J. Pluv and J. Prince are bitter enemies, and the former J. holds sev eral decisions over the latter ,T. 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.

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.” CUBAN IS WINNER OF CHESS MASTERS’ TOURNEY NEW YORK, July 30.—Winning his thirteenth game, Jose R. Capablanca, of Havana, yesterday became the vic tor in the chess masters’ tournament through which he played without a defeat, duplicating the record of Lasker in a similar tournament played in this city in 1892.

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.
