round bout at Madison Square Garden
tonight. Articles Of agreement call for
a battle at ice pounds ringsid the le-

- This exhibition has been billed as a
class championship. 1t Is no such thing
Of course, because neither Is welter

champion. This class seems to nave fallen
more or less into disrepute OF late years
There were not sufficient good boys OF

In the division.
Though no championship IL at stake
in to-night's contest the scrap should go
far to clear the weitcr atmosphere. A
knockout for either man would pu. him
In sufficient favor with the public to es-
tablish championship claims, provided he
could stand off the present limited crop
OF l&2 pound men. Richie and Lewis
have declared that In case OF decisive

presumption against tho held.
II would be hard to hard to provide
two better men at the weight. Both
nave outgrown the lightweight division
though Ritchle 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.

appearance as n weller, though In his
recent so-cailed lightweight battles under

he has been able to scale pounds over
