ARRY RAKRK. the clever lit- {
featherweight boxer. I« the (
man who really gave me my
atari in the ring in San Francisco,
and ii was against my wrlll at that. I
I used to p.il around with Raker and |
Frankie Edwards and 1 began to take ]
a sort of fancy to boxing because 1 •
hoard them talk so much about It.
Now and then I would put on the
gloves with Baker, and of course he
used to slam me around, for I knew
practically nothing about how to han
dle the mitts.
Baker kept after me all the time I
and tried to tell me that there was a |
good chance for me to break into the
four-round game. 1 thought that he J
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. 1907. we were out at Dream
land. In San Francisco, and the pro
moter was shy of talent. He was
stuck ti* get a boy to go on in one
of the curtain raisers. Baker, who
was out at the fight* with me, grab
bed me by the arm and began to laik
business to me in a hurry.
“Here’s your chance. Geary.” he
said. They want a kid to Mil In and
it’s up to you. If you win you may
make a big hit for yourself, and if
you lose. well, what's the difference’.’
You can take a chance anyhow
But l was not strong for that 1 ’
told Baker that 1 would have stage
fright, and if 1 did lose all the gang
would kid me and I would not hear
the last of it for goodness only knows
how long.
Consents to Take a Chance.
Well, we can fix that easily
enough." cut in Baker "We will
send you in under a phoney name.
Nobody will know yon. Come on
now and take a chance. 1 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 Baker’s advice. He
rushed me into the dressing room, dug
up set of trunks and a pair of shoes
j forme, and then when nobody was
looking, he took me aside and gave
me a few pointers which I never
j will forget as long as I live
Harry gave nte Anal instructions as
ti* how 1 was to Jab with my left and
j cross with my right every time that
1 got a * banco 1 just nodded, for I
i must admit that 1 was very much
•up in the air when he was talking
j to me.
Tiie tiuall' g.>t me ready and walk
j « <1 me up lo tlie ring. It was one
I of ill** first bouts, the card was late
| and the gallery was crabbing. I can
still hear them yelling "Bring on
j those stiffs! Give us .* light! What
• lid we pay our dough for? Get busy
there, you fellows'"
Baker and Frankie Kdwards, my
J M'TiinI' Just led me into the ring.
Then 1 learned that the boy I was t*»
• L: was • IP,'*-pounder named Monk
Knoch. 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
appeared before a big crowd.
OUINTET STARTS
Food for Sport Fans
but th isdid not make any difference
to me Enoch might have weighed a
ton. I really w a* scared to death. I
guess I would have jumped out of
that ring only Baker and Edwards
were there. They kept patting*me on
the hack and telling me that Enoch
would be 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 nanin was Willie Richard
son. This was the first one that
came to me, so I handed it to him.
I'll have to get a little ahead of my
story here and leave Enoch in the
ring to explain how 1 got the name
of Ritchie. The next time 1 fought
the announcer made a mistake and
called me Willie Richards. And tiie
next one dubbed me Willie Ritchie.
1 thought that the third one was
lucky enough, so l have been fight
ing under it ever since.
1 don’t remember hearing the bell
ring at all. In fact, l was in a sort
of trance in the first round, just call
ing around and protecting myself.
Enoch came rushing at me and I
stuck out my left and danced around.
1 began to heed the warning that
Baker gave me. Enoch called me all
kinds of names, for he kew that I
was only a green kid and lie 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 * Jedding away.
My left did serloirs damage to
Enoch and I began to get confidence
near .the end of the round When 1
came back to my corner. Raker and
Edward? cheered me up. and gave
me my hist ructions for the next
round.
“Keep on with ttaat left and bring
over a right 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
;i whole lof «*f confidence. Every
time he ianio at me. 1 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 1 ever did. for
it won me my first battle and gave
me my start in the ring.
Enoch was tired and 1 felt pretty-
good. 1 waded in after him, acting
upon the advice of my seconds. After
whipping in 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 10. 1 was
dancing around, waiting for him to
get up. for $ felt happy then
1 need not tell you that I was the
proudest kid in the world after the
scrap. Baker and Edwards rook me
to my dressing room and fixed me
up I was pra< tically unmarked and
I 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 tne. I wanted to split if
Up with mv seconds, but they only
laughed and told me to keep the
money and buy a fighting outfit
with it.
From that moment on. 1 decided
that I would be a fighter The vic
tory was so easy for me that I just
longed for another chance. [ start

and Edwards took hold of nte and
