Ritchie- Murphy Go
Has Been Set Back;
Boxers Clash Jan. 80

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-Once
again Champion Richie has been
compelled to resort to the rest cure
and the bout with Tommy Murphy
has been put over another week.
The first postponement was due to
an abscess forming in Willies nose.
This time he has strained his achilles
tendon while doing road work and
his throbbing heel has laid him on
his back. The contest which was to
have taken place on January 20 has
been dated afresh for January 80
and in the meantime the forfeit each
boxer was required to furnish at the
making of the match has been in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
Jim Buckley, manager of Tommy
Murphy is SO stunned at the way
fate is making a football of the Har-
lem lightweight that he has scarcely
a word to say lie swears, however,
that sun spots will never appeal to
him as forerunners of mundane hap
penings until they predict the disas-
ters that will befall Champion Richie
while training.
AT that 1t might have been worse,
said Buckley. Fancy II his Maginnis
tandem had gone back on him the
night before the fight the way his
nose did"

QUIT VOL JOBS
President and Manager Likely to
Withdraw for Sake of Peace
in Club.
NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA
" President Hirsig and Manager
Schwartz are both likely to
resign their offices within the next
few days, thereby bringing about
peace in the camp of the Nashville
club. At present it looks as though
the only way success can come to the
Vols is by both Withdrawing.
At a meeting of the stockholders Of
the Nashville baseball club, held here
last night, the friends of President
Hirsig controlled and elected a board
of directors with a majority favorable
to the president. The board of di-
rectors took no action as to electing a
president and manager, but will hold
a meeting within the next few days
for that purpose,
1t is understood that q harmonious
basis will be reached by the probable
resignation of President Hirsig and
the selection of another manager
rather than Bill Schwartz.
Chancellor Allison yesterday after
noon dissolved an injunction secured
by William G. Schwartz, manager Of
the local be seball club, preventing
President w. G.. Hirsig from voting
26 shares of stock of the association
at the annual meeting here Tuesday
night It was shown that President
Hirsig had rIghtfully purchased the
stock from DR.. w 3. Lee and that
he had been voting 1t for the past
eight months. Chancellor Allison held
that the injunction granted Mr.
Schwartz was invalid.

No, indeed 1t was simply thrust
upon me. Practically every big vaude

me to appear before the footlights
and, while ! did not care much for
stage work, still ! did not want TO
pass up all that money.
1t was all right for the first couple

Rivers and Wolgast
Argue Over Weight

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-There is a
merry little argument on between AID
Wolgast and Joe Rivers over the
weighing-in time for their ten-round
battle to be staged in Milwaukee on
January 90. Each has agreed to do
1873 pounds, but the Mexican wants to
get on the scales at o'clock in the

to be on edge.
This may sound strange, but it is
very true. You see, one part of my
act was to challenge the local cham
pion for an exhibition bout. They
used to fight among themselves for a
chance to get at me.
OF course, everybody knows how
the aspiring boxers like to go after
the title holder on the stage, espe-
cially when they believe he is out OF

the ring. Anybody who thinks that
stage work for a fighter with plenty
