Ritchie and Welsh to Fight for World Title
San Francisco reports Willie Ritchie will defend the lightweight crown against Freddie Welsh in Vancouver on September 1 for twenty rounds. Ritchie earned a title shot after substituting for Ad Wolgast in 1911 and later aims for a New York bout with Leach Cross. Promoter Hugh Springer guarantees $15,000 win or lose plus 80 percent of the house, expected to draw $30,000, with Welsh sharing the remainder and weight to be set by agreement.
