LOS ANGELES, July 10. I am ready to take on Joe Rivers at any time and at any place I shall demand al least a $5,000 side het. for I am tired of this squabbling and crabbing by the loser They have talked, let them back their words with money, ami we’ll fight It out Labor day suits me, and so does the Vernon arena ami Jim Jeffries as referee 'This claim of Referee Welch is unjust. Anv fair-minded fan will admit that J had the fight won and had It won decis ively when that thirteenth round came along. Why, Jhen, should Welch make his decision with the motives some peo ple are charging him with Rivers was a had loser he was not in it. If Rivers was fouled he wasn’t fouled as badl\ or hurt so much as I was lb hit me wav low. yet even after that I kept fighting I waded in and landed two telling punches The first was a left hand swing, the second was a right to the belt line that dropped him Declares Rivers Grabbed Him, \s Rivers fell he grabbed hold of me. nml I tumbled on top of him. for my shoes were slippery, as any one could see. ami in falling his knee caught me in the groin Welch pulled me off hp did not assist me to rise but as I had little strength. I took advantage of his move by scrambling to my feet. Welch did not support me. but held me back as he was Counting Rivers out. This was plenty of time before the gong rang, for Welch had counted six when the buzz sounded If Rivers is game he would have tried to get up when he saw the ref eree was counting him out. fnr after the count of ten he got up ami walked to his corner. Rivers was not game that’s all "Mexican Yellow," Says Champ. I don t know how the tight would have come out if Rivers had not displayed the. vellow streak, and not tried to get up. I was in terrible pain from the two foul blows in the groin, and would have had a hard time of it He was not game, and tluit lets him out. As to the cry of foul. I was fouled worse than he. and was in greater physical pain. With my left hand and arm in bad shape. I went into the tight with the set idea of letting it go fifteen rounds before 1 opened up. unless I found it necessary, and I never found it so When I’m tn good condition I can stop Rivers in ten rounds.

JULY 10. 191- Crackers Have Come to Life, After Long Sleep, and Are Playing Ball WIN 1 FROM BARONS--OFF NOW ON JIAO CAREER By Be ivy 11. Whiting. <T-> IIE value of conversation on I the baaebal) diamond Is well known. A gabby catcher is a great asset. A coacher with a good line of talk can win many a game. A lot of conversation will liven up the dullest contest. Tite talk that wins games for a slumping team is sprung in the club house, and it's so hot some times that it ought to cancel the insurance ‘a'utotrialically. It is said by those who know thht Charley Hemphill made a speech tn his ball club Monday afternoon, t'harles is no great speeehmaker. He never made an after-dinner speech In his life, and few before dinner. He may talk to himself, hut he certainly doesn't waste much conversation with anybody else. Yet they say that Hemphill's speech Monday afternoon was equal to anything ever delivered. The report goes that it was a. warm, tempestuous speech - that it pointed out the nearnes of the < 'rackets to last place, dwelt on the fact that the Atlanta players were receiving good money and giving poor service, and suggested the addition of a little ginger and action to all ball games in the fu ture. Oratorically it may not have been ~a great speech. But neither De mosthenes nor William Jennings Bryan ever had anything on it for results. F'or, after hearing the speech, the Crackers went out yesterday ami won both ends of a double-header from the league leaders. And in doing so the Crackers lifted them selves a good ways from last place and pulled th< Barons down so materially that the league teams are again bunched, virtually with in 200 points. • • • -■p HE Crackers gave yesterday one of the most realistic Im personations of a ball club ever seen on the local field. Even the experts couldn't distinguish it ft’orn the real thing. Everybody played ball all the time. There was not only more pepper and ginger, but there was more artistic baseball. Hemphill must have done more titan go after the team, as a team. He must have picked out the in dividual flaws Eot Aga r was walking right into the ball. Harbi son wasn't breaking his hack oxer curve balls Callahan wasn't run ning i lear to the slab to meet the pill and a hundred other little minor flaws of technique bad been eliminated, * • • | t't'K has been breaking for the Crackers this year as it broke for .Napoleon at Waterloo and for Koo.sevelt at Chicago. But the Crackers can safely thank their stats for one thing, and that is that nobody wanted Brady A few weeks ago Brady looked like the falsest alarm that ever dis turbed the serenity of a Cracker nightmare. The local club was as , keen to get rid of him as if he had had the plague. But for one tiling they couldn't find anybody who wanted him, and for another they couldn't get anybody to take his place. So they figured he was a thin shade better than no pitcher at all and held onto him. <>n the 26th day of June, about I o’clock in the afternoon. James Brady awoke. He rubbed his eyes, asked. "Where have I been at any how.'' and then pitched a two nft game against Chattanooga. He was out again three daxs later, and though he allowed Chattanooga eight hits and four runs he won. His next out was against Mobile on July 3. That day he allowed five hits and on,e run up to the eleventh inning, after whiclt he exploded. Yesterday he allowed the league leaders four hits, well scattered, and won his game 1 to it. Exclud ing the fatal eleventh inning of the SUNDAY BASEBALL IN WASHINGTON LIKELY Sunil.iv baseball in Washington is a probability in the near future. A con feicnee, held by President Ban B. John son and Manager Griffith at the for mer.'s office in the Eisher building in Detroit recently resulted in the head of the league giving his apptoval of such a change in the schedule and inci >b ntallx immediately taking the mat ter up with the other officials of th? Washington club. Griffith contends that a majority of tite people In Washington want Sun day games. He says that it has been urged to him by those most interested in the project that Sunday baseball xvould lie a blessing in disguise for those inhabitants of the nation's capi tal who can not afford to attend games during the week, and who have no place to spend their Sundays. President Johnson is an advocate of Sunday ball. He pointed out that it required years to have the barriers raised against the -port on the Sab bath in both Detroit and Cleveland, but that since it has been tried there the clergy of these two cities sanction the playing of he games on that day. and that there Is not the slightest objection from any source. He immediately wrote a letter to President Noyes regarding the subject, and if the club can see its wax' io pla.v games at home on Sunday the sched ule will be >o arranged at once as (<> make this possible during the Nation als' long stay .at home. in ... frrtl.

