Wolgast cut loose at inter vals, smashing at body and face, but Ritchlr guarded -himself fairly well.

Wolgast twitted Ritehie-on his bleding n*-e, asking whv he blocked it witli ills glove. Ritchie said nothing, but put In two straight lefts to the lace. Wolgast seemed to be stronger of the two at this stage. He forced the lighting and punishe I Ritchie witli body blows. Ritelile kept swinging, but did not seem to have much steam behind his punches. Ritelile landed on tile jaw with right and the blows did not seem to tilt Wolgast’s head. Round Eight—Wolgast covered and pressed in. but they broke without landing.

Round Nine—Ritchie stopped a rush with the left, but at the second attempt W olgast closed in and rapped Ritchie’s stomach witli both gloves. Wolgast was not to be denied. He followed Ritchie around, keeping covered, until he got within hitting distance.

They had one tierce rally In midring. the fierceness living prin cipally on Wolga-t's side He smashed both hands to the body time ami again his seconds emitting yells of satisfac tion as he did so.

Wolgast had much the better of tlie round. Round Ten—Wolgast. as usual, made a close fight of it, poking at the bodv with both gloves as they were breast to breast. Ritchie relied on a rigtit uppercut While fighting at close ranee HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 29, 1912. Wolgast varied his attacks by swinging a left , against the face. Ritchie gave ’ Wofgast a taste of his own medicine at one stage, sending both gloves Into the mid-ribs. One mix-up followed an other, although Wolgast went wild. Toward the close of the round Ritchie’s uppercut stood him in need. It found Wolgast’s face and tlie crowd cheered the San Francisco man. Ritchie was smashing at Wolgast’s face with botli hands at the bell. Round Eleven—Wolgast was quickly Into a mix-up at the close range, using short arm pokes on the stomach, while Ritchie tried to find openings for right upper cuts. Wolgast fought back at the body and Wolgast was hooted for raising liis knee in a suspicious manner. Ritchie was boxing well at this stage, landing surely with both hands from long range, and holding Wolgast at bay. Wolgast rushed in, swinging both gloves, but Ritelile avoided him. Ritchie seemed to be getting the upper hand. He certainly landed three blows to every one of Wolgast’s. and one of Wolgast’s legs dragged as though he was in distress. In the last half min ute of the round the scoring was all on Ritchie’s side and tlie crowd was very much excited. Round Twelve—Ritchie met Wolgast with a straight' I£ft between the eves ami freed himself easily when Wolgast tried to clinch. Ritchie used another straight left and Wolgast swung right on the temple, but it was not a hard punch. Ritchie’s left brought blood from Wolgast’s lips. Ritehied ducked Wolgast’s left and nailed Wolgast with a right ehop on the chin. They closed in ami exchanged body blows. ' Ritchie seemed to be-regainlng ills hitting force. He paid particular attention to Wol gast’s body, then Wolgast swung a damaging left against Ritchie’s face. From the look on Ritchie’s face as he sat down he was slightly distressed. Round Thirteen—They closed in and \\ olgast tried to find a resting place for his right, but Ritchie baffled him and used a couple of straight lefts with effect after pushing Wolgast away. Wolgast pressed in with his head cov ered ami swung wildly for the head. Ritchie easily avoiding the attack, and held Wolgast safe in the clinches. The round was not as fast as some of the previous ones. Wolgast seemed to be figuring on settling on one terrific punch, while Ritchie, under instructions from his corner, took things coolly and contented himself with an occasional punch. Ritchie sent Wolgast to the ropes with a glancing right hander. It was a scuffling fight during tlie last half of the round with very little ex ecution done. Round Fourteen—They closed in and exchanged body punches with both men equally willing. When they broke Ritchie poked Wolgast’s face with a right uppercut. The fight had a set tled look, each man being plainly on the lookout for an advantageous open ing. Wolgast forced Ritchie to the ropes, getting to tlie face with lefts ami right. As they scuffled to mid ring Ritelile drummed witli a free right on Wolgast’s back. They were punch ing on a give and take basis, each man getting an equal amount of punishment. Ritchie occasionally' used ids uppercut in such away as to drive Wolgast’s guard arm against Wolgast’s face. Round Fifteen—Wolgast tore after Ritchie. Ritchie held him at bav for a while with straight lefts, but he final ly lashed out at close quarters. Ritchie worked both hands against the stom ach and Wolgast paid him back in kind. Wolgast occasionally jumped and swung for the head, but Ritchie ducked safely. When Wolgast wanted to tlilnk it over lie stood and crouched with his head wrapped up and contin ued to peek at his guard. Wolgast loosened sudd.'niy, using both hands.

