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: what he Is receiving Cor 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.

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.

PHAIR. By Joe Agler. 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. BASEBALL SUMMARY ■SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Wednesday. Atlanta at Chattanooga itwo 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 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.
