SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9. -- Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, will box Ad Wolgast, from whom he won the title, in a ten-round bout at Milwaukee some time next month. The weight is to be 135 pounds. Ritchie sent word to-day that the financial terms were satisfactory. As there is to be no referee's decision the title will be jeopardized only by the possibility of a knockout. (Feb 10, 1914) Here is article about Ritchie and the first match between them, (Nov 28, 1912) apparently Wolgast landed some punches "below the belt". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Ritchie here is bit about Wolgast cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/wolgast.htm

Alfredo de Oro (1863?-1948) was a Cuban-born billiards player. In a championship career that began in 1887, he won the pocket billiards title 17 times and held the three-cushion billiards title ten times. He last participated in tournament play in 1934, at the age of 71. In 1967 he was inducted into the American Billiard Congress Hall of Fame.
