 F0R 3 FIGHTS
Memsic-Kane Bout Prom ises to Be Some Scrap Both Men Working Out. Two Corking Curtain RaiscrS Arranged

Early yesterday morning Old George Memsic Wriggled into a heavy sweater got out a pair of old trousers, and with q pair of light shoes beat it out east of town for a five mile jog of road work. George in short is in train ing still, for his fight with Walter (BuddY) Kane of Yuma, here on the afternoon of July 4th. George is also some old head at the game probably the best trial horse in his division of pugs ever produced. Always a clever scrapper, always a willing mixer, with kick in either init, he has fought all the top notchers, has been many times close to the championship of the lightweight division, but has always barely missed it. A miss being gener- ally as good as q mile, George Memsic is still q mile away from the top of his class.
 All this does not mean however that George is not there with both fists. on the contrary. any youngster that can put the old master away is among the corners in his division. It was for the purpose of obviating any pOssi- bility of being put away in the dis card by younger man, that old George started doing the old faithful training stunt as soon as he was matched with Buddy Kane. He real izes that a youngster sometimes gets over a wild pitch which lands on the sleep point with direful results There fore it hehoOVes him to take no such chances.
 Kane is a scrappy yOungster, and showed so well in a recent go here with Pete Daley. that Manager Cor cister choose him as the opponent of George Memsic to assist in celebrating the Fourth of July. Kane win put up a gritty-there every minute-scrap, unless dOpesters are much mistaken. Kane has been doing faithful work training for the mill realizing that it is a chance for him. If he can get the better of Memsic even at catch weights it means recognition for him with the leaders of his business. He will be a scrapper pretty generally needed to be an attraction at big fights.
 The manager of the afternoon goes has arranged for number of good preliminaries which will work up the blood of the fans even if the afternoon is SOrter warm. These two events are for four spaces only. Kid Acuna and Jack Williams will go first and Jimmy Burns and Jack Lyons will follow. The main event will come thereafter.

 SAN. FRANCISCO, July 1.-Willie Ritchie, the light weight champion of the world and Joe Rivers. the Mexican of Los Angeles. finished hard training today for their 20 round match on July 1. Both are within easy striking dis tance of the weight, which is 134 three hours before gong. Both will do only light work from now on.
 Ritchie is the faVorite, but the pre- diction Is even money will rule at ring side. Both men are in the pink of condition. A comparison of the meas urements shows Ritchie has slight ad- vantage in height and reach. but Rivers is more solidIy built about the neck, chest, arms, shoulders, though trim mer in the wrists and ankles.
 A close watch of the training camps seem to show Rivers is faster on his feet, packs a much heavier punch and shoots in more blows. On the other hand he seemed to show more Vul- nerable defense and less accurate of fense. Expert opinion has about reached the conclusion that the finish will depend on the relative courage of each and the ability to assimilate punishment.
