Per sonal friends of Willie Ritchie, for mer lightweight boxing champion of the world, believe he will abide by his announced intention of retiring from the ring for all time." With his final bow to pugilism, the curtain will come down on a fighter who was considered one of the gamest that the ring has known. There are many who have watched the ring career of Ritchie who deem him in a class with Battling Nelson in the matter of standing up to and taking punishment without a whim per. His last battle with Bennie Leonard, when he continued fighting while reeling from the effects of the champion's blows, more than made good the claims of gameness made for him.- A notable instance of Ritchie's gameness was displayed in his cham pionship fight against Joe Rivers in this city on July 4, .1913, when the latter made an attempt to take the title from the, then champion. For the first five or six rounds Rivers outfought and outboxed Ritchie to such an extent that the (crowd was looking to see Ritchie take the fina' count at any moment. Ritchie con tinued to fight back under merciless punishment, and finally succeeded in landing a couple of stiff punches that slowed up Rivers. The tide then suddenly turned and in the eleventh round iverswas prostrate. Ritchie is comfortably fixed jn the matter of worldly goods. Besides a handsome cash balance in the bank he owns a couple of apartment houses here which return him a goo.i income. He never has dissipated and does not use tobacco in any form. His one frivolity, which has been the cause of much good-natured banter on the part of his friends, has been his fondness for dancing, which he indulges when ever the opportunity occurs. .- A i Junior Wrestling Title Meet at Y.

Jack Taylor Offers to Throw Zibby Twice in 90 Minutes or Lose Passing through Omaha on his return to his home in Peckville, Wyo., after being defeated by Marin Plestina at Madison Square garden, New York, Jack Taylor was a caller in The Bee office. Among other things he said that Plestina undoubt edly was now a wonderful wrestler, that he had gained some "wrestling sense" and could beat such people as Zbyzsko and Lewis easily, and probably the Nebraska marvel, Joe Stecher, as well. ' Besides his praise for' Plestina, Taylor said he would meet Zibby, Lewis, Stecher, Pesek, Peters or any other wrestler in the world, and to show that his was no idle boast, he left $50 with the sporting editor ot The Bee to bind a match with any of them. He made all arrangements with said sporting editor to close any bout for him that he saw fit, barring no . heavyweight in the game, and the men to "shoot" all the way. If possibles he would like to meet Zbyzsko, and in order t6 make it attractive to the Pole, he will agree o throw him twice with in 90 minutes. It may be that Taylor is a 'great wrestler, but he has yet to show Ne braska fans that he is a world beater or a drawing card. Some of the lo cal wrestlers of some prominence have been approached regarding a bout with Taylor and they turned it down because they figured they couldn't make any money out of a bout with the Wyoming heavy. His forfeit will be held in The Bee of fice for several days to give Nebras ka wrestlers a chance to call him, and then if there is no action taken, it will be returned to him.

Losing Teams in High School League Make Only One Run Apiece Stealing home after getting on the bases on a tw6-base hit, Banner of South High's base ball team made the lone run for the Packer crew when Central High's diamond nine mopped the Luxus field up yester day afternoon, winning, 11 to 1; the first game in the local high school base ball series. Permitting the Creighton nine only one run, Com merce High took their encounter, 4 to 1, in a hard tussle on the Muny diamond, Thirty-second and Dewey. Frank McGrath, on the mound for Central, allowed the South High bat ters only two hits. They both were two-base hits, and the second, made in the last frame, enabled Banner to start on a tour of the bases and slink home, preventing his mates from being presented with a goose egg by the Central nWn. Mangold, making a hit, sent the Konecky brothers home for two additional counters. . . Mahoney and Snygge proved too formidable a battery for the Creigh ton crew. The first, three innings were scoreless. Luebbe, walking to first, stealing second and third and coming home when, the Creighton catcher dropped a pitched ball, start ed the scoring. Lynch s triple in the sixth stanza brought in Creighton's lone run. South, Porter, Mahoney and Luebbe made the runs for the business boys.
