H ARRY RAKER, the clever lit-I
tie featherweight boxer. Is thej>
tnan who really gave ine my
start in the ring in San Francisco,
and it was against my will at that.
I used to pal around with Raker and
Frankie Edwards and I began to take
a sort of fancy to boxing because 1
heard them talk so much about It.
Now and then l would put on the
gloves with Raker, and of course he
used to slam me umund. for I knew
practically nothing about how to han
dle the mitts.
Baker kept after me all the time
and tried to tell me that there was a
good chance for me to break into the
four-round game 1 thought that he
was trying to jolly me along, so l
did not pay much attention to what
he said. ?
Well, I remember one night in No
vember. 1907, we were out at Dream
land, In San Francisco, ami the pro
moter was shy of talent. He was
stuck to get a boy to go on in one
of the curtain raisers Raker, who
was out at the fights with me, grab
bed me by the arm and began to talk
business to me in a hurry.
"Here's your chance. Geary." he
said. "They w ant a kid to fill in and
it's up to you. If you win you may
make a big hit for yourself. Anti if
you lose, well, what's the difference?
You can take a chance anyhow "
Rut i was not strong for that. 1
told Raker that I would have stage
fright, atid if 1 did lose all the gang
would kid me and l would not hear
the last of it for goodness only knows
how long.
Consents to Take a Chance.
"Welk we can tlx that easily
enough#** cut in Raker. "We will
*end you in under a phoney name.
Nobody will know you Come on
now and take u chance l know that
you can beat this kid. for 1 have been
boxing with you."
Anyhow', to make a long story short.
1 finally fell for Raker's advice He
rushed me into the dressing room, dug
up a sj?t <»f trunks and a pair of shoes
forme, and then sw hen nobody was
looking, he took me aside and gave
me a few pointers, which I never
will forget as long as 1 live.
Harry gave me final instructions as
to how I was to jab with my left and
cross with my right*every time that
I got a charter. I just nodded, for 1
must admit that I was very much!
up in -the air when he was talking
to me.
The finally got me read> and walk
ed ine up to the ring It was one
of the first bouts, the card was late
and the gallery was crabbing I can
still hear them yelling "Bring on
those stiff*' Give us a tight' What
did we pay our dough for? Got busy
there, v ou fellows!"
Raker and Frankie Edwards, my
seconds, just led me into the ring.
Then I learned that the boy 1 was to
tight was a 1 Of.-pounder named Monk
Enoch. 1 only weighed 90 pounds.
Ritchie’s Second Chapter
-!-•+
He Gets His Nickname
Only a few of the most intimate friends of the lightweight cham
pion know how he got the nickname of Willie Ritchie. It was not
until he became famous did the world at large even suspect that the
great little champion was fighting under an assumed name. To-day
he tells how the “Willie Ritchie" was tacked on to him in a San
Francisco ring Just six years ago. when he broke in and won his first
fight by a knockout in the second round. The title holder tells of
the incidents which led up to his start and of his fear the first time he s
appeared before a big crowd.

but tli isdid not make any difference
to me. Enoch might have weighed a
ton I really was scared to death. I
guess I would have jumped out of
that ring only Raker and Edwards
were there They kept patting me on
the back and telling me that Enoch
would be easy for me.
How Ho Got His Name.
The announcer came over to me
and asked me what ynv name was I
hesitated a minute and then told him
that my name was Willie Richard
son. This was the first one that
came to me, so l handed It to him.
I’ll have to get a little ahead of my
story here and leave Enoch in the
ripg to explain how I got tiie name
of Ritchie. The next time I fought
the announcer made a mistake and,
called me Willie Richards. And the
next one dubbed me Willie Ritchie.
1 thought that the third one was
lucky enough, so 1 have been fight
ing under it ever since.
1 don’t remember hearing the bell
ring it all In fact, I was in a sort
of trance in the first round, just stall
ing around and protecting myself
Enoch came rushing at me and l
stuck out my left and danced around.
1 began to heed the warning that
Raker gave me Enoch called me all
kinds of names, for he kew that l
was only a green kid and he had had
some experience as » four rounder.
He told me that he was going to
knock niy block oft' and several other
things, but I just kept clodding away.
My left did serious damage to
Enoch and I began to get 'confidence
near the end of the round. When 1
came back to thy corner. Baker aiv
Edwards cheered me up. and gave
me my instructions for the next
round.
"Keep on with that let? and bring
over a light when you get t chance."
said Edwards. "He's easy for you.
Take a chance and knock him out
Wins by a Knockout.
Well, my opponent was not so ilip-
pant in the second round, and I had
a whole lot of confidence. Every
time lie came at me. I stabbed him
in the face with my left. Finally. I10
hot tired of coming, so I made up my
mind to go right after him. This was
one of the best things I ever did, for
it won me my firat battle and gave
me my start in the ring.
Enoch was tired and I felt p/etty
good. I waded in after him. acting
npon*the advice of my seconds. After
whipping in a few lefts to the jaw I
finally connected with a right cross
to the point and down went Enoch
in a heap. He just laid there while*
the referee counted off 10. 1 was
dancing around, waiting for him to
got up. for $ felt happy then.
1 need not tell you that 1 was the
proudest kid in the world after the
scrap Baker and Edwards took me
to my dressing room and fixed me
up. 1 was practically unmarked and
1 did not feel a bit tired.
Then 1 walked out to the box of
fice. led by Edwards, and received
j the large sum of $7.50 for my
' services. This looked like a regular
j bankroll to me. I wanted to split it
; up with my seconds, but they only
laughed and told me to keep the
money and buy a fighting* outfit
with it.
From that moment on. I decided
that 1 would he a fighter. The vic
tory was so easy for me that 1 just
longed for another chance. I start
ed in to train every evening after fin
ishing up my work, and both Baker
and Edwards took hold of me and
helped me along till 1 got my next
match. *

