New Lightweight TItlc-Holdor Fights Way to Victory "With Waspish Left and Stinging Right; Jjoev Denies Fouling His Rival. DALY CITY ARENA. Cal.. Nov. 28 '- Wobbling around on his leaden legs, his eyes Blazed and his body reeling, Ad Wolgast. conqueror of Battling Nelson, fouled Willie Ritchie twice in the 16th round of their fight today and with a wave of Referee Jim Grif - fin's hand, which disqualified the ex- champion. Ritchie became lightweight .. champion of the world. Bv his cool, calculating ring general ship, his courage and his all-around splendid fighting ability. Ritchie won his spurs in the championship dlvis . Ion. Although the record books will ' not show a knockout to his credit over Wolgast. he indisputably punched his - way round after round, to a victory with his waspish left to the face and his stinging right cross. ' Ritchie Aggrewior at End. The end cf the fight came after ii those at the ringside had noticed in the 15th round that Wolgast's strength , was waning a mite. . The boys faced each other In the 16th, Ritchie con fidently carrying the milling to the champion, from whose face the sneering -' smilo had passed. As Wolgast was going away, Ritchie made mm wince with a two-handed volley to tne mia f.i section and then, quickly shot out a crashing right and caught the Cadillac fighter fairly on the jaw. He fell i back on the ropes and sagged, pitching " forward in another instant toward his own corner. Ritchie crowded him - and he raised his head, the San Fra- ciscan repeated the right cross and W oleast went sprawling. : At the count of four Wolgast. his brain clouded, flung himself through sheer instinct at his antagonist. Ritchie true to his agreement had walked to the opposite sido or the ring wnen nis opponent went to the canvas. As Wol gast came at him he rushed to meet him and the two exchanged blows. Dased, Wolgast Hits Uir. Badly dazed, Wolgast yet covered so that Ritchie could not send in tne fin ishing smash and only 24 seconds re mained of the life of the round. Ritchie, ' near his own corner, poised the deadly right cross again when Wolgast's left i took him low. Billy Nolan, his manager, leaped to the edge of the ring and shouted to ? Referee Griffin and hundreds of voices raised the cry of foul," foul." Griffin rushed over and cautioned Wolgast, but in another instant the left rip of the champion found the same spot. Ritchie tried to fight back, but he was plainly in distress. Griffin then rushed between the fighters, pushed Wolgast aside and raised Ritchie's hand in token of vic tory. The crowd at the ringside cheered and hundreds rushed to shake - the hand of the new king of the light weights. - - . Wolgast Badly Wonted. Wolgast had the better of seven of the rounds, four were even and the remainder were easily Ritchie's. In the first two the local lad outboxed the champion In he fourth he outfought him and in the 10th, which was really ' the turning-point of the fight, he stood shoulder to shoulder with him and slugged to body and head. Wolgast had much the worst of the milling, and Tom i ' Jones, his manager. Increased the al lowance of brandy that the champion ;ih8d taken during each intermission. All through the fight Ritchie blocked i-. and ducked cleverly but Wolgast's left C hand bruised his left eye and nearly : closed it. In the in-fighting his right ,.eye was slightly damaged and his Up puffed a bit. Wolgasfs blows did little wother damage. Wolgast" seemingly was lacking in , condition. In the round before the . finish his legs Were so heavy he could hardly lift his feet from the mat, while " Ritchie, fresh and breathing easily, f danced around his puffing adversary and pecked him with straight lefts. Wolgast Denies Foaling;. Wolgast says that he did not in tentionally foul Ritchie and that he thinks it is a poor way to win a fight. "I didn't hear Griffin caution me and 'I do not bJieve I struck a foul blow," -he said after the fight. "Ritchie was rough, and when I first got Into ' trouble In the sixteenth it was from .'