from Wikipedia article about Willie Ritchie: 'Ritchie's first title shot in a match with lightweight champion Ad Wolgast on November 28, 1912 in San Francisco. Ritchie dominated the fight, and after Wolgast landed two blows below the belt in the sixteenth round, the referee called the fight for Ritchie."

Thanks for connecting this to the event, which is also shown in a couple of other Bain photographs. We'll add some name and date information to our description of this photo.

Willie Ritchie was the world lightweight champion at boxing in 1913. So this might be him. See NYT of Oct 23, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9402E7DF173DE633A...

NYT of Nov 11, 1913 described a bout where he beat a New York boxer, Leach Cross. The bout had been a focus of much media attention, to judge from other NYT pieces. Presumably the locals wanted Cross to beat the Californian Ritchie. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9503E4D8113CE633A... chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1913-07-05/ed-..., New York Tribune from July 5, 1913 has picyures of both Ritchie and Cross.
