rounds with Joe Get/.

OHTT1NG on the lightweight chain-
pionship has begun. Quite a
number of wagers of the small dimen

the favorite at odds of 10 to 8. The |
commissioners seem to thtnk that the
price against Murphy will lengthen to
10 to 7.
It remains to he seen however,
whether public opinion will continue
m 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 the work done at the rival camps
nvfty be 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 has been looked upon as
a big factor In Ritchie’s favor and
has resulted in the champion being j
installed a pronounced first choice.

TEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Nearly 500
pounds of bone and brawn will
clasli In the Madison Square
Garden ring to-night when Carl Mor
ris and Jess Willard put up their
gloved hands for a ten-round bout.
Willard said to-day that he would
weigh about 230 pounds, while Morris
admitted that he might tip the beam
at 235. These men are the biggest
white heavyweights in the world and
also the tallest. Willard stands 6
feet K inches in his stockings and
Morris is only two inches shorter.
Each was born in 1886 and their ring
♦ xperience Is limited. Willard began
fighting two years ago, while Morris’
first scrap for money occurred in
1910.
In spite of the fact that Willard has
accomplished more in ring contests.
Morris is a 10 to s favorite, probably
because he put tip such a hard fight
with Gunboat Smith in the Garden
early In October. Morris is wonder
fully strong and game. Hp was a
greenhorn when Jim Flynn hammer
ed him for ten rounds here two years
ago, but he lias kept on improving
until lie begins to look like a real
heavyweight. lie lias changed his
style completely. His blows are de
livered straight from the shoulder
with tremendous power, and lie re
lies upon hooks and uppercuts Instead
of the ineffective overhand swings
which he employed when he tackled
Flynn.
Willard probably knows more about
boxing than the Oklahoma giant and
cair hit too. But just what he can
accomplish when Morris puts him
under a heavy lire remains to be seen.
Wiliard is so tall that few of his
opponents have been able to reach
his jaw He moves about with sur
prising agility and has a good left
hand.

I NEW YORK, Dec. 3—On the best !
I of authority It Is learned that Otis j

■ will not be a member of the Giants >

next season. The authority Is none j
other than “Old Doc” himself. He |
can 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 Bt. Louis Car
dinals or any minor league team.
Crandall left New York with hls
wife and baby Immediately after re
ceiving hls world's series check and
Is now at home for the winter on his
broad Indiana acres. He may never
return to New York as an active ex-
ponent of the national pastime. When
he departed he honestly believed he
was saying a long farewell to the
other players. But he may change
his mind.
Crandall’s sudden release to the St.
Louis club last season renewed his
determination to quit. Only those
whose whole major league experience
has been with a winning team real-
lie the sinking sensation that ac
companies a transfer to a tail-ender.
McGraw recalled Crandall ‘Two
weeks after this deal was made, as
the Cardinals did not particularly
need him and the Giants felt that he
was entitled to another slash at a
world's series melon.
But even if he is not traded it is
doubtful whether he will rejoin the
Giants. If lie feels that he can not
be of much help to them he will stay
away.

ONNIE MACK is out with
the alibi for not putting
pinch hitters in place of
Lapp and Plank in the second
game of the World’s Series,
which Matty won after a ten-
inning fight. Connie breads an
iron-clad rule to give his excuses
in an article in The Saturday
Evening Post.
Claiming that "Big Six” has an
advantage o.ver a batter on his
first trip to the 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 the 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.

THE following is taken from
1 the editorial column of the
Johnston (Pa,J Democrat, under
the caption. “Finds His Place.”
“Congress needs able men; the
United States Senate need* able
men; the State Legislature needs
able men. But when John Kinley
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. But
there Is no accounting for tastes.
If Taft and Roosevelt choose to
pick out little careers for them
selves they must beaf 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 he
was a good pitcher. In the end.
as Kingsley says. even.’ man
■goes after his own place.' Base
ball has relentlessirr claimed John
Kinley Tener for its own."
_ * * *
THE above is meant to be bit -
1 Ing sarcasm. The trouble
with many editriaol writers, how
ever, is that they are ven* small-
minded and do not realize that to
be 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 it*
politics.
There are many thinking men
who- if they had the ability,
would rather be president of a
major base baft league than be
Governor of a graft-rid den State,
such as Pennsylvania is.