-'his throwing me against the ropes in stead of bitting me. I would fight him again tomorrow." Ritchie protested that he was fouled, . but said that he was strong and could ' have finished Wolgast in. another round. The new champion, known to the sporting world as Willie Ritchie, was Teared in San Francisco as Gary Stef- fen. He drove sand wagon teams for his older brothers until he was 15 years old, when he began boxing. He showed his quality in the amateur ranks and soon blossomed out in pre liminaries. In his every-day work he rose to the dignity of a chauffeur and automobile mechanician. . , Ritchie's Rise Rapid. His first bid for the lightweight title was a year ago today, when he sub stituted for Ad Wolgast In Los An ?geles when the latter underwent an operation for appendicitis and boxed 20 rounds with Freddie Welch. Since then he all but won In ten rounds from joe Mandot In New Orleans, and last May boxed four rattling rounds with Wolgast, flooring the champion once. He is 21 years old and of German par entage. -- The arena was crowded to the guards and several thousand people were 'turned away at the gates. James W. Coffroth, the promoter, estimates that there was $40,000 in the house. Both of the preliminary events were .-fast. The first, a four round event, resulted in young Lanum knocking out ".Willie Hansan In the second round. - Ray Campbell and Louis Rees fought a six round draw. Both are llght- weights. Wolgast received $15,000, previously guaranteed, as bis end of the purse. Ritchie's portion was $6339, or 60 per -rent of the $27,678 gate money, after ' the deduction of Wolgast's share. Ronnd One. Ritchie, with the men fighting close, scored several times to the head and face before the champion essayed the 'f.nsive. They mixed fiercely In a neutral corner and the Callfornian scored first blood as a result of a suc r cession of short-arm blows to the inouth. Wolgast spat blood as he took ills seat Ritchie's round. Ronnd Two. Woigast opened the round with a 'rush, breathing heavily.

WILLIE rights to the jaw. drove two wicked rights to the jaw and a left uppercut over the heart. Ritchie broke ground and looked worried. Wolgast, still spitting blood, drove two telling lefts to the stomach. The round ended witn desperate in-fighting. Wolgast a shade. Ronnd Three. Wolgast drove two wicked rights to the stomach and a right to the mouth, starting a thin stream of blood. Wol gast almost sent his man through the ropes with a tremendous right to the Jaw, but Ritchie fought back with such fierceness that it looked as If the cham pion would succumb. The bell ended the round with both men bleeding from the mouth. Even. - Round Four. Both fighters seemed eager, and shoulder to shoulder they exchanged right uppercuts to the Jaw, the cham pion's punches having by far the great er power behind them. Ritchie drove the champion against the ropes, landing several snappy facers. He shook Wol gast with two heavy drives over tne heart, and the "Wildcat" stood in his own corner and covered up. Ritchie had the advantage, and the crowd cheered him lustily. Round Five. After a rally at the ropes they ex changed hard lefts to the Jaw and some clever blocking on the part of both men brought cheers from the crowd, Wolgast then chopped a wloked right to the jaw and quick as a flash shot his left to the law. A right cross al most sent Ritchie to his haunches and the champion followed this with two tremendous punches and a right that all but closed the Calif ornlan s right eye. It was the best round of the fight up to this stage and decidedly In favor of Wolgast. Round Six. Wolgast fought with great coolness, and took no chances with the shifty local boxer. He kept at a safe distance and landed several solid lefts over Ritchie's Injured eye. At close range the champion hammered away at the boy, landing several telling wallops. one reaching the pit of the stomach with great force. Ritchie fought back gamely, but his hitting power was de ficient, and the champion took his cor ner grinning broadly, with the honors much in his favor. Round Seven. Wolgast rushed In and planted his right solidly to-the jaw. It made Willie wince perceptibly. Wolgast began to talk to Ritchie as they busied them selves at close range with the champion whipping several punches to the jaw and body that all but floored the Call fornian. Ritchie appeared a bit groggy at this stage and took his seat un steadily. Wolgast's round by a wide margin, Ritchie having scarcely landed a blow of consequence. Round Eight. Ritchie came up with a sick smile. and the chumplon immediately busied himself with short range blows to the face. The champion's defense was vlr. tually Impenetrable, and time and again Ritchie's blows went for naught. Wol gast landed a half-dozen clouts to the body and jaw, and scampered to his corner the acme of confidence. Wol gast's round. Round Mne. Ritchie's right eye was entirely closed as he came up to meet the cham pion's never-falling rush.