Ritchie, Rivers (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  Willie Ritchie and Mexican Joe Rivers fight on July 4, 1913.
  www.nytimes.com/1913/07/05/archives/right-cross-blow-wins...
  Right Cross Blow Wins For Ritchie; Rivers Knocked Out In Eleventh Round Of Vicious Fight For Championship. A wicked right cross -- the same blow which was so effective against Ad Wolgast -- proved too great a stumbling block to Joe Rivers in his attempt to wrest the lightweight title from Champion Willie Ritchie at the Eight Street open-air arena here to-day, the Mexican being knocked out in the eleventh round of a scheduled twenty-round battle.
  I created a Wikidata entry for the fight:

• Jon (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks Richard Norton, we'll add that info to the catalog record.

  This would be as contenders for the world lightweight boxing champion in 1914. He fought Freddie Welsh in 1914 and lost the title to him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Ritchie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Welsh

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Ritchie He is probably on his way to England for the 1914 champion bout.

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Think it just says "Mrs. L. Hicks."

• aware health said:

  luirig.altervista.org/cpm/albums/bain-21/10475-Billy-Gibs... This is a yet-to-be-Flickred photo of Ritchie and a guy named Leonard Hicks, among others. I suspect he's the "Mr. L Hicks", but I can't find any explanation of their connection.

  NYT of June 11, 1914 reported that Wiilie Ritchie sailed for Europe on the Aquitania. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70C13F73C5E13738...
