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.

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.” CUBAN IS WINNER OF CHESS MASTER’S TOURNEY NEW YOHK, July 30.—Winning his thirteenth game, Jose R.

Boxing in that State now is legal, and the boxing fraternity anticipates a busy fall and winter sea son. Legalized bouts will do a lot to help the sport in the Middle West. * * * Jack “Twin” Sullivan, of Boston, has been matched to box Soldier Kearns, the Brooklyn heavyweight, in a ten- round to go at the Queensberry A.

Both these scrappers are already on the battleground training for the fray. • * * Again we hear from Charlie White, the Chicago sensation. Charlie is after a return engagement with Jack Britton, and says he will not rest until he drags the latter into the ring with him again. A bout of this sort should prove a cork er for any promoter in the country. * • * Mike Saul and Eddie Hanlon are prac tically matched to meet in the seml- windup to the next boxing show to be staged here. Mike and Eddie have been wrangling over the weight question for the past week, but finally came to terms yesterday, when Fkldie said he would make 138 pounds at 3 o'clock for the Hebrew battler. • • • A wire received here last night from Chicago states that negotiations have been opened leading toward a ten-round contest between Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie and Packey McFarland, the battle to be held in ‘Milwaukee in October.

White-Dundee scrap at Los Angeles j The heavy featherweights are scheduled to go twenty rounds to a decision 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. HENNESSY VS. SHEPPARD.
