at Willie Ritchie, leightweight
rhampion of the world. 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 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 Jus:

Welsh in Vancouver, it is learned on
good authority that he will receive a
guarantee of $15,000 with a 50 per

The Breed of Horses.
THE BREED OF HORSES IS A
1 good deal like the city gov
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 w r ho oughtn’t be trusted with
money, anyway. Auto manufacture
may cease at any moment, and you
would be up against It without an
improved breed of hor«o 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 arc called
Bookmakers, or Personal Friends
They work without pav in the noble
cause When you have paid your
$3 matriculation fee to study the
subject, they merely show you a
UK of horses and request you to
decide in which the breed has been
improved to the greatest extent,
charging you for the privilege only
puch 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 bonehe&d and notoriety-
seeker and are against personal
liberty, and we wish you wouldn’t
read this column any more.
The funds thue accumulated are
devoted to the purchase of high-
grade autos for the bookmakers,
a a they are fat and so weighted
down with bale* 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 tho««e 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
may sometimes make a mistake,
and then he ie 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 Kudy of a
crooked roulette wheel. It’s* great
trair’ng.

C HATTANOOGA, TEXN., Aug.
6.—1 reckon I ought to be feel
ing sort of set up this morn
ing. From what I hear, Major Frank
K. Callaway, president of our ball
club association, came up here to see
President J L. Lillis, of the Jersey
City club, who offered him Horton,
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 rn * feel pretty
good. I like to play ball 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 management.
Getting back to the real business of
the ball dub, 1 want to say that we
took u licking yesterday and we
haven’t any yelp coming. Coveleskle
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 Oonzelman 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.

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 us overwhelmingly a*
we thought we were going to. and
that ie some comfort. Carl Thomp
son earned only praise for nis stub
born defense. And his helpers with
him.
Still, it would have been a grand
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—
* * *
ANOTHER grain of comfort.
** Joe Agler l.s 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 . e ee him
about, but 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
newstinders—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.
* * ■*
Y\J 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
rlldes 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 Frlel, man
ager of the Saints and incidentally of
Mr. Walker, protested to President
Chlvington.
Chivvy upheld the umpire, spying
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 confuse
the worthy umps.
• * *
R IGHT away some loafer touchec
off August Herrmann about it.
The august August is about three-
fourths of the National Commission--
when Ban Johnson is away—and he 13
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 th°
rules to reach anv base by any method
he sees' fit.” So long, it is understood,
a?* 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.
Rut here is another rule:
“Under no circumrtances 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-firsi-
base runner was called out because
the umpire was prejudiced againK
that mode of transportation, or be
cause he really was out?
Mr. Herrmann being notably
strong for the rules, you know.
D 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 abotT
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 e”er, 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!
n-
VOICE FROM CHICAGO.
Welcome little drops of moisture.
Coming down in healthy flocks,
For the ball yard is deserted
And they can not trim the Sox.
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
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 if
they did not realize that the Fourth of
July has went from our midst.
Still, it may be that they have fallen
for the sane Fourth idea and refuses to
blow ufc.
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 was a jilted lover and he sat with
drooping frame.
Quoth he: **I do not care to live
since I have lost my dame.**
And so the lovelorn rummy joined
the motorcycle game.
