flowers, shrubs and eyergreens in the
yards can only be seen by peeping

Lightweight Champion Is Just a
Pound Over Notch He Will
Make for WoIgast,
By Sol Pick

n HICAGO, March 11.-Willie
Richie went through his pub
- lie weighing performance, as
advertised yesterday afternoon at
OConnelrs. 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
saf on them so that he knew just
where he stood before he requested
he champion of the lightweights to-
ron an the Fairbanks platform. After
adjusting things and taking a careful
so1int he announced that Ritchie was
within an ounce or so of SO pounds
This means that yesterday, at
o'clock. the Californian was but a
Mound over the notch that he must
make for Ad Wolgast at o'clock
tomorrow evening in Milwaukee. It
convinced all present that the weight
or this ten-round scrap will be
simple matter for the boss of the
class.
DtTCHIE decided to give this pub
IN lie Weighing to convince doubtful
parties that he is a real lightweight
that is. a fellow who can do 1873
pounds ringside if he so wishes. But
We fear he did not convince them all,
al that. The scaling took place after
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 we'll 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 n
hauling 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 il
would he too big chance for q
Champion to take. He'll be whole
lot better at 1885 pounds at 6, that's a
certainty If he was positive he could
make 1873 and do himself Justice he
would try that very thing, just to 81
ance his maligners
HOWEVER. Willie's all right, He's

n BOUT the only thing to write
X about these days is about two
thirds of column about the
spring practice at Ponce DeLeon.
The news of the Crackers, from a
strictly news standpoint. can be COM
pressed to the size of a three grain

ers still are in the hangover. Joe
Dunn is here Bill has purchased a
new pitcher named Hamilton. Jen-

Hedgepeth has blown the universe, so
far as can be learned.
And there you have the news, to
which might be added the announce
ment that there is practice from 10 to
IL o'clock in the a. m. and matinees
in the p m.
OF course. If you want some com
- ment we can go into the practice.
We went out there yesterday, and
there was a crowd that would have
stacked up as a respectable week
DAY attendance, watching the noble
athletes uncreaking their joints. Ii
really seemed a pity that somebody
wasn't getting from two to four bits
per capita on the attendance. In that
case, however, most of it probably
would not have attended. Which In
duces the reflection that it all breaks
even in the long run, as Mr.. G. W.
Emerson puts it.
TT was a big practice crowd and the
i workout was the worst yet. IL
looked worse than it really was. be-
cause the other workouts had been
so blamed good.

Our own private opinion was that
toggle- joint or two may have been
squeaking as the result of the rapid
fire practice of the several days pre-
vious, and that may have had some
thing to do with Artie Schwinds eX-
