WOLOSES TO RITCHIE ON FOUL

San Francisco Boy Wrests Title From Champion. END COMES IN SIXTEENTH Michigan 1 Boxer Tires and Then Strikes Below Belt—Rivers Defeats Mandot and Cross Beats “Bat” Nelson. San Francisco, Nov. 29. —Wabbling on leaden legs, his eyes glazed and his body reeling, Ad Wolgast, conqueror of Battling Nelson, fouled Willie Ritchie twice in the sixteenth round of their fight at Daly City. With the wave of Referee Jim Griffin’s head, which disqualified him, the lightweight championship of the world passed, for the first time in Queensberry history, Into the keeping of a Californian. By his ring generalship, his courage and his splendid fighting ability, Ritchie won his spurs in the championship division. , End Is Unexpected. The unexpected end of the fight came after those at the ringside noticed in the fifteenth round that Wolgast’s strength was waning a mite. The boys faced each other in the sixteenth. As Wolgast was going away, Ritchie made him wince with a twohanded volley to the mid-section, and then, quick as the bat of an eye, a crushing right shot out and caught the Cadillac fighter fairly on the jaw. He fell back on the ropes and sagged, pitching forward in another instant toward his corner. Ritchie Crowded him, and as he raised his head the San Franciscan repeated the right cross. Wolgast, the invincible, went Sprawling. At the count of four Wolgast, his brain clouded, flung himself through sheer instinct at his antagonist. Ritchie, true to his agreement, had skipped across to the opposite side of the ring when his opponent went to the canvas. As Wolgast came at him he rushed to meet him and the two exchanged blows. Wolgast was badly dazed, but he covered so that Ritchie could not send in the finishing smash. Wolgast Strikes Low. Only twenty-four seconds remained of the life of the round. Ritchie, netu his own corner, poised the deadly right cross again when Wolgast’s left took him low. Billy Nolan, his manager, leaped to the edge of the ring and shouted to Referee Griffin and hundreds of voices raised the cry of ’’Foul?” “Foul!” Griffin rushedoyer

aild cautioned Wolgast. Tn another In stant the left rip of the champion found the. same sore spot. Ritchie tried to fight hack, but he was painfully in distress. Griffin, without hesitating, rushed between the fighters, pushed Wolgast aside and raised Ritchie’s hand in token of victory. Wolgast had the better of seven of the rounds. Four were even and the remainder were easily Ritchie's. Ritchie Not Badly Pounded. All through the fight Ritchie blocked and ducked cleverly, but encountered the Wolgast left hand a few times that bruised his left eye and nearly closed it. In the infighting his right eye was slightly damaged and his lip puffed a bit But on the’whole Wolgast’s blows did little damage. Wolgast seemingly was lacking in condition. In the round before the finish his legs were so heavy he could hardly lift his feet from the mat, while Ritchie, fresh and breathing perfectly, danced around his puffing adversary and pecked him with straight lefts. Wolgast says he did not intentionally foul Ritchie and that he thinks it is a poor way to win a championship. Joe Rivers Defeats Mandot. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 29. —Once again we have the brown hand of Joe Rivers reaching out to grab the fellow who owns the lightweight title. In the same ring at Vernon wherein he was beaten by Joe Mandot some two months ago the Californian “came back” and whipped the game New Orleans Frenchman. There is left no room for argument as to the question of superiority between the little boys. Rivers heat Mandot in everything that goes to make up a 20-round contest and Referee Eyton’s act in raising the Mexican’s hand at the finish was unnecessary so far as the great crowd was concerned. Every man inside the pavilion, and the old arena building was packed to every, wall, had known for at' least a quarter of an hour what the verdicts would be.

Cross Outpoints Nelson. New York, Nov. 29.—Leach Cross, young, strong and a master of boxing science, outpointed Battling Nelson, former lightweight chaippion, in a ten-round bout at the Forty-fourth Street Sporting club. Cross gave Nelson everything he possessed in the line of punches, running the scale from the heavy swings Up to jabs, but was unable to score a knockout. Nelson, true to his name, “Battling,” was in the ring, on his feet and fighting iust as hard at the finish as when he • tarted. ,

Tarrytown, N. Y., Nov. 29.—Following their usual yearly custom of giving Thanksgiving turkeys to the employes of their estates, Miss Helen Gould and John D. and William Rockefeller distributed over 126 Thanksgiving turkeys to employes.

HOLDEN LEAVES lOWA COLLE6E The “Corn Man” Joins I. H. Co. Service Bureau, TO HELP PUSH WORK FORWARD Co-Operation Movement for Larg Crops, Better Roads, More Prosperous People and a Better Nation. This marks the beginning of a new and greater business service. It is a co-operative movement for larger crops, better roads, happier homes, more prosperous people, and a richer and better nation. That is to say, the I H C Service Bureau proposes to help do for all the states and for Canada .what Holden has done for lowa. After considering many offers, and after an investigation of the company and its works, Professor Perry G. Holden has entered the service of the I H C Service Bureau at Chicago. Professor Holden is known wherever real agriculture is known. His whole life is one of service. He originated the idea of carrying information direct to farmers. He is the fa* ther of the demonstration train, short Bcb&ol courses, the corn show, county ; y :w9| PROF. PERRY G. HOLDEN. demonstration farms, and the National

Corn "Exposition. :£s "head or trie extension department of lowa State College of Agriculture he did a work which, Senator Cummins says, up to the present time has increased the wealth of lowa $30,000,000. The object of the I H C Service Bureau is the promotion es agricultural education, and a co-operation which will tend to raise the whole tone of commercial, industrial and farm life. Since agriculture is the basis of prosperity and progress, naturally farm problems claim first attention. The aim is higher efficiency, both on and ofT the farm. To do a big work a big organization Is necessary. Not only the bigness, but the perfection of the International organization as well appealed to Professor Holden. The big general agencies, scattered all over the United States and Canada; the salesmen, travelers and expert machine men; the 40,W0 dealers—every one, so far as possible, is to be made an apostle of better farming. For years the International Harvester Company has realized the Importance of service. It has spent millions of dollars in the perfection of la-bor-saving machines, and now the company is going in for direct service —direct to the farmers, and direct to the farmers’ children, that the men and women of tomorrow may be more capable and so more prosperous than the men and women of today. It is no longer a theory that if we ftre to get the most out of life we must raise more per acre. “Intensive farming” is in the air. It is the battle cry of peace and plenty. But raising more is the result’ of mind, not muscle. We must know. And not only that, we must Know we know, and know why we know. We must know good seed from bad, right cultivation from wrong, and the whys and wherefors of climates, soils, fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and so forth. ’ j, For these things the bureau was established. But the bureau i and Professor Holden see more than an average increase of a few bushels. They see a time coming when farmers will raise twice as many bushels of corn, wheat and oats to the acre, and like yields of all other kinds of farm products. They see a time when farmers and farmers’ wives and their children will think more and work less. Every bushel raised means just that much profit, and the profits of the farm promote commerce and Industry. After a period of good work in Michigan agricultural college, better work at Illinois, and n great work at lowa, Professor Holden now enters upon a world’s work. While In future Professor Holden will designate Chicago as home, he says he is not leaving lowa —he is merely carrjing lowa to the jreßt of the world. . Advertisement.
