Willie Ritchie Is a 10-to-8 favorite over

bout between the lightweights that will
be the feature of the programme at
Dreamland Rink tomorrow night. Al
though Lee made a decidedly good im
pression on the public when he knocked
out Tony SHva last Friday. Ritchie has
been climbing the ladder so faat of late
that he is rated to have a decidedly good
chance. If Lee can whip Ritchie, how
ever, he will be the kingpin of the light
weights in the four-round division with
no one to dispute him.
Bddie Hanlon will referee and in the
particular Instance it is not believed that
there will ba any judges, both boys
agreeing to abide by his decision.
Ritchie has completed hi training.
The San Franciscan is confident. He ex
pects to defeat Lee in more decisive
fashion than he did Abe Label. Willie
deems Label one of the toughest nuts
he has ever faced In the ring. How
ever, the visitor from the- Northwest dis

Backed up by. Tommy Tracey'a recom
