Willie HAS
BAD LUCK
Possibility That Richie Will
Quit Ring Game; Ringside
Notes. .

Unlucky Willie Richie, SO the story
comes floating from the East, is short
ly to wend his way from Gotham
coastward to spend the summer
months, and, perhaps, just perhaps, to
quit the boxing game for good. When
he went to New York city last fall
there was every indication that
Richie would do mighty we'll from a
financial standpoint and that, of
course, is what chiefly concerns the
modern scrappers.
Willie accepted a couple of minor
engagements that he might get him
self into the best Of condition, anc
then set his sails for a bout with
Ted Lewis, the English crack, who
was stirring matters up, pugilistically,
about that time.
The San franciscan was to have
been guaranteed a fat sum of money
for the Lewis bout, but just about
the time he was ready for the engage
ment it was discovered that in train
ing he had fractured rib, not severe
ly, but sufficiently to call for rest.
.Sorely disappointed, Richie took a
layoff Of five or six weeks, spending
the time in Florida, where he golfed,
danced and otherwise whiled away his
hours of freedom.
Then Willie returned to New York.
First of all he accepted a minor
match in Chattanooga as a starter and
then edged his way back to the city
of all cities, where he was billed to
take on an unknown in the Bronx.
1t was more a publicity campaign than
anything else. Richie trained faith
fully from all accounts, but discov-
cred again to his disappointment that
the rib had not mended
A trip to the doctor revealed the
fact that it was not a broken rib
this time, but instead a strained
muscle that was at fault. The physi-
clan, so goes the story, has advised
Willie that he will neel to remain
quiet for three or four months
His Eastern campaign has 1een any
thing but success financially and
now that the summer Is coming on,
Richie figures to return home and
| put in at least q couple of month Of
motoring ,hrnoe, out the state and
possibly to Portland.

From Baltimore comes the report
that Xii Williams and his old man
ager, Sammy Harris, have agreed to
disagree and have split. Sammy re-
fuses to discuss the matter.
The split came, it is understood,
after an argument between the two
men over some future fight Williams,
it is said, grew very wroth over the
matter and gave Sammy Harris to
understand that he was through with
him.

French Before st. Quentin.
The French are now ii front OF the
village Of Mount st. Quentin, situated
on an elevation 800 feet from the point
of which, in 1870, the Germans bonn
barded Parron.
The German second positions had
been so demolished that they were un-
able to make a strong resistance ex-
cept at the village at Hem, which had
been fortified. By hard fighting the
village was won as well as Monacu
farm, to the southwest.
Last night was generally quiet north
and south of the river Somme, says
today's official statement Of the war
office.
There were few local engagcm ents
north Of the Somme during the night,
during which the Germans captured
two small woods north Of Hem. The
French also captured a wood
South of the Somme the night
passed in quiet. A German counter at
tack on Bellot was repulsed easily.
The French have captured seventy

There was no infantry fighting on
the Verdun front. The Germans are
attempting to lombard the cathedral
at Verdun.
The Germans are beginning to re-
act more vigorously as reserves ar

Rather than retire to Jimtnex with.

Fought Twelve Hours.
The Carranza troops were surrounds
ed Monday at daybreale and for more
than twelve hours held their position
against repeated attacks. Odds against
the defenders were heavy but they
stuck to their guns in the hope that
reinforcements soon would arrive.
At nightfall. after their leader had
been killed and the greater part Of the
command killed or wounded the sur
vivors retired to Jim:nez carrying their
wounded with them. Three times dur
ing the day the Villistas dashed thru
a storm of shot and shell to the edge
of the Carranza forces trenches. but
were unable to take them.
Reinforcements. which had been or
dered to form a junction with General
Ramos troops at Corral, were delayed
by wreck near Ortiz and the pro-
posed general offensive against the
VilEstas did not materialize.
Following the Corral clash. the gar
rison at Santa Rosalia was rushed
south to hold Jiminez against any at
tack. In the meantime, 1000 troops
including The famous brigade Of Do
mingo Arreta. were sent south to at
tack the forces who cut of General
Ramos.

Of the United States half way instead
Of pursuing his defiant attitude.
His condition that the security Of
the American border and the with
drawaI of the American troops from
Mexico were the two dominant features
to be settled is endorsed by the diplo-
mats Of the Latin American countries,
who are particularly pleased that the
grave question of the violation Of Mex
