James W. Coffroth admitted here today
that all hope of bringing Willie Richie
and Freddie Welsh together in a 30
rand bout in San Francisco before the
anti.boxing amendment becomes effec-
tive, had vanished. And he flatly de-
clared that the greediness of Ritchie
was responsible.
I'm through with Ritchie," said
Coffroth, I" for all time. He came to
me and asked that match be arranged
with Freddie Welsh. Then after good
progress had been made he declared he
would not box Welsh unless | granted
him guarantee of $500, which con.
sidered out of the question. .o
Ritchie kept away from Coffroth y
office yesterday. When asked why he
had not called on the promoter, Richie
answered..
A proposition was made to me to
fight Welsh. | did not think there was
enough money in sight and refused the
offer Cufroth sent word to me that
/ was to have a certain amount of time
in which to think over the proposition,
