By W. W. Xauglitun. S AX FftA'XCISCO, Dec. Hi.—There will be great doings at Cof froth’s Eighth street arena to- I'ght. Before the evening is over Wjlillie' Ritchie will kavt? defercr-d his ■ Kami>ionship citadel successfully or v'irghgve been called upon to turn the (fV& of the lightweight castle over to TYonmy Murphy, of Harlem. According to the betting late last •J:. ft. Rityhje’s ba- ers did not ^irj a- glimmer of a chance of any- t ng going amiss. They Were offer ing 10 to A and were somewhat dis- uiUTntled because there was such a .a ant show of money on the short To stimulate investment the cham pion's supporters offered even money tjhat Murphy would not last eighteen rounds. The stake for which Murphy and Manager Buckley are playing is such ; high one that if they capture the lightweight title with all its enrich ing qualities they are not likely to be hist. down over the reflection that they neglected to make an additional !ean-up on the betting. 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 \\olgust about two years ago. Ritchie uoios li victory over Joe Rivers, whom ■ N stopped last July 4. and recently 'oat-tied Leach Cross a ten-round n<>- iWision scrap in New York. In both tights Willie showed that lie is made of championship stuff, which has • fused fans to back him so heavily jainst Murphy.

They point to the record of .such leaders as ‘ outlie Mack and John McOraw to uphold their contentions. -No dub owner would change managers If he had such a mana ger as McrGr.uv or Mack on his Pa;, roll. There may be other managers just as good, but none is had the success «»f these two ■lehratc i leaders of big league u jins, except possibly Fred i ’I irk of Pittsburg.

Ray Bronson, now on his way to Australia, uses one that is a peach and seldom fads to get on the nerves of an opponent, especially if that op ponent is a bit inexperienced, i Tun ing to the center of the ring for in structions. Ray hums the latest pop ular melody and hums it in such a way that he never fails lo attract u lot of attention from his opponent. It's h good trick nnd more than one of his foes have gone straight up in the air over it. By Ed \V. Smith. (Famous Fight Referee.) D ID you ever hear how an apple, munched calmly by an oppo nent’s second, hypnotized a lighter into a defeat? It’s a little thing, this apple and the story of it, but it goes to show that small things can turn the tide in a glove battle just as it frequently does in weight ier and more Important affairs.

Yet Murphy will not give Evers authority to make trades fo players. Murphy has to be con sulted even before negotiations can begin, and it is .Murphy who conducts tlm negotiations, nor Evers.
