Greenville. Pa., Dec. 2, 1913.
W. S, Farnsworth, Sporting Editor
The Georgian:
Dear Bill—Received your letter a
few days ago requesting a story from
me as to rny doings since leaving At
lanta. I hardly know how to start
this, but will do the best 1 can to
give you at least a varied account of
same.
of course, you have all the dope
on our series at Knoxville after 0or
departure from Atlanta, but I might
state that it was another case of “a
short series Is no proof of the strength
of a ball club," as we had a hard
lime getting a draw with them in
the three games playecf. Of course,
he boys were mighty lirt'd after ou •
hard finish, and did not play with the
dash and vim that characterized their
work during the last two weeks of
play, for if they had it would have
been curtains for the Class.D outfit
from the start. But in speaking of
this 1 do not want to take any cred
it from them, as they were strength
ened with other players from the Ap
palachian, and no ubt were the
class of their league
After leaving Knoxville, I came di
rectly North and joined the inde
pendent team at this place, which w-.s
at that time making history in inde
pendent circles. 1 played ten games
with them before the close of their
e. a soil. I hit an even .400 and fielded
lets given j 1,000. and then fore had the honor af
yt for the j leading the club In hitting. V.*«
;«>n comes 1 trimmed the Indianapolis (Federal
‘‘fleet that i League club) two out of three, an i
f*u" players j th : s was the club that won the pen-
was man- nant in the Federal. The Pittsburg
»f the 191$ j Federal a managed to win one game
i out of five from us. The Indianapolis
finish bet- dub really had about a second-divi-
t race and j $ion club in a Class A league, but the
f the best j Pittsburg club well, the least said,
k in trim, the better—about Class c would
unt for the ; catch them.
This club here won 53 games, lost 7
and tied 2. meeting all comers, re-
pp-p cordless of class even holding the
IjOI <3 ants to a 7-to-4 score, and mak-
> T . § ini? one of the greatest records ever
? l\i 1 T1P 1 established in independent baseball
j x j_».V4 After the final game here we were
treated to a ten-day vacation at the
Notre Dame favorite summer resort of Pennsv'-
m> Urn a vania. namely. Conneaut Lake, which
wii" applj lias son up beautiful scenery and Is on^
1 t ijtererce of the prettiest lakes in the country,

action 8 can j ^ e certainly enjoyed ourselves to tho
t until 1 he ! 1'Diit at this resort, having every-
ling of the ! essential to do so at our com-'
b« referred j mand. due to the liberality of Mr
’arious con- Prt'wn. owner of the club, who saved
do expense to make our stay there one
,, c ; long to be remembered.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Seventeen
teams will comprise the field of the
twenty-first annual international six-
day bike race, which will begin one
minute after midnight Sunday at
Madison Square Garden. In the pair
ings of the men every consideration
has been made to arrange matters in
such fashion that there will be a
’sprinter” and a "grinder” in each
combination.
This policy has always tended here
tofore to keep the riders hustling all
the time. As the men wno will com
pete this season are the very best
professional performers of the world,
and as special prizes will be hung
up as an incentive toward speed, it is
expected that a new' record will re
sult.
THE MODERN HOLDOUT,

“I'll join my old profession”—

fatigue;
But note he never mentions work,

That mulcts a bluff to join the

Those who have heard Doc White

while we were there that weighed 57
pounds -but we were not in on the
killing.
After returning from this vacation
I resumed duty with the Bessemer
and Lake Erie Railroad at this point,
it being the chief iron-ore carrying
road of the United States Steel Cor
poration. I have been kept pretry
busy ever since. This road has its
headquarters here, and rny experi
ence during the winter months fo*
the past few years, also before my
debut as a professional ball player,
has earned for me the title of J&cx-
of-All-Trades, and one day mav fini
me in the dispatcher’s office, etc. I
exppet to continue here until it is
time to report for spring practice,
which I wish was to-morrow, and
then I hone to take up where I left
off the past season.
Now that the official averages of
the Southern League have been re
leased, I can't help but feel just a
little proud of being declared the
leading hitter for the second time in
two years in a league the caliber of
the Southern, where there are always
so many really good pitchers as has
been the case since 1 joined their
ranks.
Now that I have been honored with
the position of captain of the Crack
ers for the coming season by Man
ager Smith, I expect to be on the Joo
from the jump and hope to do as well
(if not better) than during the past
season. While the loss of Smith, Bis-
land. Conzelman and company is
quite a blow, I look for the Crackers
again to be a formidable bunch, ca
pable of holding their own with any
of them and in the running all the
time.
Let’s hope that the never-die spir
it will continue to be the motto
through the 1914 season, and that
some more baseball history will be
made before the curtain is rung down
on the same. Yours trulv,
HARRY M. WELCH ONCE.

Champion Willie Ritchie -**
By dames J. Jeffries.
T OS ANGELES, Dec. 4. —Joe Riv-
I can not criticise the battle that
Cross put up. He fully lived up to his
reputation for cleverness, brains,
punch and courage, and is entitled to
a great deal of credit for the showing
he made against odds. The battle thar
Cross put up would win nin* battles
out of ten I can not say that no was
outclassed, but Rivers proved i.'ni
sei f cleverer, faster, a better punch* r
and equally as cool headed.
Any other sort of a battle would
have produced different results for
Rivers, no doubt. While he was al-
wavs leading by at least a slight
margin. Cross was ever alert, watch
ing constantly for a chance to get
over his right and win the fight in a
single punch, and he was willing to
mix it and take a chance. He is 1
shrewd ring general, and Rivers had
to keep his head w ith him all the time
to assure victory for himself.
Rivers clearly Won the right to de
mand a return match with Ritchie by
his showing, and I would like to see
these boys matched for a bout here.
