RITCHIE IS A. REAL CHAMPION;
SHOWS IT in RIVERS FIGHT
Willie Wins After Having
Worst of the Early
Rounds.
MEXICAN TAKES THE COUNT
Some of the Spectators, How
ever, Seemed to Think
That Joe Quit.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-A
wicked right cross-the same blow
which was so effective against Ad
Wolgast-proved too great stumb-
ling block to Joe Rivers in his at
tempt to wrest the lightweight title
from Champion Willie Ritchie at the
Eighth Street Open-Air Arena here
yesterday, the Mexican being knocked
out in the eleventh round of a sched-
uled twenty-round battle.
Immediately preceding the knock
out Richie toppled his antagonist
over for the count Of nine with
ponderous right to the jaw, and
another right to the chin. preceded by
left to the stomach, settled Rives's
chances as a lightweight contender.
There were those at the ringside
who felt as if Rivers did show much
gameness. The opinion was rather
general that he had quit.
The fight throughout was viciously
contested and twice in the earlier
rounds it looked as though Rivers
might win. Ritchie's wonderful ring
generalship and ability to hit effec-
lively straight from the shoulder with
either hand, however, offset the
Mexicans attack and 1t was not long
before Rivers became disheartened
and pinned his faith solely on wild
swings one of which he hoped would
land for a knockout.
The battle opened with both men
eager to mix at close range. The
first round left no choice, but In the
second. third and fourth rounds the
Mexican was tigerishly aggressive
and punished the champion severely
with swinging blows to the face and
body, several of which staggered
Richie and caused uneasiness in his
corner. The San Franciscan rallied
in the fifth and thereafter displayed
true championship form. He met the
southerner's wild rushes with snappy
left and right smashes to the face,
which cut deeply, and easily blocked
or evaded the poorly timed swings.
MANY OFF which were far wide of the
mark.
The champion fairly beamed with
confidence as the fight progressed. In
the seventh he opened cash above
Rivers left eye and in the following
round cut his face severely with a
volley of snappy left jabs. The-tenth
round seemed to presage ultimate de-
feat for the challenger a left upper
cut to the chin. which lifted him from
the floor. caused him to falter per-
ceptibly.
The eleventh and final round had
scarcely opened when Ritchie's right
shot out straight from the shoulder,

Snodgrass redeemed his world s
series error by a sensational catch
which saved the morning game for
the Giants at Brooklyn. With two on
bases Hummell sent one to the fence.
Snodgrass grabbed 1t with one hand
after fierce sprint.
Eighteen thousand fans saw the
morning game and $4,000 were pres
ent at the afternoon affair between
the Giants and Dodgers. Both games
were played at Brooklyn.
1t is estimated that the Brooklyn

that position If their pitchers regain
their form.

PROS.
OUT FOR THE TITLE.
Championship Race Tomorrow
Will Have Double Parts
as an Incentive.
EDDIE ROOT THE LEADER

An interesting card of races has
been prepared for the regular Sunday
afternoon meet at the Stadium
Motordrome. The stellar event will
be the half-nile professional cham
pionship race, which will he run
in three trial heats, two semi finals
and final. Eddie Root is nowS the
leader in the championship point
table, topping Freddy Hill and Dro-
bach, who are tied for second, by five
points. Spears and Cory, the Aus
tralians, have not as yet shown in
the point column, but they expect to
get going tomorrow. AS the race
carries extra points, there will be an
added desire to win.
Willie Hanley, the Western anna
teur star, who made his debut at the
Motordrome yesterday, finishing sec
ond to Tommy Smith in the one-lap
dash final, has been placed on scratch
with Smith and Wohlrab in the half
mile handicap. Fifty-seven entries
have been made for this event, and,
as the handicaps range all the way
from ten to sixty-five yards, the
scratch men will have to cut out a
stiff pace If they expect to qualify.
Two long distance races are also
down for decision. The amateurs will
have flve-mile open, while the pro-
fessionals are asked to start in a
ten-mile open. Thirtytwo riders VIII
start in the ten-mile event. and the
lap prizes should keep the field going
at fast clip for the entire distance.
A two-mile pro invitation and mile
novice race, in which thirty entries
have been made, are also down for
decision. All told the program is one
of the best arranged thus far.
Beginning next week, racing at the
Motordrome will be held on Tuesday
and Saturday nights.

