But it counts exactly as much in the percentage column ns if it had traveled twenty-three innings. • * • E VERY now and then somebody comes to bat with a scream of rage and tries to 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 Alpermarf the rest of the season, with full pay. And the At lanta club is doing that very thing. And now Whitey, with a wife and three little Alpermans 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 sterner stufT—and is. * • • L OSE one Cracker, gain another.

NEW YORK, July 30—Jewey Smith, of England, quit in the sixth round of his ten-round bout with Soldier Bachus, of New York, at the Atlantic A. A., in Rockaway. last night. The Englishman decided he had plenty in the sixth after he re ceived hard body blows and a ri^ht to the jaw. 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 four winds. Jones' accompanied Ad as manager and will do most of 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 origirr T ly 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 1 will make the wager. The only fear that I have is that Ritchie will not accept. As soon as I get in Los Angeles I will hunt up Ritchie and see if he will take me on.” CUBAN IS WINNER OF CHESS MASTERS’ TOURNEY ■NEW YORK.

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 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 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 liis 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 lad if Promoter McCarey ever uses him in another coast bout. HENNESSY VS. SHEPPARD. NEW YORK.
