F * OLLOWING la an entirely ex
haustive summing up of the
baseball situation at Mobile yes
terday, where the Crackers apparent

In the third game of the aeries.

^ ATURALLY, Birmingham won
again.
It rained there, too, but held off
until the Barons had sneaked over
the winning tally In the fifth, the
game being Just as nhy as the rules
will stand for and the record books
publish.
But it counts exactly as much In
the percentage column a.i 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
ciulism 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
eeaaon, 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 stuff—and is.

is in awfully Dutch with the saucer

some thrillers out at the Motordrome
last night, but who were robbed by J.

While the showers last evening
dampened a heap of enthuHasm for
a while. It failed to dampen any snirii
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 Morty 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

SMITH QUITS IN SIXTH.
NEW YORK. July 30.—Jewev
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 Rookaway, last
night. The Englishman decided he
bad plenty in the sixth after he re
ived hard body blow's and a right
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
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 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 I get in Los Angeles I
will hunt up Ritchie and see if he will
take me on.”

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 2ft
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 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
