Wolgast was then badly beaten man,
and it had been plainly evident for two
rounds that the lightweight champion
ship was about to change hands.
Tho new champions right name is Gary
Steffen, the Willie Ritchie stuff being
adopted for professional purposes. only
He was born IN San Francisco, of Ger.

youth equally between fathoming, the

young Gary Steffen began to apply bis

co, and soon showed such ability ct the

popular favor outside the kissing bees
of the feminine world.
The new champions rise to fame has
been meteoric just a year TO the day
previous to his acquisition of the light
weight supremacy-on Thanksgiving Day,
l91l--he got his first chance to butt
into the spotlight of the sporting world
by boldly jumping into the breach and
substituting on short notice for Wogast
when the former champion was stricken
with appendicitis on the eve of his bat
tie with Freddie Welch at Los Angeles
Ritchic, who was then sparring part
ner in the training camp of Packy Nc
Farland. took on the Welsh champion
on twenty-four hours notice, and after
an all night ride from San Francisco
went into the ring with Welsh, and al
though out Of condition surprised the
sporting world by battling that sensation
al scrapper TO a standstill for twenty
rounds and having him groggy on no less
than two occasions, only his inexperi-
ence preventing him from knocking out
the champion of Great Britain.
This performance caused the hitherto
unknown Ritchie to be widely hersldcd
es force to be contended with in the
lightweight class. and he wns at once
tagged by the champs and near-champs
as a man to fight shy of in the easy
money game. Shortly afterwsrd he
came east with Mcfarland, and when
Mcfarland was compelled to cancel q
six-round engagement with Young Erne
in Philadelphia at the last minute, owing
to damaged eye, Ritchie again jumped
in as substitute. taking Packys place
on short notice. and although Erne has
the six-round game down pat, and is a
finished artist over the short route,
Ritchie. the SUBJ, succeeded in handing
him an awful lacing within the stipu-
lated period
It was this willingness of Ritchie's TO
jump in and swap punches with any
guy IN the game at short notice that
stamped him as boy with courage and
confidence in his own ability, and it
was the clean-cut manner IN which he
handed himself when gwen the oppor-
tunity that gained him popular recogni-
ton as boxer of class But he had
never yet mingled with fighter of the
ruggedness Of Wolgast, and probably
everybody except himself doubted his
ability to weather the rough tactics OF
Euch bear-cat and be there at the
] finish.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-12-15

Last May he was given an opportunity
to meet Wolgast in four-round bout,
and succeeded In flooring the then cham
pion once with clean knockdown, but
as Wolgast was then just recovering
from his illness this fact added nothing
to Ritchie's prestige, and he was rank
outside choice when this pair stepped
into the ring again on Thanksgiving
Day with the lightweight crown at
stake.
That Ritchie himself did not share in
this doubt as to his ability to cope with
the rough work of Wolgast is shown by
the fight he made against the lightweight
champion. He carried the fight right to
the Cadillac 'Tbearcat" Mt all times,
picked his openings and timed his punch
es well. stood toe to toe and slugged
with his rugged opponent when it suited
his purpose, and before the eighth round
had expired had driven the customary
epeering smile from the face OF the cham
pion. Although Rtchie was given tho

considered as the real discoverer and
tutor of the new lightweight champion,
and in his general style and department
IN the ring Ritchic greatly resembles the
Chicago fash. Being an apt pupil and
much above the average intelligence
shown by the habitue OF the pugilistic
training camp. the new spsrring partner
soon possessed himself OF much of the
stock in trade OF the Bhifty stockyards
boy.
1nasmuch as hinge wads of soft kale
are now hanging around just waiting to
be pluckcd by the new lightweight cham
pjou, and the flock of mediocre talent
that is at present: engaged in the pleas

He was hiding his light under bush
el IN the preliminary game when Packy
Mcfarland picked him up as sparring
partner, and recognizing the possibilities
ia the boy, it was at Packy's behest that
he grabbed the opportunity of taking on
Welsh by substituting for the stricken
Wolgast and thereby gained his entry in
to select pugilistic circles.
Packy has since stated that he and
Richie are fast friends and will never
oppose each other in the ring. one of tho
reasons the "stockyard champion" ad-
vances for this being that he considers
