Mr Bulkeley, the first president,

; j: was not until after the Na-

out. This was in 1902.
\ successor to Mr. Young was not

now secretary-treasurer of the or-

Air. Heydler, like every other man
who Uas held the position or been the
custodian of the office, could not sat-

Champ Later Wins Over Britton
This is the seventh of the series of the life and battles of Light\ccigth
Champion Willie Ritchie, written exclusively for The Georgian.
\
such a bad fight with McCarthy. ]
tore t ight after Murphy and won he
decision easily. I had everything that
night, and I set myself right with the
fans again.
Britton an Easy Mark.
Next came Jack Britton. He ha 1
just arrived, bringing with him that
great Eastern reputation. True, he
had not done very well among the
four-rounders, but the fans wers
claiming that he had not got used to
our climate. All he wanted was a
crack at me. He. promised to wipe
up the ring with me and send ma
back to work in jigtime. And 1 gave
him the chance.
We drew a big house, and. if I re
member right. Britton was. a strung
favorite over me. But that was all.
1 had his number in afce first round,
and I really believe that if I had cut
loose in the third I would have laid
Jack out and practically ended nis
ring career 4 . If ever I had, a man
where I wanted him, it was Britton.
Maybe he will admit it and maybe he
will not.
He outweighed me and he was sup.
posed to have science enough to make
me look like a busher. But T just
stood up and took a chance. In the
last two rounds I measured him
right. They celled for me to go In
and take a chance, but T preferred
to play the game safe. I remember
that I had him staggering around the
ring in the last round, for he was
helpless.
This was a great boost for me. und
I realized it. In fact, it started me
on a new career. I made up my mind
then and there to keep on taking
chances and quit playing a safe game.
I began to believe that I had a knock-
out wallop, and \ came to the conclu
sion that the sooner I tried it out the
faster I would e’o to the front if they
gave me a chance.
By Willie Ritchie
S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., Dec. 17 —
The fans of San Francisco did
not seem to think much of me
after the Baldwin fight. Many of
ti.em accused me of having cold fe'h,
and they went around town saying
that I never could make good as ii
twenty-rounder. I don’t blame them
now, for 1 realize that I s. ould have
done better against the Boston boy.
In fact, I really should have knockt.fi
him out.
But my friends down Uoalinga way
still w'ere boosters for me. Right aft
er the Baldwin scrap t ey wired me
to come back to th-> oil fields and
take a chance against Tommy Mc
Farland in a twenty-round mix-up.
McFarland was roing good then. T-Io
had returned from the East a few
months before with the honor of stay
ing ten . rounds with Champion 'Vol
ga 91
The Uoalinga promoters made mo
a' pretty good offer, and I decided to
take it. I felt that I must show
something in the way of a knock
out punch if I hoped to stay w r ith the
fighting game. 1 realized that Tom
my was a tough nut. but 1 was in
good shape after my battle with the
Bostonian, and I figured that I had a
chance to do something with my hay
maker.
I was the favorite with the fans
down in Uoalinga because they knew
me. But many of the sports in Ban
Francisco made McFarland a favor
ite over me. I heard this later on.
However. I was desperate. I made
up my mind to take a chance for a
knock-out, and 1 never worked so
hard In all m.v life as I did for that
| battle, because so much depended
; upon it.
Knocks Tom McFarland Out.
I T stepped into thgt ring feeling like
la 2-year-old. So did McFarland. In
fact, we both looked good, lie star: j
ed right after me and rushed me'hard. »
He landed a few stiff ones on my
stomach in the opening round, and
T will admit that he shook m* tip. As
all the local fans know, Tommy is a
fine infighter, and it is hard to get at
him.
It was nip and tucl: in the sec
ond. and again in the third. He wai
strong and aggressive, and I had 10
keep stepping pretty lively, and he
made me use everything in order to
keep out of his way. The short-end
bettors were boosting him along, and
at the end of the second round he
was holding me even, all right, and ho
may have had a lead.
The third round found me slugging
with him and taking all sorts of
chances. We just stood toe to toe,
and went at It. I had a shade because
I guess that my condition had some
thing to do with it.
The finish came in the fourth. It
was then that I decided to take a
chance and end it. if possible. I feint
ed Tommy with a couple of lefts and
waited for a chance with my right.
He finally left an opening, and I shot
over across to *he jaw. That settled
It. Tommy took he count.
Naturally. T felt great after that
battle. I showed a knock-out wn,-
lop. and I was eager to get back to
San FranUseo. sign up for sume • on^ .ranua^y* 1 at the °ag* of 82 years.

But Brooklyn offers me
10,000 beans.
Mr. Tinker, however, will not be
compelled to spend the whole season
in Brooklyn. The seven other cities
cn the National League circuit are in
the United States.
Yagotta hand it to Mr. Murphy for
his gallant effort to land Joe Tinker.
He was willing to spend anything but
money.
Mr. Murphy was runner-up in tho
Tinker deal, thereby getting half the
publicity without investing any capi
tal.
Jess Willard deserves great credit
for his overwhelming victory over
One-Round Davis. He outweighed his
man by a bare 50 pounds.
Consider what a scant margin is 50
pounds in a prize fight. Gunboat
Smith does not outweigh Johnny
Coulon by much more than that.
In spite of his defeat, it must be
admitted that One-Round Davis more
than lived up to his name He lasted
a round and. a half.
Fortune is a finicky old dame. For
instance. Art Butler was married on
the same day he was sentenced to
play with the Cardinals.
