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. HE' QUINTET SUITS Food for Sport Fans 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. * BRADLEY TEAM PICKS LEADER. PEORIA. ILL..

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. ' The schedule calls for games with j the Birmingham Athletic Club, Co lumbus Y. M. C. A.. Athens Y. M. C. J A.. University' of Georgia. Vanderbilt, Auburn. Sew a nee. Mercer, Louisiana State University and others. 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 any better than Young Togo, the Yel low Peril is a delusion and a false alarm. Bert Daniels was hit seventeen rimes last Reason by pitched balls. The fact that he still lives is ample proof that Walter Johnson w’as not pitching. Basket Ball Teams To Clash in Title Game Friday Night Much interest is being shown in the coming game between the Fifth Reg. ment and the Governor's Ilorse Guard teams which will be played on the A - mory courts next Friday night. The championship of the Military League hinges on the result. Both teams lead the circuit, neither team having suf fered a defeat this season. Following is the line-up of the Fifth Regiment team: McGee and Griffin forwards; Hugh Mauck, center; Captain Frankie Pearson and Jarvis, guard- The Governor's Horse Guard’s line-up: Dusty Rhodes and Ed Floyd, forwards “Jake” Govan. center; Captain A. Jones and Johnnie Graves, guards Auburn Champions May Play L.S.U. in Memphis Next Year 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 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association for a game to hr played here in the fall of 1914. Tt is prob 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. “THE VICTOR DR.
