sAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov 20
Not since Battling Nelson and Jimmy

Ing afternoon.
Ever since their fourround bout In
San Francisco last spring. in which
Richie easily bested the champion.
there has been a demand for a return
match over the long route, Richie
never once getting of the champions

Ritchies rise In the boxing world
Is little short OF phenomenal One
year ago he was unknown outside OF
san Francisco. He was regarded In
his home city as dazzling parfor box

cion that he lacked heart. since
then he has shown the punch and the
heart, completing all the fghting
requisites that go to make topnotch
boxer.
Ritchie's first bid for fame came
when he substituted for AID Wolgast
against Freddie Welsh In Los Angeles
last Thanksgiving day. Taking the
match on "a hours notice, travelling
over night from San Francisco To Los
Angeles and arriving at the arena
two hours before the fight was SEIZED

without even a rundown and gave

bout Richie proved beyond all doubt
that he Is game Floored twice In
the third round. he came back In the
fourth and beat Wolgast all over the
ring, marking the champion up moro,
than any other boxer had succeeded
in doing.
Richie was idle for some time after
this engagement. his next meeting
being with Joe Mandot some months
later. They fought 10 rounds in New
Orleans, Richie having Mandot on
