He is as quick as Jeffries was In his prime and has more real pluck than Jeff ever had. He Is also strong; as a herse and when properly trained Gunboat Smith would not last five rounds with him. as he has a powerful punch. The trouble with him now is that he has no Idea of following; up an ad vantage or using his great strength In an aggressive way. When he finds these two points he will be a match for Jack Johnson.

Bud Anderson Is a lightweight Cham, pionship probability. Tuesday night, along about 9:30 o'clock, he was a title possibility. After less than 36 minutes of fistic argument with Joe Mandot. the Vancouver. Wash., scrapper, leaped from "possibility" to "probability." Can anyone point to a likelier suc cessor to the throne upon which Willie Ritchie has sat since last Thanksgiving? Or can anyone, with a memory for the past ami regard for his prophetic Judg ment, declare that Champion Ritchie or Joe Rivers, to say nothing of other ring lights, have more than an equal chance of success against the sensational North wes terner. It Is Billy Nolan's proud boast that Willie Ritchie sprang from obscurity into the hall of champions quicker than any other lightweight in history. But It doesn't require a very daring critic to assert that one year after January 25. 1912, when Bud Anderson quit the "bushes," this unknown will be en sconsed at the top and Ritchie perform ing wl.ta Nelson and Wolgast, other ex champions. Rivera Likely Next Opponent. The next logical fight for Anderson Is against Joe Rivers, the Mexican. True, they are talking much of a bout be tween Ritchie and Rivers at San Kran cisco on July 4. but the San Francisco bout is likely to bo Ritchie vs. Murphy, with the Northwesterner and Mexican Joe the Vernon card. Can Rivers, based simply on his fights with Mandot. beat Anderson? Figure it out for yourself: Mandot and Rivers fought two 20-round fights, with Man dot victor In the first and Rivers in the second. Anderson knocked out Mandot in 13 rounds, the second time Joe has ever been thus victimized. It was no fluke. victory, mind you. like the lucky one Leach Cross achieved after being pummeled hard for eight rounds, but a clean-cut decisive verdict. Can you Imagine Anderson and Mandot or Ander son and Rivers battling for 40 rounds without a knockdown? Many critics based their opinion of Anderson on the Knockout Brown flght. Rivers knocked out Brown in nine rounds; Anderson went 20 rounds to s draw and then stopped bis man In 15 rounds. Thus, according to many of them. Bud' was nothing but a good sec ond rater, a work horse, and not in the class of Mandot. Ritchie and Rivera Wonder what they are saying now? Anderson was simply unfit for bis first mill with Brown and was not quite so lucky as Rivers In the second. Ritchie's Laurels Scanned. Tast performances are not always good criterion, as may be gathered from the above paragraph, but there is most assuredly not sufficient luster on the records of either Ritchie or Rivers to make them favorites over Anderson. Ritchie, 23 years old. has bad 22 fights, losing to Welsh in 20 rounds and win ning from Wolgast on a foul. He boxed a ten-round, no-declslon mill with Man dot at New Orleans on June 4 of last year, won from Matty Baldwin in 20 rounds, knocks . Yankee Schwartz in two rounds and went six rounds to no decision with Toung Saylor. Mandot did not knock out Schwartz, but be did lay Young Saylor low. Rivers Is 21 years old. has had 23 or 23 fights, was knocked out by Kil bane. acain by Wolgast, and lost once to Mandot. He stopped Brown in nine rounds and shaded Leach Cross, whose knockout over Mandot was conceded a fluke. Bud Anderson Is to the lightweight division as Gunboat Smith Is to the heavy in one particular; he has a reli able knockout punch. But aside from this Anderson leaves Smith far behind. He Is a two-banded "knockout. ' strong, big for his class, and Is clever. If he is as clever or cleverer than Mandot, and the reports of the recent fight would Indicate this, has there been a lightweight of the modern ring equipped as he? AXDERSOX WHYS FOLLOWERS California Ring Fans "Warm Vp" to Vancouver, Wash., Fighter. LOS ANGELES. CaU May 21. (Spe cial.) Bud Andersons easy victory over Joe Mandot has certainly estab lished him as a drawing card in the Southland. Today, followers of tne ring game axe doping the Vancouver boy as the logical opponent for Joe Rivers. It is probable that Promoter aicarey will listen to the demands of the fans and stage a Rivers-Anderson battle If Rivers doesn't secure a match with Ritchie, but at present the latter matcn is "ud In the air" and the probable out. come will be an Anderson-Rivers fight. "Joe Rivers is the one fellow I want to sret right now and the next, uvam plon Ritchie." said Anderson. "I expect to take a run up home for a short visit, then start in training again for Whom ever Manager Lonald selects.
