News of the Ring Game
Unless Jim Griffin, of San Francisco,
consents to referee the fight between
Willie Ritchie ami Freddie Welch, at
Vancouver, there is danger of the bout,
set for September 20, being called off
Griffin has declined, but Ritchie's man
ager insists that he will accept no other
referee.
The Canadian police have refused to
sanction the proposed bout between
Ritchie and Ray Campbell, billed for
I^abor Day, because of Campbell's poor
showing in a recent fight.
Denver fans will have a chance to see
Frankie Burns and Benny Chavez in
action to-night. The two bantamweights
are scheduled to clash in a ten-round
set-to. and an interesting mill should be
the result. The winner will probably be
matched with Kid Williams.

/% S Rube Kissinger walked slowly
from the field yesterday after
noon, bowed under a tough-
uck defeaf, somebody yelled from the
Hands:
“Never mind, Rube; you weren’t to
Dlame!”
Rube twisted a wry grin out of his
ugged map
“Oh. ye9, I was to blame, all right,’’
ic joined, “I didn't strike ’em all
>ut.’
\\T ELL, that was the kind of sup-
port that beat the Rube.
On the other hand, we have Mr.
Bisland again in a star role. He
handled nine chances* yesterday,
knocking down two other drives with
out a chance to retire the runner, and
made a runaway catch of Abstein’s
Texas leaguer in the eighth that
saved the game for Carl for the sixth
or seventh time that day.
It was Shanley’s failure ‘to get the
same kind of hit from Agler’s bat,
with the bases full in the ninth, that
finally shoved ovqr the Crackers’ win
ning run.
Y\J ELCHONCE was out of the game
v * with a damaged leg, injured at
the plate In the‘game of the day be
fore. It came mighty near being the
first combat of the season Harry had
not played in, but he was sent up to
bat for Carl Thompson In the ninth
and drew' a purposeful base on balls.
Harry lacks fourteen hits of tapping
the record for a season, according to
the latest dope. There are eleven
more games to be played.
A MONG other fielding feats, the
Crackers put on three double
plays by way of fighting off the at
tack of the enemy. Holland to Smith
to Agler. Holland to Agler to Hol
land, and Smith to Agler was the
way the two-ply killings came off.
O EGULAR daily feature: Mobile
won.
Happy thought for to-day: Mobile
has to get up against that Hurling
Hun, the Pestiferous Pole, before
long.

'•ARL was hit safely at least once
' In every inning. Twice he yield-

as nicked three times.
Total: Thirteen hits, one a triple,
ood for four runs.
Rube yielded six hits, three of them
t the flukiest kind they could be
nd get in the box score.
But those hits were kicked, booted,
lauled, hammered and otherwise
visted into five runs—enough to win.
No wonder the Rube was sore.

TILL, he spotted himself a bad
start by allowing the first and
lly genuine extra-base hit to fall in

ises on balls.
Mr. Wallop Smith was the author

ie three-base variety.
So Mr. Kissinger was in bad. to

I T is a matter of tradition that two
games of baseball should be
staged on Labor Day—barring
rain or other untoward events.
Usually the brace of combats are
put on as twin acts in a matinee per
formance. Then it-ordinarily is nec
essary to seat fans all around the
outlying precincts of the expansive
park and make other concessions and
ground rules and so on.
This approaching Labor Day there
is to be a morning game and an aft
ernoon game, so that all tastes may
be suited and every loyal fan accom -
modated as comfortably as possible,
while keeping ever in mind the mo
tive of our present existence--
“Set a new attendance record and
beat Birmingham.”
The morning game is to be played
at 10:30 o’clock, and the p. m. affair
will start at the usual hour—3:30
o’clock.
No parade will be on hand to dis
tract your attention from the princi
pal business of the day.

