FRIDAY, JULY 3.
When If Comes to Far-Sightedness in
Finance Deals, Willie Ritchie Seems
to Be There
!ew York. —J. Pierpont Morgan
rtiQ't have much on Willie Ritchie in
tlu matte# of being far-sighted con
feting financial deals as is evince!
b> Villie’s latest trick to insure him
ageist any too severe a loss of
shekles.
Mllie'‘|s matched up with Freddie
Welh for a bout in Loudon a week
hene. Willie on form, ought to win.
But Villie knowing that he hasn't any
horn town guy to act as referee has
sonu sort of hunch that even if he
doesbutpoint the British lightweight,
■ke eferee may iprove blind to the
fact.ind slip Freddie the crown that
has ecorated the Ritchie dome for
Quiteii time.
It'susually the case when some guy
grabdfhe championship from another
that e carefully avoids meeting .he
old camp in a return match for a
year r two—or maybe never, if the
old chmp still looks spry enough to
have i chance ta recapture the title.
New nampions are mighty careful
about iking chances of losing before
they live spent about a year shak
ing doti the vaudeville managers for
about t,oon a week and picking
lemons it $3,000 to $5,000 per picking
Willie being a champion and hav
ing piayd this game himself, made
sure till Welsh wouldn’t play it on
him by retting some English boxing
promotet to sign him u,p with Welsli
for a mach in November, “no matter
how the July match terminates.” And
Willie fofted the promoter and Welsh
to guaratee him the lion's share of
the purse
So yousee, Willie is fully protect
ed. Shouj he lose to Welsh in July
he is sureof another match with him
in Novemer at which he will get
the bigges.share of the money, even
if Welsh hen is champion. Should
Ritchie gii Welsh an awful drub
bing when hey meet this month, an
other fight wouldn’t draw well, and
Johnson Makes Change
matching Motion
Comparativey „ Poor Showing
This Sprinj Due to Change;
Player Admts It.
Detroit.—ThatJV'alter Johnson’s com
paratively poor liowing this spring is
line to a change ( his pitching motion,
"inch he has natiertently acquired, is
admitted by the geat pitcher.
“1 have been tell by many players,
both on my own tam and those of oth
ers, that I an-, no( pitching as I used
io, and I guess tkrp s something in
that.” said Johnson “Just about a year
ago. you will rentmber, I pitched
against Faikenburg. an d was hit un
usually hard, though | felt fine and
thought I had all mj stuff.
“After that game li kenberg came to
me and Hahl that lie Itiew what was the
matter wish me, andi begged him to
tell me. He said tilt I was working
mure like an overhannd pitcher than i
ever had before and tltt I did not have
as much speed, nor theijump on the ball
that I used to have. I changed my
style there and then, ind went along
fine.
"This spring T apparptly have been
doing tlie same thing, art I am going to
watch myself in the nextgame I appear
in. There is nothing trong with my
army or my health. lam in perfect
condition, but I guess I hve been mak
ing a mistake in not ustngthe same mo
tion I used to.
"Heretofore, I have bee able to pW
my fast hall over the inter of the
plate, end it was seldom fluched by the
hotter, hut of late I have lot been able
to pi*“li paAt many of thm, for they
have met the hall andlYementlv hit it
hard. I shall start right now to ac
quire m> old motion and I tn sure that
my work will show a maarial differ
ence.”

BALL-PLAYER DECISIONS:
CLUBS IN THU/ SECTION
Auburn. N. Y,—The National Board
of Baseball Arbitration today allowed
the claims oT Flayers O’Brien and
I edon against Charleston, a. C„ and
dlsalfeWerl that of Player Sevier
against Amerteus, tin. The services
of Placer Hodge were awarded to Al
bany, Oa.
no promoter would guarantee Ritchie
anything like the amount he usually
demands for exhibiting his prowess.
But Willie will get his big guarantee
because he has taken the precaution
of signing up articles now when it
loojts as if a second Ritchie fight
would be as big a drawing card as the
first.
Manager Frank Chance says: “AH
New York will be talking about the
Yankees two years hence." They're
doing it now Frank, and what they're
saying behind your back is sufficient
grounds for sending them to jail for
a million years.
Ban Johnson recently was quoted
as saying: "It’s bad business for a
player to admit that he is in the game
for what he can get out of it.”
From what Ban says one would
think that Ban thinks a player would
be in the game solely for the purpose
of drawing enough persons to the
park to enable the American League
to pay him (Ban) $25,000 for doing
such chores as chasing around the
country and knocking the ball .players
who jump to another league that wil
lingly agrees to pay them about twice
as much money as the magnates in
organized baseball did.
Is the old Yale steam roller in ope
ration again?
The Eli gang upset the dope by de
feating Harvard on the River Thames,
and the very next day its ball team
took the deciding game of baseball
series from the Crimson crowd. And
now nothing remains for Yale to do
but run rough shod over Bricklev,
Mahan, et al., of the Crimson gridiron
crew in the annual clash this tall. But
taking it from those wdio saw Brick
ley, Mahan and others In action last
year that'll be a harder job for Yale
than trimming Harvard on a river or
baseball diamond.
