ID LIKE TO SEE SHRIMP PC<HN RIGHT ABO lit MOW 1 t M OBILE, July 23.—Mike Finn will remain as manager of the Mo bile Baseball Club. Such was the announcement of President Alfred Staples following a meeting of the directors of the Mo bile club. "The trouble has been ad justed satisfactorily to everybody con cerned," he said, "and Mr. Finn re mains as manager of the club." Further than the announcement that "matters has been settled satis factorily to all concerned,” President Staples would not go into the case, but from a reliable source, it is un derstood that Mike Desmond, employ ed at the ball park In the capacity of special officer, had tendered his resignation. It is understood that he took his action, following Manager Finn’s statement that he would re-, Hgn, rather than cause the club offi cials any embarrassment. Manager Finn would not discuss the outcome of the case when seen, but stated that only one thing in con nection with the entire affair had caused him any regret, and that was the statement that he had ‘insulted the Hibernians." The Gull leader de nied that he ever offered offense to the Hibernians of any other organi zation of any kind in Mobile, and j»tates that he has never made any remark that could be construed as an insult to any organization. “Mike, you're too good an Irish man, yourself, to talk about the Hi bernians; are you not?" he was asked. “Sure,” he responded, "and to tell the truth, I’ve made up my mind to Join the Hibernians." The announcement that Mike Finn will remain at the head of the club means that the players will hustle as they have in the past to keep the club in the running, and no one was more pleaded when definite announcement was made that he would stay than the players now working for the Mobile club under him.

RITCHIE’S TITLE I OS ANGELES, July 24.—And Htill they come! With enough boxers here to stage a carni val of fistic revels lasting until Christmas and managers and pro moters clamoring over each others shoulders for a chance at a date and a trunk full of coin it appears that the end is not yet. Joe Woodman Is clamoring for dates for his two proteges, Sam Langford and Jack Bead, tin* Aus tralian lightweight chamuion, and bids fair to make a landing. Ad Wolgast also wants to be re membered. He is right on the ground to press his claim with Champion Willie Ritchie for an early match. He figures that since Rivtffs lost out in his match on July 4 he is in direct line fbr another match in preference to the, Mexican and probably his bout at the Vernon arena would be a good j card. • • • A NOTHER challenger of Ritchie is ’ ** Jimmy Duffy, whose record during the past year certainly gives him some right to consideration. His manager, Bert Finch, writes that Duffy is willing to meet any light weight in the country with an ex pressed preference for Ritchie, Fred die Welch, Leach Cross or Joe Rivers. Finch says that if Ritchie will con cede Duffy a match for the cham pionship he will post $5,000 as a side bet that Duffy will defeat him in twenty rounds and that he can iix th P terms for the division of the purpose to suit himself. In May of last year Duffy fought a ten-round bout to a draw with Fred die Welch and has defeated Leach Cross twice, once in New York and once in Buffalo. * • • l»nt T MB DAN” MORGAN. the "speechless” wonder from New York, has issued a statement offer ing to match Jack Britton with Champion Ritchie for a side bet of $10,000. There is no mention made in the letter of whether it is ten thousand cigars or toothpicks. He says this would be a real test for the champion and that Britton will box at any weight that suits the “cham pion." Crackers in Real Test To-day J_ Pennant May Hang on Series By O. B. Keeler. N OW is the time to get out old friend Crucial Series and furbish him up for active duty the next three days—beginning to day. Also, it is up to the Crackers, like the noble Romans getting an ear ful of M. Antony’s oratory, that those who have base hits prepare to shed them now. In other words, this is the well- known Critical Juncture, the Tide in the Affairs of Men. and (as set forth in the preamble) the Crucial Series. There is no particular advantage to be gained by holding a post mor tem in advance. It may be stated briefly that if the Crackers lose three straight games to the Billikens, the 1913 bunting will be in grave danger of wasting its fragrance on the desert