1900 plants ready to set out in the

eeedings, he left the ring more popu-
lar and with a more liberal stamp of
approval of his ability as a fighter
than when he entered the arena. He
had been beaten, positively and
honestly, but he was not disgraced
in the least His friends warmed UP
to him warmer and even those who
were for Ritchie from the first
couldn't help but give Leach all the
credit in the world.
C
The fight, we can safely go on to
say, was one of the best ever seen in
New York. From the opening blow, a
left to the body by Cross. until the
last blow. left to the face by
moment in the ten rounds of milling
1t was Richie, mostly, who made
the fight, but he had a worthy and
willing henchman in Cross. Willie
has an air of kindly viciousness about
him, and you wouldn't believe. to
look at him and draw his smile, that
he was such a crusher with his fists
such q killer with his blows. How
he gets his power is one of those
hidden mysteries of humanity. He
doesn't look the part. He is rather
tame in his way, quiet in his de-
meanor, soft in his voice, polite. In
his manner. He has keen eye
though, and you could say wicked
eye. In any event, 1t is a watchful
seems to be perfect judge of dis
lance. He played his left-hand jabs
beautifully and he hooked a left now
and then, and just so often, to keep
Cross guessing just what he would
do next. Then, to change the mo-
notony and when the chance was
apparent, Willie would whip over
his right-a tremendous, sure and
straight-from the shoulder right
and Leach would feel its sting right
down to his very toes. With either
hand this new lightweight master of
tisticuffs can give you a lesson in
boxing. To Cross he taught a few
new moves and Leachie will not want
to meet him again in a hurry-un-
less, of course, the allurements are
sufficiently enticing to pay hand
somely for bloody nose and black
| eye and a swollen mouth and a
bruised ear and a lacerated and bat
tle-scarred body. Then, perhaps, we
might be able to see another such
fight as we saw last night in the

Garden. Until then we will lay low
and hope that there is another
worthy opponent for Champion
Ritchie in the pugilistic mart.
G
When Richie came into the ring
and Cross followed him and you had
taken good look at both of them
from every angle you would rather
feel a tinge of fear for the champion.
His face bellies his powers. He looked
like n youth of school age with
cunning little twinkle in his eye,
putty, upturned nose, a small mouth,
with twisted lip that gives him
an air of freshness-in a word, a boy.
Yet as he bowed to his friends at the
ringside and chatted to his handlers
in his corner you could see that under
all the smoothness there was the ter
ror within. And when the fight
opened and the first round began you
could see itsall the more so. The keen
eye assumed a vicious twinkle, the
small mouth closed tight in deter
nina ton, a wicked sneer took the
place Of the kindly smile. the body,
relaxed in the quiet moments, now
bulged with the tension of excite
ment. Richie before the battle was
not the same Richie by any means
when the battle was on.
6
Those who We're there will not for
get the fight in hurry, and they are
not likely to ever forget the third
round at all. That round was the
piece de resistance of the battle. 1t
came within the proverbial ace OF
being the end of the bout-the end
of Cross. 1t was opened by Richie
with a singing left lab to Cross's
face, followed by few light jabs
and a left hook that made Leach look
foolish. Cross was plainly bewildered
and he slowed somewhat as Willie
followed him, driving him back and
to cover. Leach, hurt, crouched, pre-
pared for one of those famous right
swings of his. AS he rose to deliver,
Ritchie beat him to the punch, and
like q lightning flash shot over his
right to the jaw. Leach just crumbled
under the impact. The spectators,
delighted and pleased with what they
had seen in the first two rounds,
were now beyond themselves. A

Tommy Cornell and Ainsworth to
contend for left half. Dunns work

head of the new association.
More than 500 women, now residents

Cornell, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley
Mt. Holyoke and other colleges have
applied for membership. The assocla-
ton plans to go in for bowling, gym
nastics, swimming, basketball, fenc-

extend to field sports.

Coach Alfred Shrubb Thinks
Yale Put One Over Harvard

: CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 11.--Coach Al
fred Shrubb. of the Harvard cross
country team, is inclined to think
that Yale put one over on the Grim
son in selecting the rather unusual
cross-country course 1t did for the
run between the two teams Saturday,
which the Blue won.
81 don't want to take particle of
credit away from Yale's victory,
said Coach Shrubb yesterday, but
the Harvard team was certainly ham
dicapped by having to plunge into
such cold water. | am free to admit
! never saw a cross-country course
like the one that Yale asked us to
run over. Making runners plunge
into water up to their arms strikes
me as being dangerous"

Penn. for Michigan Game

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. H.
Although a round half-dozen Penn
sylvania players were injured in the
game with Dartmouth on Saturday,
every man on the squad was out in
uniform at Franklin Field. After
speaking a few words of encourage
ment, Coach Brooke put the varsity
team and a scrub team through a
long dummy practise, in which the
scrubs went through Michigan for
nations, especially forward pass for
nations, while the varsity devised
ways and means of breaking them
up. There was no scrimmage.

In Richie we have the likeliest
champion in years. He is head and
heels over Bat Nelson, and he is a
more finished fighter than AID VOL
CAST. He can be called a marvel
without being one bit too strong. He
showed us last night more than we
have seen in one man in many's the
day. He can box-box beautifully
and he can hght-fight like q Trojan.
That, in a word, is short sketch of
Mr.. Richie. To be able to fight and
to be able to box is some accomplish
ment Willie Is accomplished. He
acquainted the vast assemblage that
paid all the way from 81 per to peek
down from the gallery to $40 per to
look up from the boxes at the ring
side with an altogether new school of
pugilism. Here was q champions
brand-new champion, you might say
who was willing to box If his OPP
ponent would box, to fight II his OPP
ponent would fight-in all champion
who had no fear to feel, no favors to
aska Here was a champion who was
ever ready to exchange the blows of
battle with a battler like Cross, who
is famous for his blows. Yet never
right into the thick of the fray, and
he beat into submission q dangerous
fellow, who never showed more class
than he did on this particular occa-
sion. Ritchie is everything--the last
word-as fighter. He is a champion
of the highest tyne. He boxes beau
tifully, and he faces the music so
fearlessly, SO unconcernedly, so full
of utter confidence, that even his
hated rivals must doff their hats to
him and give him credit.
@
To Cross, we would say "Bravol"
He gave us one of the greatest exhi-
billions and he took his beating with
out whimper. He fought as If he,
too, had plenty of confidence, and
the fact that before him stood real
live champion didn't seem to faze
him in the least. He was game,
was Mr.. Cross, and he fought as If
he had ton of courage. He toed
the scratch at times and gave blow
for blow and at other times he led
in the attack. He covered no some,
of course, but he didn't overstep
| the bounds of propriety, as he has In
other contests. Cross was a worthy
/ foeman in every way, and although

knocked out in one stage of the pro-
