ls Willie IRitchie', world's light
weight champion, really the victim at
an unkind late. or are his mercenary
demands themnderlying cause for the
33 quueIous postponements of matches
in which the titleholder has ngured
recently?
Vague rumors within the
month are to the effect that the
" champion's action in calling oil the
dates with Harlem Tommy .Muhpry on
the plea that a sore snout and n
- strained tendon ‘had incapacitated him
have been merely excuses to I cover
up the loot that Ritchie’s hoggish
terms have not been met by" the pro:
Inoters. These rumtirs appear to have
.I more substantial basis than mere-
ly the idle gossip. at least it seems
that way if one may rely upon stories
that have come out of the golden
West.
in the first match scheduled be-
I tween Ritchie and Murphy, the title
holder was guaranteed the sum 01'
$17,000 for twenty rounds of scutliing.
Up to the date of the contest it
.u'as stated that the advance sale
I of tickets was underI$lO,000. 0n the
« day of the match a steady rain set
in and it did not stop. until late in!
Ille afternoon. it Ives evident that?
it tlIe..Ibout was held a. financial
IIloomcr would have resulted. A hur-
ried conference between the promoter
..Ind the title holder was held and
this ended in a decision to postpoae
the contest one month
Before a new set of articles was
signed, however, the guaranteed purse
é'or‘ Ritchie Was out just 322000, the
agreement being that his “bit" was
i E'o‘be's'ltmoo. Training was resumed
by both principles and everything
was proceeding satisfactorily until
the date for the match‘ again drew
near. According to the rumor it was
discovered that the fans of California
were not manifesting much enthusi-
asm in the battle, and it was deemed
likely that the gate would not approx-
itmate $15,000. Ritchie insisted that
his guarantee be posted in advance.
'i‘his, it is claimed, the promoter re-
fused to do, and as a result another
postponement resulted.
April 3 was the new date chosen
tor the battle, but it is hardly prob-
able that the match "Will be held un-
less Ritchie's purse is put up before

right now is dickerlng with Middle

bitnnt demands, however, are making
the match makers very chary about

For a. month past the. odicials oi
the Queensbury Athletic Club oi VMll-

mended for his services: The sum or
