would not give me any satisfaction at

chance to fight Wells for nothing,
and that he would get somebody else
to take my place unless I came to
his terms right away, There was no
chance to budge him.
But T determined to stand pat. I
thought that I was worth $1,000, al
though I realized that I Was lucky to
get on with one of the greatest light
weights in the world. Still. 1 was
just stubborn enough to hold out. and
that I never had been up against
anything like the Britisher. He is a
marvel with his hands. The air was
full of gloves all the time, f though
that I knew a little about boxing, bin

While we gat there arguing, we
were joined by AI Greenwald. who is
McCarcy's silent partner. He just
listened and got «n earful. I saw
that he was doing a lot of thinking,
but I did not speak to him.
Finally he took Mv Carey aside, and
then he came back.
“Will you fight Wells for $600?” he
asked.
"Te?." 1 said, after a little pause.
"1 will take a chance at that price."
' All right, then," said Greenwald.
"Hurry up and get ready . The sec
ond preliminary is on. and you will
have to do some tall hustling.'
Myself and my brother hurried to
th# dressing room and got busy. Wo
were introduced to Welsh, who look
ed me over and smiled a sarcastic
smile
Gets a Few Boxing Lessons.
(>f course, he figured that he was
going to fight some kid who would
not be able to make any sort of a
showing. He may have heard of me
before and lie may not, but if lie did
I am sure that he did not think much
of my ability as a fighter. I could
tell this by the way lie sized me up.
It was just like finding a few easy
dollars for him. At least, he thought
so.
Well, we finally got into the ring.
My brother picked up a couple of
boys who were hanging around to
help second me. 1 was introduced as
"Willie Ritchie the coming light
weight of 8an Francisco,” but T did
not ger much of a hand. Welsh was
sent in as the “lightweight champion
of England, and the crowd hollered
and shouted. I felt pretty lonesome
then, believe me.
f admit that I had it on Welsh in
the matter of weight. I think that I
tipped the beam at about 139 pounds,
but I did not weigh before I started.
I don't know how much Welsh weigh
ed. either, but 1 believe that he scaled
in th# neighborhood of 136. because
lie eased up in his work and did not
dry out when he learned that Wol-
gast was sick and could not fight.
Welsh gave me a few boxing les-,
sons in the early rounds. He kidded*
me along and kept telling me that
he would not knock me out for a
while, because he wanted to give the
fans a run for their money. He kept
jabbing me in the face all the time
rind shooting over a right to my bodv
every now and then, and the crowd
seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Knocks Welsh Through Ropes.
I had met manj a clever bay in t he
four-round game. Ijut 1 jnust. confes*
lie is a bear at clever infighting. H*
would tie my hands up and work me
around the ring and then step awn
from me with a laugh. And all the
time the crowd kept laughing at me.
I must have looked silly.
But there was a different story to
tell in the twelfth. After stallina:
around a bit. Welsh came in and be
gan to mix things up with me. I just
measured his jaw and let loose with
a right-hand cross. Down he went
like a log. He was wabbly and w r eak
and 1 was full of excitement. I con
less that I lost my head, for the
cheers of the crowd rattled me.
Finds Friend in Considine.
"Go on. kid: knock him out!"
"You’re all right. Ritchie; keep after
him!" yelled the fans, and I kept,
jumping around while Welsh was
climbing through the ropes, for my
punch nearly knocked him out of the
ring.
Welsh got up, but he was more
careful after that. He did not try
any more mix-ups. He just stayed
away from m# and boxed me clever
all the time. Instead of trying to
draw him on. T kept tearing, and lie
had my number so far as the boxing
end of it went, and he was outpoint
ing me.
In the last three rounds I cut loo*#
faster than ever. 'I was not a bit
tired, and 1 was working for a knock
out. I had him in pretty bad shape
a couple of times, but he knew too
much for me and he stalled me off.
Referee Gharley Eyton called it
"Welsh's tight, and I guess that Weis
did have a little shade, but at least
half the fans thought that I should
have had a draw, anyhow. T gave
them a good run, and they seemed to
like my work.
John Considine, the Seattle sport
ing man. was there. It was the first,
time that lie ever saw me tight, but
my work made a hit with him and he
came to me later and offered to back
me for $5,000 against Welsh. But this
fell through, because Welsh did no!
seem to be at all anxious to take an
other chance
I beat it right home after this fight,
and 1 felt pretty good. The news was
shot all over the country , and I made
up my mind that 1 would take a flyer
at the Eastern game, which 1 hear!
so much about from Packey McFar

