( By AL SPINK. Nov. 13. Fighting under resumed names has long been a custom o f CHICAGO, famous pugilists. t More than a hundred yeais ago Bendigo, a man of abnormal muscmar development, won the championship of Eng-la- r A wonderful from Deaf Burke. fighter was Bendigo, and be was never known by any other name. But when Bendigo died a great monument was erected to his memory at his home in Nottingham, England, and on it are tli words: "In memory of William Thompson (Bendigo), who died August 23, 18S0, aged 69. In 'life afways brave, fighting like a lion; in death like a lamb, tranquil in Zion." During his ring career Bendigo fought twenty battles and was never defeated. And since Beijdigo's time it has been the custom of many great pugilists to Ko carry on under assumed names. Dempsey and Kearns are no exceptions to the general rules. , I might cite many Instances of the kind. One of the most notable was that of Jake Kllrain, who fought John D, Sullivan for the heavyweight championship In the last fight ever fought in this country. name was John Jake Kilraios right He changed his name Joseph Klllion. when he entered the prize ring to fight his first fight with 'Dangerous Jack," a colored boy, In Boston, whom he defeated in three rounds. Yankee Sullivan, One of the first of America's great pugilists, the man who fought John Morrisrey for the world's was really championship, heavyweight Frank Ambrose, and he was not ft Yan-ke- e at all, having been born at Banden, near Cork, Ireland. , 4 ' v A v,r4' h V a, , t x S : ' i' A, !' v a S ji& 'L j ' bare-knuck- le Ritchie Is Steffens. Willie Ritchie, once famous as lightweight champion of America, Is not Willie Ritchie at all. He's Geary Steffens, the same being a German name, which gives the lie to the common belief that Willie is English or Welsh. Willie was Geary until he substituted one afternoon for a fighter named Willie Richardson, who was to take part in some preliminary scrap, but failed to be among those present. Geary whaled the. daylights out of his opponent, and the crowd, being unaware of the substitution, yelled loudly for Willie Richardson. Geary then decided to grab off the name for himself. Later he changed It to Ritehie, It being imore poetic. Louis Wallach thats the name Leach Cross used to wear. But friends and relatives insisted on his changing it, and there you are Leach Cross. When the late Stanley Ketchel made his first ring appearance the referee asked him his name. l, "Stanislaus was the answer. The announcer tried to twist hlB tongue around it, failed, and turned to the fighter and snorted: "That ain't vour name! Your name Is Stanley Ketchel see?" Stanislaus "saw." Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight, was Freddie Thomas during his schooldays, One day someone asked him If he was Welsh, meaning of Welsh descent. Freddie, tls said, answered that "I'm Welsh." and a sporting scribe thought that he meant that was his name. Johnny Dundee, the New York scrapper, isn't Scotch, as his name would dlcate. His right name is Joseph When Johnny entered the fighting game and took unto himself "Scotty" Monteith, a Scot, as manager, Scotty's first stunt was to change his protege's name.