They have in three days made one of the most thorough canvasses that the town ever saw—and it has had some pretty thorough ones lately. 800 Persons Give SB,OOO. They have personally seen and got subscriptions from nearly 800 persons, amounting to more than SB,OOO. This means that the people who are able to give only small amounts have “cqme across.’’ Now the Ad Men are going after the persons of ample means who can af ford to give big sums if they will, while for the balance they will depend largely on voluntary subscriptions. Where to Send Money. “Our campaign has been so well ad vertised that everybody knows about it,” says Chairman Adams of the gen eral committee. “If we could see enough persons we would get all we want, and more, too, but it is impossi ble to cover that much ground. “So we appeal to those who have made up their minds to help us, when we come around, not to wait, for we may not get to them, but to send their subscriptions to the Associated Chari ties office, toi> floor of the Gould build ing. where our campaign headquarters will be until the campaign closes." Owing to the extremely bad weather of Wednesday afternoon, the Ad Men did not close their campaign Wednes day night, as planned, but will keep it up, at least, until the end of the week and in the -enerai work held the cham. pion safely. At one stage Ritchie did all the scoring and the crowd became excited again. Round Sixteen—They' closed and Wolgast complained that Ritchie held. Ritchie caught him with a right on the jaw. dropping Wolgast to tlie floor. Wolgast rose and reelde around. Ritchie crowded him to the ropes and tried twice to put in a finishing blow. Wolgast rolled his head around and es caped Ritchie’s swings. They fought across the ring. Wo’-<>st pinned Ritchie against the ropes, cutting in body blows. Ritchie seemed to be rattled. He changed off to uppercuts, but could not reach Wolgast effectively. Wolgast staggered, but his condition Improved He lurched after Ritchie and struck the San Franciscan a palpably foul bodv blow with his left glove. Ritchie sank to his knees with an expression of pain oil his face. He then arose again, but was distressed and unable to continue Without an instant’s hesitation Referee Griffin pushed Wolgast away and held Ritchie’s right glove aloft as an indica tion that the San Franciscan had won WRIGHT BLAMES JOE HRB FOR LIOUOH HOUSES Famous Prohibition Leader Says Governor Is Responsible For Violations in Savannah. ROME, GA., Nov. 28. —Aroused by the publication of shameless violations of the state prohibition laws in Georgia, as set forth in The Atlanta Georgian of Monday' last. Seaborn Wright, the great "dry" leader of Ploy'd county, the man who put the state-wide law on the stat ute books, expressed himself vigorously today as to the cause of the Savannah situation, and outlining at least one method of procedure whereby It may be abated. Mr. Wright says that the John Sulli van. Jr., Company', of Savannah, which concern has been circularizing Georgia, through the United States mail, solic iting mail orders for whisky to be ship ped out of Savannah broadcast through out the state, is but doing the same illegal thing that houses in Augusta ainl other cities are doing, all in fla grant and unpardonable violation of the law of the state. The Floyd county prohibition leader severely’ scores Governor Brown for his passive attitude in the matter of law enforcement, so far as prohibition law is concerned, and contrasts it with his activity in enforcing it against railload strikers and negro criminals. Mr. Wright says the solicitors and judges have a weapon with which they may reach the evil sought to be cor rected. and that without waiting for a jury verdict, too often not coming; and he cites his own city of Rome, as an example of how the law surely may' be enforced against violators. Mr. Wright said: “The ‘mail order’ houses of Savan nah are but another forward step by the whisky trust and brewery combine in the open, shameless nullification of the law of a sovereign state. ' "The cause of this forward step by the whisky and beer Interests lies in the fact that the people have elected a governor who says he can not enforce law in Georgia; have elected judges and , solicitor generals who will not enforce law against an arrogant, brutal power in our cities, because their fear of los ing office is stronger than the sanctity of the oath they have taken to uphold the laws of their state. "It is folly to mince words, to deal in mild language. The governor, the judges and solicitors general of our large cities are responsible for the out rageous nullification of a great law they have sworn to enforce. “Some months ago the present gov ernor of New Jersey, a man by the name of Wilson, was notified by the good people of certain cities in his state that the city' officials and local state officers would not enforce the law against the powerful whisky and beer interests of these cities. This govern or did not hesitate or quibble; he noti fied these officials if the state, law not enforced he would see to it that it was enforced. This simple announce ment was enough. Nullification of law In New Jersey stopped. “A few weeks a.go the present gov ernor of Indiana, a man by the name of Marshall, not a whit bigger physically than Georgia’s governor, was notified that the laws of Indiana against race track gambling were not enforced. Also this governor did not hesitate or quib ble. He notified the officials of the county in which this open nullification of law was going on that If it was not stopped he would take a hand. It was not stopped, and he DID take a hand— and the army of the state, of which he was commander, went and stopped it. “Now, Georgia’s governor, who, of course, can use the army of the state to protect railroad property from strik ing workmen or a negro brute from the anger of an outraged people, can not touch the Savannah ‘mall order houses, though the cursed stuff they force upon the unhappy country people of Georgia jeopardizes the safety and honor of thousands of white women in Georgia. "Now a word as to the judges and solicitors general of our big cities. They know the law is being violated, openly trampled on and despised by the liquor interests. Are they helpless to enforce it? Have they no power to enforce law ? “Why do they not perform this oath bound duty? There Is not an intelli gent man in Georgia who does not know why. "And the pity and shame of it is that we must respect—aye, reverence—the judiciary! "Rome is a splendid little city of 15,- 000 people. We have no near-beer sa loons, no clubs, no breweries, no mail order houses. Why? “Our people up here believe it is be cause our Judges think more of the sacred laws they are sworn to enforce than the office they hold, with its emol uments. “The paramount question before the people of Georgia is whether the whis ky trust and brewery combine of the middle West, solely with the purpose of making millions out of the people of the South, through their local ’mail or der houses,’ near-beer saloons and clubs, can go on NULLIFYING OUR LAW.” J.

