TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Ri FClitE SIGNS Us Boys rUgiatared Unltrd R*at«a PaUnt <HTir« Eaglebeak’s Admirer Deserts Him tor the New Star S 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. (“The Umpir®” will be next in the amazing series.

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. BASEBALL SUMMARY SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Wednesday. Atlanta at Chattanooga (two games). Birmingham at Nashville.

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 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!
