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

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

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.

Willie Ritchie has other LOC photos in this series. He fought Tommy McFarland in September 1911 according to this site: cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/ritchie.htm

This is really strange because my grandmother, Grace McFarland, divorced and married again becoming Grace Ritchie.
Art Siegel said:
This appears to be Packey (sometimes spelled Packy) McFarland. He did not fight Ritchie. Here is another Bain Collection photo of him from the same session:
Jon (LOC P&P) said:
I believe you are correct artolog, it does look like Packy McFarland. I will ask for our records to be updated.
