ed and the last one caught is a hand out:

In view of the results of recent impor-
tant lightweight battles. it begins to look
very much as If the championship title
will remain in Ritchie's possession for
some time to come Leach Cross defeat
nv Joe Rivers practically eliminates the
New Yorker from the contention for the
title. and at the same time was not sue
cessful in satisfying fight followers that
the Mexican would have chance in an
other battle with the champion.
Cross defeat was no surprise to any one
who saw him take a grueling from Ritchie
two weeks before the Eivers bout At
his age Cross cannot assimilate much
punishment and come back in so short a
time for battle with a strenuous Gus
toner such as Rivers has proved himself
on occasion.
Ritchie has already demonstrated su-
periority over the Mexican Good judges
who saw Willie beat Joe last summer told
me that Rivers does not belong" with the
champion. OF course that can only be
proved by bringing the boys together
again. although there is no denying that
Willie Won decisively enough last time.
Furthermore. | am informed that it is no
sure thing Rivers would consent to an
other match with Ritchie should it be
offered him. 1t is thought Willie has
the Indian sign on Joe, and that Jov
knows it.
