shake off a straight right to the face.
Freddie came back with a hook to the
jaw, but the Frisco boy was fighting
harder and better than ever. He sent a
straight left to the jaw, followed by a
right to the stomach, and forced the
fighting all the way. Toward the end
of the period he again was cautioned
for holding, but on the break kept up
continuous bombardment on Welsh's
chest.
Sixth Round-When they squared
away for this round Ritchie's left eye
was slightly swollen, while Welsh also
had a bump over the left optic, and
the American kept playing for this eye.
Welsh lodged long wing aimed for
the face and retaliated with three
rights to Ritchie's right eye. The home
boys footwork was all that could be
asked and he stepped around his op-
ponent. His blows, however, seemed
to have less steam than the title hold
er.
Seventh Round-Ritcliie held back
and tried to make Welsh force the mill

der cover. with the result that half the
round passed before a blow was struck.
fighting again, and he got in two sting
ing blows to the face. Welsh respond
ed with a "one, two" attack, but the
visitor covered and the round ended in
his favor.
Eighth Round-The work of both
fighters thus far HAD been very con-
slant and sharp. Most of the fighting
had been body fighting, ending in
clinches. Welsh appeared to be begin
ming to husband his strength in the
cIinches. He then put on more steam
and gave the American one good body
blow. Welsh seemed fresher at the
end than at the beginning of the round.
Ninth round-Welsh forced the fight
ing, opening with a left to the face, an
operation which he quickly repeated.
Ritchie's blows continually fell short
while Welsh. setting a furious pace, got
in several blows to the body and got
the best of the infighting. This was
Welsh's round by big margin.
Tenth Round-Welsh started to force
the fighting, scoring repeatedly on
Ritchie'S jaw. He then eluded one of
the champions famous rights, stepping
inside the blow and at the same time
scoring numerous rights and let's to
Willie's face. Ritchie's blows were
still falling short and he seemed unable
to cope with the visitors many styles.
Welsh had the better of the round and
the fight up to date.
Eleventh Round-WeIsh came up
strong and again started using his left,
which proved effective, for he continu-
ally reached his rivals face While tie
blows lacked steam, they had the Cali
fornian up in the air and he did not
know which way TO turn. Richie kept
starting his famous right only TO con
meet with air and was worried. The
fighting was hard and fast, but Ritchie
seemed to be regaining some of his
ginger toward the close IF the session.
Twelfth Round-Welsh scored a left
hook on Ritchie's neck. Richie re-
peatedly led out hard left-handers. but
Welsh was always too quick for them.
The Welshman scored three or four
punches in this round, but they seemed

WON GLORY BUT
LOST HIS CASH
Davenport Auto Racers Forced
to Settle on Basis of 40
Cents on Dollar.

Racers who won prizes in the con-
tests at the Davenport mile track Sat
urday and Sunday have been settled
with on the basis of 40 cents on the
dollar. President ]. Reed Lane of the
Davenport Auto club closed up the
matter after w. H. Horn, the promoter,
had left the city. There was $3.50 left
out of the gate receipts to pay $500 in
prizes.
The total receipts for the two days
were S1,711 and expenses for advertis-
ing and incidentals took most of the
cash. Horn did not get anything, Mr.
Lane says. When 1t was apparent
that the races were not going to be a
financial success the promoter is said
to have brought his expensive auto
mobile from Davenport to Rock Island,
leaving it here till he left these parts.
1t is probable that no more races will
be permitted at the mile track unless
the prize money is posted in advance.

SINKING of the CASPIAN Sea.

Biologists claim that the Caspian
sea is continually sinking. known to
all schoolboys as the largest interior
body of water in the world, the Cas-
plan is about $50 miles in greatest
length and $50 miles in extreme width
Its area is estimated to be 10000
square miles, while the area of Eng
land and Wales is $4,000 odd square
miles. These figures give a clear idea
of the size of the Caspian. Notwith-
standing its size, parts of the sea are
very shallow. In the southern portions,
however, a depth of over 5000 feet
has been registered. Our physical
geography tells us that the present sea
is part of a vast oceanic water which
at one time extended to the Arctic
ocean.-Westminst Gazette.

Story of Welsh-Ritchie Fight By Rounds

London, July S.-The following de-
tailed story of the rounds shows how
Richie often forced the fighting and
how blow after blow was showered on
Welsh only to have the latter come
back for more:
First Round-Welsh won the toss
and kept the corner he originally en-
tered. Freddie got in a few blows in
the bell and Richie responded with a
straight left to the jaw. Infghting fol-
lowed, with Welsh getting the better
of the argument. When they squared
off, however, Richie delivered several
body blows.
Second Round-Ritchie was first to
lead, swinging a hard right, which
Welsh skillfully lodged, Freddie com
ing back with several lightning jabs to
the face. Richie walked into clinch
and was cautioned by the referee for
holding. During the infighting that
followed Welsh's arms worked like
piston rods and he got in some vicious
jabs. He was working on the Ameri-
cans kidneys and red blotches testi-
fed to their effectiveness.
Third Round-Ritchie opened with a
left swing, but in a clinch Welsh land
ed on the body in close quarters. The
Englishman got in a couple of jabs,
Richie retaliating with a left to the
jaw Welsh followed with a right to
the same spot The round ended with
Welsh landing lightly on the face.
Richie was again cautioned for hold
ing.
Fourth Round - Welsh puzzled
Richie by changing his attack and
playing for the body and the Yankee
went into close quarters. In the
clinch Welsh hooked Richie three
times to the jaw and on the break let
go a right swing which caught the
champion on the point of the chin.
Little damage was done. The Wales
speeder appeared much the fresher of
the two and he was smiling broadly
when the bell sounded. Richie was
worried and his seconds worked hard
over him during the minutes rest.
Fifth Round-Ritchie rushed across
the ring and Welsh barly had time to

Thirteenth Round-Ritchie smart

Fourteenth Round-The American

man nervous. After a clinch and

blows. Richie pushed the fighting and
appeared stronger, for he forced Welsh
all over the ring. The latter covered
well and was too quick for his oppon-
ent
Eighteenth Round-Welsh's left jab
brought blood from Ritchie's lip. The
battle resolved itself into an exhibition
of speed against strength, and the
Welshman got little the best of 1t. He
