H 'ARUY HAKKR i lie clever lit - I
tie featherweight boxer, is the j
man who reall.v gave me my j
start in tlie ring in San Krancisco. 1
and it was against my will at that, j
I used to pal around with Baker and.
Frankie Bdwards and I began to take)
.t sort of fan- \ to boxing because I
heard them talk so much about it. j
Now and then I would put on Lhei
gloves with Baker, and of course he j
used to slam me around, for I knew
practically nothing about how to ban- ,
die t h*» mitts.
Baker kept after me all the time I
and tried it* tell me that there was a
good chance for me to break into the
four-round game I tit ought that he !
was trying to jolly me along, so I
did not pay much attention to what
he said
Well. I remember one night in No
vember I HOT. we were out at Dream
land, in San Francisco, and the pro
moter was shy of talent n<* was
stuck to get n boy to go on in one
of the curtain raisers Baker who
was opt at the tights with me. grab
bed me by the arm and began to talk
• ness to me in a hurry.
"Here’s your chance, deary." he
said "They want a kid to till in ami
it’s up to you. If you win you may
make .t big hit for yourself, and if
you lose. well, what's the difference'.’
You can take a chance anyhow."
But I was not strong for that. 1
told Baker that l would have stage
fright, and if I did lose all the gang
would kid me and I would not hear
the last of i for goocfTITss only knows
how long
Consents to Take a Chance.
Well, we can fix that easily
enough,' < ut In Baker “We w li
s'-tul you t inder a phoney name.
Nobody will know you. Come on
1 >w .nid take a chance. I know that
you ran heat tics kid. for I have been
boxing with you."
Anyhow, to make a long story short.
I dually fell for Baker’s advice He
rushed me into the dressing room, ting
up a set of trunks and a pair of shoes
forme, and then when nobody was
looking, he took me aside and gave
mo a few pointers, which 1 never
will forget as long as I live
Harry gave me final instructions as
to how 1 was to jab w ith my left and
cross with my right every time that
1 got a chance I just nodded, for l
must admit that 1 was \*ery much
up in the air when he was talking
to me.

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
appeared before a big crowd.

but th isdid not make any difference
to me. Lvnoch might have weighed a
ton. 1 really was scared to death. I
guess I would have jumped out of
that ring only Baker and Kd wards
were there. They kept palling me on
the back and telling me that Knock
would he easy for me. ,
How He Got His Name.
The announcer came over to me
and asked me what my 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 1 handed it to him.
1*11 have to get a little ahead of my
Rtory here and leave Knoch In t!ip
ring to explain how I got the 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 I have been fight
ing under it ever since
1 don’t remember heating the hell
ring at all. In fact, I was in a sort
of trance in the first round, just stall
ing around and protecting myself
Knoch <ame rushing at me and l
stuck out my left and danced around.
1 began to heed the warning that
Baker gave me. Knoch called me all
kinds of names, for he kew that I
was only a green kid and he had had
some experience as a four rounder.
He told me that he was going to
knock my block off and several other
things, but I just kept "lodding away.
My left did serious damage to
Enoch and l began to get confidence
near the end of the round When 1
came back to my comer. Baker and
Edward? cheered me up. and gave
me\my instructions for the next
round.
"Keep on with that left and bring
over a light when you get a chance."
said Edwards. lies easy for you.
Take a chance and knock him out
Wins by a Knockout.
Well, my opponent was not so flip
pant in the second round, and I had
.* u ole lot of confidence Every
time he came at me. I stabbed him
in the face with my left. Finally, he
got tired of coming, so 1 made up my
mind to go right after him. This was
one of the best things I ever did. for
It won hie my first battle ami gave
me my start in the ring
Enoch was tired and I felt pretty
good. 1 waded irt after him. acting
upon the advice of my seconds. After
whipping ill a few lefts to the jaw 1
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 1 o. I was
dancing around, waiting for him to
get up. for $ felt happy then.
I need not tell you that I was the
proudest kid in the world after the
scrap Baker and Edwards took me
to mv dressing room and fixed me
up. 1 was practically unmarked and
T did not feel a bit tired.
Then 1 walked out to the box of
fice, led by Edwards, and received
the large sum of $7.50 for my
services. This looked like a regular
bankroll to me. I wanted l> >plit i!
up with my seconds, but they only
laughed and iold me to keep the
money and buy a righting outfit
with it.
From that moment on, 1 decided
that 1 would be a fighter 'Hie vic
tory was so easy for me that J just
j longed for another chance. I start
ed in to train every evening after fin

match.
