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.

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.
