San Francisco, Nov. 27.

The local lightweight performed again to-day for a crowd of sports and newspaper men and his work coulg not have been improved upon. He punched the dummy out in the ‘open, hammered the punching bag in the gym, wrestled two full rounds with Frankie Edwards and finished with a series of exercines which proved to such keen observers of con- dition as John B, Clark, George Harting and Dr. W. R. Prather that he was in perfect trim. Ritchie is now close to 183 and seems in perfect shape. Summing up’ Wolgest’s training for the week, he has disappointed his followers on several occasions, He opened in good form a week ago Tuesday, but on Saturday he was so off color in his work that ‘t caused many a waggingNof the head. The| comm champion was floored by Willie Hoppe, | ¢, practically a novice. He came back strong on Sunday and boxed with his usual snap and vim, but his in-and- out form pussled not a few of the close followers of the padded glove sport. Since then the champion has only been doing road work and gym exercises and he has announced him- elt fit for the battle of his life. Wolgast is all confidence, else he would not be betting his money freely. The betting did not drop to 10 to 4 to-day as was expected, but instead @ lot of Ritchie money made its ap- pearance, and the wagering was quite brisk, The odds remain at even that Wolgast knocks out Ritchie in eigh- teen rounds, Both Wolgast and Ritchie will do} but Nght exercises to-morrow. | | Joe Mandot Top-Heavy Favorite Over Rivers, LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27.—The fa- vorable impression created by Joe Mandot when he administered that artistic Labor Day trouncing to Mezi- in Joe Rivers, has made the South- ‘n Idol a top-heavy favorite over the local fighter in the twenty-round contest scheduled for to-morrow at the Vernon arena. Odds of 2 to 1 were freely offered to-day, with an in- timation that as good as 10 to 4 would be offered at ringside. Rivers is said to be hitting his old atride, which “loosened a flood of money, several large amounts being wagered at the iw little likelihood tha, the odds will lengthen at the ringeide, and « strong Probability that plenty of Rivers money will be offered at 10 to 6, A record crowd is expected. pede Wik Ban tc NEW 18-ROLE GOLF COURSE ON LONG ISLAND NEXT YEAR. eee ee fee ary Wine i ea SF ees Ee sirangel tr as Geultesture Tie new ad I cater playing lenght of bat le Pho and, dee te pat ates ‘cten the Garden, City" course Tim Jordan Had Big Goason In International League —— Former Dodger Led in Slug- ging, Run Getting and Bases on Balls.