air surrounding Montgomery, Ala. If the Smithies win three, with the long home series in prospect, chances will be bright for fireworks at Ponce DeLeon. A split series, with the Town Boys on the heavy end, will make things look the same way. only not so much s*o. And if the Billies get the odd game, our noble lads will have some lloratious-at- the-Viaduct work cut out for them the rest of the way. Here’s hoping! * * * CHEERING NOTE. In the thick of the trip We gamer a tip With a soul-stirring sentiment to it : It's easy to erack The old Turtle’s back .1 Dent on the rubber will do it! * • • rMLBBRT PRICE'S little vaca- tion didn’t last long. He was or dered by Manager Billy Smith to start from Atlanta this morning to join the club at Montgomery, where he probably will work in the Satur day game. Price said yesterday he couldn’t figure out why he dr&w the suspen sion that became effective after his poor start against the Turtles in the opening contest of the recent series. "I just got bumped—that’s all,” said Gilbert. “That will happen to ao\ bo lv once in a while; sometimes oftener.” VX/’ITH a dozen games, more or less, dividing the Senators from the Athletics in the American League handicap, Walter Johnson, some Big Smoke, comes to bat with the offer to pitch half the remaining games for the Griffmen, beginning Septem ber 1, with this little stipulation: “If Griffith thinks at that time wt> are close enough to the Athletics to make a fight for the pennant." That’s the point, by the way. Walter goes on to remark that if Radbourne could do things like pitch ing every other day. so can he. And he adds that the slabmen who work in the meantime should be instructed to pitch their arm? off every time they start. It would be interesting to see Wal ter and the large and scintillant Mr. Boehling taking it turn about on the slab—and if the Athletics slumn far from their dozen-game lead, we may have a chance to see that very ththg. • • • AND Mordecal Brown just went In ** for the lowly Reds and saved both ends of a double bill with the Braves, shutting off a savage rally in the last inning of each o-ame. ('alls up memories of other days—what? You khow. • • • LINES TO AN EX-CUB. It mag not he the same old Brown That used to wallop Matty so; . The passing gears have dimmed re nown That sparkled in the Long Ago. But when the Final Finch is there, That three-clawed Cub's the same old Bear! It's not the Cubs he's fighting for— The Feds could never look the same; lie lacks the grim and bracing roar That tuned his whip in every game. But in the pinches—have a care— That three-<d a wed Cub's the same old Bear! t J ACK PRINCE really gets sore when he is called “the Rain maker." But being well armed with a pair of perfectly good legs, we dare him to come forth for battle, and so here goe?: Jack Prince, you are a regular rainmaker! For the second time in as many days the races carded for the Motor drome have been called off on ac count of rain. And to make sure that they will have plenty of time to get Jack out of town, the other back ers in the saucer have decided that the next set of races will not be held until Friday night. They want all of to-day to get Jack out of the city. And they guarantee that Prince will not be within fifty miles of here by sunrise to-morrow. And with that promise, the local bugs may be assured that the big Marathon grind will come off to morrow night. Also a number of other events that should prove cork ers. To-day all of the riders intend tuning up their machines a bit more. To-morrow night the record f^r the J6 miles. 385 yards is very likely to get an awful kick in the slats. ATTELL COMES TO LIFE. NEW YORK, July 24.—Abe Attell will be seen in action Again to-night at Rockawa.v. where he will clash with Willie Beecher, the New York lightweight, for a ten-round bout. Report That Cobb Is Slated for Chicago CHICAGO, July 24.—Just before the White Sox pulled out for their East ern invasion a report gained circula tion to the effect that Ty Cobb, Tiger star, is to become a member of the South Side crew. To get him, all this according to the report, Owner Comiskey must give up Pitcher "Red” Russell, Outfielder Chappelle, for whom Comiskey re cently paid $18,000, and a catcher., It has been known for several months that Cobb has been anxious to break away from the Tiger band, but this is the first time that an offer was made for him.
