MllWduKee, WIS, Mafcn 1l.--All
roads for fight fans now lead to this
city, where the most promising bout
of the year is to be staged tomorrow
night with Lightweight Champion
Willie Richie and former Champion
Ad Wolgast as the principals. The
fight is expected to show whether
Richie has gone back as a result of
his many months Of comparative idle
ness and If Wolgast has come back,
Jas his good showing in his recent bout
with Joe Rivers would seem to indi-
cate.
1t is now more than four months
since Champion Ritchie has been seen
in the ring. His last battle was a no
decision affair with Leach Cross in
New York on November TO- Imme-
diately after the fight with Cross the
champion went to California to full
fill an engagement to box ten rounds
with Tommy Murphy This bout was
scheduled for December 10, but few
days before that date Ritchie devel-
oped an abscess Of the nose and the
bout was adjourned until January.
Then Ritchie was incapacitated by an
other slight accident and the 60 with
Murphy was called off.
Many critics are of the opinion that
Wolgast has come back and will give
Ritchie a surprisingly hard battle.
They point to his showing against Joe
Rivers as conclusive proof Many
other close followers Of the game,
while not caring to venture a predic-
tion of Wolgast victory, are of the
opinion that the former champion
will be able to stay the ten rounds.
The Ritchie supporters, on the other
hand, believe that Wolgast win have
no chance against the champion. They
declare that Richie has improved
since he defeated Wolgast and coppedI
the title in the battle at DAILY City on
November %, 1912. He has the ad-
vantage over WoIgast In the matter
Of. age and the confidence that comes
of holding the championship. They
admit Wolgast's cleverness and his
ability to deliver a telling blow, but
they are Of the opinion that he Is no
longer able to Withstand the punish
1aent that he could assimilate few
PEARS back.
n At their respective training camps
the two fighters were reported today
20 be in excellent shape for the bat
tle. Wolgast has kept himself in good
trim by his frequent bouts and needed
no severe training to get into shape
for tomorrow nights contest. Ritchie
has been training faithfully since he,
arrived from. the west ten days ago
and has succeeded in taking off the
surplus flesh. ii
Tlefight will take place in the new
stadium which win seat 10000 spec
tators. Promoter Tom Andrews be-
lieves that every seat will be filled
when he gong calls the fighters into
the ring. Special trains will bring
big delegations Of fight fans from Chi
cago. other delegations are coming
from pdnts throughout Wisconsin, n \

The following open letter" has
been sent to Secretary William b.
Wilson OF the department OF labor
at Washington:
by virtue OF your present office.
charged with the interests of the Ia
boring man, and further. by reason
OF the responsible position that you
SO long held in the service OF or
ganized labor. you are the man that
above all others ought to be appeal
ed TO In the present condition in
Colorado.
"As citizens OF that state. voicing.
we believe. the sentiments of a
large majority of our fellow citizens.
we appeal to you to put forth all of
the great influence that is centered
in you to cause the strike in the
Colorado Coal nelde to be called on.
In making a request that affects
SO many men, reasons should be
presented We submit in the first
place that the success Of the strike
was very doubtful from the begin
ming Less than one-quarter Of the
miners belonged to the union.
Those who did not were 50 far
contented with conditions that they
could not be expected to join the
strike-at least the result proves
that to be the case. In reality. there
has been no general strike. because
many men-in the neishborhood Of
1o.oob-have been regularly employ
ed all through the times Of disturb
ance. and the state has been contin-
uously supplied with near its nor
NAL quantity OF coal
'It should be called of because
OF the many acts of violence tina;
have accompanied II. You yourself
have doubtless observed that moth
ing more quickly dissipates the
sympathy of the public than unpro
voked violence.
An imperfect account shows
about seventy-six violent deaths
most OF them unprovoksd murders
in connection with this strike. To
these are to be added countless
cases OF assault and OF wanton des
truction Of property.
In other strikes the leaders have
been able more or less successfully
TO disclaim the responsibility OF theu
selves and OF the union for the
acts OF violence. Here there az.
pears to be no thought that such
deeds are even matters for apology
Such an attitude reflects upon the
union. and any true friend OF the
working man should depiore violence
as standing in the way of an honor
able settlement.
"A third reason why the strike
should be called on is the bad faith
OF those in charge OF It. When Il
became necessary to call out tbs
troops 1t was demanded that both
strikers and mine guards should b
disarmed. The guards did so IN
good faith and practically. all OF
them left the country.
"A like good faith does not ap-
pear to have been shown by the str
ers. They gave up a comparatively
few worthless arms but hid the good
ones Then wheu almost all of fA.
