Hitch In Welsh-Kitchle Bout
NEW YORK. Feb. 12. Alt Is not yet serene
In the arrangementa for the Welsh-Rltchle
bout at Madison, Square Garden on March 11
When Ritchie's contract was returned hero
the name of Hilly Roche as referee waa strick
en out. Today Jimmy Johnson, club match
maker, declared that If Willie didn't like
Roche he could go elsewhere to fight.
TWENTY years ano, or from 1895 to
1900, tliero wero at least five first
class heavyweights operating- ln the
fight game. They were Jim Corbett,
Bob Fltzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, Tom
Sharkey and Kid McCoy.
In that epoch there was money in the
game, but nothing like tho surplus of
kale nqw waiting for the next white
heavyweight champion, where a half
million within two or three years would
be easy picking.
Money Minus the Men
From 1910 to 1915, with a stack of
golden bullion in easy reach, the game
has .had one first class heavyweight.
Ilia name is Jack JohnBon. Despite the
fact that Johnson has brought greater
disgrace to his game than any other
man ever brought to any sport, no onb
can question 'his ability in the ring.
But for IB years now It has never (been
a matter of three or four good men
ready to fight it out of three or four
good yongsters coming on to take Jack
Johnson's place. If, a single first class
youngster bad starteji five years ago,
and had started in the risht way by
learning his game and gathering in a
batch of needed experience under fire,
Johnson today woulcf Jtf jjpomed at his
next start and his cojUeror would be
within two Jumps of a coofand shining
million.
Johnson's Status
Johnson certainly hasn't been oomlng
forward "Ince his Reno clean-up. He
was, at the top then, far even then he
waa slightly beyond the best fighting
for 'at least four years he has been,
drifting back, but drifting backward
he has found no one who has been
oomlng forward.
Suppose Willard had started two

U10 top--3'jppos! he had staj-iejl In by

All-Eastern tryouts nro suggested as

nald last night that It would be impos
sible to consider the proposition of Bend
ing all the winners of the Metropolitan
championships on such a long and ex
pensive trip. Ho said that no definite
move had been mado as yet to Insure the
representation o( the Hast, but that the
matter would bo taken up soon.
Tho matter was discussed Informally
at tho annual meeting of the A A. U.

gested that It might be possible to obtain
tho use of the Harvard stadium for a
meet open to tho athletes of tho Metro

meeting would be of sufficient Interest
to draw a gate that would go a long

Chip-Houck Fight Off
NI3WCASTLE, Pa., Feb. 12. The 10-round
bout scheduled for tonight between George
Chip, of this city, and Leo Houck, of Lan

the death of Houck's mother yesterday.
ble and by fighting at every chance?
There then would be no question today
of Johnson's finish.
But in place of this, if Johnson loses
his defeat will come from one of two
reasons either because he is in no
shape to stand a long fight, or be-i
cause the battle has been framed.
Jeffries with all his natural ability had
to work and fight to reach the top.
Willard has done neither, and If he ar
rives there it will be more by default
than actual achievement
