It will he while the magnates are assembled st Columbus that most of these deals win be consummated, as this will be the buying and trading ground for the minor league magnates this year. One of the first items of news to be watted over the wires is a dispatch from Toledo saying that Happy Ho gan of the Venice Tigers la negotiat ing for Catcher Grover Land of the Toledo club. Land is a high class Hogan is going to have some trou ble In landing Land because Walter McCredie of the Beavers is also after the Toledo man and the northern leader has the inside run on this club, owing to the triple alliance between Cleveland. Toledo and Portland. Hap is willing to buy Land and he may be successful in landing him. * * * The Venice club is in for an over hauling and according to reports from the south there will be six or seven new faces on the team next year. Ed d c >!.i!>-r of the Tigers has been sec ond and third so often that he is getting tired of it. He is after a pen nant winner and he Is going to make c stab this season to land a team that Will finish on top of the heap. Many of the old boys will be miss ing.

Dick Bayless. the lead ing hitter of the league, may be dis posed of in a trade. Hap is trying to land a couple of high class pitchers. * * * I' The fans are patiently awaiting the arrival of the big leaguers, who will be in this vicinity this week. They played at Los Angeles yester day before a crowd of 15.000 fans, and Leverenz, the former Angel twirler, was knocked out of the box. The stars will play at Oakland on Thursday and they will hold down the boards on this side of the bay on Friday, Saturday and Sunday after- Orders already are coming in for seats, and the teams are sure to play to big houses while they are here. In fact, the local baseball park will hardly be able to accommodate Sun day's crowd, which is sure to be a record breaker. * * * The lineup as sent us includes Weaver, Rath. Speaker. Crawford, Is bell. Shafer, Kevins, Daly, Schalk, Renz, Faber. Scott and Russell for the White Soxs and Snodgrass. Ma gee, Doyle, Lobert. Donlin, Merkle. Doolan, Thorpe.

Mc- Credie made an offer for Reams to the Boise club, but the publicity given the deal caused the Boise man agement to think that Reams was worth more money. McCredie is will ing to pay the same amount as he paid for lnfielder Davis of the Boise McCredie is not worrying if he loses Reams. He is well stocked with infielders for next season, having Rodgers, Kores. Davis, Lindsay and Bancroft.

Silk Hat Harry's Kids Try the Bean Ball RITCHIE AND CROSS AWAIT THE BELL IN NEW YORK TONIGHT WILLIAM J. SLATTERY After a layoff of four months Willie Ritchie, the lightweight champion of the world, will get into action in New York this evening against Leach Cross, the pride of the Bowery. Although the contest is only a 10 round, no decision affair, still the fans all over the United States are well smoked up over it for the simple reason that a title holder is going to exhibit his prowess with the gloves. It will mark Ritchie's start before a New York crowd. Willie is one of the few ring notables of the present time who never has put up his dukes in the big village. They know him there by reputation only, and the very fact that Cross is an even money choice against him clearly demonstrates that they don't think so j '~~~ww~v~vw^ww^ l much of the champion in New York as they do here in the city, where he was born and raised and learned the game. Local fans hold Ritchie a 10 to 8 favorite over the New Yorker. They are of the opinion that his class will carry him through and that he has an excellent opportunity of registering a knockout. Ritchie has been famous! for his right hand wallop to the jaw ever since he won the title from Ad Wolgast nearly a year ago. Any man with a good, stiff wallop Is always a live one to wager on, according to San Francisco sports. RI LES FAVOR CBOM The New York rules are going to bother Ritchie and aid Cross. The boxing commission of the Empire state has ruled agatnst rough infight ing and also has barred the kidney punch. The performers must break clean at all times and the offender is generally declared the loser on a foul. Ritchie has been used to fighting the straight Marquis of Queensberry style and has been noted for his aggressive ness while in close. He la bound to work under a handicap when he tries the new style of milling this evening. He will be compelled to depend en tirely upon his long range wallops and his ability to outbox the New Yorker. The latter always has been rated a tough bird, for he is game and willing to take a chance. Cross knows the 10 round game to a T. In fact, it is his long suit, although he also has qualified as a 20 round performer. He is going to have a slight edge on his rival because of his knowledge of the rules as they are laid down by the New York box ing commission. Perhaps this is why the fans of Gotham refuse to make the champion the favorite. Ritchie is a slower starter and it will not be at all surprising if Cross has al! the better of the first few rounds. In all his past battles the lit tle champion has failed to cut loose till the other fellow shook him up with many telling wallops. But he is game and when he does get started it is difficult to keep him away. IHT( HIK VS. MIHI'HY Win or lose this evening. Ritchie looks like a certainty to box Harlem Tommy Murphy In this city on or about December 10. Promoter Jim Coffroth practically closed this match last week, although there are a few minor details yet to be settled. But that offer of $15,000 for his end prob ably will tempt the champ. He has realized by now that San Francisco is the place to get the big money. Murphy is regarded by the fans of San Francisco as Ritchie's most deadly enemy, although back in Gotham they seem to look upon Cross as the better man. It Is merely a difference of opinion, but the Judgment of the local fans always has been highly thought of in fight circles everywhere. While they are waiting for the lightweight championship affair here, the fans will have an opportunity of witnessing a good battle between two live middle weights on Thanksgiving afternoon. These men are Jimmy Clabby, one of the shiftiest men of his weight, and Frank Logan, a former soldier, who has all the earmarks of a comer. Clabby figures to win by a wide margin, but one never can tell what ts going to happen In the ring. The eastern boy has the class as a boxer and a ringmaster. Logan is noted for his gameness and his ability to put over a heavy swing, and if he does happen to land one of these, his chances of becoming the middle weight champion will be bright, in deed. Fleming's Selection Suits the Rooters Howard Fleming will captain the University of California team next year. The popular breakaway was named after the game on Saturday and the selection has given gen eral satisfaction. Fleming has played on the varsity squad for the last three years. He was a former San Jose high school student, being one of the stars on that team in his scholastic football career.

