QUITE RIGHT

Dear Tribune-Heaven is the
only place for people who can't en-
dure the noise of boys, the growing
of chickens, the rumble OF the early
milk wagon. the toot toot Of the
early train, the mooing of the COW.
the street car rattle, the innocent
bark of house dog, or the whinny
of loved horse, all OF which seem
to make part of the town OF Gree
ley. And cats will catch robins
and barn swallows regardless of
the owners displeasure.

IL ever a battle demonstrated the
advantage of a good straight
puncher over a swinger, 1t was
surely shown to the satisfaction
of all who were conversant with
the two distinct styles employed
by the men who earn their liveli-
hood with gloved hands in the
pugilistic arena. Rittchie is a
brainy lad, a clean liver, neither
smokes or drinks-in this respect
he has a great advantage over
the present holder. 1t may be
we'll to relate the following stoSy,
to show that Wolgast entertains a
very respectful opinion of Richie.
Early in May, before leaving Los
Angeles for San Francisco, VOL
CAST was matched to meet Joe
Rivers on July 4. The champion
was touring the country, meeting
men of his class in short bouts.
His first one and supposed to be
easy, was Willie Richie. What
happened on that eventful day is
now pugilistic history This set
back and tendency to check the
short bout tour. Wolgast return
ed to Los Angeles, and on the
Fourth of July Rivers and VOL
CAST met, the champion defeating
Rivers in the thirteenth round.
After a few days of talking, Riv-
ers and Wolgast were practically
matched for a return date in Los
Angeles for Thanksgiving day.
Not wishing to be idle for four
months, Rivers sought to prove
that he. was still eligible FOR
championship, and reports were
heralded far and wide that he
was ready to tackle the best light
weights In the country.
The truth will always out In
time. and has developed that VOL
CAST, as mentioned, had an ever
lasting impression of Ritchie's
prowess in the ring, and directly
conveyed to Rivers manager, "if
you want Rivers Wolgast return
date on Thanksgiving day do not
make any match with Willie
Richie; he will knock Rivers out
in short order" Willie was toss
ed aside.
1t may not be amiss to infer
that Tom Jones has received the
same instructions from the cham
pion, as the iatter's advice to
Rivers mentor. From conditions

ches-one-quarter of an inch tall
er than the great Battling Nelson,
who was considered one OF the
tallest lightweights. Richie is
much cleverer than Wolgast, In
fact 1t Is doubtful II there Is a
cleverer man in the ring today,
not excepting Packey Mcfarland,
and in addition to this, Ritchie
is a good two-handed man, with a
right that means trouble for his
opponent. In action and looks
he Is a pocket edition to- That
once marvel of the Queensbury
game, Kid Mccoy. Unlike most
fighters, Richie was schoeled
properly, taught to use straight
punches instead of the swings and
hooks that are now SO common
with the present generation of
pugilists. 1t may be well to- recall
the Wolgast-Ritchie bout last May
to demonstrate what a great adj
vantage the straight puncher like
Richie had over the rough-and-
tumble swinger like Wolgast.
That Wolgast employs this style
of warfare, no well-informed box
ing enthusiast can deny. In this
contest, as corroborated by the
press. Richie peppered him with
that utmost precision. When the
Cadillac boy rushed Richie, the
latter would chuck him with the
deadly rights which generally
forced the champion to cover up.

(What looks to be the best
lightweight boxing contest Is
bout between Willie Richie and
AID Wolgast. In fact it is almost
assured that these boys will meet
in the ring in the next couple of
months. The Times requested
Billy Nolan, manager of Richie,
ex-manager of Battling Nelson
and one of the shrewdest judges
of a fighter in the world, to tell
which one he thought would win,
and why. Here is his answer.)

to believe that 1t will take strong
pressure to bring Ad Wolgast and
Willie Richie in long battle,
which will conclusively prove who
Is the better man. Let us hope
that the Cadillac boy will show
courage and spirit that champions
should possess, accept the defles
that Richie is showering on him,
as this meeting is inevitable. To
conclude, 1 am satisfied that
Willie Richie is the master Of the
champion, and the latter all but
admits it by his actions.
At the present writing Tom
Jones has travelled some 1000
miles from Cadillac to New Or
