By Joo Rivers I am just ns sure of win ning the lightweight title to morrow ns Willie Ritchio is. I havo never figured on defeat and will not be at all sur prised if I Mop tho champion early in tho fray. I do not say thin boastfully, but base my belief on my condition and all around ability. There is no question about my being faster than Ritchie, I can box us good and can hit harder. Omo punch is nil I want nud when it lands (hero will be a new champion. RITCHIE AND IK .- MM ' 4 4 4 i3f V - ODD FAVOR UD mm c s WHISTLER TELLS OF GREAT IN BY LEANS VICTORY SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 3. Ritchie was up bright and early to day and ono of tho first things ho did was to step on tho scales. Tho weight was set at 134 pounds and the beam hung squarely in the cen ter. A short rest followed breakfast and then tho chnmpion went out for a stroll. His spirits were high and if ho had any cares or worries-ho did not ihow (hem. . Itltclilo in Fine Fettle "Tho boy could not possibly be better," said Trainer Foley. "He slept like n top last night and when ho jumped out of bed this morning ho wns as fresh as a daisy. His friends need not bo nfroid of his condition. There is nothing wrong with him any where. When ho steps out of tho ring tomorrow afternoon he will still bo tho possessor of tho lightweight title." Ritchio will play nround tho gym nasium this afternoon doing only enough work to keep loosened up. Rivers will do the same nt tho Seal House. Both boys so far as can be told, arc right as right can be. Yielding to pleas mado by scores of persons that tho fight, if held enlier, would interfere with a big parade, Promoter Grancy today an nounced ns final that the preliminar ies to tho event will start nt 1:15 l. ml tomorrow nnd that tho main event will begin at 2 p. m.

The Leans took the Fats measure yesterday and won by the narrow margin of 31 to 30 in n ten-inning game, it was a great game and the spectators were .given their moneys worth of hits, errors, excitement nnd thrills, while score kceiwrs were kept usually buy. I believe that we deserved to win and with the handicap of only three basemen, a pitcher and cutcher it was some hard fjglit. I wanted to play Nate Biden but this wns opposed by Miles becanse Kate had played three innings in a game four years ago and had not played previously for twelve years. To the audience I wish to offer an nixilogy for tho wrangle nnd delay but I felt that Biden wns entitled to play. The boys took n great lead in the first three innings nnd hit in the pinches when tho runs were needed. Burgess saved tho game in lbs tenth inning by a wonderful catch nnd run made into deep center for the ball. Bevcridgo did what wns thought impossible by pitching the entire ten innings of good ball. With an arm badly bmined in the second inning through n mix up with Kelly's legs when running to second base and fin ished in better form than when ho began. Hunt played n good gamo making two bpectucnlnr catches and wns there with tho stick. Summcrvillo was high man of tho day making eight scores and was in fine form throughout tho game. Whislerraado tho only homo run made and was not struck out in tho entire game. I wish to state Rudy Shultz is the fairest, clearest headed, best posted young chap that I have ever seen um pire a game. Tho players on both sides, tho score keepers, tho umpires mid Shorty Miles all havo an ice cream corning at Foster's ice cream parlor.

Tho Whlsler aggregation by tho narrowest possible margin, to-wlt. one lucky fluko scoro. nosed out tho Fats in a gruelling ten Inning con test that was as intensely exciting as a Mexican revolution nnd for actu al casunlty about thrco times as dan gerous to participate in. The scoro was 31 to SO. When Whlsler figured that his ossified nlno would wear out their heavier opiKincntB over tho mara thon route, ho mado the orror if his llfo for tho closo of the gamo found tho Fats just rounding Into form whllo Whlsler and his lean crowd were literally nil in. Tho early spasms of tho game were a walk over for tho Leans, but after tho first half of tho game, when tho Fats wero nlno runs behind and at a tlmo when Whlsler confidently ex pected them to blow up they girded up their loins nnd fell onto young Devcrldgo's curves In a manner that threatened to prolong tho game over tho Fourth. A llttlo questionable umpiring by nrousc caused conslderaglo wrangling during tho early hours of tho gnmo and If Pitcher Illghnm had not be come so peeved over somo of tho rulings and kept the ginger fizzing In his pitching, there would certain- FOR BIG BATTLE LOS ANUKIiKS, Cal., duly 3. Wilh gtoes nud other training no-eos-ories in tho discard, Leach Cross of New York nnd Mud Anderson of Medford, Oregon are today in the nervous interim between the comple tion of training nud the hour that will send them together at Vernon lotuor iovv afternoon in n scheduled twenty round glove battle. Both boys nppear to be in pet foot condition. Cross claims to have been at the weight for several days, nud Anderson is insistent that tho pound nge has m no way impaired Ins strength. Public opinion hits made Anderson a ten to seven favorite. Much Ore gon money, however, has had its ef fect on the betting, nud ninny of the wise ones predict that the figures will be more nearly even nt ring time. Cross wound up his training yes terday at Vernon, boxing six rounds with Harry Carter and Kid Dnttou. The Hebrew showed he was in the depths of a grouch that delighted his camp mates. He will test today. Anderson stated that he would do light road work today to hold down his weight. He is sanguine of suc cess tomorrow nnd already is de manding a match with the winner of the Ritchie-Rivers match in San Francisco. Reservations nt tho ringside are being taken up rapidly. The boys probably will box before a $30,00) house.

Ho ROES AND BABES RAN SHINE ly bo n dejected bunch of Loans around town today. For tho Fats, that sterling old Grandpa Kentncr nt first was a shin ing star throughout. Fabrlck be hind tho bat nnd at the bat placd a splendid game, whllo dates at third and Lnldly at second gnvo their ev ery ounco to tho Fat cause. There wero n number of collisions during tho gamo both verbal and physical. Whlsler and Shorty Miles being most conspicuous In tho oral bumps. Whlsler collided with Kel ly nt second nnd later Kelly collided with Whlsler nt borne. Hcvorldgo also came Into Kelly with dire re sults to himself. ' A goodly sized crowd wntr on hand many of whom remained dlnnorlest to ceo tho finish of tho struggle. I bollovo tho umpires woru uni formly, fair nud that tho Leans won n clean cut, though closo victory, but that tho luck breaks of tho game wero as decidedly wltii Whlsler ns they wero against Napoleon at Wa terloo. From a spectator's stand point, vaudeville around Medfonl will appear rather tamo for somo time to come. AT SPARTA BLOCK E. I).
