Former American Lightweight

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S-WilIie Ritch'e.
former lightweight champion OF tta

ton, will meet in a tcn-round bout at
Madison Square Garden tonight.
Articles of agreement call for a battle

of course. because neither is welter
champion. There is no recognized
wclter champion. THIS class seems TO
have fallen more or less into disrepute
of late years. There were not sufficient
good boys of the proper poundage II
maintain interest in the division.
Though no championship is at stake
in tonights contest the scrap should so
far TO clear the welter atmosphere. =
knockout for either man would put him
in sufficient favor with the public to cs-
Ia blish championship claims, provided he
could stand off the present limited crop
of l42-pound men. Ritchie and Lewis
have declared that in case of decisive
victory the winner will claim the welter
against the field.
1t would be hard to have to provide
two better men at the weight. Both
have outgrown the lightweight division
though RitChie will not admit the fact
in his case-and for this match have
built up rather than trained down.
Wherefore both should be strong. either
to deliver a telling blow or to weather
the same.

BRITISH GOLFERS

Great Players Decide Not to
Visit United States Until the

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-George Duncan,
the professional golfer of the Hanger
Hill Club. stated today that he does not
intend arranging another American tour
during the coming season for the pur-
pose of turning the net receipts over to
benefit the war relief funds. Duncan
said also that it is very unlikely Harry

Mid-Surrey: Edward Ray. Oxhey, or
James Braid. Walton Heath. will accept
any engagements TO play exhibition
games outside of Great Britain until
the war Is over.
Only for the torpedoing of the LusI-
tania, on which they had booked pas
sage. Duncan. Taylor, Nardon, and Ray
would have taken part in the last open
championship of the United States Golf
Association. They resolved at that
time to stay in England and do their
Bit" whatever 1t should happen to be.
until the end OF the war. Many of their
fellow-professionals have Joined the col
ors. and several already have fallen.
and. according to Duncan. there is no
possibility of any of the accepted lead
ers of the British golfng world going
back ntheir work or shirking their
responsibilities to go to America ever
for the purpose OF collecting money to
swell the relief funds.
