They are more anxious than ever to prove that in a thirty-minute grind that they are “there.” "McNeil and I were only forced to wait twenty-four hours longer to prove that our team Is the fastest,” said Marty Graves this morning. The other riders laughed when Morty said this, and every ope of them tried to get him to bet a few extra cigars on the outcome.

The revised and complete program for to-night follows: First Event—First heat Motordrome Sweepstakes. (One mile to qualify and two-mile final.) Starters— Graves. Shields, Richards. Renel, Lewis.

RITCHIE LIKELY TO SIGN TO-DAY T S AN FRANCISCO, July 29.—-If Willie Ritchie and Ad Wol- gast are as serious about re- matChing and betting $25,000 on the outcome as their words indicate, the match should be closed before the shades of night fall over Los Angeles. Ad and Tom Jones arrived in Los Angeles to-day. They left here for the purpose of meeting Ritchie and closing for a second match. Incidentally Ad’s recent talk that he is now his own manager goes to the fohr w'inds. Jones accompanied I Ad as manager and will do most of j the negotiating to-day. If the cham- ' pion and ex-champion come together again it will be in a twenty-round ] battle some time in September. Just before taking the train for Los Angeles Wolgast said: “Yes. I will bet $25,000 that I can beat Willie Ritchie, and I am willing to let the bet go as I originally stated it. I will bet $12,500 that I can stop Ritchie inside of twenty rounds, and I w r ill bet the other $12,500 that I beat him. 1 am not bluffing when I say I will make the w r ager. The only fear that I have is that Ritchie will not accept. As soon as I get in Los Angeles 1 will hunt up Ritchie and see if he will take me on.” BOXING News of the Ring Game CUBAN IS WINNER OF CHESS MASTER’S TOURNEY NEW YORK.

Leach Cross Defeats Baldwin Twenty-Round Bout a Fizzle By H. M. Walker. V ERNON ARENA, LOS ANGE- LES, July 30.—Leach Cross and Matty Baldwin stood in the center of the ring at the finish of twenty rounds of mild milling and embraced like brothers. Truth to tell, they performed like kinsmen throughout the evening. Cross was given the decision. He outpointed Baldwin in at least 18 out of 20 rounds. The big fault to be found with Leach’s work was that he did not try at any time to bring the battle to a finish. So unsatisfactory was his work In this respect that at the end of the fif teenth round Referee Eyton stepped to Cross’ corner with a warning: “You are not trying.” said the offi cial. “Every time you get ycur man going you Ptall and allow him to strengthen up. You’ll have to do better.” This warning had little effect upon the New Yorker. He had Baldwin on the run in the last few rounds, but was content to box in such cautious fashion that the ring-siders were all barking their disapproval. The one charitable way to view Cross’ work was that Leach knew of Baldwin’s ability to travel twenty rounds, but was not sure of his own stamina. On his showing last night Cross can make no immediate claim for recogni tion at the hands of Ritchie. Wolgast or any of the other top-notchers. In deed he may consider himself a lucky T VUHVVV I1MMI ■ easily In 3 day*. Ira prove vour health, prolong your life. No more atomacn trouble, no foul breath, no heart weak ness.
