Chance, of the Yankees, told Stahl, of the Red Sox, that he would trade Hal Chase for Tris Speaker and Joe Wood. Stahl nearly fainted. When Jess Willard refused to go West some months ago to light “Gunboat” Smith, he overlooked some real money. Coffroth sent two round-trip tickets to Charlie Cutler. Willard’s former man ager, besides offering him 30 per cent and a guarantee of four fights.

He is names his prospective opponents in this order: miehtv small to b a u. .ucccssful hurl- ’ I/ea( . h , roMS , j a J k u rltt on, Tommy Murphy, .loo Rivers, Willie Ritchie and Rat-key McFarland. It is a ease of money with the British champion, as It is with all boxers. He has no fooling of enmity toward any of the boxers named, hut he confi dently believes that he can whip them all, which will justify his claim to the world's championship. Furthermore, Welsh is prepared to make 133 pounds scaling at 3 o’clock in the afternoon Welsh defeated Cross on points several years ago when leach wasn’t the past mighty small to bo u successful hur! er—but they can’t heat him, an-t that’s what he Is paid for—paid at least $125 a month, I have no doubt.

He allowed seven p OUllf j s ringside for ull but McFarland, who can get a match at hits—never more than one to an to- 1 - nlng, save just once. He walked only four men and only one of the four an experienced lightweight. Cross has made rapid strides m scored. He hurled almost airtight ball—but yet he was beaten He had behind him the club that the records show to be the best sluggers in the league but -they couldn't deliver any runs. Toward the end of the old bi’l game the Crackers threatened noiai year, and Welsh believes a bout with the dentist will draw a big gate. As for Rivers, Manager Rollok writes that the Mexican’s manager had ref n setl $5,000 to box Welsh In New York, saying that he preferred n twenty- round battle on the^-oast. “Rivers is nfrai™” continues Welsh’s manager. “If he will box my man ten rounds In Now York we will agree to go to California and lad our share ly a couple of times.

Welsh und Ritchie, if they should clash In a ten round bout in New York, it would provide a real world’s championship match, which, In the opinion of boxing managers, would draw at least $30,000. Ritchie’s mentor, Billy Nolan, will find It difficult to side step Welsh’s proposition unless he demands too much money. It Is generally conceded that Welsh is McFarland’s must capable rival. They have boxed three times, fifty-five rounds In all, and the question of , • • supremacy still remains In some doubt.

A slight improvement was noted to day in the condition of Eddie Foster, the Senators’ third baseman, who is suf fering from a mild attack of typhoid, ami there is a chance that he will be back in the game In three weeks.
