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.

Steve Ketchel, the Chicago light weight. will make his next fight against Eddie Johnson, the “Fighting Dane.” They are billed to meet over the twenty- J round route on September 15 at Pueblo, i Col. Up around Canada, Johnson’s ad- ! mirers consider him another Battling Nelson. Kenosha. Wis., promoters have put the ban on all heavyweight boxers.

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. Greetings: How’do, Pelicans! VXD with not an idea of low-rating * Bill Smith and his fighting help t may as well be said that that was j he kind of a game it was. Carl Thompson can pat himself on he back, or as near that section as ie can reach, and say to himself: “Carl-ol’-boy, you are one Lucky r u .V. i In the next chapter will be set forth few of the reasons why Carl-ol’-boy 5 a Lucky Guy. '•ARL was hit safely at least once ' In every inning. Twice he yield- i two hits'in an inning, and once he 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. Morning Game Will Be Played With the Pelicans Labor Day TILL, he spotted himself a bad start by allowing the first and lly genuine extra-base hit to fall in le first inning after giving two ises on balls. Mr. Wallop Smith was the author ’ that honest punch, and it was of ie three-base variety. So Mr. Kissinger was in bad. to ad off. UT Mr. Kissinger’s liability ceased right there, and while spookish Iding. mainly by Bisland, was sav- s Carl’s bacon, the Rube’s alleged lp was doing all it could to take e game away from him and presen: on a platter to the Crackers.

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. So plans may be paid to watch th?

His recent knock-out win over Mike Saul has made him one confident chap T HAT big turn-out Wednesday boosted the Atlanta attendance back into the race with the Birmingham populace. It’s a neck-and neck race again, who will turn out the most Faithful Fans in 1913. The town that does will have earned the right to name itself the Best Baseball Town in the South. Atlanta is THAT TOWN. We all know that. But if we take things easy and let Slagville slip it over on us—what kind of come-back will we have? And Slagville with a team that hardly looks able to yank itself out of the Second Division. Take it the other way 'round. Bill Smith has taken a club that finished in the ruck the last two years. Bill Smith, backed by the directors, has made that club get up and fight for the pennant—and land as good as second, any way. The Crackers have trimmed the Barons in the last six games. And it would be pretty sad if the Cracker fans let the Barons out-draw the Crackers in the closing weeks of the season. Pretty sad—it would be WORSE THAN THAT. It would be QUITTING. And you fellows know what you say about a BALL CLUB that QUITS. The Atlanta merchants and business men are FOR this at tendance record thing. They are giving PREFERRED ATTENTION to requests for afternoon off to go to the BALL GAME. Try it. There’s a row of double-headers coming up now. There's a morning game and an afternoon game Monday— Labor Day. Make your plans to go to BOTH GAMES. Try it. PELS II-Off The bout between Matty McCue an<i Young Eppy, scheduled td take place Monday, has been postponed until a later date. 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. Plan Sunday Ball For Massachusetts \y HAT is going to be the influence vv of woman in baseball? At pres ent there are three club9 in the Na tional League owned by members of the fair but weak sex. Mrs. Britton owns the St. Louis club. Mrs. John T. Brush owns the controlling stock in New York and Mrs. William Locke is owner of the Philadelphia club. Mrs. Britton was the flr«*t woman to own a ball club and her first year's experience was not only .sad, but ex pensive. Mrs. Havener, who owns the Mil waukee club in the American Associa tion. has placed her business worries in the care of a man who knows the game, Bill Armour. Imagine the three feminine owners in the National league at a meet ing of ttiat organization Fine chance they would have against the men magnates. At that, woman is wise, and now and then she puts something over Watch the little game the ladies will play in the National League. 0.4 / T) IInrry Thaw to Muggsy Mc~ Grow. \“Who wan it landed on your jawf** Said Mug guy McGraw to Harry Thau\ “I'm not like you.

Two weeks ago they were going like the Lgro in a moving picture play, and TROOPS AT TRACK; PORTER CLOSES FOR TWO YEARS PORTER, IND., Aug 29—The last of the race hor^s quartered here for the Mineral Springs races, stopped by State troops under Governor Rals ton’s orders, were shipped out of Por ter to-day. The remainder of the fif teen-day race program was aban doned, and it was announced that no more attempts to hold races would be made for at least two years. Two companies of troops were camped on the racing grounds under or lets to remain until ordered home by the Governor. 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 \ XV now come the Pelicans.

Visions of a new pitching record in baseball went by the board when Wal ter Johnson, of the Wasnlngton Sena tors. was beaten after winning fifteen straight games. Collins, of the Boston Red .Sox, and Johnson pitched a gruel ing duel for eleven Innings The Brooklyn Dodgers made five dou ble plays in the game with the Boston Nationals, which 4s close to the season's record.

I Th*> tussle between Ray Collins and Johnson in Boston yesterday was the second notable battle of the season be tween these two pitchers On July 3. • in Boston, the two locked horns in a terrific encounter, and as was the case yesterday Collins won. 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 dosta for the pennant of the Empire League will be played at Valdosta on 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 being made to run special trains be tween the two towns to carry the crowds to the games. “THE OLD RELIABLE" Umpire MeGreevy, of the American League, has resigned because of the ill ness of his wife His place will not be filled REMEDYforMEN PLAYERS BACK IN FOLD.
