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.

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 m\i one dubbed me Willie Ritchie. ■ thought that the third one was iuek> enough, so I have been fight ing under it ever since.

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. ^ Food for Sport Fans t|i|P9iil]pilU!iiitiiiinii!iuiiil Tg66T I | TH/UK ITS BU5TEX> j IT SUPPED ftl 6-HT i QUT OF AAV KAWO — | HA- H A- I'll 5l/V Jj oTvvers. ruir ( LIKE -t TofWOU ■ .iM W OP WATS AURI MR *v\ U Lvr tv — CAU Glue it TDG-eTv*r&_ aoaim- I bO*JT TH Ifjg TV4AJ“~ TACTHrE!*- v^j IUL.

A Cincinnati manager is something like a Cincinnati hit—only more so. The report that Joe Rivers wants another fight with Willie Ritchie in dicates that the glorious climate of Southern California ha 8 thawed hi* 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 ai ways expected that he would come to a bad end. While Johnson is a promising xVrestler, he Is handicapped by the rule which forbids him to wear brass knuckles. A football te«m in Indian captured a maniac and handed him over to the constable, and yet they let the cheer leaders c»rry on unmolested. Roger Bre»nahan 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 Cl®bby 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. They scarcely have a chance to get acquainted with their men. They sign a am tract i ti the Fall and wait till Spring—and then They walk right in and turn around and walk right out again. Wisconsin fight promoters claim they are losing money and yet they are knifing each other to get the matches, leaving us to guess whether they belong in the Ananias or the Muttonhead Club. 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 veurs.
