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.

There- will bo thrco four round pre

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.

Fats wero nlno runs behind and at a

FOR BIG BATTLE

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.
