Richie and Murphy
Likely to Meet on
Thanksgiving Day

All indications point to a 20 round
meeting between lightweight cham
pion Willie Ritchie and challenger
Tommy Murphy in DAILY City on
Thanksgiving afternoon. Promoter
Jim Coffroth wants the match and
Harry Foley, representing the cham
pion, all but agreed to II last evening.
Foley ia behalf of Ritchie aske
that the weight be set for 1S5 pounds.
ringside. Coffroth on the other hand
wants the champion TO make l35
pounds, claiming that this has been
the standard lightweight mark for
so long that the sporting world will
refuse to accept the other.
Then they had an argument as TO
the merits of the two weight classi-
fieations. Foley delved into ancient
history in his endeavor to show the
promoter that Cans. Erne. Lavigne
and other great lightweights of the
past came in at 135 pounds and that
Ritchie was simply following in their
footsteps. According to Foley. the
1873 pound fashion was set by Nelson
and that it is not in accordance with
the Marquis of Queensbury rules.
1t is understood that Coffroth will
give Ritchie $4,000 for his end win.
lose or draw This is $4,000 less than
but nevertheless it is a fortune. and
The chances are that the little title
holder has come to the conclusion that
there is no chance for him to get any
more money out Of any other pro-
moter.
1t is known that Murphy will gladly
jump at any chance to meet Ritchie
and that Coffroth is practically en-
powered to go right ahead and sign
him up. The rest is up to the cham
pion himself. and according to his
present attitude. it looks as though
he will meet the Harlemite on the
next big holiday date.
In the meantime Ritchie will leave
for New York on Thursday morning.
He believes that his 10 round match
with Leach Cross early next month is
on and he also says that he is liable to
take another one either in Gotham or
in Milwaukee before he returns home.
These depend upon the terms offered.
Jimmy Rohan, manager of Joe Aza-
vedo. announced yesterday that Tom
McCarey, the Los Angeles promoter
had signed his lad for meeting with
Tommy Murphy or Leach Cross in the
southern city next month.

lighting end of the game and is
now managing Young Saylor, the
lightweight. Let's hope that he
makes a better manager than he
did a fighter.

T REDDIE WELSH may be the
lightweight champion, all
right, but. in the meantime,
Willie Ritehie is going to take off
the big money as the regular fell

lToW, it is Conroth's plan to
bring ont McGoorty or Glib
bons or Klaus and match
either one of this trio with the
man who is returned victorious in
the next big ring battle here.
This is a good plan. and II Cof-
froth has the patience and a fair
run of good luck, it is barely pos
sibie that the disputed question
among the middle weights will be
decided by fair year. anyhow.
