NORWICGH BULLETIN, RITCHIE RETAI NS HIS TITLE in 10 Round .Battle—Forced His Op- ponent to Take the Count of Four in Seventh Round— Milwagukee, Wis.,, March 12.—Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, earned a shade over Ad Wol- gast, former champion, in their ten- round bout here tonight. The champion outboxed the Michigan boy in five rounds and in the seventh bad Wolgast backing away from his punches. Wolgast sank to one knee when Ritchie landed a shower of blows on his stomach and took the count of four. He later rushed at the cham- pion, but Ritchie danced away from him, Twice during the bout Wolgast was warned by Referee Stout for his rough work in the clinches. In the eighth and ninth rounds Ritchie clearly out- boxed the former champion. ‘When the champion and the ex- champion came to the center of the ring for the first round they wasted little time in sparring for openings. Wolgast bored in to close guarters at | once and found the champion willing to meet him at that game. Wolgast secured a shade the better of the first round, playing largely for Ritchie's body. The champion’s left jab was much | in evidence, but Ad covered well Ritchie increased the pace in the se ond, which was his round, and ha the Michigan boy’s mouth bleeding at | the close when he landed a right swing ! to the jaw and followed with right and left to the face.

Ritchie’'s jabs and hooks to the head did not stop him, and he; landed several hard rights and lefts to the Californian’s body, varied with an occasional jeb to the face. Ritchie, | however, had the sixth round by a ‘Wolgast missed several hard swings and the champion smoth- ered his rival with a fusillade of snap- | g8et away fice telephone 501-2.

Ritchie checked Wolgast’'s rush in the seventh with a hard left, a ter- rific right swing to the face and a left to the solar plexus which sent Wol- gast down for the count of four. He slowed Wolgast with swings in an ef- fort to put him out. Ritchie also took the eighth, open- ATTORNEYS AT LAW Brown & Perkins, iitorneys-at-law Over Uncas Nat.

JiMMY CLABBY WILL MEET BILLY MURRAY. Match Will. Take Place At Colma, April 3. Jimmy Clabby and Billy Murray, the new middleweight phenomenon from Sacramento, Cal, have been matched and will meet at Colma, April This should be a good, hot fight. Clabby is a much better fighter than when he boxed in New York. He is bigger, stronger, more clever and more ambitious. He calls himself ‘middle- weight champion of the world” and is very proud of the title. So Clabby will do his best. This makes it a good, try- out for the middleweight. If he can with a clever, experienced fighter like Jimmy Clabby he's a won- der, and no mistake. In that event itll be hard to find any one who can stop his march to the championship. The only thing that might give Mur- ray pause after that Is a glance at the fake record Eddie McGoorty had on the backs of his cards down in Australia. One look at that ought to scare him out of a year’s growth. NORWICH TEAM SWAMPED. Met with Defeat at Jewett Score 31 to 15.
