S AN FRANCISCO. Auk. •.—Fred
die Welsh is to get first crack
at Willie Ritchie, lelghtweight
champion of the w.orld. Ritchie to
day accepted the offer made by .1
Vancouver club for a twenty-round
contest there on September 1 with the
Englishman as his opponent.
The taking of the Vancouver match
followed a four-hour talk between
Ritchie and Janies VV. Coffroth, of this
city, who hoped to match Tommy
Murphy and the champion t for Sep
tember 9. Ritchie's demand on Cof
froth was far greater than the local
promoter cared to consent to and
negotiations were dropped.
While Ritchie would not say jus*
what he is receiving flor lighting
Welsh In Vancouver, it is learned on
good authority that he will receive a
guarantee of JIB.000 with a 50 per
cent Interest In the moving pictures
The champion will depart to-dav
for the mountains to shoot deer and
Incidentally get himself a good start
in the training line.
FAMOUS IN SPORT—III.
The Breed of Horses.
'The breed of horses is a
* good deal like the city gov
ernment—it is In constant need of
Improvement. These improvements
eat up a lot of kale, hut they are
necessary, and the kale comes from
men who oughtn't he trusted with
money, anyway. Auto manufacture
may cease at any moment, and you
would be up against it without an
improved breed of hor««e to take you
to the office, especially If there
should be a subway strike on at
the same time.
The men who have the Breed of
Horses nearest at heart • called
Bookmakers, or Personal Friends.
They work without pay in the noble
cause When you have paid your
»$3 matriculation fee to study the
^subject, they merely show you a
li.«t of horses and request you to
decide in which the breed has been
improved to the greatest extent,
charging you for the privilege only
mich sums of money as you may
have about you at the time. If you
cannot see how this Improves the
Preed of Horses you are an un
mitigated honehead and notoriety-
seeker nnd are against personal
liberty, and we wish you wouldn’t
rend this column any more.
The funds thin* accumulated are
devoted to the purchase of high-
grade autos for the bookmakers,
as they are fat and so weighted
down with bales of rush that it
would injure the breed of any horse
forced to haul them to the track.
The Track Is the Institution de
voted to this form of altruism. In
Its ideals It is not unlike those de
voted to the Improving of the rate
, of call money.
" From this you can see that the
Breed of Horses 1s not a compli
cated subject for the Intelligent.
“'You must merely never disagree
•with a Bookmaker's opinion on the
J breed of any horse Of course, he
*m»y sometimes make a mistake
Jand then he Is so ashamed that he

C HATTANOOGA, TENN., Aug.
6.—1 reckon I ought to be feel
ing sort of H€*t up this morn
ing. From what I hear, Major Frank
E. Callaway, president of our ball
club association, came up here to «ee
President J. L. Lillis, of the Jersey
City club, who offered him Borton,
recently of the White Sox, and an
other player for my humble self
They tell me Mr. Callaway turned
down the offer before the deal had
got beyond the debating stage.
Well, that makes me feel pretty
good. I like to play hall for Atlanta,
and it certainly cheers a fellow up
to know he is wanted on the Job.
I’ll Just keep on doing the best I can
for the Crackers and the managemen*.
Getting hack to the real business of
the hall club, I want to say that we
took a licking yesterday and we
haven’t any yelp coming. Coveleskie
was right, and when he is right he is
a bear. He ought to have got a shut
out except for a break in the luck.
Carl Thompson, too, was lb grand
trim, though the Lookouts tied up
the game in the ninth inning when he
hit a batsman with the bases full.
Then another hit batsman, an error
and a base hit untied it in the tenth.
But now we have the big Pole out
of the way, and with Conzelman and
Price to work this afternoon, we ought
to get no worse than an even break at
the outside. Then we tackle the Vols,
and you know they looked pretty easy
last time.

