Great Players Decide Not to

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-deorge Duncan.

- NEW YORK. Dec. eS.-Willie Ritch'e.
former lightweight champion of tts

class championship. II is no such thing.
of course. because neither is welter
champion. There is no recognized
welter 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 1t stake
in tonight's contest the scrap should go
far 10 clear the welter atmosphere. A
knockout for either man would put him
in sufficient favor with the public TO es-
tablish championship claims, provided he
could stand OF the present limited crop
of 142-pound men. Ritchie and Lewis
have declared that in case OF decisive
victory the winner Will claim the welter
title and stand ready to maintain the
presumption against tho deld. ,..
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.

IN BOUT SQUABBLE
Sporting Men Believe Whole
Affair Is to Get Country TO
Know Fulton. 81

The skilled hand Of the irrepressIble
press agent Is being shown in the un-
expected squabble over the proposed
Jess Willard-Fred Fulton bout, to have
been staged at New Orleans on March
T. All around the country sporting men
are trying to make Fulton known TO the
fans before stacking him up against the
worlds heavyweight champion. Whether
the plan will succeed or fail will not
be seen for several weeks.
Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee pro-
moter. is on his way to New Orleans,
hoping to carry out the contract he has
with Tortorich and Burns for the ar
rangement Of the bout between Fulton
and Willard. p
"The New Orleans promoters author
lzed me to sign Fulton 70 meet VIII
lard and ] cannot understand the re-
cent turn Of affairs in connection with
the match" says Andrews. Moran had
an opportunity to sign articles to meet
willard before Fulton was signed.
Furthermore, Moran also had a chance
to meet Fulton before March and still
has such proposition confronting him
provided the New Orleans promoters
have no objection.
''When / signed for Fulton to meet
willard / did 80 on behalf OF his man
aRer, Mike Collins, apd ut the request
Of the New Orleans club. The match
which Fulton has entered into has
prevented him from taking on other
contests which would net him a neat

the trip South to clear TIP the tangled
situation

promoter. insists on backing out OF the
affair, unless Fulton .irst meets the
