RITCH|E HAS NO
+ SHADE IN WEIGHT
Challenger Is Just as Strong
{ at the s135 Pound Mark
as the Champion
By JAY DAVIDSON

Los ANGELES. Sept. 1-Willie
Ritchie has driven a nice bargain with
she Vancouver boxing promoters for
his scrap September 20 with Freddie
Welsh. but he seems TO have acquired
little If any advantage In the condi-
ttons. In agreeing to 135. pounds an
hour before entering the ring he
probably Is .conceding nothing to
Welsh because It Is nearer his own
weight than 133 pounds at the same
hour. 1t fsa debatable question
whether he or Welsh would have been
most handicapped at 133 pounds. At
the distance, 20 rounds any advantage
thEs may accrue from the. weight ar
rangement probably will favor
Ritchie.- He can go the distance more
handily than Welsh.
There is little for Richie to fear
from Welsh. according to all reports.
Freddie is not by any means as good
as he was: when he fought Packy Nc
Farland here. and has shown dis
like for the derby route. that he once
dotted on. ..Rltchie, like the stake
horse that he Is. fights better the far
ther he travels, and unquestionably
he will be in better all round condi-
tion than Welsh.
Leach Cross Will pick UP some easy
change en- route home by stopping
over in Vancouver long enough to
polish off local pride with an un-
pronounceable name. Cross is letting
this bushwhacker in at the welter
limit, 14s pounds, but unless the un-
known is a marvel Leach. can give
away what little weight that may
mean and still win as he pleases.
