 NEW CHAMPION Ad Wolgast Loses Title in Sixteenth Round When
 He Fouled.
HE HAD BEEN BEATEN
Fight Was Fierce Ritchie Could Not Deliver the
 Knock Out.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 2S.-Ad Wolgast is no longer champion of the world. He lost his title by striking Willie Ritchie foul blow in the six City this afternoon. Whether Wolgast saw that a knockout was inevitable and preferred to lose his laurels the way he did is an open question. As far as this could be judged Wolgast was a beaten man anyhow. He had dropped once after taking right hand crash on the jaw. He was stag gering around when he fell again, without being struck. Ritchie who was plainly rattled kept right after Wolgast after the first knock down but was unable to connect cleanly. It was not so much that Wolgast dis played cleverness in avoiding Ritchie's assault as it was that Wolgast was lurching and reeling in such manner that Ritchie could not hit surely.
 It was like aiming at swinging target. In any case Wolgast stag gered around and Ritchie unloaded volleys of punches on thin air. Vol gast's head cleared to some extent and he fought back. He swung clums- fly at the body, there being neither direction or force behind his punches. He had Ritchia against the ropes once and kept him there by leaning on him. Ritchie escaped and danced to mid-ring and planted himself to deliver a right-hander. Wolgast reel ed toward him and after couple of wild lunges wung his right into Ritch- ie's groin. This was the blow that caused Ritchie to sink to his knees.
 Ritchie fell to his knees with an expression of pain on his face; he arose agian, but kept in stopped ov- CT position. There was no occasion for him to appeal to Referee Griffin for ruling for the referee had seen what happened. Without a seconds hesitation Griffin shouldered Vol gast away and held Ritchie's glove aloft, proclaiming that Wolgast's foul tactics had caused change in the worlds championship.
 Until the sixteenth round it was a clearly even fight. For seven rounds there was little to choose and then Wolgast took a lead He seemed to be getting livelier while Ritchie was apparently fading away. A whisper came around the ring corner. how ever, that Ritchie was simply laying upon the advice of his manager. Billy Nolan. When the tenth round was nearly over Ritchie loosened up again in a business-like way and with a straight right and left uppercut placed himself on an equal footing with the Michigan wildcat. After that it was nip and tuck until the sixteenth round

BIG RICE GROWER COMING HERE TODAY Fred D. Gibson to Attend Semi Monthly Ses-
 sion.
TELLS OF SUCCESS
Formerly Lived in C0l0radO-Nay 6e. come Director Of Packing
 Company.

Fred D. c bson, of Stuttgart, one of the largest individual r'ce grow CTS in the state. will arrive in the ely his morning tG attend the regu- lar sami-mon1hly meeting of the trus- tees of the Chamber of Commerce. MT. q bson VII also confer with the officials of the Arkansas Packing Company with a view of taking a large block of stock. He will be ac- com2anied here by MT. Saunders, secretary Of the Rice Growers Asso- citation.
 Though a very young man. Mr. G.bson is very successful as a rice grower and it is estmated he will clear at least $45,oO0 on this years crop. The following interview from Mr. Gibson will appear in the No vember number of "B eek Ts, the Land farm paper published here:
 ''I came to Arkansas two year. ago last February at the persuas on of my father, mak ng my initial trip for inspection purposes only. At that time I was living in Colorado and, leaving there, as l did, m February with the thermometer registered P degrees below zero and the ground completely covered with snow, I ar- rived in Stuttgart to find a spring like condition. I rode all over the country adjacent to Stutt gart in an open automobile, wearing as extra covering only light top coat, stop- ping here and there to talk with rice rice industry. The results of these conversations and the looks of the countly induced me to purchase 1,052 ceres of rice land before re- turning to Colorado.
 Upon my return to Colorado, I at once prepared tc move to the rec belt returning here in May, 1910. l had never grown crop of rice and realized my ignorance regard ng the same. l spent my first year in mak- ing personal observations and inves- tigations. The following year, or year of 1911 planted SS4 acres and was so we'll satisfied with the resuI. of that crop that have Tn this lear 1,450 acres of rice besides $50 acres of ccwpeas and approxi- mately 1000 acres of oats. From my farming operations this year Il shall clear in the neighborhood of $3O,00O to $45OO0. Since being down here have acquired approximately 5000 acres mere than my original purcnase and expect to develop it as fast as time. will permit.
 ''To the man with energy, ambition and brains the prospect for future in this community is exceptional. R ce farming to us is what corn is to Illinois and Iowa, but feel the general farmer-that is the one who raises rec and the other crops tkat can De produced in this vicinity, and also enters the livestock game. which is very prse table, will be well paid for his time and energy. Of course. farming is not the only pursuit in whica I can see lucrative returns, as L feel any line of bus ness that one may follow in the South, if properly managed will. pay big returns.