CHRISTMAS TRADE
PRECEDENTED
Morris Avenue Merchants
Well Satisfied-Demand
Was Good

Ihe Morris avenue merchants closed
their doors last night with a smile and
departed to their several homes to play
Santa Claus.
The Christmas trade this year has been
almost unprecedented. The good demand
was met with an equally good supply in
all lines. except turkeys, aad the prices
generally were normal. The market will
resume the even tenor of it's way tomor-
rom morning, and the demand will reach
something like the normal level.
The demand for eggs this year has been
very great, and the prizes are lower than
they have been at any other time of the
season. The supplies have been very good
and merchants assert that the business
In eggs the past two weeks has been
greater than in a similar period:
The produce men expressed themselves
as being greatly satisfied with the re-
suit of the Christmas trade. 1t was even
better than was expected, and the dealers
are more optimistically inclmcd than for
some weeks past. The trade liz expected
TO be fairly brisk the rest of the sea son.

TONE ISSTEADY
At NEW ORLEANS
Disposition to Advance
Checked by Heavy Sell
ing Orders

New Orleans, December 24.-Cotton was
fairly active today In spite of the holt
day tomorrow. In the morning the tons
was steady and a disposition to advance
was in evidence, but around noon the
market weakened under heavy selling,
which the gossip of the market said was
the result of liquidation of long cotton
based on the fear of large January de-
liveries.
Friday will be the first notice day fer
January deliveries In this market and
bears predicted a large number of no.
tees. Bulls, in turn, predicted that the
notices would be quickly stopped, but
liquidation of long cotton continued
nevertheless.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points on better cables
than due. Offerings were very modera q
in the early hours and the advance was
gradually widened to to 10 points At
this level liquidation became the chief
influence, the advance was soon wiped
out and, in the early afternoon a decline
of to II points substituted for It, The
close was steady at u net decline for
the day of to points
The market was steadied in the early
trading by reports of a better spot de-
mand, especially for the lower grades in
tho interior. kilograms from points in
the belt said that holders were firm and
not following the recent decline in the
future markets. Late in the day the de-
cline was checked by the rise of IA cent.
and the rather large sales in the local
spot market.

CHICAGO WHEAT
CLOSES STEADY
Improved Weather Condi-
tiOns Have Bearish
Influence

Chicago. December 24.-Improved
weather conditions for the windup of the
Argentine harvest had a bearish influ-
ence today on wheat. The market closed
easy at the same as last night to CSC
down. Corn showed Il net decline of "a
Ac TO sc, and oats a setback of 4G9kc
to sc. In provisions the outcome va
ried from unchanged figures to a loss of
2lzq5c.
Brenos Aires prices made the fact evil
dent that dealers there felt much bet
ter able than of late to meet COMPETE
ton, Moreover, Liverpool dispatches told
of La Plata cargoes being offered cheap
er at British ports. Producers in west
err Europe were also declared to be SELL
ing more freely than has been the case of
late.
Additional snow, especially in Kansas,
offset attempts to cause a scare over the
possibility of damage to wheat by a
general freeze up. At one stage prices did
show a rally, but the strength failed to
la st.
Holiday liquidation sales took the edge
off the corn market. Meagerness of ship
ping demand counted also against the
bulls, so that an early advance due to
unsettled weather, delaying receipts was
more than wiped out
Oats developed some heaviness owing to
liberal supplies coupled with knowledge
that sales to the east were small.
Provisions rose moderately and then
sank. In this course, values appeared to
be governed almost entirely by the chang
ing values of live hogs.

COTTON MARKET
UNUSUALLY ACTIVE
Holiday Atmosphere in Evil

Plentiful

New York. December 2i.-The cotton
market was more than usually active for
the day preceding Christmas. The holt
day atmosphere was in evidence, but or
ders We're plentiful enough to prevent the
usual festivities and there were share
fluctuations in prices. An early advance
carried the active months some so to Sc
points above the low level of Monday
where considerable realizing was encoun-
tered, under which the market eased off
with the close steady, net unchanged to 9
points lower.

the day. After the close of Liverpool,
however, the demand tapered off, suggest

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 24-The foreign
markets this morning were decidedly bet
ter than the trade had anticipated, pri-
vate dispatches, reporting a good demand
from the continent and some buying from
Bombay merchants. Our market followed
these advices advancing some 10 points
further with some buying In our market
also from continental sources. On the
rise enough realizing appeared to carry
the market below last nights prices, the
sclose being practically unchanged. Ad-
vices from the southern markets were OF
rather better demand with less pree-
sure from holders, though business WAS
restricted by the natural dullnes Incl
dent to the holidays. We wish you all a
merry Christmas.