- The cham pion chased his man about the ring and after blocking Ritchie's many at tempts, drove fearful rights and lefts to the stomach, punishing his man severely. There was no stopping htm and the wonder was that the Call fornian weathered the ' gale. Made desperate, Ritchie swapped punches, landing several hard right swings on the face. It was Wolgast's round, how ever. Round Ten. They fought together, with Wolgast doing considerable execution on the body with left and right uppercuts de livered at close quarters. Ritchie bat tled back with surprising vim and tilted the champion's heai with straight left and right punches. Wolgast here lost his poise and Ritchie hammered "him unceasingly with right and left swings to the Jaw. Ritchie's round. Ronnd Eleven. Ritchie took the battle to the cham pion. Wolgast swung wildly and Ritchie landed several straight right punches to the jaw. Ritchie planted solid rights and lefts to the face as Wolgast swung wildly. Again It was Ritchie's round. The champion had slowed up considerably. Ronnd Twelve. Wolgast, after some Infighting, chopped a wicked right to the eye and followed Jt with a left drive to the stomach. Ritchie, however, retaliated RITCHIE. with straight rights to the face, and rushed the champion about the ring. Ritchie drove his right to the stomach and followed it with a series of face punches. Wolgast finally flung his left solidly on the point of the chin, 'but Ritchie never faltered and went coolly to his corner. Round even. Round Thirteen. Fighting head to head, they ex changed face blows, Wolgast's delivery being wild. Both appeared surprisingly strong, considering the' fast pace, and each seemed willing to force the fight ing. Wolgast fought his man to the ropes. The bell ended an uninteresting and even round. Round Fourteen. The round opened fiercely In the center of the ring, both missing con stantly. Wolgast forced the Callfor nian against the ropes, planting two good rights to the stomach and a, left over the closed eye. Ritchie countered with a rain of light right stomach punches. Wolgast shot a nasty straight left to the nose, sending Ritchie's head back a foot. He then almost closed Ritchie's good eye, a hard right to that member accounting for It. Wol gast a shade. Round Fifteen. Ritchie was able to see from one eye only as he squared off. He angered the champion by shooting a wicked left to the pit of the stomach and both bat tled ineffectually at close range. Ritchie landed a volley of lefts to the stomach and clearly outboxed the champion. Wolgast closed the round with a hard drive to the stomach. -Wolgast had been given a taste of whiskey during each round Intermission. -Round Sixteen. Ritchie suddenly drove his right to the jaw with terrific force and Wol gast went to tottering against the ropes. A moment later the Callfornian sent the champion to the floor with a right similarly applied and Wolgast came up reeling. Again Ritchie's right shot out and Wolgast was sent against the ropes. Ritchie, however, lacked power to put in a finishing blow. The best Wolgast could do was close range stalling. All the while his eyes glazed. With the men locked, Wolgast brought his left up from his side and struck Ritchie low. The blow was clearly discernible, and the crowd yelled its protest. Referee Griffin grasped Wolgast, saying: "Do that again and I'll dis qualify you." He had scarcely fin ished when Wolgast duplicated the punch, again catching Ritchie below the belt. Griffin stopped the' fight and promptly awarded the fight to Ritchie. BAKER HIGH TEAM CHAMPIONS Eastern Oregon Title Settled When Wallowa Falls, 82 to 7. . - BAKER. Or., Nov. 28. (Special.) Baker High School football team won from Wallowa High School today in this city by a score of 32 to 7, and thereby settled definitely the champion ship of Eastern Oregon. The game was fast throughout, both teams relying on straight football for the most part though Baker executed some forward passes very cleverly. In one of these the Baker boys made a 25-yard run for a touchdown. Besides outclassing the Wallowa boys in this department of the game they clearly outplayed them in every other department and only In a few instances did the visitors endanger the goal of the locals. In the first five minutes of play the Wallowa boys surprised their opponents and scored after which they kicked the goal. This was their only score and the only time they came within striking distance of the goal. Baker, also made two touchdowns and one goal in the first quarter and rolled up the remainder of her score in the last three quarters. The game though brilliant at times in interference work by both sides was more or less ragged and marked by long gains around the ends by both teams.

