round battle here last night. Whin

former lightweight champion i

Wolgast had all his aggressiveness
and fighting spirit, but the frail, sai-
u9t Jewish battler had the stiffer wal- j
lop and the better of the bout prac- j
.ioally throughout
Prom the first round on Charlie
snowed his skill as a boxer by land
ing nearly every blow started on the
hard head or body of the i adillac
Dutchman.
Wolgast never backed up, never
wavered, but continually bulled and
lorccd his way into White’s territory,
where he was ihe recipient of many
';noks uppercuts and swings. White
showed last night that he can light
when he is forced to ICven in the
fierce mix-ups and vicious exchanges
ne more than held Ills own and seldom
broke ground and hacked up w hen ue j
was against the ropes or forc ed to |
protect himself.
As wise as Wolgasl is in ring tao
lus. Charlie showed him some ‘new
siiiff," for time and again he spun him
headlong through the ropes and dec-
• rly pushed his wild leads to one si |e
and Hi the same time sidestepped out
of danger. ,
The first round wa partly even, but
in the second and third Vhiie took a
hig lead. The foi rth was equally di
vided. but the fifth was Whites.
\dolph had all Ihe belter of the -sixth
and bloodied White's nose and spelt
his lit,a with several wild right and
left swings. Charlie went to his cor
ner at Ihe end of the round a lire,!
and weary tighter.
The seventh was fairly even, wish
•loth tired and willing to rest Til •
-.ghlh, ninth and tenth were Char
m's b\ a good margin, and his lea 1
at ihe finish was enough to entitle
him to the verdict. It was one of the
lust bouts ever staged here.

Reports from Mobile and At»
lanta to the effect that alars
ar« balking at terms and are shot* -
lug signs of refusing to come into the
fold are rausing; no apprehension lo
cally because of fear of contagion.
Andrews and Mct’onnlck anticipated
difficulty in securing the John Han
cocks of the entire local roster as
early as laiff fall and th«T local mag
nates are now so well protected that
no individual man or duo of men
could cause any serious harm.
To date the annual howl of malaria
in the South has not been heard from
prospective I-ookouts, and lAxt one se
rious threat of jumping: to the fed
eral League had been received. This
came from Flick, but neither An
drews or McCormick is perturbed.
The acquisition of Pf.vl placed the
local pilot in the position where he
had two or more men available for
♦ very Infield position and in the out
field he is even as well protected with
Jacobson, Johnson and King, all
available for the two open berths. In
the battery departments there I* ab
solutely no occasion for alarm, as four
catchers. Including Street and Gra
ham, are available, while the Look
outs haye pitchers galore, with the
prospect of securing as many more as
are needed.
Local athletes who become affected
with “holdoutis” are certain to meet
a very disagreeable surprise, as Mc
Cormick is surprisingly firm with re
calcitrants "Moose" is fair almost lo
i fault, but he is not a man that will
allow Ills prerogatives to be en
croached upon in tlu* least. As an
indication of his thought and consid
eration lp* has mailed to each member
of the local squad a suitable Christ
mas gift, these going to men he has
never known personally, but the re
cipients will find "Moose" inexorable

much classification.

S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., Dec. 20.—
Promoter McCarey and I sat ar
guing- over terms while the first
preliminary was being fought. .He
would not give me any satisfaction at
all. He told me that I was a young
ster, that I ought to be glad of a
chance to fight Wells for nothing,
and that he would get somebody else
to lake my place unless I came to
his terms right away. There was no
chance to budge him.
But I determined to stand pat. 1
thought that I was worth $1,000, al
though I realized that 1 was lucky to
get on with one of the greatest light
weights in the world. Still, I was
.iust stubborn enough to hold out, and
T made up my mind that I* would
fight just as hard as McCarey. And,
in the meantime, the firpt preliminary
was over and the fans were hollering
for the next one.
While we sat there arguing, we
were joined by A1 Greenwald, who is
McC'arey’s silent partner. He just
listened and got an earful. I saw
that he was doing a lot of thinking,
but I did not speak to him.
Finally he took McCarey aside, and
then he came back.
“Will you fight Wells for $600?” he
asked.
"Yes,” I said, after a little pause.
"I will take a chance at that price.”
“All right, then," said Greenwald.
“Hurry up and get Teady. The sec
ond preliminary is on. and you will
have to do some tall hustling."
Myself and my brother hurried to
the dressing room and got busy. We
were introduced to Welsh, who look
ed me over and smiled a sarcastic
smile.
Gets a Few Boxing Lessons.
Of course, he figured that he’ was
going to fight some kid w'ho would
not be able to make any sort of a
showing. He may have heard of me
before and ho may not, but if he did
I am sure that he did not think much
of my ability as a fighter. I could
tell this by the way he 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 a>-
"W'illie Ritchie, the coming light
weight of San Francisco,” but I did
not get 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.
I admit that I had it on -Welsh in
the matter of weight. I think that I
tipped tlie beam at about 139 pounds
but I did not weigh before I started!
I don’t know how much Welsh weigh
ed, either, but I believe that he scaled
in the neighborhood of 136, because
be 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
and shooting over a right to my bodv
every now and then, and the'crowd
seemed to enjov it immensely
Knocks Welsh Through Ropes.
I had met many a clever boy in the
four-round game, bui I must confess
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. I thought
that I knew a little about boxing, buj
after the first three or four rounds I
was ready to admit that T had to stan
all over again to learn the game.
But T also discovered that Welsh
did not seem to be able to hurt me.
He landed all kinds of punches on
my head and my body, but T kept
tearing into him all the time. I no
ticed that he began to look a bit wor
ried along about the sixth and sev
enth rounds, and it was then that I
made up my mind to keep right after
him and never stop, because I feil
strong and confident.
After the eighth I whipped in n
few good lefts and also a couple of
right crosses to the jaw'. Welsh would
cover up and hold me in the clinches.
He is a bear at clever infighting. He
would tie my hands up and work me
around the ring and then step away
from me with a laugh. And all the
time the crowd kept laughing at me.
1 must have looked silly.
But there was a different story to
tell in the twelfth. After stalling
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 weak
and I was full of excitement. T con
fess 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 me and boxed me clever
all the time. Instead of trying to
draw him on. I 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 loose
faster than ever. T was not a bit
tired, and I was working for a knock
out. I had him in pretty bad shar'e
a couple of times, but he knew too
much for me and lie stalled me off
Referee Charley Eyton called it
Welsh’s fight, and I guess that Welsh
did have a little shade, but at least
Ha 1 f the fans thought that. I should
have had a draw, anyhow'. I gave
them a good run, and they seemed to
like my work.
John Considine. the Seattle sport
ing man, was there. Tt was the first
time that he ever saw me fight, 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 not
seem to be at all anxious to take an
other chance.
1 beat it right home after this fight,
and 1 felt pretty good. The news wa*
shot all over the country, and l made
up my mind that I would take a fiver
at the Eastern game, which 1 heard
so much about from Packey McFar
land. 4
