Richie Made
$4,000 in Fight
With Rivers on 18th

SAN FRANCISCO. July 11.-Willie
Richie devoted Saturday counting up
ward of $4,000. which he received
as the result of his efforts yesterday
In Knocking out Jose Rivers. the most
formidable contender for his light
weight nonors, in the eleventh round.
This is the approximate sum OF what
he was guaranteed for the battle and
$4,000, which he won by betting.
If there ever was any serious be-
lief that Richie was lightweight
champion by reason OF "nuke,' 1t
has been effectively removed from the
minds Of fight fans here as the result
OF his victory yesterday. 1t was a.
emphatic as any knockout ever scored
here.
In the early stages Of the battle
Rivers attempted to put his opponent
to sleep with a series of right swings,
but only once did the champion seem
IN any danger. That was in the third
round, when Rivers scored two hard
rights to the body and a swinging
left to the Jaw. Richie stumbling and
falling. He was up quickly. however.
and after tina. the Mexican seemed
to go back gradually
Richie forged slowly ahead until
the beginning of the eleventh round,
when he started out to finish mat
tiers. a minute after the round be-
gan he sent Rivers down for the
count Of nine with a right cross to
the jaw and left to the stomach. The
instant the Mexican rose Richie again
shot two right crosses TO the chin and
frightful left jolt to the pit of the
stomach. and Jose crumpled up and
rolled over on his back, completely

The receipts Of the battle were
more than 100000.