WINNER'S FORM IS SUPERB Twenty Rounds Are Fast and Grnel ling From Start and "Pride or South" Is Easy Prey to Vic tim of Four Months Ago. L.OS ANGELES, Nov. 28. Joe Man dot, the pride of the South, went down to defeat today before the tigerish onslaughts of Joe Rivers of Los An geles, over whom he had won an easy decision less than three months ago. It was a clean-cut victory for the Mexican, who showed a remarkable re versal of form, exhibiting more speed and cleverness than heretofore in his career. It was nearly dark and the" electric lights over the ring had been lighted when Referee Eyton hoisted Klvers' hand In token of victory, at the close of the 20th round, but it was a need less formality. Only one decision was possible. Mill Fast and Gruelling. It was a fast and gruelling fight from start to finish. At times both boys threw caution to the winds and slugged fiercely in their desperate ef forts to end the fight with a knock out, yet the nearest thing to a knock down was scored by Rivers in the 15th round, when he almost floored the Frenchman with a terrific onslaught of right and left swings to the Jaw, followed by clinches in which he rammed both hands . to the stomach, with an occasional uppercut to the chin. " Mandot appeared to be almost out. but he rallied gamely and managed to obtain somethink like an even break in the succeeding two rounds by slug ging at close quarters with the Mexican,- who had cast all defensive ef forts in an attempt to put the South erner down for the count. Mandot's Judgment of distance, how ever, was weakened by his desperation and he was thrown off his balance time after time by his -wild swings. Knockout Attempt Falls. ' All science was discarded in the last round. Standing close they slammed rights and lefts to the head and, clos lng In, they fought fiercely head to head with honors about even for the round as the. final gong clanged. The Rivers of today was a wholly different boxer from the boy who was so hopelessly outclassed by the New Orleans lightweight on Labor day. He fought a cool and heady battle, and instead of covering on the attacks of the Southerner he fought the latter In his own way. Time after time he beat Mandot "to it" with left swings and his defense was nearly perfect against the stinging straight lefts with which Mandot tantalized and punished him in their previous en counter. Rivers to Challenge Ritchie. Rivers' form reversal puzzled Mandot as much as It did the sporting writers. Rivers was literally on top of the Southerner when they were not slug ging at long range, shooting hard rights and lefts to the body with an occasional uppercut, a method of of fensive fighting against which Man dot's science was of little avail. Several times Referee Fyton was compelled to pry them apart and once Rivers hit the referee in the break away. Neither of the boys were badly marked at the close of the fight. Rivers scored first blood with a left to the mouth and in the 15th Mandot spat out a tooth. Both bore bruised faces and an old cut over Rivers' left eye bled slightly. Rivers will challenge Willie Ritchie Immediately for a lightweight cham plonshlp battle. PAPER CHASE FINISH CLOSE Walter Grutter Wins Hunt Cluh Function Before Rig Crowd.

MAKES CROSS BACK UP. Ex-Clianiplon Gains All Laurels of Contest by Way He Wades Into Snre Befent. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Leach Cross outpointed Battling Nelson In a ten round bout here today. Nelson took a great deal of punishment, but was forcing the fight at the finish. Cross weighed 138 pounds at the ringside and Nelson was four ounces heavier. Cross started in with left jabs to' the face and right and left hooks to the head. The Battler was outclassed but managed to land hard on the Jaw with right and left and had Cross crouching at the end of the first round. It was all In Cross' favor in the second with hooks and uppercuts, but Nelson sent in a straight left which discolored Cross' right eye. Nelson took a lot of punishment in the next two rounds, but surprised everyone, Cross in particular, by boring right in for the body with weak blows that did no damage. Three terrific left hooks to the Jaw shook Nelson In the fourth session, but he was game and refused to back away. At the end of the seventh round Nelson was forcing Cross all over the ring. A right uppercut and a right and left swing dazed Nelson In the eighth. Nelson got to Cross' body In the ninth, but took a score of hooks on the head and a hard right on the Jaw in return. The Dane tried to get in a good punch, but fell short and his left caught the referee "Young Corbett" on the ear. Nelson's willingness against sure defeat was remarkable and he actually made Cross back up, forcing him from corner to corner until the final bell. It was a wonderful showing on Nelson's part and Cross did not gain any laurels by outpointing him. FAMOUS "SPREAD" PLAY USED TO ADVANTAGE. Missionaries Are Outplayed From Start to Finish Score of Contest Is 13 to 6. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 28. CSpecial.)

