Cross Turned Down
By Rivers' Manager
I.OS ANGKLK8. Dec. 2- While Joe
Rivers and Leach Cross have nothing
but kind words for each other after
their grueling battle, the managers of
tne pair are at outs. Ham Wallach
wants a return go for his brother, but
,b»e Levy can not see matters in this
light.
“Why should we box you again?”
said Levy to Wallach.
“\N e have boxed you three times, anil
R ivers won so decisively here that you
can have no complaint. We took Cross
on because Joe was <*ue to re--establish
himself. To do so h* had to heat some
top-notcher. We turned the trick and
now we are after Ritchie and will keep
after him until we get a return match.'
When asked If he would make an of
fer for a Ritchie-Rivers mhtch here,
Promoter McCarey called uttentlou to
the fact that the lightweight champion
is now matched to meet Harlem Tommy |
Murphy in San Francisco, and added
that lie could make no plans for using
Ritchie until this bout had been de
cided.

1 r ARRY BAKER, the clever lit
tle featherweight boxer, is the
man who really gave me my
start in the ring in San Francisco,
and it was against my will at that.
I used to pa 1 around with Baker and
T rankle Edwards and I began to take
a sort of fancy to boxing because I
heard them talk so much about it.
Now and then I would put on the
gloves with Baker, and of course he
used to slum me around, 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 f<»r me to break Into the
four-round game I thought 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, 11*07. we were out at Dream
land, in San Francisco, and the pro
moter was shy of talent. He was
stuck to get a boy to go on in
of the curtain raisers. Baker, who
was out at the tights 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 want a kid to fill in and
it’s up to you. If you win you may
make a big hit f«»r yourself, and if
you lose, well, what’s the difference?
You can take a chance anyhow.”
But I was not strong for that. I
told Baker that I would have stage
fright, and if I did lose all the gang
would kid me and 1 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 you. Come on
now and take a chance. I know' that
you can beat this kid, for I have been
boxing with you.”
Anyhow, to make a long story short,
I finally fell for Baker’s advice. He
rushed me into the dressing room, dug
up a set of trunks and a pair of shoes
? r me. and then when nobody was
looking, he took me aside and gave
me a few pointers, which I never
will forget as long as I live.
Harry gave me final instructions as
to how 1 was to jab with my left and
cross with my right every time that
1 got a chance. I just nodded, for I
must admit that I was very much
up in the air when he was talking
to me.
They finally got me ready and walk
ed mo 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 veiling "Bring on
those stiffs! Give us a fight! What
did we pay our dough for? Get busy
there, you fellows!”
Baker and Frankie Edwards, my
seconds. Just led me into the ring.
Then I learned that the boy I was to
!ij;ht w.t.s a 105-pounder named Monk
Enoch. I only weighed 90 pounds,
’ it ;h4 did not make any difference
to mo. Enoch might have weighed a
ton. 1 r< ally was scared to death. I
guess 1 would have- jumped out of
that ring only Baker and Edwards
wore there They kept patting me on
the back and telling me that Enoch
would be easy for me.
How He Got His Name.
The announcer came over to me
iml asked me what my name was. I
Hesitated a minute and then told him
’ - ; u mv name 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
ting • o explain how I got the name
: Ritchie. The next time 1 fought
'h- announcer made a mistake and
\' 1 1 rds An-i the

I don’t remember hearing the hell
title it all In fact, I was in a sort
Gance in the first round, just snail-
o. • around and protecting myself.
Enoch came rushing at me and I
x out my le f ! .,nd danced around.

Ritchie's Second Chapter
4**+ *£••*!*
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.
said Edwards. "H^’s 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
a whole 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 I made up my
mind to go right after him. This wa.s
one of the best things I ever did, for
it won me my first battle and gave
me my start in the ring.
Enoch was tired and I felt pretty
good. I waded In after him. acting
upon the advice of my seconds. After
whipping ln*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. I was
dancing around, waiting for him to
get up, for I 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 I was practically unmarked and
I did not feel a bit tired.
Then I walked out to the box of
fice. led by Edwards, and received
the large sum <>f $7.r.<» for my
services. This looked like a regular
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 I would be a fighter. The vic
tory was so easy for me that I 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 I got my next
match. ^
