BOTH RITCHIE AND RIVERS ARE IN FINE SHAPE SAN FRANCISCO, Co!., July !. liright and chipper, claiming to bo as strong aa a bull und full of the fighting spirit, Willie Kitehio was astir early nt his camp in Snn Rafael this morning, preparing for his twenty-round bnltle here this after noon with Joe Kivers for tho light weight championship of tho world, which will bo staged in Coffroth's Kighth street arena about 2 p. m. The first thini; Kitchie did upon nriMiij; was to step on tho scales, lie weighed exactly 133 pound. After breakfast, Kitchie, accompanied by Trainer Harry Foley took tho 8 JO train for Sail Francisco. Upon his arrival hero visited a number of friends mid then went to Foley's home, where he will remain until ha is railed to file areun to weigh iu. Kitchie and Foley ridiculed tlio idea that the presence of Spider Kelly and Tim McGrath in Kivers corner will have any effect on tho champion's chancer.. They contend thnt tho two great seconds do not know enough about Kivers to be of much assist ance, but admit that if Kivers should bo hurt they could do much to pull him through. Kitchie itisK-ts that ho is goiti; to make a short fight of tt. 'i am going to let it go at the first opportunity," said Willie, "and not do any unnecessary sparring. I was not sure of myself against Wolgust hut I am now, mid while I don't hold Kivers cheaply, I feel suro that I can throw him open long enough .to send over the knockout punch. Rivers can hit and knows tho gnmo thor oughly; therefore it would bo foolish for mo to tako any undue chances, hut my opportunity will eomo nnd it will not be overlooked." Id vers remained abed until 8:30, having slept soundly throughout tho night at tlio Continental Hotel. Ho wa fresh and gay when he nroso, his first remark being: "This is tho day that I become champion of tho world." Ho weighed 133'$ ikuuiiU. A short rest followed breakfiibt, ufter which ho went out for a stroll. ODDS DROP 10 TO 6 UPON CHAMPION RITCHIE SAN FRANCISCO. Cnl., July .
