F OLLOWING 1# an entirely ex haustive summing up of the baseball situation at Mobile yes terday, where the Crackers apparent ly were doomed to encounter the Gulls In the third game of the series. This Is the complete Idea: **0h Rain, where is thy stingt" If you want to add anything more, go ahead. • • • ■^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 **hy as the rules will stand for and the record books publish. But It count# exactly as much in the percentage column an 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 Alperman 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 Alperman dependent on his pay envelope, can take his own time and get well comfortably from j 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. * * • J OSE one Cracker, gain another.

I F’ 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 W'ho had been expecting to see some thrills out at the Motordrome last night, but who were robbed bv 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 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 h» team ed with the speed demon from the Lone Star State. The revised and complete program for to-night follows: First 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 miles. 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. (First 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—Half-hour team race. Teams—Graves and McNeil, Schwartz and Lockner, Shields and Richards Luther and Lewis, Renel and Glenn. (No rider can remain on track over twenty consecutive minutes.)

RITCHIE LIKELY 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 1 Ad as manager and will do most of I 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 l.#os 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 *<■ 111 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 lpast 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 m 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 Mtnmina. 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 MeCarey ever uses him in another coast bout. HENNESSY VS. SHEPPARD.