TUESDAY'S GAME.
Bv O. B. Keeler.
O NE wad of balsam soothes the
sting of defeat:
The tough-grained Pole is
out of the way.
We expected it—and we got it. We
didn’t get it as overwhelmingly a?
we thought we were going to. and
that i« some comfort. Carl Thomp
son earned only praise for .iis stub
born defense And his helpers with
him.
Still, it would have been a rrand
little achievement to have trimmed
the Irish Newsboy, while the trim
ming was so nearly good. One lit
tle scratch tally in the ninth, now—
• • •
A NOTHER grain of comfort.
Joe Agler is going to stay with
us a while longer.
Major Callaway, president of the
Atlanta Baseball Association, traveled
to Chattanooga Monday to meet
President Lillis, of the Jersey City-
club. Major Callaway didn’t know
what Mr. Lillis wanted to see him
about, hut Mr. Lillis' wire said It was
urgent.
Mr. Lillis wanted our old friend.
Joe Agler. Mr. Lillis wanted Joe so
much that he offered Borton, recent
ly a White Sox, who went to New
York In the Chase trade and to J. C.
for Jack Knight. Also Mr. Lillis of
fered boot in the shape of another
player.
Major Callaway is reported by the
newsflnders—entirely apart from what
Joe himself heard about It—as turn
ing down the deal as soon as he
found out what Mr. Lillis wanted.
Suits us fine.
• t «
W HEN the official wranglers In any
old league run out of wrangling
material, they usually dig up the
clever and start in on the proposi
tion of a ball player being out if he
slides Into first base, and. if so, why
not?
There are plenty of wranglers on
both sides. The last time the crool
EAST MEETS WEST TO-DAY
IN BIG TENNIS DOUBLES
war broke out It was in the Ameri
can Association. But it did not stay
there.
An honest German umpire named
O’Brien called out a guy named Dixie
Walker for sliding bean-first to sack
No. 1 In St. Paul. Billy Fru. ’Man
ager of the Saints and Incidenta. y of
Mr Walker, protested to President
Chivlngton.
Chivvy upheld the umpire, paving
something about an "unwritten law” ^
promulgated, or words to that effect,
by the umpires as a rebuke to base-
runners who are merely trying tc
‘‘make the play close,” and eonfusv
the worthy umps.

R IGHT away some loafer toucheo
off August Herrmann about It
The august August is about three-
fourths of the National Commb’sion—
when Ban Johnson Is away—and he is
ever ready to blow up about any
thing.
This time he performed as per
schedule.
Mr. Herrmann said, in part:
“A player Is permitted under the
rules to reach any base by any method
he seep fit.” So long, It Is understood,
ap the said player proceeds under his
own steam.
Mr. Herrmann remarked further:
"He may run, Jump, crawl or walk
on his hands, so long as he travels
within the lines. This is provided in
the rules of the game, and no umpire
or league president or anybody else
has any right to change the rule.”
* * •
M R. CHIVINGTON. please copy.
But here is another rule:
“Under no circumptances shall a
captain or player dispute the accuracy
of the umpire’s judgment and de
cision on a play.”
Rule 65, if you want to look It up.
And what we should like to inquire
is. how is Mr. Herrmann to decide
from the protests of outraged man
agers whether the sliding-to-flrst-
base runner was called out because
the umpire was prejudiced against
that mode of transportation, or be-
JAKE STAHL MAY SUCCEED
CALLAHAN AS HEAD OF SOX
cause he really was out?
Mr. Herrmann being notably
strong for the rules, you know.
* * •
T^ROP a little tear for Cornelius
^ McGillicuddy.
As if it weren’t tough enough to
lose half a series to the wretched
Browns, and have the furious Naps
roaring along, only eight or ten games
behind, here comes the news that Jack
Coombs, famous iron man, is abou'
ready to come back.
Coombs has been out of the game
since early in the spring. Typhoid
was the cause. Now he is reported
bigger and better than ever, just like
a circus.
Pity poor Connie! He was won
dering and wondering who would
pitch the opening game of the world’s
seriep—Bender or Plank.
And now here’s Coombs!
VOICE FROM CH IC/>
Welcome little drops of ire,
Coming down ip health!/ jiocks,
Fur the hall yard is deserted
And they can not trim the *S'o^r.
Horace Fogel is In Indianapolis talking
things over with the Federal League.
Indianapolis has no ordinance prohib
iting unnecessary noises.
The way to suppress Mrs. Pankhurst I
is to sentence her to watch a gang of [
cricketers playing a double-header.
Belgium refuses to fall for Jack John
son, but he still has Dahomey and Abys
sinia to fall back upon. In fact, his ar
rival in Abyssinia would cause great re
joicing—in other parts of the world.
As we perpetrate this paragraph the
Naps are seven and one-half games be
hind the Athletics. The said Naps have
fully as much show as a horse seven
lengths behind Sysonby In the last quar
ter.
Those Naps have been playing as il
they did not realize that the Fourth ot
July has went from our midst.
Still, it may be that they have fallen
for the sane Fourth idea and refuses to
blow up.
In answer to the rumor that he in
tends to quit.. Frank Chance avers that
he is satisfied with the outlook. It must
be great to work for that kind of a
boss.
JUMPING OFF.
It teas a jilted lover and he sat with
drooping frame.
Quoth he: “/ do not care to live
since / have, lost my dame.”
And so the lovelorn rummy joined
the motorcycle game.
