RITCHIE LOOMS UP
LIKE A CHAMPION
He May Get Chance at Top
N0fcherS if He Beats
Label

With the passing of One Round Jack
Hogan and Antoine la Grave from the
four round ranks Willie Ritchie looms
up as the most likely looking lad in
the short distance lightweight brigade
Up to the present time Ritchie has beer
beating all corners and within the next
few months he should be ready to
blossom out as full fedged aspirant
for higher ring honors.
Ritchie will be sent in against Abe
Label again next Friday evening at
Dreamland rink in the main event OF
the Golden Gate clubs show. The
boys met more than a week ago and
Ritchie was awarded the verdict after
four speedy rounds. IL Ritchie can
score clean victory the next time the
fans will be sitting up and taking no
tice of him.
From the way the four round game
is going now it would appear that sew
eral other likely young performers wiz
be turned out shortly. Among them
are Eddie Dennis. the boy from the
carbarn gymnasium. and Walter Scott.

they have not shown anything like a

slow in saying that they are the fast

Jimmy Melville and George Kirk
wood. another speedy pair OF feathers
will form the third strong link in the
chain of Friday nights contests. Mel
Vile looked like world beater some
few months ago. but he has dropped
from sight in the meantime and Kirk
wood has taken a great deal of play
away from him. If he can come back
his prospects are bright.
The heavy weight attraction will be
furnished by that clean performer

Lodi Brings 500 Fans TO Aid in
Capturing HOnOrS From
Sister City

: STOCKTON. Nov. 26.-The champion
ship Of the Tokay league will be de-
cided at Oak park tomorrow between
Hollis team Of Stockton and the Lodi
nine. Lodi is coming to Stockton 500
strong. All OF the old rivalry that ex-
3sted between Stockton and her neigh
( boring city. during the early days OF the
stsce league has been revived and to-
snorrow.s game promises TO be one OF
the most enthusia site in many years
Joe Frfedberger Of Lodi has received a
shipment OF 200 megaphones from san
= Francisco for his delegation Of roOters.
The -Tokay league pennant race has
been close from the very beginning.
The teams in the league are Holt, Po-
homo Braves, TUly & Byrnes and Ath-
Ietfcs Of Stockton, Gait and Lodi.
Lodi and Gait have been neck and
neck for the past several weeks. The
final game was played last Sunday,
when Lodi defeated Calf at the Tokay
- center. A protest was filed by Gait,
but President Davis Of the league has
handed down q decision denying It
thereby putting the Sacramento county
team out Of the running for the pen
nant.
Holt was at the bottom Of the column
some weeks ago, but began to climb up
as soon as Pitcher Press Martin Joined
their ranks. Martin has all the speed
Of Ben Henderson and an equal assort-
nent Of curves. He is destined to join
fast company next season. In fact, the
main difficulty has been in securing a
backstOp who could hold him. He has
been responsible TO a great extent for
placing Holt on top OF the list.
Marcus Nelson, who plays first base
for Holt, is the heaviest hitter in the
league and was tried out by Long with
the Seals during the spring.
Oak park viii undoubtedly be jammed
tomorrow afternoon, when the final
struggle takes place. The teams will

Recent experiments made at Braemar
with ski for the use of postmen when
the country is showed up have proved SO
successful that the post office officials in
various other districts in the Highlands
including Speyside and Donside. are to
be similarly equipped. Frequently during
the winter the conditions in the remote
Highlands are quite arctic. the country
being impossible to ordinary traffic 1t
has been found that the use of ski en-
ables the postmen to cover their journeys
even when the snow is soft and badly
