Richie Due in Chicago Tomorrow
Plans Many Fights.

Willie Richie, lightweight cham-
pion of the I'D, will arrive in Chi
cago tom night, spend few
days with -ew of Lake Michigan
and then beat it for the north woods
on a hunting and fishing trip.
The title holder has earned a rest
and intends to take it in a way that
pleases him. In reality, Ritchie is
not strong for theatrical tours. He
was behind the fOotIights for several
months, but only because the coin
came in easily. He has no laundering
to be an actor.
It is just possible that Richie
didn't have full confidence in him
self before that Rivers battle and put
off fighting as long as possible to
keep his title secure. Now he knows
he can whip the best of them.
This belief is borne out by recent
statements from the champ. He says
he may fill few vaudeville engage
ments at theaters which are showing
p4OIu4 CD VI LID 4CCCuL ILL., OuI LALoL
he will sign no contract for a pro-
lOnged tour. Instead, he promises a
winter of activity in the ring, start
ing Labor Day or Thanksgiving.
Offers are pouring IN on him, the
most tempting being from VancoUV-
eT, where he is offered so per cent
of the gate and an even split on the
picture privileges to meet Freddie
Welsh. Richie has wired an answer
calling for the promoters highest
guarantee, not caring, to take a
chance on the percentage game in
a city like Vancouver.
An offer to box Leach Cross and
Harlem Tommy Murphy ten rounds
in New York in August has been
turned down by Ritchie, who claims
it is too hot in the metropolis for
fighting. He intimated that he would