ARRANGE WORLD TOUR DATES
FOR WHITE SOX AND GIANTS
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.—Here are
some of the places where the Giants
and White Sox, on their world’s tour,
will play:
Yokohama. Toklo. Kobe, Nagasaki,
in Japan; Hongkong. China; Manila.
P. I ; Honolulu. H. I., and a number
of cities in Australia.
Dick Bunnell, who is advance agent
for the tour, has sailed for the Orient
with the idea of arranging more
dates. The teams will sail from Van
couver. B. O., on November 19. Thev
will go first to the Hawaiian Islands,
thence to Japan, China, the Philip
pines and from there to Australia,
where they expect to land on January
1. They will be back in the United
States early in February, according to
their present plane.
T HE theory that the ball club has
quite as much to do with the
winning of a pennant as does
the manager, and the old saw about
a “manager must have something to
manage before he wins fame,” will
have two converts and two strong
ahherents at the end of the good year
1913.
One is Frank Chance, and the other
Joe Tinker.
At the start of the season, great
things were expected of the Yanks
and of the Reds. Why? Because of
Chance and Tinker. Those great
things have failed to come to pass.
Because of Chance and Tinker? Not
at all.
It’s doubtful whether there ever
was as weak a major league ball
club as the one Frank Chance took
hold of. He has been strengthening.
He has made some radical moves.
He has been trying to get possession
of youngsters who would help him
in adding to his reputation as a great
manager.
Joe Tinker has discovered that you
must possess something in the way of
good call players if you are to get
anywhere. His experience as a short
stop and his ability to field and hit
did him a world of good as a ylayer.
I But they didn't bring him success
as a manager.
Marvelous deeds are credited to
j Connie Mack He in hailed as the
; eighth wonder. But it’s our opinion
j that his star would set if he didn't
possess a bunch of .300 hitters.
Connie Mack and his men seemed to
be on the run. but Engineer Mack has
oiled up the machine, and though
there are a few broken cogs, it is slip
ping along again in the old-fashioned
way.
In Tom Lynch’s league, it is all
over but the shouting.
Tvesrh Cross, who Is in Vancouver
at the present time, is simply wild to
take Freddie Welch’s place against Wil
lie Ritchie. As Cross is on the battle
ground it would not be surprising to see
the promoters put the “Fierhting Den
tist’’ on against the champion in case
Welch can not fill the September 20
date.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS, Aug. 29
Citizens of Massachusetts may be
permitted to say for themselves thin
fall if they favor Sunday baseball.
In its campaign for a more liberal
Sunday, the New England League Is
advocating a State referendum, and
as a test an ordinance has been in
troduced in the New Bedford City
Council calling for a vote on whether
Sunday ball shall oe permitted in this
city. It Is admitted that the State
law may prevent, but the sense of the
voters will at lea^t be determined if a
vote is allowed. President Winsper.
of the local New Bedford club, says
he believes if the question was sub
mitted to a referendum in the State
at the coming fall election it would
carry three to one in Massachusetts.
The law under which prosecution-*
for Sunday playing have been made Is
two centuries old, and advocates of
the game say it is not suited for pres
ent conditions

The Crackers now are con
fronted with the task of trim

times in three days, if they desire t

their lead a half length over the Cleve

baseball went by the board when Wal

Sherwood Magee, the hard-hitting left
fielder of the Phillies, alone beat the
Giants Thursday. Magee made two
doubles and a home run, and in addi
tion made a sensational catch.
There were only four games of ball
played in the big leagues yesterday,
two In the National and two In the
American.
THOMASVILLE. GA.. Aug. 29.—
The first of the post-season series of
games between Thomasville’and Val

Friday. The next game will be played
on Saturday They will alternate be
tween the two towns until either
Thomasville or Valdosta has won four
out of the seven.
Valdosta made special request for
the game to he played there on Mon
day, which is Labor Day, as it is
thought that a record-breaking crowd
will attend the contest.
The interest taken in this series of
games is intense. Arrangement* are
