.Scrappers Ready for Big Purse
 and No Title Mill

Newark, N. J., April 2s.-Benny Leonard, the worlds lightweight Champion, will meet Willie Ritchie, 1ne time American lightweight title holder. in a bout scheduled for eight rounds in the First Regiment armory in Newark tonight. No champion ship will be at stake, since the men are to weigh in at 142 pounds and Ritchie cannot come down to the lightweight limit.
 However, in spite of the non-cham- pionship character of the event, 1t has attracted. remarkable attention and record house is likely The promoters declare that Judging from the advance sale their receipts will go beyond the $5O,0O0 mark. It is said that Leonard has h5en guaran teed close to s20,000 an} that Ritchie mas been assured of a fat sum of s1O,000.
 Leonard and Ritchie met in a four round bout in San Francisco some time ago and tue impression was that Jsitchie had gained t7C decision. lm- mediately there was a general urg- ing for longer bout and with the best terms coming from Newark the boxers decided to pitch the battle for Leonard's revenge in that city at eight rounds with eight ounce gloves.
 The betting favors Leonard by to 1, with considerable wagering on 8 Knockout being landed by Leonard. Ritchie has found few packers, since it is admitted quite universally that he will have his work cut out for him to stay rather than to try for the decision.
 Statements of tho Fighters.
 Benny Leonard-'I am ready. am confident. I am champion. These three things are going to be too much for Willie Ritchie when we meet in the ring in Newark. I have trained hard for this fight and am thorough ly satisfied with my condition. 1 am going to try to win by knockout as quickly as I can"
 Willie Ritchie-"I'm all set for the bout. I can't think of anything that I have neglected which would tend to put me in shape for this fight. l beat Leonard before and I will beat him again. I think l have the Indian sign on him
