Lightweight Champion Meets
Joe Rivers for Title at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4-Willie
Rltchie of San Francisco. the first Cali.
fornia fighter to hold the lightweight
championship, will step into the ring
this afternoon to defend his title against
Joe Rivers Of Los Angeles, also ma
tive son. with the odds 10 to in favor
of the champion. Both fighters declared
themselves to be in the pink Of condi.
ton. Both being hard hitters and clean
boxers, a knockout was generally pre-
dicted.
The lengthening of the odds, which
opened at 10 to S, was attributed to the
enthusiastic backing of Ritchie by bet
tors of his home city and the failure of
the expected flood Of Los Angeles money
on Rivers. Eddie Graney, promoter of
the fight and chosen by the fighters as
referee, said practically every seat in
his big open-air arena had been sold
The day broke with fog. but no
other indication of the rain which the
fOrecaster had predicted.

request the American to put away the
flag. but before the soldier could reach
the American number of angry civilians
pounced upon him. tore the flag from his
grasp and hurled it into the street. Be-
fore it could be reached the flag was torn
and dirtied.
In the free-for-all fight which follow
ed number of civilians were injured
but none seriously. The American
whose name could not be ascertained,
escaped without serious harm and, with
the aid of the police, eluded the crowd
The regiment preserved perfect order
and the soldiers took no part in the
demonstration.
