The story Of an almost miraculous

stood for the paroxysms OF sneezing
at each tee until the fourth tee was
reached. Then. as he stepped up to
drive, he turned to the hay fever vic

The open championship victory OF

made his name one to cOnjure with in

Richie Changes Training System.
Ritchie, on American soil again,
| took up a brand new scheme of physical
culture, having as its basis the stretch
| ing Of the muscles. tendons, ligaments
and other cords He increased his con-
troll of his arms and feet, added to his
hitting power, accelerated his speed
and built up his endurance to an amaZ-
ing degree As soon as he was ready
he announced himself as DESTROYS OF
tackling Welsh in a return combat. The
wish was fulfilled and they clashed in
Madison Square Garden, New York,
last March.
Last Fight Was Vicious.
As on the two preceding occasions.
the third bout between the hated rivals
found Richie on the aggressive. But
in relation to his aggressiveness this
time, his previous bouts showed him
tame in comparison He was a verit-
able tiger in the last conflict At the
tap OF the gong he flew from his corner
like an enraged beast and tore full
tilt after Welsh throughout the open
ing round Trying to get the jump
on Welsh" Opined the ringsiders- The
second round was the same, Richie
chasing the Englishman at full speed all
the way Now he'll begin to settle
down into a steady pace and just pro-
tect his lead" thought nearly every
spectator. He didn't. The third round
was the same, also the fourth round,

Richie KeDt Coming.
Hell blow up sure at this rate" said
Richie was trying for a knockout.
That was plain. Only the remarkable
defensive tactics of the Briton enabled
him TO weather the storm IF he
doesn't get Welsh this round it's all
off" declared the man up front
Welsh was still there when the sixth
was over. and according to general
opinion was about due to begin turn
ing the tide, for Richie had fought
such a battle that he figured to be about
all in. The Yankee pursued the Briton
again in the seventh The eighth and
ninth were the same, and the tenth
was even more Of a wild assault on
Rftchie's part Welsh realized his de-
feat by the time the tenth began and
tried a bit OF rushing himself
Ritchie met him at evedy step and
gave him a fearful beating Welsh's
sole idea from start to finish was ap-
parent-to keen from being knocked (
out for there was no way he could
lose his title in that bout except /
through a haymaker. Ritchies sole Z
idea was to land that haymaker, AMI /
he put all he had into every punch I

the biggest crowds in recent years is
