ORDEMAN-PERSON
MATCH TONIGHT

Fargo. N. D., March 27.-The sum
Of 500 was yesterday placed in a To-
cal bank as a guarantee on the part of
Henry Ordeman. heavyweight wrestler
Of Minneapolis. that he will defeat
Chris Person, champion Of North and
South Dakota, in the finish match here
tonight.
Ordeman arrived in Fargo this
morning, accompanied by his man
ager. George A. Barton, president of
h Northern league. Barton will
bring with him Ordeman's training
partner and Ordeman's training mat
being unwilling to take any chances
of injury to Ordeman on another mat.
Ordeman is to meet Jess Westereard
late this spring for the American title.
Should Person win the match, and
there Is plenty Of money in Fargo that
says he will get one fall. Person will
claim h American title and will 20
at once to Des Moines where he will
challenge Jess Westergard to a finish
match. In Fargo in January Wester-
gard failed to throw Person in one
our Of the hardest wrestling OF the
year.
Person also exceeded the record
made by Westergard and Doc Roller
and others in the length Of time which
he was able to stay with Zbyszko, the
Polish champion. Ordeman alone has
been able to stay the hour with the
big Pole.
The match here will be witnessed
by a record crowd.

newspapers. Now the screeches are
are rising up from Winona to Duluth,
but it looks as though they will have
to take 1t out in voice culture and
make the best of it.
Despite the fact that they are in
the twin cities purely on sufferance.
some Of these fellows seem to incline
toward a belief that they are masto-
cons at the baseball thing and are no,
content to work together in harmony
for n good year in their league. The
win cities r o or less disinter-
ested in the matter. and IL the out
side club owners are wise in their
generation they will tread lightly and
use the soft pedal. Their present
howl seems to De rather badly timed,
as they had ample opportunity to con
slider the schedule. and II there was
any doubt about 1t. should not have
adopted it so unanimously.
Schedule trouble is n of the
bones of baseball. and the man who
can write a schedule to suit every club
in the league has never been discov-
cred. There are always kicks, and
always will be. The Northern remon-
STRANGE seems to be especially belated.
and the officials Of the league will In
all probability not pay any attention

CHAMPION Richie IS CRITICIZED
FOR D0DG|NG FIGHTS With OTHERS

delivered by himself, his nightly re-
ceptions might lack cordially.
The chances are the British trip will
not be taken. at least until Ritchie's
record has been enhanced sufficiently
to warrant a triumphal tour. This
talk Of fiattering offers is buncomhe
of the worst description. for the stage
earnings of American celebrities on
the other side are always ~ridiculously
small.
A story told recently by Jim Cor
bett has bearing on this matter. seeing
as how it makes evident that the best
advertised pugilists of this country are
sometimes scarcely known in Eng
land.
.Corbett was billed to start his Brit
ish stage whirl at Bristol-it may
have been Birmingham-and when he
appeared to do his monologue he was
visibly discouraged by the calm-eyed
manner in which he was viewed.
From the look on their faces l
think some of them were wondering
whether l was a ventriloquist or was
going to give limitations Of famous
actors. 1t wasn't until I told them
I was the fellow Fitzsimmons licked
that they took a mild interest in me-
said Jim.
Now, if Corbett. conqueror of John
L. Sullivan n Charlie Mitchell, had
to go to such extreme to make him
self known. how will poor little zone
fight Willie Richie" fare in that
strange land?
One of III things that is puttins
ing men is the apparently insincere
manner in which Manager Nolan
keeps harping on the prospect Of d
contest with Packey Mcfarland, to
the exclusion Of other and more legi-
innate matches.
I'VE want Mcfarland and we will
sign with him the moment he agrees
as he agreed to do at Milwaukee"
This is Nolan's battle cry.
Why, the veriest ignoramus in
sporting matters knows that McFar-
land cannot make 1876 pounds for box.
Ing purposes at n time Of day. It
match would be one to view with
suspicion.
Jimmy Britt once declared, that
there are no ethics in pugilism, and
the chances are he was right. It is
for each boxer to lay out the course
he thinks best and Judge Of the cor
rectness Of his judgment by the meas
ure OF success met with.
1t is in Willie Ritchie's power to
dodge a Fourth Of July meeting with
one of our willing American light
weights and go junketing across the
pond If he feels that way about it,,
But it would be as we'll for him to
remember that SO far he has done
nothing to perpetuate his fame as a
pugilist.
When a fighter with a weak record
yanks himself out of the limelNght he
has a deuce of a time working back
to the place the glare is. 1t pays to
advertise and the best kind of ad-
vertising for a man like Willie Richie
is to be up and doing in his particular
field Of e%ndeavor.

San Francisco, March Eff Willie
Richie is given to thinking at all it is
high time for him to hunt his con-
sideration cap. For Willie's friends
are drifting away from him in car
load lots. and if the desertion con-
tinues at its present rate it will not
be long before Richie will find him.
pion that ever sported the laurel
wreath.
1t is Ritchie's treatment of recen,
offers and his attitude generally to-
wards h boxing game that has dis
gusted his wellwishers. He is con-
demned particularly for the strdiously
vague way in which he refers to the
probable date of his return to the
ring. He appears to be fencing with
the question, in fact. There isn't a
glimmer OF promise in anything he
playing squarely into the hands of his
enemies, who have contended all along
that he would make the most of an
accident which enabled him to grab
the title from the youngster who Won
Ii by dint OF hard fighting and who
risked II n defended it as often as
an opportunity arose.
Richie to Blame.
Richie has himself to blame If a
suspicion OF this kind attaches to him.
He hasn't accomplished sufficient to
warrant him playing fast and loose
with the boys of his class and with
the sporting PUBLIC generally in the
way he is doing. He knows that even
those who took his side of the argu-
ment when a question arose as to
whether Referee jim Griffin was jus
titled in depriving Wolgast Of his
crown on a technicality were unani-
nous i'll declaring that the circum-
stances called for a return match at
the earliest possible opportunity.
Richie pleaded a right to garner a
little Of the footlight harvest as 9TH
ers similarly situated had done before
him. and no one said him nav. He
took the road with the tacit under
standing that he would face Wolgasl
or some other worthy lad on the
Fourth Of July, if not before. He is
talking now of continuing and cross
ing the ocean for a worldwide the
atrical tour, and if there is anything
in his treatment of various fight pro.
posals to him that a promoter
can stick a pin in, the writer, for one.
has no come across it.
Either Richie is timorous about
facing this issue or he over estimates
lis own standing in the boxing world.
The p%retentious program he has
mapped out would be all right for a
man who had proved beyond chance
or argument that he is the best of his
weight in the United States. but IL
smacks of assurance in his particular
case. The average British music hail
patron has a keen Sense Of humor
and a sarcastic tongue, and IL Richie
made a bid for the %sixpences and
shillings Of the English vaudeville
circuit. and it leaked out that it was
a punch from the other man that
made him champion and not a punch

powers enabled him to rally and by
forcing matters in the last round earn

Another lightweight who has been
attracting considerable attention late
~ Is Pa Brown. a product OF Hibbing,
MINI. In the middle west the experts
have already selected this boy as their
candidate for tn lightweight honors.
Pal has beaten few top-notchers, but
his friends claim that lack of oppor-
tunity explains that. He has done
everything asked of him to date, and
his work among the second-raters has
been little short Of sensational at
times.
1t didn't take long for Gunboat
Smith to put Bombardier Wells in the
also ran" class-about four minutes
of actual fighting and it was over
and the Bombardier's name wiped
