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

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.

The fight took place in San Francisco, which ties in with the Cana Studio tag noted above and visible in the photo as embossed letters.

Your information will make all 3 photos of this fight easier to find in the future! We'll add the first name and fight info to each image, though likely to go with Colma, CA, since Cyber Boxing Zone gives that place name for the Wolgast-Ritchie fight on Nov. 28. (Looks like they fought on May 11 in San Franciso.) cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/wolgast.htm Further checking: Boxing record lists Daly City, CA (neighbor to both Colma and San Francisco) for the fight's location, www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=42487&cat=boxer. Might go with "San Francisco area" for now!