Local Team to Meet Bessemer
Five in Opening Game of
Season Saturday Night.
T
HE Atlanta Athletic Flub will
open its basket ball season Sat
urday night against the Besse
mer Athletic Flub five from Besse
mer, Ala. Past encounters between
these teams have been hummers, and
close scores have been the result.
The Atlanta boys have managed to
defeat the Bessemerltes in the last
two games. The score last lear was
32 to 13. The Bessemer team has
one of ihe best quintets in its his
tory. The squad is composed of Ber-
ney S. tilay (captain), IXmaldson and
Bailey, forwards; Houston, center;
I. Clay, Edmondson and Filmore.
guards. B. $. Clay and Donaldson
were seer in. action here last year,
and gave a good account of them
selves.
The Atlanta boy's have been prac
ticing faithfully for the past six
weeks, and are in the pink of condi
tion. Coach Betm is fortunate in hav
ing practically' the same players of
last year’s team to pick from. The
boy's aiv working hard for a place on
the team, and the five that make
good will certainly have to show much
class.
Joe Bean has arranged for a num- j
ber of good games with teams of |
note in athletic clubs, Y. M. C. A.’s
and college teams of the S. I. A. A. '

ADVICE TO AMERICAN YOUTH.
Be courteous cud humble when your
ciders ore about,
Be meek and uncomplaining though
they floor you uith a clout;
And if they tell you: "Jump through
this/" you never should object,
But willingly obey them with a show
of deep respect;
And if you let. them jump on you
and beat you block and blur
Some day you trill he fit tp manage
dairy Herrmann's crew.
A Cincinnati manager is something
like a Cincinnati bit—only more so.
The report that Joe Rivers wants
another fight with Willie Ritchie in
dicates that the glorious climate of
Southern California has thawed his
pedal extremities.
One thing we like about football is
that the teams do not go out 'on
barnstorming trips after the schedule
is over.
Jack Johnson finally has become a
wrestler, but we always expected 1
thal lie would come to a bad end
While Johnson is a promising
wrestler, he is handicapped by the
rule which forbids him to wear brass
knuckles.
A football team in Indian captured
a maniac and handed him over to
the constable, and yet they let the
cheer leaders carry on unmolested.
Roger Bresnahan has been men
tioned as the next manager of the
Reds, but it doesn’t bother Roger any.
He has managed a team in St. Louis.
When we reflect on the recent work
of Jimmy Clabby we are forced to
admit that Eddie McGoorty is one of
our cleverest boxers. He has gone to
Australia.
THOSE RED MANAGERS.
They walk right in and turn around
and walk right out again.
Thcg scarcely hare a chance to gel
acquainted with their men.
They sign a contract in the Fall and
wait till Spring—and then
They walk right in and turn around
and walk right out again.
Wisconsin light promoters claim
they are losing money .and yet they
are knifing each other to get the
matches, leaving 11s to guess whether
they belong in the Ananias or the
Muttonhead dub.
Various conference coaches send
Alonzo Stagg their best wishes as he
starts South on his vacation. Some
of them even hope that he will rest
for the next three years.
If the Japanese army can’t fight

Auburn Champions

MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec. 2.—It became
known to-day that the management of
the Auburn champions is dickering with
sevral of the leading football elevens

Association for a game to hr played

able that an engagement will be ai
ranged between Donahue’s Dandies and
Louisiana State. These two teams met
at Mobile this year, but the game prove*,
a frost from a financial standpoint,
hence the plan to shift the scene of ihe
strife here.
