NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
RITCHIE Hopes TO beat
welsh BY A KNOCKOUT
Former lightweight Champion Hopes
to Regain Title In Ten-Round Bout
in New York To-night-Both Are
Confident Of Victory

New York. March 11.-Willie Rit.
chie, former lightweight champion of
the world, hopes to regain the title by
knockout tonight when he meets
Freddie Welsh in ten.round battle at
Madison Square Garden. Willie's one
and only hope of reannexing the crown
is in landing knockout blow.
If the mill goes the limit there
seems to be little chance of the Cali.
fornian coming out in front. Welsh is
considered the most marvellous defen-
sive lightweight that ever lived. Welsh
undoubtedly is not as good now as
when he won the title from Ritehie on
July I. last year, in London. but it is
doubtful if Willie is as good as he was
then.
Ritchie believes he is going to stop
Welsh. He declares that he has a
"hunch" that he is going to win by q
knockout and he is confident. He de-
elares he will go after the Englishman
from the very start and never stop
flaying away with both hands.
'Welsh will find me hitting harder
and straighter than when he was pre-
sented with the title Ritchie said
last night. ~ ii force the pace so fast
and hard that he will tire along about
the seventh or eigth round, and when
he tires his guard will surely lower 1t
is then that | intend to send over the
Knockout punch that will give me back
the title l was robbed of in London. -
From oceanport, Welsh telephoned
late yesterday afternoon:
I'M, IN
fans that clearly defeated Ritchie for
the title. If there is any knockout, it
will be yours truly who will land the
blow. l made Ritchie dog ii in Lon
don and II do it again tonight, too. F"
The men are making 1876 pounds at
? O'Clock in the afternoon. 1t will be
q grudge affair. Welsh has never for
gotten how he was forced to fight for
nothing, not even training expenses
for the struggle that won for him the
crown, and Ritchie will never believe
otherwise than he was ''jobbed" out
of the championship

Independents Expect Victory Over
Eastern Leaguers

The Harrisburg Independents are in
trim for their game with Camden of
the Eastern League Saturday night.
The Camden team is coming to Harris
burg with the intention of avenging
the defeat which the Independents
handed to them earlier in the season.
Silvertop Adams will be included in
the lineup as well as Steele, who gave
such an interesting exhibition in Har-
risburg. The game will be called at s
o. clock and will be followed by the
usual dance and another interesting
exhibition of the modern dances will
be given by l.. P. Dickey and Miss
Marie Boileau.
After a great deal of trouble the
management of the Independents have
arranged to have the Jasper team of
the Eastern League appear in Harris,
burg on Tuesday night, March 2S.
This attraction will be an interesting
one as it is the first chance that basket
ball fans have had to see this team as
they do not play exhibition games.
