solutions of the Vancouver puzzle, but
the stories told differ so widely that
there is small chance of any particular
version Of the matter being accepted
as reliable.
It is generally agreed that it was

character, would prove a knockout in

Possibly the separate articles Of

be had, would show that both fighters
pinned their faith to the pictures as
means of reward, rather than to the
prospective gate money.
Richie, after he went to Vancouver
discovered that the fight was not Gre

Spect before Welsh "sprained his an
kle," and after the postponement, ac-
cording TO the best information obtain
able, the thing fell fiat Just about this
time too, Richie saw that the bottom
was falling cut of the racing game,
and he noticed disposition on the
part Of the principal promoter to dis
pute some Of the points of the agree

Mcintyre.

manager was playing fast and loose

According TO Harry Foley. who went

up while handling Jack MunrOe and
other stars of the arena, he succeeded
in imbuing Richie with the idea, that
there was plot afoot to give him the
worst of the DEAL and this as much as
anything caused Richie to drop all ne

There is reason for suppoSing that

y AN FRANCISCO, Calf, Sept ~
The collapse of the Ritchie-Welsh
- fight at Vancouver for the cham

mild sensation in san Francisco. as the
event was not taken seriously from the
first To begin with, the sports gen
orally could not understand how. any
promoter in a small community IKE
Vancouver could promise Richie more
money than san Francisco, or New

Richie broke a few records get

his principal reason that the pro-

auently pointed out that the amount
Ritchie wished included IN his emolu-
ments would not reach $500 at the
