RITCHIE WILL \
RETIRE FROM
FISTIC RING;
—
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14 (by As- y
soclated Press).—Personal friends of
Willie Ritchie, former lightweight V
boxing champion of the world, believe f
he will abide by his announced In
tention of retiring from the ring for
all time. With his final bow to pugil
ism, 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 Leon
ard, when he continued fighting while
reeling from the effects of the cham
pion’s blows, more than made good
the claims of gameness made for him.
A notable instance of Ritchie’s 1
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 out- .
fought and outboxed Ritchie to such
an extent that the crowd was looking
to see Ritchie take the final count at
any moment. Ritchie continued to
fight back under merciless punish
ment and finally succeeded in landing
a couple of stiff punches that slowed
up Rivers. The tide then suddenly
turned and in the eleventh round
Rivers was prostrate.
Ritchie is comfortably fixed in the
matter ,of worldly goods. Besides a
handsome cash balance in the bank
he owns a couple of apartment houses
here with return him a good income.
He nexer 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 frineds, has been his fondness
for dancing, which he indulges when
ever the opportunity occurs.
Prior to becoming a champion,
Ritchie worked in a garage and is an
expert mechanician. He considered at
one time going into the automobile
business and it would not be a sur
prise if, eventually, he entered into
this line of work.
ALASKANS WHO MADE
GOOD RECORDS IN
SERVICE OF U. S.
<
Alaska, the forty-ninth star, was
probably as well advertised as the
sister states in the earnestness of its
citizenship to further the cause of the
war with Germany. There are many
unwritten instances where Alaskans <
made records for themselves and his
tory for their Alaska. Every town and
community in the territory may well
boast of one or more of their sons
who played their part and played it
well. Gradually, these particular in- ,
stances will come to light and later
history will be written setting forth
the different episodes that made vic
tory possible. But not alone was
history written in Prance, for there
are many individual cases of personal
sacrifice, made in the home camps,
that border on heroism. A particu
larly striking one is the case of Dr.
Walker, who closed his drug store in
Ketchikan to do his bit. Dr. Walker
is one of the foremost citizens of the
fishing town and is successful. He <
went direct to Seattle when war was
declared and applied for service, but
was turned down. Not disheartened,
he later made the second trial and
was accepted and joined the tank
service. Dr. Walker was consigned ,
to a company in which were Charlie
Kennedy, a pioneer of Nome, Joe Ma
herin, well known commercial trav
eler, and other prominent Alaskans.
Towards the end of the war the com
pany was stationed at Gettysburg and
they have many Interesting tales to *
tell on each other. Kennedy actually
forced himself to deserved recogni
tion by refusing to pass an officer
through the lines without the counter
sign. Maherln rose from the tanks
through conscientious efforts and '
' close application while Dr. Walker
was distinguished throughout.tlje eo
tire company as the Alaskan ; who
closed the doors of his drug More to
fight for his country.

1TEAMSHIP VICTORIA
MAY BRING TROOPS
HOME FROM SIBERIA
Word received from Washington in
lcates that the government expects
3 send one of the first boats this
ear from Nome, Alaska to Vladivos
sk, for the soldiers who are ill or
rounded, with doctors and nurseB
rho will accompany them home.
The steamship Victoria will be the
rst boat of the year to go to Nome
nd as its return cargo from the north
rould be light, it is believed that it
rill be sent to Vladivostok, returning
rom there direct to Seattle.
That the business between Alaska
,nd Asia is to be more extensive this
eason than ever before is evident
rom the number of applications that
lave been made for permission to
ihlp goods from Nome across to the
liberian coast.
F. I. Karaeff was issued a permit
ecntly to ship 500 rifles and 5,000
ounds of ammunition from Nome to
Camtchatka, for hunitng. Karaeff is
;oing into the north country with a
radlng outfit.
Plenty of caustic soda, battery oil,
