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.
