AN FRANCISCO, A UK 6—Fred
die Welsh is to srot first crack
at Willie Ritchie, lelghtwelght
champion of the world. Ritchie to
day accepted the offer made by a
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 James W. Coffroth, of this
city, who hoped to match Tommy
Murphy and the champion 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 Just
what he is receiving for fighting
Welsh In Vancouver, It is learned on
good authority that he will receive a
guarantee of $15,000 with a 50 per
cent interest in the moving pictures.
T.'e champion will depart to-dav
for the mountains to shoot deer and
Incidentally get himself a good start
In the training line.
Sports and Such
FAMOUS IN SPORT—III.
The Breed of Horses.
THE BREED OF HORSES IS A
1 good deal like the city gov-4
ernment—it is in constant need of
improvement. These improvements
eat up a lot of kale, but they are
necessary, and the kale comes from
men who oughtn’t be trusted with
mon«*y, anyway. Auto manufacture
may cease at any moment, and you
would be up against It without an
improved breed of hor.w to take you
to the office, especially if there
should be a subway strike on at
tbe same time.
The men who have the Breed of
Hor^P nearest at heart are called
Bookmakers, or Personal Friends.
They work without pay In the noble
<ause When you have paid your
$3 matriculation fee to study the
subject, they merely show you a.
Ile*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
such sums of money ns you may
have about you at the time. If you
cannot see how this improves the
Breed of Horses you are an un
mitigated bonehead and notoriety-
seeker and are against personal
libertv. and we wish you wouldn’t
read this column any more.
The funds thus* accumulated are
devoted to the purchase of high-
grade autos for the bookmakers,
as they are fat and so weighted
down with bales of cush 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 thoee de
voted to the improving of the rate
of call money.
From this you can see that the
Breed of Horses is not a compli
cated subject for the intelligent.
You must merely never disagree
with a Bookmaker’s opinion on the
breed of anv horse. Of course, he
mav sometimes make a mistake,
and then he Ip so ashamed that he
sneaks out by the back fence be
fore vou can find him.
Before taking up the Breed of
Horses seriously, devote your pay
check each week to the study of a
crooked roulette wheel. It’s great
trn ining.

Turned Down Trade for joe Agler
+•+ +•+
Jersey City Offered Borton for Him
One Comfort, the Pole Is Out of the Way for the Time Being
IT WAS A TOUGH GAME FOR THOMPSON TO LOSE
r
By Joe Agler.
C HATTANOOGA, TENN., Auk
6.—I reckon I ought to be feel
ing aort of set up this morn
ing. From what I hear, Major Fratfk
E. Callaway, president of our ball
club association, came up here to see
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 plfty bull for Atlanta,
and it certainly cheers a fellow up
to know be is wanted on the Job.
I’ll Just keep on doing the best l can
for the Crackers and the managemen*.
Getting back to the reaLbusiness of
the ball 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 in 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 Oorizelman and
Price to work this afternoon, we ought
to get no worse than an even break at
tlie outside. Then we tackle the Vols,
and you know they looked pretty easy
last time.

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 is* some comfort. Carl Thomp
son earned only praise for his stub
born defense. And his helpers with
him.
Still, It would have been a grand
little achievement to havd 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 la going to stay with
us a while longer.
Major (’aliaway, president of the
Atlanta Baseball As.m>ciatl«>n, traveled
to Chattanooga Monday to meet
President Lillis, of the Jersey City
club. Major (’aliaway didn’t know
what Mr. Lillis wanted to see him
about, but Mr. Lillis’ wire said it was
urgent.
Mr. Li)lis 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 anothef
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.
* * .♦
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
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 Friel, man
ager of the Saints and incidentally of
Mr Walker, protested to President
Chivlngton.
Chivvy upheld the umpire, paying
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 confus*
the worthy umps.
• « »
R IGHT away some loafer touched
off August Herrmann about It.
The august August Is about three-
fourths of the National Commission—
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:
,f A player is permitted under th°
rules to reach any base by any method
he see.« fit." So long, it Is understood,
ap the .said player proceeds under his
own steam.
Mr. Herrmann remarked further:
“He mav run. jump, crawl or walk
op his hands, so long as v he traveis
within the lines. This is provided in
the rules of the game, and no umpir*
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 circumstances 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-
\use 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 ’o
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
series—Bender or Plank.
And now here's Coombs!
