Richie and Cross Box Wednesday
Champs FirstAppearanceinN.Y.

will mark the beginning Of this new
order of things SO far as Richie Is
concerned. Far be it from the writer
to disclose any mans scheme OF bat
tie, but as Willie has made public
property Of his system, no condolences
are betrayed in this especial instance.

J comes into the ring with his face
flushed and his forehead moist with
perspiration depend upon 1t that he
has had a spirited set-to with one of
his aides back in the dressing room.
1t was the fight with Rivers that
convinced Willie he would have been
the better for a little warm-up prior
to taking the ring. 1t also convinced
to get going. 1t did more. 1t made
fellows who had bet heavily on Ritch-
lie feel for a while that they had
barked up the wrong tree.
Little wonder, for of all the be-
draggled worlds champions that were
ever seen Richie was the worst In
the early rounds OF that match. His
knees hit the ground; his hair came
down over his eyes and his head
snapped this way and that under
Rivers Fostering fire. But Rivers
gave out and it came all right after
a while.
TIE Around bout with Ad Wolgast
was about the only match IN
which Richie got to work quickly,
He staggered Wolgast with we'll
placed rights but even this was con-
doned on the score that it was VOL
CASTS first essay after his opera
ton, the argument being that Ad at
the time was more a subject for a
sanitarium than a prize ring.
In his match with Joe Mandot ri
New Orleans, Richie was very late
In putting in his best ticks, and
striking an average Of his perform
ances, he is more at home in long
bouts than shorter ones.
Richie, albeit his ring work is not
of the scintillating kind, is a hard
man to down. He is game beyond
question, although you might not
think so on account of the extreme
caution he displays in making OF
matches.
He has far greater assimila tive
powers than might be supposed after
making a study of his physique and
his facial characteristics, and he has
shown that he can stand all kinds
Of wear and tear and still retain a
stiffening right-hand punch.

Club Leader Calls
Off All Games

CHICAGO. ILL, Oct. 25.-The first
snowstorm OF the season yesterday
sent the Cubs scurrying. The first
thing that Manager Eyers did when
he arose was to look out of the win
dow. The next was to hustle to the
Cub office and get in communication
with the cities where exhibition
games had been arranged. When he
finished with the telephon all OF the
dates had been Cancelled and the West
Side players who had been barn
storming were at liberty to get out OF
the city as soon as they willed. Some
of them willed TO disappear immedi-
ately.

other cities that we were good sports
men, l volunteered TO play them foot

L AN ISAANCIoSO. oCL. So.-1 his
- coming Wednesday night New
York will have it's first glimpse
of Lightweight Champion Willie
Richie in action, and just what kind
of an impression Richie will make
upon the Eastern fight followers re-
mains to be seen. Willie and Leach
Cross are to clash in ten-round
bout, Richie, according to what has
been flashed across the wires, has
unlimited reliance in his ability to
handle young Mr. Cross in mastery
manner. As Willie occupies the
proud position Of king of the light
weights, he could hardly be expected
to talk in any other strain.
In difference to his exalted station
a champion has to radiate confidence
as an emery wheel emits sparks. If
he failed to do so the public would
slacken up its hero-worship and 1t
may be the man he Is training for
will not come with that feeling of awe
which the under dog is supposed to
labor under when he finds himself in
the presence Of pugilistic royalty.
Apart from all that, however, Willie
Richie is a thinking individual, and
he probably recognizes that the COM
ing test will prove serious one.
To begin with, Leach Cross has
specialized over the ten-round
distance. and is thoroughly at home
in a bout of that length. He has
started on so many tep-round jour
neys that he knows-or should know
how fast he can rate himself with
out overtaXing his condition.
This is something that works both
ways. It enables a man to tell II the
other fellow is crowding on more sail
than ne will be able to carry. Forti-
fed with such powers a man who
knows the short bout game from A to
z can contrive to keep something in
reserve and make it decidedly I'M
comfortable for an opponent who has
fought himself into a state Of weari-
ness.
r HEN again Leach is a tricky fell
low. In the matter of sending in
a singing punch when least expected,
he is a veritable surprise package.
There is no particular continuity to
his work, as he shows to poor adj
vantage occasionally against mediocre
boxers and performs brilliantly in
Hlgn-CldSS company. lie Is not 10 De
gagged by what he did in his last
battle or the one before, and he sand
witches good showings in among bad
and In SUCH a way that the highest
tribute one can pay him is to pro-
nounce him q dangerous man.
While Willie Ritchie is to all in
tents and purposes a product of San
F'rancisco's four-round phase of box
ing, 1t can not be said that he shows
to advantage over short distances.
There is story extant for that mat
ter, that he recognizes as much, and
that he recently decided to take a leaf
out of Bob Fitzsimmons' book.
= OBJ in his later fights around New
- York found that he could not linn
Der up to satisfy himself and he in
augurated practice of warming up
in his dressing room with one of his
sparring partners before entering the
ring. Richie, 1t is said, believes
that course of that kind would en-
able him to get down to his bearings
more quickly after the starting gong
rang and he told some of his friends
that he intended to go in for loosen
ing up exercises in the manner of
F'itzsimmons.