Idaho outplayed the Missionaries from the whistle, though Whitman scored first by sending Kinder over the line in the second quarter. This was the only quarter in which Whit man showed form. Idaho's two scores came in the fourth quarter and E. Perkins, captain and quarter, made both. The second was made into a goal. Idaho's line outheld Whitman in most Instances. Twice did Idaho come with in striking distance of the goal, once to lose the ball on a fumble, the second time to have time called. The game was very rough. The men mixing frequently. Both teams were hea.vily penalized for offenses. Idaho used tne "spread time aner time In a pinch. Whitman occasionally smashed It to bits, only the next time to see it good for several yards. .Per kins, the Idaho quarter, played a star came, his heady work being responsi ble for many gains. The whole' Idaho backfleld. Burns, Brown and Knudsen, did excellent work, while Niles and Kinder for Whitman starred.

CANADA BASEBALL WEIRD Chesty Cox Tells How Pennants Are ' Won Across Border. Chesty Cox. manager of the Bassano club in the Western Canadian League, the smallest city in organized base- k.ll .tAnnail nff In Pnrt Tl r? VPfitPniflV for a visit with Walter McCfedie. Cox broke into baseball with Minneapolis in 1898 when McCredie wore a Miller uniform. ' Despite his years and he bears them well Cox led the .Western Canada circuit last year both in hit ting and fielding in the sun garden. His clouting average was .348. Chesty has played ball in as many different localities as there are stars In the flag. And he has had more unusual experiences than Rip Van Winkle. Two years ago Chesty played with Edmonton in the famous three- eames-in-an-afternoon scandal In which Lethbridge tossed off the trio on the last day of the season to beat Calgary out of the pennant. The games were later thrown out but tne iuss disruDted the circuit. Last year Bassano led by three points after winning a game from uaigary the last afternon of the first-half race. When the score of the game was tele graphed to Edmonton, the Edmonton and Red Deers donned rubber boots and got away with a five inning water- polo affray that night witn tne oau park a veritable pond. Anyway Red Deer finished ahead by five points. I don't think the league will be re organized in 1913 as all four clubs lost money," said Cox. "Imagine at Bassano, a town of less than 800 people, we had a monthly salary roll of J2100. All four teams lost orer $5000." Manager Cox and his wife are couna for Southern California for the Winter. He has sold out his business at Bassa no. Railroad Repairs Highway. SPRINGFIELD, Or., Nov. 28. (Spe-. clal.)

RED AND BLUE WINS, 7-2 Ithicans Score Safety Early In the Contest on Slushy Field and Have Big Margin In Punt ing Duel Thereafter. PHILADEfJpHIA, Nov. 28. Pennsyl vania added another victory today to her long string of successes over the Cornell football team by winning the Thanksgiving game on Franklin Field, 7 to 2. It had been snowing almost ten hours before the game was begun and the ffeld was covered with slush, caus ing both teams frequently to muff or fumble the slippery ball. This condition of the field was indirectly responsible for all the scoring. Cornell got her two points as Carl Marshall, the linesman, was watching the final seconds of the first period kick oft. It had been a punting game all through the period and the ball was on Pennsylvania s 20-yard line, where Minds attempted to punt. J, Whyte broke through the Pennsylvania line and blocked the kick. Minds and Whyte raced after the ball and the Pennsylvanlan fell on it one yard from his goal line, but before he could re cover himself he slid in the mud across the goal and Referee Langford de clared a safety in favor of Cornell. Pennsy Scores on Fnmblr. Pennsylvania's touchdown came un expectedly near the end of the second period. Cornell had the ball in mid field as the result of a punt. Bennett, who had gone into the game at right halfback for Cornell, replacing Fritz, fumbled and Captain Mercer, of Penn sylvania, caught it on the rebound. He was 55 yards from Cornell's goal, with a clear field, and, dashing down the field, outrunning Cornell s neetest man, he made an easy touchdown. Because of the wet field, the game resolved itself largely Into a kicking contest, in which Butler, of Cornell, had the better of Minds, even with the wind against him. Butler's kinks usual ly gained ground on the Pennsylvanlan. Gains by Rushing Sma Neither team was consistently able to advance by rushing, except in sev eral instances when The man carrying the ball broke through for a ten-yard gain. But few first downs were made by either team. The lineup: -PAnnnvlvanla. Cornell.
