And in compelling his opponent to
show his best In every line Cross was
not a victim of leisure, by any
means. Leach fought almost as much
as did Richie. He forced the battle,
and he displayed tendency to mix it
at times that quite took the champion
! off his feet. Some Of the experts fail
to give Cross q look-in at all. That
Is positively an injustice. One noted
and reputed judge said thar Richie
won hands down." and another wrote
that "Ritchie won easily" 1t was no
such thing. Cross had the better of
the first round, and he had none the
worst of the second round The fifth
round, If anything. belonged to Cross.
and In the eighth round there was
little to choose between them All
through the fight Cross did his share
of leading. and he did his share OF
forcing. and he showed a willingness
and gameness that deserve special
commentator. But nearly all the
experts, in their desire to give Richie
all the honors due him-and great
honors are due him for his wonderful
exhibitionAsimply overlook the boy
who made Ritchie's showing possible
and who gave the champion battle
worthy of any lighters steel. We say
of Cross-as We said yesterday
,. Bravo! We say he put up remark
able battle. We say he did excep-
tionally we'll against the best boy In
his class, and that he wasn't beaten
hands down." and that he wasn't
beaten easily" We add, too, that
Cross fought a clean fight. and that
he won many new friends by 1t. The
little trick Leach pulled In the second
round when he gave Ritchie hard
fail off his back might have been de-
liberate, and II might have just hap
pened so. However, 1t was no fault
of Cross's that Willie should get so
badly mixed up In his work as to find
himself on the floor with no good
reason to offer for his being there. To
give everybody his just dues, Cross
deserves almost as much credit, in a
way, for the now famous battle as
does Champion Richie