Brady has allowed less than fixe hits, and a small frac tion over one run to a game for the last four games. He has sprung curves and fast balls that are xvon ders. and he has developed a change of pace that would fool Ty < 'ohh. Also Jim kicked in with a sin gle in the eighth when the Crack ers uncorked the batting rally that won the game. Graham and Agler also furnished hits in that inning and Alperman developed the sacri fice fix that sent the winning run across. • • i t N the second game there .was a ' miracle. The. Barons opened with three consecutive singles off Becker and with the aditional aid of two sacrifice flys scored three runs. The Crackers then came back xvith two hits for five runs in the second half of the first inning. After that Becker tightened, allowed two more hits and no runs and won the game in a romp. ANNAPOLIS WILL ASK OLD COACHES TO RETAIN JOBS ANNAPOLIS MD.. July 10.—Lieu tenant Douglass 1.. Howard. C. S N . and Ej-ank Wheaton, of Yale, will be asked fb continue as head coach and field coach, respectively, of the Naval academy football team. The other coaches will probably be Lieutenant Weems and Shaw, of last season's squad. The candidates for the new Jonas H. Ingram and Captain Dalton; fourth class will begin work September 1. and tite members of the regular squad will return for a xveek's practice before the opening of the academy, if it can be arranged. THREE GOLFERS SICK: MISS TITLE TOURNEY C’Hlt’AGO. .lulx 10.—Three Chicago golfers are patients in hospitals here with appendicitis, among them Dr. -I. B Ellis, who was believed to have a chance for honors in the Western championship at Denver, and who will be unable to com pete. The others are Donald Edwards and Ke-hard Bokum. of Midlothian. Dr. Ellis was stricken xvmle plaving in a match with Charles Evans. Jr., and Charles Furthman at Edgewater. He was summoned to attend the wife of one of the players who had become ill and after administering restoratives to her at the club house, returned to the links and fell in a faint. He is a member, of the I'nlversitv of Chicago faculty Palzer Now Biggest White Hope: Giant lowan Heavy Enough By SOL PLEX. Al Palzer looms up as a big white hope right now. Even though the ex perts are mot convinced that Flynn would have succumbed to Johnson in their sensational struggle at Las Vegas on the Fourth, Palzer, to our, mind, because pounds biggers than Flynni looks more neatly like a coming cham pion than any white man we know of. Al weighs about 228 in condition and is over six feet tall. He's a regular giant and the kind of a man Johnson can not push and pull around and hold onto when he is in distress. Palzer is two Battling Nelsons roll ed into one. as Tommy Walsh says, and xx e predict that he will be booked for a world's championship ’encounter in side of eighteen months. Do not be surprised, either-, if he is the man that finally whales Jack Johnson and re deems the white race pugillstically. To our- mind Johnson was a rather lucky champion on July 4 afternoon. Flynn is no whirlwind and the fact that he gave Jack tit for tat every step of the nine rounds proves that he lias gone back very, very much since the day he took Jim Jeffries to his first and only lacing. Johnson probably, is in for a licking in any one of his next two fights. The only way he can save himself is to retire and give up the title. They all go the same route if they keep fight ing. and Johnson is about due. JOHNSON HAS BLOWN WAD IN FANCY BAR AND CAFE CHICAGO, July 10. —"With auspicious rnaugural function." .lack Johnson, col ored champion, will today throw open the doors of his new case, bar and res taurant. Jack, glittering with diamonds to match the glitter of cut glass, silver and gold in his new establishment, made a final inspection yesterday before he be comes a "restaurateur." He was not sad dened by the fact that most heavyweight, champions forced to hang "ex" before their titles have gone into the same busi ness. There is no hoodoo in it. Jack al leges. Instead, he pointed around the place with considerable pride. Four oil paint ings. $15,000: one bar. trimmed with sti ver and gold. $5,000; silver water service $3,000; sterling silver cuspidors. $67.50 each. These are some of the things the champion pointed out. not omitting the price tag.

COBB IS BEST OF ILL PLAYERS By CY YOUNG. Ty Cobb is the greatest of them.al!. In my baseball experience, covering almost a quarter of a century, I hav° never seen an all around player the equal of the Detroit star. There max- be other players almost if not quite so fast as Cobb; Lajoie has it on the "Georgia Peach", for straighi awax hitting: other outfielders- may throxx a trifle better, but fbt work, dax" in and day out. Cobb hasn't an equal. At bat he hasn't a weakness. It has been my experience that you can fool him. possibly, one day. on a certain : kind of ball, and the next time you’face him he will whale the cover off the ball. On the, bases he is wonderful. uses both his head and his feet, and I sometimes wonder if the former isn't more responsible for his success than the latter. Cobb can size up a baseball situation like a flash, and the way he divine plays is uncanny. On the paths he doesn’t know the meaning of the word fear, and this lack of timidity help? him. In the field, too, he is a wonder uses splendid judgment in playing for batters, and his marvelous speed en ables him to retire batters on balls that others would play safe. Able to hit. to field, to throw, to run liases and to do each in phenomenal fashion, coupled with his nerve and confidence. Cobb is the greatest player that ever wore a spiked shoe.
