ASCENT
VERY RAPID
SEVEN YEARS AGO HE WAS pRlv.
ING TRUCK, BUT NOW He
TURNS DOWN AN OFFER OF
$4,000 FOR A FEW HOURS WORK
IN THE RING.

Say, it's just great to be a champion
boxer. Isn't 1t? Seven years ago
Willie Richie was a teamster in the
employ of his father. Last week he
refused an offer of sic, 600 to fight
either Wolgast, Rivers or Murphy at
San Francisco ON July 4.
Can you beat that? He refused
the offer because he says it is not
big enough. He expects to get more
than a paltry $4,000 for q 10-round
Farland or Joe Rivers.
lie and Nolan laughed at an offer
OF $4,000 for a bout in New Orleans
with Joe ManGot. a
While Richie was driving a truck
1t occurred to him he would not get
very far. He was ambitious and he
wanted to make a name for himself.
That's how the prize ring got d new
lightweight champion.
Ritchie installed Jimmy Britt as
his model. He watched Britt while
training, watched him in the ring,
ever If the new champ did have to
sit on the cross bars of a telegraph
pole and followed Britt on the street.
Ritchie thought Britt the most won
derful of all boxers, and copied his
style and blows.
He engaged in about fifty amateur
bouts before he turned professional.
Then he defeated such stars as
WEIGH, Young Erne and Joe Mandot.
Richie says his pursuit of AID VOL
CASTS title was no stronger than his
efforts to get Billy Nolan to handle
him. He succeeded in both.

ject of the training and racing of trot-
ting horses a special study and is
qualified to render expert opinion.
I don't expect to see a trotter do
better than 1857, at least not in my
time" said Kline. THE two minute
mark has withstood the assault of
all but a few trotters and l expect
to see very few If any slip under the
wire with q better mark than Uhlan's.
Changed training conditions and
improved equipment helped the two
minute trotter. Trainers, track build
ers and sulky manufacturers cannot
do much more to aid the trotting
horse. It will be up to the trotters
themselves to create new records.
See how long the record of Sal
vator, the peer of all %gaIlopers, has
stood. That record OF 1851 has
stood for years and will probably
stand for years to come. When some
trotter hangs up a mark of 1857, l
figure the tretters will have q tough
record to shoot ALL"

ROLES Big DEAL
He Loans SIS to a Stranger and Gets
a Diamond" Rinu and Fountain
Pen as Security.

Joe Rolfe, clerk of the Annex hotel,
has a ring and fountain pen that he
will sell at a very small price.
Yesterday evening he was at his
duties behind the counter of the
hostelry when a we'll dressed young
man came in and calling him by name
asked the loan of a five spot. AS he
did not know the young man at first
Mr.. Rolfe demurred.
But after the stranger told that he
was in one of the stores of the city;
that he knew Joe very well, and that
he would put up his insignia ring in
the center of which was apparently a
diamond and that he would also put
up a fancy looking fountain pen, tho
clerk drew the IS and 1t was soon IN
the pocket of the stranger who left.
This morning Mr.. Rolfe found that
the. ring could be bought in dozen
lots at so cents for the twelve and
that the fountain pen was marked
down from 20 cents to 10 cents, he adj
mitted that his experience in hotel
life isn't so extensive as Doc Young's
over at the Waldorf, on whom the
same fellow tried the same dodge
earlier in the evening.

TO FIGHT THE SUBMARINE
French Hydro -Aeroplane Fails
as an Aerial Scout.

London, Feb. 1.-The French gov
eminent has recently been conducting
some experiments to learn the availa-
bility of the aeroplane as an agent of
defence against submarines. The ex-
periments were conducted off Toulon,
where for two days submarines at
tackled the Foudre, the parent ship of
the naval aeroplanes.
The submarines operated thirty feet
below the surface, while Naval Lieu
tenant Du Caylar circled over the bay
in naval hydro-aeroplane. He was
not able once to observe the approach
Of a submarine.
The experiments will be continued,
but the test SO far is considered to be
distinct proof Of the value of the
submarine in war.