NELSON In the ninth the Yanks filled up the bases, Tho' Johnson was pitching great ball; An error, a walk, or a single Was needed to win—that was all. Young Boney, the Yankees' new busher, Came up with a grin on his face; If he got down to first he would win, and He swore he would get to the base. The ball sped to the plate like a cannon; Like a cannon ball over the bay, And Boney, still grinning at Johnson, Stuck his ivory head in the way. "Take your base," called an unsmiling umpire. And the winning run walked in from third— But the songs and the harps of the angels Was all that young Boney had heard. You See, It's This Way ED. W. SMITH IT'S all a matter ot condition, this thing of going 10 rounds without getting hurt much yourself and at the same time messing up an opponent until his friends don't know him. At least that is Packey McFarland's opin ion of the whole thing, and he doesn't mind exploiting the little trick he has of coming out of his shell once every three or four months, whaling the life out of some prominent lightweight and then creeping back into the se clusion of his South Side home and the privacy of a fast automo bile. * » * . ~T'S all a matter of condition, I and this time I never was quite in such perfect shape/ said tbe young fighting financier. "I'll have to blame it on my new handler. Ike Bernstein, this time, for he trained me for 10 days for this contest, and I must say that, although I've thought before that 1 was in great shape, I never really knew what condition was until he took hold of me. Because 1 don't take on flesh rapidly I never have found it necessary to train long or hard for any of my bouts, but, of course, this being my first one tn some time. I want ed to be in perfect shape. And l was Bernstein is a wonder, and I mtend to keep him with me right along now and let him handle my affairs." * * ♦ ASKED If that meant that Bern stein would be the man ager of the camp and attend to all of his business affairs. Packey smiled and merely re marked that his affairs managed themselves, that he didn't need an adviser other than one about his training quarters and a man in the ring to handle the bottle for him. and that in the future he in tended to let it go at that It is evident that Packey is quite wild over the Bernstein method, and as Ike was the "original Packey man," having been his first man ager or handler in the ring when the stockyards kid was a mere in fant as far as boxing was con cerned, he still possessed a great deal of fondness for him. * * * BERNSTEIN. It may be re marked, has the experience necessary for the Job of han dling a star fighter. He was trainer of the various teams for three years at the University of Wisconsin and later spent nearly two years at the University of Indiana at Bloomfngton, con ditioning all of the athletes at botli places. He won the high est regard as a trainer of the col lege athlete and the varied ex perience he gained in these schools has made him one of the best in the country. So it is small wonder that Packey be lieves he has a prize in Ike. * * * THE Mock yards pet doe* not believe that the proposed match with Mike Gibbons of St Paul will ever materialize. The weight is going to be the sticking point, as Packey. even while not admitting that he is a welter weight in the true sense of the word, does not consider it would be wise to let any oppo nent go beyond the 142 pound notch. Perhaps, for a consider ation. Mike might do something like that, as he was well inside the 145 pound limit the night he boxed Spike Kelly in Kenosha, but he he was down pretty fine that evening, and it looked as if three pounds more would neces sitate an operation or an am putation of some sort. * # * HARRY BREWER, ■ Kansas City welter weight, who is something of a globe trotter, was In the last week visiting his parents here after one of hia peri odical trips to Europe. Brewer was away for several months and traveled extensively on the other side. But he had time enough to train for a battle they gave him Call's Eastern Fight Expert In Paris, a middle weight named Leboud getting the decision over him in 20 rounds. He says the boxing game is in fine shape over there, that all of the weekly shows draw well and that, though his bout was considered unimpor tant, it netted him $750. Jimmy Fox Is Ready For His Ten Round Battle With Moore Ray Moore and Jimmy Fox. two of the fastest boys of their weight in the city at the present time, are in fine shape for their 10 round contest, which is to be decided at the West OaklaryJ club on Wednesday night. Moore has been working hard at the Reno club in Sixth street and is reported to be in his best form. Fox, who is training at the Association Athletic club, is also In good shape, and the promoters of the club are looking forward to a rattling bout. Promoter Simpson has sent a wire to Los Angeles offering Eddie Campi a match with the winner, and as Eddie has announced his willingness to box here he may agree to the match. With this end in view Moore and Fox are leaving no stone unturned In their ef forts to get into the best of condition. — the first train leaves SAN FRANCISCO Third St. Station 5:00 P. M.
