Title Holder Retains Honors
In Clever Ring Battle. '
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. A wicked
jlght cross the same blow which
forced Ad Wolgast to foul away the
lightweight championship proved too
great a stumbling' block for Joe Rivers
in his attempt to wrest the light
weight title from Champion "Willie
Ritchie today.
The Mexican was knocked out In the
eleventh round of a scheduled 20-round
battle.
Immediately preceding the knockout,
Ritchie toppled his victim over for the
count ot nine with a right to the jaw.
Another right to the chin, preceded by
a left to the stomach, settled River's
chances as a lightweight contender.
Rivera Looks Winner.
Twice during the earlier rounds It
looked as If Rivers might win. Ritchie's
wonderful ring generalship and ability
to Btrike effectively straight from the
shoulder with either hand, however,
offset the Mexican's tremendous
swings, which frequently found their
mark. After the fifth Rivers swung
wildly.
At the start,' .both men, on their
mettle, were eager to mix at close
range. xThe first round left no choice,
but in the second, third and fourth
rounds the Mexican punished the cham
pion severely with swinging blows to
the face and body, several of which
staggered Ritchie and caused an omin
ous feeling in his corner.
The San Franciscan rallied, however.
In the fifth and thereafter displayed
championship form.. He met the South,
erner's ill-timed rushes with snappy
left and right smashes to the face
which cut deep, and easily took care
of the wild rushes and swings, which
missed him by many inches.
Champion's Smile There.
The champion beamed -with confi
dence as the fight progressed. In the
seventh he opened up a gash over
Rivers' left eye, and in the following
round cut his face severely. A left
uppercut to the chin in the tenth lit
erally lifted Rivers from the floor.
The eleventh and final round had
scarcely opened when Ritchie's right
ehot out, catching Rivers squarely on
the point of the chin. He went down
as if struck by a hammer. Nine sec
onds were tolled off before he gained
his feet. The champion's left sank into
the Mexican's stomach, a right upper
cut reached the falling pugilist's jaw,
and the fight was over.
The battle was fought under perfect
Weather conditions in the open, and
was witnessed by approximately 7000
persons. The receipts, it was stated,
aggregated $30,000. The fight by
rounds:

to the Jaw. Rivers gave his man little
time to set, wading in and flinging
right and left to the Jaw and body. So

fell to the mat from its force. It was
Rivers' round and Ritchie seemed wor
ried as he took his seat.
Round Four.
Rivers, '.covering up, closed in and at-
tacked the champion's stomach. Ritchie,
however, was wary and Baved himself
many times, but Rivers finally pene
trated his opponent's guard, hooking

cross to the jaw almost floored the
champion, who found difficulty in
maintaining his poise. ' Rivers meas

jtivers eye. suddenly the Mexican
threw himself at the champion and all

with honors even.

After Rivers had opened with two
lefts to the face, the champion
straightened him up with several fac

chopped a hard left on the face, and

ilar kind. Ritchie then almost lifted

decision over Tommy Dixon, of Kansas
City, at the end of a ten-round fight
here today.
Three knockdowns were scored by
Dundee. Dixon met Dundee's rushes
with solid right and left hooks to the

big lead on points by three knockdowns

ever, forced Dixon to take the count,
he being up each time Quickly.
Dundee's speed at times was dazzling,

not land as many keen blows, seemed
to possess the hardest punch and in the
exchanges more than held his own.
The last round was a terriflo session

bleeding from mouth and nose and his
eyes were almost closed.

' BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. (Special.)
Willie Ritchie today established him
self beyond. any question as the world's
lightweight champion. There may have
been doubts yesterday as to the real
worth of the San Franciscan, but they
were hushed when Ritchie, havinsr
solved the puzzling attack of Joe Riv
ers after four uphill rounds, assumed
the lead In the fifth, outboxed and out
generaled his opponent after the style
of Joe Gans, and finally, In the 11th
round, dropped the Southerner with a
hard right cross and when the Mexican
stood on his feet, sent in a left hook
to the body that sent Rivers down fori
v. i . t.
The round was not more than well
underway when the local lad registered
his sensational victory and demonstrat
ed to the satisfaction of 'the packed
house that he knows how to box and
that he is a punlsber as well.
Finish Is Xasntnlna; Fait.
The champion started the round with
short right jolts to the body and Riv
ers backed away from him. A left to
the head was followed by a feint with
the left to the 'body. The inexperienced
Southerner dropped his guard and quick
as a flash Ritchie, who had been reserv
ing all his strength, sent across' the
right. It connected to the Jaw and Riv
ers dropped on the instant. He took
the full count, but as he staggered to
his feet, still dazed, Ritchie, who had
been held back by Referee Graney, sent
in la left hook to the body and this time
Rivers was flat on his face, unable to
do more than lift his head. When the
count was finished Graney upheld
Ritchie's hand in token of victory and
Rivers' seconds carried him to his cor
ner. That both punches were hard blows
was evidenced by the blank look on
Rivers' face. He stared with unseeing
eyes at the curious crowd that surged
around him and even when Ritchie
came across the ring to shake hands
wtlh him there was little life on the
part of the Los Angeles boy.
Rivera Forces Fight at Start.
The match was by no means an un
even atfair, even though in the closing
rounds the San Francisco boy was do
ing all the leading. It looked bad for
Ritchie at the outset, as Rivers crowded
him and he looked wprried and tired.
Rivers was forcing the battle and land
ing left hooks which Ritchie seemed un
able to avoid. In the third round the
champion was badly jolted and looked
faiighty tired, all the result of a hard
left hook that Rivers landed as the
pair were coming out of one of their
clinches. It set Ritchie on the defen
sive immediately and caused ringside
betting that had favored the local man
at 10 to 6 to switch suddenly with Riv
ers the choice at 2 to 1.
And right there was where Joe Riv
ers lost any possible chance of winning
the fight. He might, by crowding
rutcnie, nave nurt tne san Franciscan.
As it was, he contented himself with a
good lead for the round.
Ritchie Regains Confidence.
The fifth round gave Ritchie the con
fidence that he needed. His blows be
fore seemed to have little force and
there was a tired look on his face. The
in the fifth he took command of the
situation, did the forcing and landed
lshort jolts that must have been e-
fective. Rivers lost his aggressiveness
and with a cut over the left eye and
his mouth spilt, didn't appear anxious
to mix things.
From that time on It was Ritchie's
fight and he showed much of old Joe
Gans' cleverness in meeting the Mexi
can's rushes. Rivers will never be a
champion, as he showed mental slow
ness and lack of bulldog pluck when
the fight went against him. Ritchie
proved he was a champion by his heady
fight against a dangerously awkward
man and his cleverness In stopping his
rushes.
BtTD'S PARENTS STILL HOPEFUL
Mother of "Vancouver's Pridert
Thinks Boy Will Be Champion.
VANCOUVER. Wash., July 4. (Spe
cial.) When news was flashed to Van
couver, Bud Anderson's home town, that
Leach Cross had knocked the local boy
out in the 12th round, thousands of his
admirers who had gathered at various
places to hear the returns shook their
heads and said "something must be
wrong." There was no demonstration.
Mrs. Charles Anderson, Bud's mother,
and Charles, his father, are of the opin
ion that "something was slipped over"
on Bud at the last minute. He had
written to them regularly, and only
yesterday they had received a letter
saying he was In the best of condition
and expected to win.
"I'll bet if they fight again Buddie
will win in five or six rounds," said
Mrs. Anderson tonight.
The family has sent a telegram to
Bud, but no answer has been received.
"But no champion ever got to the
top without "meeting some defeats,"
philosophized Mrs. Anderson, "and Bud
will yet be champion. He never will
give up."

was awarded the decision.
Except in the fourth and seventh
rounds White was on he defense and
Referee Burke cautioned him several
times against his continued "stalling."

GLOOM HANGS OVER MEDFORD
Fan Cries as Bud Goes Down and
One Is Reported tp- Have Xiost Crop.
MEDFORD. Or.. July 4. (Special.)
There is no Joy In Medford for Bud
Anderson has been knocked out. Med
ford fight fans had never before been
so confident of victory as in tnis
20-round fight with Leach Cross.
Those who did not go to Los Angeles
put their last penny on Bud's winning,
some taking the short end of 2 to 1.
Many wagers were placed at even
money that Bud would score a knock
out in 10 rounds. Immense crowds
gathered on Main street to listen to
the Teturns and when Bud went down
in the first round, heartfelt groans
were audible on all sides.
One well-known sport wept without
shame when the final returns came in.
It is safe to say that Medford fans are
$2500 poorer as odds were given on all
sides. It is reported that one rancher
lost his entire fruit crop on the result.
The only man who won is Frankie Ed
wards, fight promoter, who matched
Bud in this city and predicted his de
feat at the hands of Man-dot. Edwards
picked up all the good money he could
find at big odds and made a cleanup.
In spite of disappointment Medford
fans are preparing to give Bud a
hearty welcome when he returns. It Is
the general opinion here that over-
confidence is the cause of his defeat
and that he still has a chance to get
back among the top notchers.

a splendid growing business on this

his paper could not do anvthlne- to
bring an increase but he kept after us
so persistently tnat we Degan to reel
we were losing money by not following
his advice and even now. after so
short a time, we must admit that he
knew what he was talkins- about wa
didn't realize there were so many men
wno naa not smoicea Tom Keenes If
you are one of the men who has not
tried a Tom Keene in a long time we
suggest that you step into any first
