RICHIE WEIGHS

Pound Over Notch He Will
Make for WoIgast,
Bv Sol Pick

* HICAGO, March 11.-Willie
Richie went through his pub
lie weighing performance, as
advertised. yesterday afternoon at
O'Connelrs, before a gymnasium full
of fans. Kid Howard acted as mas
ter Of ceremonies. He tried two or
three sets of scales by weighing him
self on them so that he knew just
where he stood before he requested
the champion of the lightweights to
ron on the Fairbanks platform. After
adiusting things and taking a careful
sauint. he announced that Richie was
within an ounce or so of 1856 pounds.
This means that yesterday, at
o'clock, the Californian was but
Dound over the notch that he must
make for Ad Wolgast at o'clock
tomorrow evening in Milwaukee. 1t
convinced all present that the weight
or this ten round scrap will be
simple matter for the boss of the
class.
DITCHIE decided to give this pub
IN lie weighing to convince doubtful
parties that he is real lightweight

pounds ringside if he so wishes But
we fear he did not convince them all,
al that The scaling took place after
a spin on the road in the morning,
plenty of gym work in the afternoon
and five rounds of boxing, three with
Willie Schafer and two with the
pudgy Eddie Tancel.
The champion looked pretty big
and also like a man who would not
feel any too well if he took off three
more pounds. He denied that he
dried out during the day and re-
Trained from eating, claiming that the
1876 pounds was his natural weight
after a week of serious work for the
fight But we imagine that the tall
champion, if scaling 1873 at gong time,
would closely resemble a dried her
ring and would feel none too tough
and strong if stacked up against
mauling demon of the Wolgast type.
He could make 1873 all right, but he
would weaken himself. Possibly he
could go along for ten rounds with
Wolgast at that notch, but he would
not know himself until he got in the
ring how good he would be, so 1t
would be too big chance for a
champion to take. He'll be a whole
lot better at l50 POUNDS at b. tnat
certainty. If he was positive he could
make 1873 and do himself justice he
would try that very thing, just to si-
ienCe his maligners.
HOWEVER, Willies all right. He's
II a grand scrapper and a worthy
champion. It's simply a case Of take
a pound or two with him, and cham
pjons have been doing this for ages.
Erne, Cans and Lavigne were pounds
bigger than Willie in some OF their
championship fights.
