Rival Lightweight Scheduled to
Battle Over 20-Round Route
in Coffroth’s Arena.
By W. W. Xauglitun.
S AX FftA'XCISCO, Dec. Hi.—There
will be great doings at Cof

Wjlillie' Ritchie will kavt? defercr-d his

tjhat Murphy would not last eighteen
rounds.
The stake for which Murphy and
Manager Buckley are playing is such

lightweight title with all its enrich

they neglected to make an additional

The last word from the trailing
romps was. that both pugilists were in
the very pink of condition and ready
to travel twenty rounds at a cracking
. ace.
This will be Ritchie’s third bout
since lie won tile championship from
