Till: ORIXON SUNDAY JOUPJJAL, roiiTLAIII), SUNDAY UOUUIUO, JUIM: 1 Ritchie-Rivers Fourth of July Bout Rivals Any oh This Coast Cattle, However, Will Not Be Final Test of Superiority for Winner of Anderson-Cross Battle and MurphyAre Pretty Much In Limelight. , COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONS OF OREGON IJy W. W. KauRhton. Ban FrancUeo, Jun :. Whll th Joe Rlvers-Wllll Rltchl bout In Ban Francisco en July t will be a, world's championship event. It will not by Any means be th final tut of superiority, no far s th present batoh of light weights is concerned. Th winner of the Lach-Cros-Biid Anderson affair at Los Angeles on tha sam data will hav to ba reckoned with bofor w can boast an "undisputed champion. and ao will Harlem Tommy Murphy, who according" to actual worlc dona, rate aa high In hla claaa ai any 133 rounder In tha ring today. , 8o far aa Jhe wrat 1 concerned, how ever, the Rltchle-RIVcrs contest rival in importance any flgliMhat haa taken Place alona tha rim of the Taclflo In very" many years. It li northern Cal Ifornia against southern California and this moans unlimited Interest end a lively bettina- matter. What adds a seat to tha prospect la that the two lads compare In such' a way that there Is all manner of room . fur argument as t which la, tha better fighter. Each of them Is a rlnfman of th dashing order and It will require ) coming contest to tell which Is tha cleverer. Tola Is a casa where tha posseaalon of tha championship title counts for a lot when comparisons are In order. A cham pion Is always considered a cracker jack and any attempt to belittle bis past performances will be met with, the re tort, "well be must ba a good man or he would not ba champion." In tha present instance Ritchie's friends have to fall back on tha fact that their man Is champion when tha records of tha rival fighter are being Klzed up. To ba frank about It, Ritchie's record does not compare with that of Rivers from a fighting standpoint Willi has performed brilliantly once or twice but ha has not been thor oughly tried out, whereas tha Mexican has been as busy as Terry McOovern In the tatter's palmiest daya. Tho Los Angeles lad has founght champions, near-champions, and medi ocre men and while soma defeats have been marked up against him. ha has dona more than sufficient to offset his losing performances. It might almost ba aid that luck has played a greater part In Ritchie's career than In Rivers'. Take their experiences with Wolgast for Instance. Rltchia took the championship from Wolgast on a foul and Rivers lost to Wolgast after a blistering, close fight one In which dlvldl-d as to bien "returned opinion will te always which boy should have winner. In Los Angeles, of course, they argue mat nivers, even though dofoated, gave wolgnat a more 'gruelling battle than Ritchie did. It la In Loa Angeles tliat ona hvnrs moat frequently the re mark that Ritchie Is simply a lucky In dividual, an accidental champion- who gained his liaurels through an oppon ent's foul punch. And feeling that way about It, Loa Angeles, If it keeps up Its present mood, will back Rivers to Its utmost dollar for the big tvent on tha ourth. While on frequently bears opinions detrimental to Willie Rltchl In Ban Francisco, It can be' said with saftty, that the majority of tho resident fight fans Consider him a worthy champion. It may bo, of coursn, that local -pride, which la always a strong factor In In stances of this kind, has much to do With the good opinions that prevail. Then again, Itltchlo's winning person allty hns Its effect In gaining him friends And keeping them and each and overy on of hla supporters when asked to point out. wherein Ritchie outshines Rivers as a ring , star, will have re course to the old claim, "well, he must be good or he would not be champion." The San KrancJtcans who do not Ilk Ritchie's chances argue in the same manner, that the Loa Angelana do. They say that Ritchie's battles can be counted ou half the, fingers of on hand that he is simply a champion through a champion's mistake. And they Insist that If Ritchie had faith In himself and had been posseaeed - of the fighting spirit of the Queensberry warriors of dozen years ago he would not have rested on his oars nor taken a pride in his Ill-gotten laurels, until he had matched himself with Wolgast again and had shown that he was the master In a fight la which flukes never had a part To those who argue in this daemon u should bo said that commercialism has taken th plac of chivalry In tha prize ring and that few latter day champion experience qualms over the manner In which they gain title. The thing Is to get 'am and hang on to 'em and uaa them as levers for big theatrical dates. In th days when a newly mad champion might hava said:. "I don't Ilka th way th title came to me and I'm going to give that guy another chance,' there were no theatrical agents watch lnr hungry eyed for opportunities to book the latest heroes of the prize ring. No, sir.

There has been little big betting on the contest so far. On Vancouver, B. C. man laid $1000 to JSOO, picking Ritchie.