Snowballing Made Many Young Hearts Light, But Brought Sorrow and Suffering to Others. By EVELYN WREN. Atlanta’s Thanksgiving snow is a smiling teardrop, a merry’ dirge, a com ic tragedy. As I vie Wed Atlanta’s glis tening mantle today I wondered wheth er, the shouts of joy it caused would drown the sighing It brought. I won dered if above the peals of laughter that rang from thousands of merry youngsters playing in its icy drifts, there could not be heard the sobbing from a hundred helpless homes. Nature tried its best to give Atlanta a perfect Thanksgiving day. No great er boon could have been given the thousands of school children for their holiday than the white coverlet it laid over the city the night before. Every turkey' tasted better after hours of snowballing, and coasting, and snow sculpture. Most of Atlanta Smiled. Every young heart beat quicker from the exercise. Every boy’s mind was brighter and every girl’s appetite keen er. What if some youthful snow war rior soaked you behind the ear with his icy missile? What If a band of young savages did roll you around in a snow bank and make you lose your specta cles and dignity? Today' was no day for grouches. All the city should have smiled. And a greater part of Atlanta did. ’ It was mighty pleasant to sit by a roaring ffpe in a comfortable home with nothing to do but whet your palate for the feast to come and gaze out of a frosted window that the Great Artist had designed just for the day. , The sun was shining its brightest for the occasion, and its rays made every snow laden tree a bower of diamonds. It was mighty’ fine to sit in a steam heated club, with a convivial cup at elbow and a smiling waiter near by, ready for the tip which the spirit of the season suggested. Such Odors From Kitchen! It was .mighty pleasant for Atlanta mothers to see their children rush in the house, with cheeks aflame and a laugh in their eyes, to peer into the kitchen, from whicli delicious fumes sent the tidings that the day was really one for thanks. What if they did track up the best hall carpet with their snow caked shoes? What If their embrace did leave an imprint of slush on your best gown? The children were happy. So were you. It was great to walk through the streets and parks with a brisk wind making you feel that life was worth living, and a Heavenly Decorator hav ing worked to make a scene that no master artist lias ever been able to equal. Yob laughed as you walked into an ambuscade of playful snowbailers. You watched with a gripping Interest the snow struggle of two rival neighbor hoods. You wanted to take a hand in the battle yourself. You smiled as you gazed on the snow men and told the sculptors how much better vou did those things when you were a kid. All Were Good Fellows. It was a marvelous day. Every’ man. wrapped comfortably in his great coat, felt like and did slap every acquaint ance on the back. There w’ere never better fellows. Every’ woman, snug and radiant in her new furs, bowed her prettiest to her friends as they passed on their holiday stroll through the whitened streets. But there were homes in Atlanta where the snow was not considered a beautiful thing. There were homes where the snow meant only' that the coal bln must be refilled and there was no money in the house to pay the coal man. Children can not enjoy snow balling when their clothes are thin and worn. Children can not build snow m.en when their fingers are chilled for want of warm, sustaining food. Snow is not beautiful when it Is blown through rudely patched windows. It is not pleasant to stroll through the streets when shoes are old and frayed and the iciness can creep through to the skin. Hard To Be Thankful Then. It’s far from a thing of joy to look through a cracked pane and know that the vista outside is nothing but a threat of pneumonia. A fire can not be cheery' when each lump of coal means only that you can see the bot tom of the box and there le no more fuel to be had. ALLEGED EMBEZZLER CAUGHT. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Nov 28.

