Wants to Battle Freddie Welsh
. By H. M. Walker.
AN FRANCISCO, July 23—
S Charley White is billing him
self as the man who cut Willle
Ritchie down to whipping size for
Welgh, which is about all the satis
faction the Chicago boy can get out
of the fact that he handed Ritchie a
decisive ten-round beating only to
be barred from championship honors
by reason of the “no-decision” fash
fon which prevails in and around the
foam-flecked city of Milwaukee,
White is due to arrive on the
coast ingide the next few hours, and
and his advance notices are to the
offect that he will linger as long as
Messrs. McCarey and Coffroth can
provide employment for him.
Joe Azevedo gets the first chance
againgt the Chicago crack. Joe and
Charley will meet in a scheduled
twenty-round argument in Jim Cof
froth’'s Eighth street arena on the
night of August 7.
The match will bear no champion
ship flavor, but the winner may have
considerable language to hurl in the
direction of the new title holder.
“W HITE may consider himself
the technical lightwelight cham
plon, but these neat angles have 11t
tle weight with the public,” said Cof
froth last night, “1 will put White
and Azevedo in the ring on their
merits only, and if the winner can
coax a match out of Welsh, 1 can see
where McCarey, Tortorich and myself
will lose some good sleep”
Coffroth also contends that Welsh
is now a great drawing card on the
coast, notwithstanding the fact that
the public, in times past, has shown a
strong tendency to turn its back on
the ring when the clever but unin
teresting British boxer was perform
ing.
“The words ‘lightweight champion
of the world' will pass away any me
diocre work that Welsh may have
done and make of him a prize draw-
Ing card. Also the fact that an Eng
lishman holds the lightweight title for
the first time puts an internationa!
tag to any of Welsh's contracts, and
he will pack the house any time he
starts,” is Coffroth's view,
Ritchie Coming With
“‘Movies"” to Show He
Was ‘‘Robbed" of Title
CHICAGO, July 28.--Willle Ritchie,
who lost his lightweight title to Freddie
Welsh by Referee Corri's decision, sailed
yvesterday with Manager Leonard Hicks
from England on the Vaterland. Willle
will bring a set of films of the Welsh
bout and will ask the Government au
thorities to allow & private exhibition
of the movieg to show local newspaper
men that the decision by which he lost
the title was unjust.
Ritchie plans to come direct to Chi
cago after landing in New York.
White Is En Route
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-—-Charlie
White, the lightweight boxer, who is to
meet Joe Azevedo next month in - a
20-round bout, telegraphed to Promter
James W. Coffroth from Wels, Nev.,
saving that he is on the Overland train
and will arrive to-day
Although Coffroth does not care to
admit it, the telegram was a relief to
him Since White boxed Stanley Yoa
kKum in Denver a week ago, the promter
has had no idea as to the Chicago box
er's whereabouts, and he was a hit wor
ried White will have more than two
weeks to get into condition for the Aze
vedo go and Coffroth Is satisfied now
that he knows where his man is

- To N. Y. Americans
‘h NEW YORK, July 23.—President Far
rell, of the New York American League
| ¢club, announced to-day that he had pur
chased Clarence Kraft, over whom a
| threatened strike impended early yes

LABRY LOSES TO KELLY.
EVANSVILLE, IND., July 23 -—Kid
Labry, of this city, lost the decision to
Joe Kelly, of St. Louis, here in the
sevnth round, after he had broken his
right hand last night. ‘
MURE new blood ig to come to the
coast ring, “Phantom” Mike
Gibbons has accepted Coffroth’'s terms
to “meet any middleweight in the
world,” and will be sent into the his
toric Daly City ring on the night of
August 21,
‘I had planned to put George Chip
in agalnst Gibbons, but I now find
that Jimmy Dime has queered the sit<
uation by matching Chip with Pe
troskey. This is a move that I can't
understand,” says Coffroth.
“From all Les Angeles reports,
Chip everlastingly whipped Petroskey
‘l!fl\\'n there. Why the men should be
rematched for San Francisco is he
‘y«md me. 1 figure that Chip has
‘nothing to gain in such a match. On
}t'he other hand, he may suffer some
accident that will put him out of the
running.
1 “As it looks now, 1 will have to
‘give Billy Murray the August date
against Gibbons. The fact that Mur
ray had all the better of Chip for the
first ten or eleven rounds, or until he
grew too ‘sure’ of himself, is enough
to justify giving Billy this chance.”
» . -
THE “fat" September 9 date hore‘
will go to the winner of the
White-Azevedo go. Just who thel
“other man” will be remains to be
seen, but Coffroth admits that he has
both Willle Ritchie and Freddie
Welsh in view,
The “wise men"” of this falr city
were badly “stung” on the result of
the Carpentier-Smith affair. A care
ful digesting of the cabled accounts
of the London bout would indicate
that while Smith may have been
guilty of a technical “foul” no dam
age was done by the blow in-ques-’
tion. The Market street verdict lsl
that Referece Eugene Corri lost his
head at a critical time and pulled a
“honer.”
The Johnson-Moran fizzle, the tame
Welsh-Ritchie waltz and the unsatis
factory finish to the Carpentier-Smith
battle all have left more or less of a
bad taste in the vublic’s mouth. It
i unfortunate tha, chese “bloomers” !
should come right at a time when |
there promises to be a European re\-}
vival of boxing that will send the‘
game to the highest possible pedes
tal of professional sports. |

