comes to bat with a scream of
rage and tries t<» hit the "commer
cialism of baseball" out of the lot.
Yesterday every club president in
the Southern League agreed to per
mit the Atlanta club to suspend
Whitey Alperman the rest of the
season, with full pay And the At
lanta club is doing that very thing.
And now r Whitey. with a wife and
three little Alperman dependent on
his pay envelope, can take his own
time and get well comfortably from
the appendicitis operation.
We prefer to think that's an ex
ample of the true spirit of baseball.
Commercialism should be made of

P Jack Prince wants to square him
self with the motorcycle fans, he
had better leave the city for the
next twelve hours. The "Rainmaker”
is in awfully Dutch with the saucer
bugs who had been expecting to see
some thrillers out at the Motordrome
last night, but who were robbed by J.
Pluv.
J. Pluv's wet assortment caused a
postponement from last night until
to-night The same card scheduled
last evening will be run this even
ing—that is. if J. Prince will kindly
hie away from the village.
J. Pluv and J. Prince are bitter
enemies, and the former J. holds sev
eral decisions over the latter J.
While the showers last evening
dampened a heap of enthusiasm for
a while, it failed to dampen any snirit
within the riders. 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 Mortv said
this, and every one of them tried to
get him to bet a few extra cigars on
the outcome.
*‘Tex Richards and yours truly will
be home in front: and don't forget
that." said Billy Shields, who is* team
ed with the speed demon from the
Lone Star State.
The revised and complete program
for to-night follows:
Plrst Event—First heat Motordrome
Sweepstakes. (One mile to qualify
and two-mile final.) Starters—
Graves, Shields, Richards, Renel,
Lewis.
Second Race—First heat of a match
race between Glenn and Luther.
(Race to be two best heats in three.)
Distance. 2 milee.
Third Event—Second heat of Mo
tordrome Sweepstakes. Starters—
Schwartz, Lockner, Luther. McNeil,
Glenn.
Fourth Event - Second heat of
match race between Glenn and Lu
ther.
Fifth Event—Final heat of Motor
drome Sweepstakes. (FIrat and sec
ond man in each heat and third man
in fastest heat to start.)
Sixth Event—Third heat of match
race between Glenn and Luther, if
necessary.
Seventh Event—Hal#-hour team
race. Teams—Graves and McNeil,
Schwartz and Lockner, Shields and
Richards Luther and Lew is, Renel and
Glenn. (No rider can remain on track
over twenty consecutive minutes.)

HITCH JKELY
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 recer# talk that
he is now his own manager goes to
the four winds. Jones accompanied
I Ad as manager and will do most of
| the negotiating to day. If the cham-
' pion ahd 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 will
bet the other $12,500 that I beat him.
I am not bluffing when I say I will
make the wager. The only fear that
I have is that Ritchie will not accept.
As soon as 1 get in Los Angeles I
will hunt up Ritchie and see if he will
take me on.”

Leach Cross Defeats Baldwin
v*^
*•*
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 gtepped
to Cross’ corner with a warning:
“You are not trying,” said the offi
cial. “Every time you get your man
going you stall 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 w’ere 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 Kamina.
On his show'ing- last night Cross can
make ho 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
lad if Promoter McCarey ever uses
him in another coast bout.