ALL DIXIE TO BE REPRESENTED AT CANAL MEET Commerce Chamber Commit tee Meets Tomorrow to Com plete Plans For Conference. An important meeting of the ( in . mittee on arrangements for the p ail! ma canal conference in Atlanta Decen . ber 10 and 11, under the auspices ~f the Chamber of Commerce, will be he in the rooms of tha't body at 10 o’clou, Friday morning. This meeting is to include both the committee of arrangements and the re ception committee, as it is expected to complete the substantial and funda mental details for the conference. The committee of arrangements is composed of St. Elmo Massengale, chairman; C. Frank C. Ow ens, S. C. Dobbs, W. H. Leahy, 11. f; Chamberlain. H. W. Miller and C A. Wickersham. The reception commit tee, which will act in conjunction with the committee of arrangements, | s composed of 37 of Atlanta’s best known citizens. The nature of the meeting is such that a full attendance t« desired and urged. Many Cities Respond. Many encouraging responses to tele grams sent to Southern trade bodies have been received, and the indications are that practically every important city from the Potomac to the Ric Grande will be represented by dele gates who are coming here strictly for business. Invitations have been extended to the diplomatic representatives-in Washing ton of the Central and South Amerlcar. republics, to attend this conference and participate in its deliberations and Georgia’s senators have been requested to lay before them Rs Importance and to urge their attendance. There will be no addresses of wel come and responses at this conference, unnecessarily consuming time; in fact the "hot air" element has been entirely eliminated, and following the keynote address which will be delivered by John Barrett, director of the bureau of South American republics, the conference will get at once to its business—that of de vising ways and means for promoting Southern trade with South and Cen tral American and other foreign coun tries, following the opening of the Pan ama canal. Steamship Line Heads to Attend, The conference will include fifteen oi twenty leading railroad and steamship presidents, representatives of 40 boards of trade and chambers of commerce and a number of the largest manufacturers in the South who are looking forward to the extension of the South’s expori trade. “It is peculiarly Atting that Atlants should have the honor of calling ths first Panama canal conference,’’ said Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of the Chamber of Commerce. “Besides be ing the leading city of the Southeast, it is an inland city, and here the repre sentatives of the ports may meet on neutral ground. “Southern manufacturers are only just now beginning toTealize that home competition will soon oversupply home consumption, and there will .be. a need for foreign markets to take our surplus products. Some industries have already reached that point. The South has more coast line and more good harbors in proportion to its area than any other section, and back of these it has the resources upon which to build world commerce.” „ . Homer Wllfcon.
