    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

    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:

    I believe you are correct artolog, it does look like Packy McFarland. I will ask for our records to be updated.
