There were no mistakes The men battled ‘true to form." and Logan did just about as well as the betting predicted he would dabby goes Fast in a day or two by way of Los Angeles He has been offered a match with George Chip at Milwaukee, and the chances are he will accept .* It was (’hip who knocked out Frank Klaus a short time since. If dabby meets and vanquishes Chip the vic tory will go a h>ng way toward es tablishing dabby's right to call him self middleweight champion. Logan will have to begin again a little lower down the ladder. Like Sailor 1'etroskey, lie was a trifle too ambitious for a new man. It might not bo a bad idea, for that matter, to send Logan and Petroskev togeth er. They are game fellows and are ho equal in the matter of class that a soldier-sailor bout seems to prom ise well.

T HE Willie Ritchie-Tommy Murphy contest, a genuine world's cham pionship dispute, is the next thing to attract the attention of the followers of Queensherry sport. The light weights will meet In Coffroth's Eighth street arena on the night of Decem ber 10. The principals are already in train ing. Ritchie being quartered at Mil ieu’s. near (’olms, while Murphy is in camp at Shannon’s, San Rafael. Light work has begun at both strongholds.

Quite a number of wagers of the small dimen- sion Jiavp been made Ritchie was the ravorlte at odds of 10 to 8 The commissioners seem to think that the price against Murphy will lengthen to 10 to 7. It remains to he seen, however, whether public opinion will continue in the same groove when the date of the match draws nearer The train ing of Ritchie and Murphy will be watched closely by hordes of sports and flie work done at the rival camps may he viewed in such a way as to cause a change of sentiment among betting men. At the start there is every reason for believing that the change in the weight scale lias been looked upon as a big factor in Ritchie’s favor and lias resulted in the champion being installed a pronounced first choice. * * • TOE RIVERS has fought his way J hack to popularity at Los Angeles and already there is well-defined agi tation for another Rivers-Ritchie bout.

It is built for drop kicking, being lighter than the usual football shoe, having a box foe with a straight front and being braced with a steel wire along the instep. Baker laugh ingly attributed his successful drop kick for Princeton against Yale to the new boot. Otis Crandall Will Quit Game for Good NEW YORK. Dec. 3.—On the best ' of authority it is learned that Otis Crandall, the noted emergency crew, will not be a member of the Giants or .in' other baaeball aggregation next season. The authority is none i other than "Old Doc" himself. He cun afford to quit, and he intends to quietly efface himself from the big show He does not relish the idea of being shipped to the St. Louis Car dinals or an> minor league team. Sidelights on Sports By A. H. C. MITCHELL ONNIE MACK is out with the alibi for not putting pinch hitters in place of Lapp and Plank in the second game of t He World's Series, which Matty won .after a ten- Inning fight. Connie breaks an Iron-clad rule to give his excuses in an article in The Saturday Evening Post. Claiming that “Big Six" has an advantage over a batter on his first trip to tlte plate, but that the charm wears off In subse quent visits. Mack found that Lapp struck out the first time he faced Matty, hit sharply to Doyle the second time, and hit safely the third. Therefore he counted on him for further im provement on the fourth trip. As for Plank. Connie declared that Eddie hit the ball harder than any other player on the team during t lie game, having made one safety and being robbed of a hit by Fletcher on another try. Therefore he decided to let Plank linger in the contest But the breaks went the other way, re sulting In criticism for the man ager and a late defense of his actions. • • • nr HE follow ing is taken from 1 the editorial column of the Johnston (Pa.) Democrat, under the caption. “Finds His Place.” "Congress needs able men; the l nited States Senate needs able men: the State Legislature needs able men. But when John Ivinley Tener is sized up one side and down the other the verdict is: 'Back to the diamond.’ This Is not to say that base ball does not open up a great career. True, President Taft be came a college professor, not withstanding the fact that he might have become an umpire. Roosevelt Is lecturing and run ning all of the world outside the boundary of the United States Doubtless he could have secured the presidency of the American League had he gone after it Rut there is no accounting for tastes. ORPHINE I Opium Wklilry an d Dni;- Habtta *«afrd •t Horn* or at Sanitaria* Book oa ink)*# DR B M. WOOLLEY. St-N. V*me» Sanitaria*. A Hama. Gaorpto If Taft and Roosevelt choose to pick out little careers for them selves they must bear the brunt. John Kinley Tener is more as piring. He proposes to step from the Governor's chair to a baseball presidency. It is on and up for him. "It is peculiar, though. John Kinley has been a pitcher and a Governor. Everybody admits be was a good pitcher. In the end- as Kingsley says, every man 'goes after his own place.' Base ball has relentlessly claimed John Kinley Tener for its own.” * *> * rp HE above is meant to be Hit - * lng sarcasm. The trouble with many editriaol writers, how ever. is that they are ven- small- minded and do not realize that to bo president of the National League is to hold an important office that no man need be ashamed of; that more people are interested in baseball than In politics. There are many thinking men who- if they had the ability, would rather be president of a major baseball league than be Governor of a "raft-ridden State, such as Pennsylvania is. • • • E DDIE AINSMITH. the star backstop of the Washington team, has a novel way of keeping In condition during the winter months. He has turned cow puncher and is working on the Nicholas ranch, down in Comfort, in the wilds of Texas. AS the New York baseball re- ** porters failed to swap Mar- quard for Tyler, they are now en gaged in the pleasant pastime of trading the Rube for Nap Ruck er, the crack southpaw of the Brooklyn club. T HE New York reporters are also saying that Bill Oarrigan. the Red Sox manager, is after Russell Ford, of the Yanks. Bill is snowed in down at Lewiston. Maine. As soon as he is dug out we will ask him about it. Pinehurst Autumn Tourney OpensTo-day PINEHURST, N.

Keeler. ND now it is beginning to look as if "Red” Smith, the Atlanta youth who plays third base for the Brooklyn Dodgers, will have another Georgia boy for a side-kick—the same being Claude Derrick, quite a shortstopper, though remembered as a second baseman at the University of Georgia some sea sons ago. There is quite a little story that may be told of the wanderings of Claude, and we are now' going to tell it. r'LAUDE played football as well as ^ baseball at -the State University. Some people fancied ho played it bet ter. but that is problematical. Any way. he was a very good guard and one of the best punters Georgia ever had. But football, in America at least, comes to its normal finish when a man leaves college, and if Claude hadn’t also been a corking inflelder ■he would in all probability be teach ing school down about Clayton, Ga„ where he was engaged in that pas time when Tommy Stouch rescued him and took him to play ball in the South Carolina League. Claude played ball with Tommy’s team. which \(-as the GreenvHle bunch, and Claude played ball well enough to attract the attention, by proxy', of Mr. Cornelius Mack, gover nor general of the Athletics.
