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 * sneaks out by the hack fence be- Jfore you can find h^m Before taking up the Breed of J Horses seriously, devote your pay- *•check each week to the study of a "crooked roulette wheel.

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. BASEBALL SUMMARY ■SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Game* Wednesday. Atlanta at Chattanooga (two games). Birmingham at Nashville.

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.