‘O.B. Forces Fear Feds'—Knabe
Harmony Reigns in New League
| By Otto Knabe.
(Manager of the Baltimore Federal
League Team.)
RGANIZED baseball is up against
O it for an alibi to explain the
unusually large number of run
ing between players and umpires, and
has come to the conclusion that the
Federal League is to blame for this
condition. Of course, no one in or
ganized baseball will admit that the
“trust” is seeking an alibi, but never
theless such is the case.
Seldom in the history of the game
have there been as many near-riots in
major league ball as have occurred
this year. If the National and Amer
ican Leagues were located in the
bushes conditions could not have
been worse than this year. Nearly
\L-very paper you pick up contains an
account of some major league ball
plaver being suspended for a run-in
with an umpire in either the National
or American League, but strange as
it may appear to the average fan, this
condition does not exist in the KFed
eral League and the magnates of the
junior organization are not forced to
seek an alibi by laying the blame for
conditions on someone else,
- . »
OF course, the charges made by the
supporters. of organized baseball
that the Federal League is responsi
ble for the umpire baiting is absurd
on the face of the charge, but at the
same time it shows that organized
baseball, whether it wishes to or not,
has to recognize the Federal League
as important competition.
The charge made by the supporters
of organized baseball is that the at
tempts of the Federals to wean play
ers away from the other two major
leagues has resulted in an edict being
extended to the umpires to go easy
in regard to banishing players from
the game for the reason that such a
banishment might result in the play
er jumping to the Federals. By the
very fact that organized baseball, if
such an edict were issued. took into
consideration the Federal ILeague
shows that the Federals have in
stilled fear in the heart of the oppo
sition.
* - .
I'l‘ is absurd to suppose that a play
er would jump to the Federal
League merely for the reason that he
was fired from a game for umpire
baiting. The facts of the case are
that organized baseball fears that ils
CLEVELAND, July 23.—Records fell
vesterday at the second day of the grand
circuit harmness races at North Randall
track. In the first heat of the 2:03
pace, Dr. Burns, Jr., forced William,
champion, three-year-old pacer of 1913,
to a mark of 2:02, a record for a four
vear-old pacer. William did the second
heat in 2.02%. The two heats are the
foemeait ever paced by a four-year-old
or by a stallion. In the third and final

Star \Winter established a new mark of
205 for the event, and also trotted the
fastest mile of the year on- any track.
In a special event Etawah 3d, owned
by Frank G. Jones, of Memphis, Tenn,,
trotting a mile in 2:04, established a
world's record for a four-year-old trot
ter of either sex. The old record,
2:05',, was made in 1843 by Directum.
Geers drove Etawah and was paced by
a runner. In the morning Geers drove
Anvil, another Jones horse, a mile in

MOBILE, July 23.—Scout Sam Ken
nedy, of the Detroit American League,
who is in the eity, has announced the
purchase of Outfielder William Jacob
sen, of the Chattanooga Southern As
sociation club. Jacobhsen is rated as one
of the best hitting outfielders in the

SOX BUY OUTFIELDER.
GRAND FORKS. N, DAK,, July 23.—
John Altman, left fielder for the Grand
Forks club. of the Northern League, is
a White Sox, The offer made by Com

batted 218 in 56 games, being a con
sistent fielder and a steady sticker.
He goes to the Sox August 15,
players will realize the superior con
ditions which surround players in the
Federal League and if such an edict
were issued it was for that reason.
That is because the “trust” feared
that if the stars of the game were not
treated with unusual respect that
they would cast their lot with the
rival league.
During my years on the diamond 1
have been put out of the game on
several occasions, but it did not cause
me to think of jumping to a rival
league, even if one like the Federal
League had been doing business at
that time, but on the other hand, I
usually took into consideration that
the umpire was only human and was
trying to do his best and that he had
no particular reason to single me out
for punishment.
There is no question, however, but
organized baseball needs some kind
of an alibi for present conditions and
one is as good as another.
» % ®
TAKE the Federal League on thei
other hand. President Gilmore
has gone to a great deal of trouble in
selecting his staff of umpires and in
sists that they follow his rules to the
letter. As a result there has been
vory‘ittle friction between players
and pires and the games have been
run off with greater dispatch than
characterize the games in either of
the other major ieagues.
There is really greater harmony in
the Federal League than ever will be
possible in the ranks of organized
baseball for the reason that the mag
nates of the Federal L.eague are try
ing to treat their players like human
beings and not like vassals.
At the league headquarters it is
possible for the humblest player to
get a conference with President Gil
more at any time without having to
go through a lot cf red tape, and this
in itself womks for harmony.
Can you imagine the president of
either of the other rival leagues be
ing willing to grant a conference to a
player at any time?
It is this very lack of red tape
which creates the feeling of com
radeship in the Federal League and
causes players and magnates all to'
work for the common endG; that is,
giving the public the best grade of
baseball possible, and there is no
question but the Federals are doing
this very thing. and for that reason
organized baseball has been forced to
sit up and tzke notice and entertain
a wholesome respect for the new
league.