Tiie Far
Club Members Have Never Seen
Him Play, and He Even Re
fuses Them Lessons.
liy ••Chirk” Evans.
I ^NCK played golf in a town of
<v,bout 10,000 people. The golf
dub had a most ehthusiastic
membership, more or less unfamiliat-
w ih the game, and it had everything
, ar.es with a links—even includ
ing a professional. This professional
, ,| )P topic of my story to-day. I have
seer i ,ind known intimately many golf
professionals in my lifetime, but this
' n p was the queerest of them all.
TYMon I was first told that the club
j, lf) H professional I thought what a
ti„r thing il was, for beginners al-
v , - need help and a new' club can
noi always afford to employ expert
instance. In the course of conver
se on. however, I began to hear
„ tnse stories about him and si-
entlv I acquired a curious interest in
• n For instant*, one of the ment-
)•-•■< said: "Tom said that he made
a 38 the other day, but I don’t be-
lieve him.”
Refuses Lesson to Members.
I: seemed very strange to me that
1 . members of a "pro's” own club
,\ re unacquainted with his game.
Then I heard someone else say that
Mr c could not get a lesson because
Torn did not want to give it. A
strange situation, indeed. T thought.
Near t he clubhouse was a comfort-
riiile cottage, which 1 w : as told was
built for ihe professional, but, it was
further added, he refused to sleep
there because it was too lonelT- All
,,f these statements aroused a great
curiosity and I looked around with
some eagerness hoping to see this
extraordinary professional. He was
not in sight, however, and his ab
sence on one of the busiest golfing
days of the season added piquancy to
ihp situation.
I was coming up the ninth hole bf
this: nine-hole course, first time
around, when I saw some one go to
the flag for my second shot. The
action seemed familiar and I recalled
that in Great Britain this was done
in championships. I w r as just won-
ripring what experienced golfer was
doing this when behold! it was our
friend the professional. Fie wore cap
’ i><u-kors— the typical golf
dress of the old country, and he look
ed like hundreds of fellow's that one
sees un links in England and Scot
land. My! hut he was British. He
walked down the first hole with me.
telling me first of all that he had
made 35 and 36 on the course and
never took over 37. He told me that
up had beaten some of the best play
ers in England. It seemed strange
hat a player of his remarkable abil-
iv was hiding his light in a small
dub.
’’Chick'g” Challenge Rejected.
By this time my curiosity was
whetted to see him play, so 1 asked
'ome of the members to arrange a
game. They said they would try, but
they did not think he would play. 1
nad never heard of a professional re-
f i'ing that sort of a request from
club members.
Tom was sent for, however, and
(ftor a long time he appeared at the
locker room door and the question
was put to him. With indescribable
■motion he refused. I told him I
would give him 2 up on each nine
>nd let him name his reward if he
beat me. A member offered to get
■ l» a purse of $500 to be his if he
made a 35 that afternoon, but he
wouldn’t play, risk his reputation, or
waste his time with an amateur, he
'aid, and ran away. Truly a unique
ase.
Some of the members tell me that
really plays some remarkable shots
md knows the game, but that be-
ond these shots none of the mem
bers had seen him play practically all
summer. Jt seems that a member of
'be club noted for his benevolence
found Tom in groat trouble and he
iad brought him to the town and
'he club and continued to do every
thing possible for him, but an air of
■doofness had characterized this
Grange professional from the begin
ning.
