I I BRBBB BBWB Linhlweighim Champion Takes Eight of Ten Bounds Ill Fast Battle NEW YORK. .Nov. 11.—-Wiilie ‘th- chie, lightweight champion of the world, defeated Leach Cross, of this city, in a ten—round lbout, which went the limit, at Madison Square Garden, last night. The men weighed in at 9 o'clock. both under the stipulated weight or 135 pounds. The ringside weights were announced as: Ritchie. 13? pounds, and Cross. 136 1- 4. With the exception of the first round which was even. and the eighth in which Cross had a decided advantage, ‘Ritchie had the honors in the second round after a mix-up (Ritchie fell backwards on his shoul- ders over Cross Who was in a stoop ing position. Though the fall was a heavy one lRitchie did not seem to be much the worse for It. in the third round Ritchie knocked Cross down twice each time for the count of nine seconds. The first fall was from a right smash on the jaw followed by a right half upper cut. After Cross regained his feet Ritchie rushed him across the ring and put him down again with another right. which was more of a above than a blow. When Cross got up he caught Ritchie with a hard left hook on the law. it almont lifted the champion off his feet. Cross. rushgig again forced ‘thchie to the ropes. rIt looked in this round as if 'Ritchie would win easily, but Cross was full of light and his power of recuperation surprised the Western boxer as well as the spectators. From the fourth round to the end of the seventh Cross received most of the punishment, but he kept Ritchie busy and the fighting all through was hard and fast. Cross ap- parently did not mind the stiff jabs he was receiving. contenting himself with [waiting to use his deadly right swing. at chance to do so IlOWOlel‘, never came. The eighth round was where Cross showed the best advantage. 'lie landed lofts and rights to bend and body and also had the [better of the infighting. He shook Ritchie from his heels to his head with u left hook to the jaw in this round. Ritchie’s showing was not quite up to the standard of former lightweight champions who have been seen here. .liut (“rose at all tin‘les is a puzzling .iinhtcr. no matter how good his op- ponent may be, and last night he fought with desperation at all stones in ondcnvoring to win illitchio's title. which the Westorncr had placed at stake in this match.

According to a fan in close touch with the affairs of the Giants, Manu- I l in nu unlit IB BI BIIIBIIIB ger .Mcoraw will be without a regular Baseball Star Eager Ill Remain third baseman next year. as neither Tillie vShafer nor Charley Herzog in- tend to return to New York. It" was only after repeated requests that Tillie, I of scented note fame, was induced to return to the ranks the past season. Sharer has all kinds of money. he is of a temperament that doe like to come in contact with the “rude ball players." It is stated that all last season Shafer held absolutely aloof from the rest of the team, caring to associate with them, whenever any of them said an proper word he was very shocked. and When the world's series ended he ‘ told in confidence that he’d never leave California to play ball again. The reasons for Herzog not caring to ‘ come back are entirely different. 'He feels that he wasn’t squarely treated by the management in forcing him, to warm the bench allwseason and only putting him in the world's series out of necessity. He declared that his showing in the previous world's series with the Red vSox entitled him to the permanent possession of third base and when he was taken off tbe'bag his feelings got an awful bump. He says he has plenty of money to keep the wolves and sharks from the door of his Maryland cantaloupe farm for many years to come. With these two men missing Eddie Grant is likely to be given custody of the third station. HIS RACING DAYS ARE OVER. The recent death of Percy Lambert on the VBrooklanda (England) track broke off negotiations for his appear- ance at the annual Decoration Day races at Indianapolis. May 30. Lam- . hart, after setting the world's one—hour record last spring, which he was try- ing to lower when killed, attempted to cross the pond in May with Goux, Zucccrelli, Guyot and others who drove in the fivehundredqnile race. He was prevented only by the lateness of his decision, being unable to make satin. factory arrangements in time. He had promised to be on hand sure this year, however. and was said to have prepared the car he was driving when killed with the lndiunapolie event in view. His loss, with these facts known. will be regretted as keenly this side of the water as abroad, where he was known as one of the heat and mostlfearless drivers. His machine was a Talbot. RUTT OUT OF SIX DAY BIKE RACE Walter Edit. the German racing cy~ clict, will be out of the New York six day race as the result of the severe injuries he received when his wheel collapsed in Paris Huntley. even should he escape with his life. Consequently the local grind. which is to be held the week or December 8. will lose one of its stars and the man who has more victories to his credit in the- mo than any rider who ever entered the portals of Madison liquors Garden.

MON BAR lN‘BOXER’B GLOVE. The action of Battling Hoffman. a preliminary boxer of Milwaukee. in having a piece of iron bar placed in his glove Inst before a fight at a club in st. Loulli, if true, should result in his being severely reprimanded by the boxing authorities in all States. Ac- cording to reports from the Mound City. the iad’s seconds placed the bar in the glove. but surely he must have hown it was there when he donned the mitt. With a weapon of that kind he might kill an opponent and it was a lucky thing that the seconds of his opponent discovered the trick before the boys started fighting. Such tricks are most cowardly and no game boxer would ever mierate anything of the kind, no matter who his opponent might be. FATEe AGAINST JAOK JOHNSON. il‘he fates are dealing harshly with Jack Johnson. First they led him into paths that put an awful crimp in his bankroll. next they take away his I not automobiles and then they deprive him of his title. The foreign auuiorb ties refuse to consider him cham~ pion any longer. his title having been declared vacant because of his diia~ tory tactics in signing up to meet a challenger. The international dioxins Union of Europe in at liberty to re- fuse Johnson recognition. as the charm pion yet at the same time if he does light the boning would‘vili hold that. with the decision good the title.

ISN’T M'CUE'S. DEFEAT A SURPRISE. One of the his ring surprises of last week was the defeat, at least the newspaper decision, against Matty 'McCue; the lRacine, Wis, feather- IIwaight, who was supposed to be in 'line for Johnny Kilbane's hendgenr,‘ by the sparring partner of the chem- pion, Cal Delaney, of Cleveland. 0. Probably Jimmy Dunn. manager of 'Kilbane, sent Cal along just to try out' If that is the' case then he succeeded. for DelaneyI the Wisconsin bearcat. certainly put the kibosh on Matty for a time. His cleverness was altogether miss time and time again, the same at Patsy ’Brannigan when they met in Milwaukee last winter. McCue, who carried a knockout punch in either .hand, never had a chance to unload the new break. last ball to remain uh. .' one of them on the Cleveland boy. It was a bitter disappointment to the Racine lad, who is a fine little fellow. bpt he will have to start over again the same as many others before him. 'Matty has neglected a lot of his box.- lug ability simply to develop his sleep producer. In a long fight he would get a clever man, . but in the short bouts, which prevail nowadays, he will have to develop boxing to go with it. The victory for Delaney will put him into the limelight and it may .be that before long he will be after his former boss crown. Kid McCoy was a pupil of Tommy Ryan at one time, but they separated and McCoy defeated his master when they fought .in the East. Will Delaney repeat Mc- Coy's feat? THINKS YALE WILL WIN. John J. Hallahan. in the Boston Globe, after watching the Harvard- Princotou game, does not believe that Princeton can heat Yale. lie says, in part: b... fl ' "Princeton will certainly give the Elie a royal battle. but the writer does not believe that they can win the game from Yale. They will find the Yale line better prepared to meet their offense from the shift formation than Harvard was. and if they resort to a kicking duel. Law will more than Imeet his match in Knowles The Ionly chance, then. for Princeton will come down on a succession of clever forward passes, and banking on a game by that method is a dangerous expectation."
