IT -will be a-case of rest for some

to get into the select circle. Ritchie
has not intimated as yet, whom he
prefers to meet, and will no doubt
leave that part of the bargain to the
promoters.
Kltefele Shew He Can Hit.
Willie demonstrated his real class
against Joe Rivers and the people who
were skeptical previous to this match
were glad to take off their hats to
the voung man who won the title from
Ad Wolgast eight months ago. Willie
not only showed his cleverness, but he
also proved that he can hit.
Tom O'Rourke. the New York pro

again. Carl beat a fellow named Jack
Geyer. at Denver, and now Tom 'wants

not stack Tom McMahon. the Lan

Jimmy Clabby. the claimant of the
middleweight championship, may make
his third tour of Australia. Jimmy has
received a flattering offer from Snowy
Baker, the Sydney promoter, who
took the Stadium over from Hugh Mc
intosh, and the Hammond boy is con
sidering it. There is no real middle
weight in this country today with a
better claim to the title than Clabby
I mean a middleweight who can make
158 pounds ringside and be right. Jack
Dillon and Frank Klaus are claimants
with Clabby, but of the bunch Clabby
is one who can do the weight nicely
and be at his best: in fact. Clabby does
not weight over 155 at any time. An
other thing, Clabby has beaten all the
Australian middleweights and really
holds the title of that country.
Should Jimmy accept the offer he
will not leave until September, as he
-wants to battle with either Dillon or
Klaus on Labor day for the American
title. He has already defeated Eddie
McGoorty. one of the other real claim
ants, and figures that he can go
abroad with the championship if he
can beat the Indianapolis boy, basing
his claim on the fact that Dillon de
feated Klaus at Indianapolis. May 29
last. The Australian sports like Clabby
and would welcome him back, for he
is one of the best fighters, they say,
-who ever visited the Antipodes, hav
ing made good in all his matches in
that country and meeting men who
were much heavier, without complaint.

St. Louis Fans Want a Team; Not Grandstand
Owner of the Cardinals Plans Expenditure of $100,000 for Park Improve
. ments Sport Gossip.
By J0HW
ST. LOUIS. Mo, July 15. President
Britton of the Cardinals selected
a queer time to announce that he
would erect a concrete grandstand at
Robison field this fall. What the Card
inals need most is not a grandstand
but a sepulcher. At present outlook
the team is dead beyond recall. A
pulmotor couldn't raise a gasp in the
entire outfit
And yet Mr. Britton talks of a new
grand stand purchase. Of course, an
owner is at liberty to spend his money
as he pleases. But Mr. Fan is not apt
to coincide when a $10v,000 grand stand
is erected to house a club that is slow
ly and surely headed for the eighth
niche.
Letx Have a Team First.
R. L. Hedcres could whisper a little
advice into the ear of the Cardinals'
owners. After the "year of the big
learn" it finished at the dizsy alti
tude of fourth Hedges decided to
build a concrete stand instead of a
baseball team. He. at least, was some
what justified, for his club had shown
a flash the previous season. But it
was just a flash, and when the club
fell down the following season the big
grand stand loomed large like a great
question mark, following the interro
gation: "Why was not this money spent on
the team instead of on the stand?'
The team first is what the fans
want; they'll find a place from which
to watch a winner play.

HARRY SALLEE, the slim south
paw of the St Louis Cardinals,

year Sallee strayed from the right
path, and drew a suspension and fine

Joe Wood, of the Red Sox. is com

Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker, for

chine, famed for its pennant victories,
have agreed to participate in a bene
fit performance for the widow of the
late Jimmy Doyle, at Chicago in Sep

Chance will be asked to play first base,

Cardinals, shortly after his inaugura
tion into office, announced that he'd
be able to tell very early in his cam
paign as manager whether he was like
ly to prove a success.
"I'll resign by June 15 If I fall to
make good." was the Rabbit's declar
ation. Nothing has been seen of said
retirement document at the league of
fice, and the presumption, therefore,
is that Miller has concluded he is a
success.
Considering the outfit with which
he has to deal. Huggins' viewpoint
is not without its favorable argument

St Louis Federal league baseball club.
The capital stock of the company Is

value of $100 each. One half of the
capital of the company has been paid

Oakland Coast league fans have not
lost interest in their club. President
Leavitt has stated that they are going
to give a practical demonstration of
their loyalty by a rally day in Oak
land Thursday. The club has also
rallied during the last few days, win
ning four games in succession.
Harry Abies, the former El Paso
southpaw, and "Zeke" Lohroan, an
other Texas leaguer, from Waco, fig
ured in the double shift which Oak
land won from Los Angeles Sunday.
Only four hits were nicked off Harry,
while five were allowed by Lohman in
the second game. Abies recently re
covered from an injury to his pitching
hand, which kept him out of the game
during the earlier part of the sea
son. The betting on the Ledoux-Williams
fight at Los Angeles is two to one in
favor of Williams. Frank Galvin.

the little Frenchman in straight punch

Lajoie and
Both Are Virtually Shelved
by Their Club Managers
For the Seson:
Have Great Records as Play
ers and Are Still Good,
but Too Slow.
NEW YORK, Jul 15 For many
summers now old Father Time
has kept an enwous eye on Na
poleon Lajoie and Hans Wagner, two
of the greatest baseball players that
ever lived. But it was not until the
present season that the old fellow suc
ceeded in making any material Inroads
into the efficiency of this duo of dia
mond stars.
The news that Lajoie had been re
tired to the bench to be used hereafter
only as a pinch hitter caused many
regrets among the thousands of fans
who have watched him with pride and
admiration for 18 years. Eighteen years
in the game with a total batting ave
rage of 368. That is the great Cleve
landers record. Where is there an
other man in the game 'who can hope
to eclipse that record. Wagner's bat
ting average, covering his entire period
of service, is a little lower and at the
same time, shorter, he having been in
the game but 15 years. While Wagner
has not yet been retired to the bench,
that injury to his knee received early
in the season is gradually cutting him
down in bis work in the short field.
So far as their battin? eyes are con
cerned, both Lajoie and Wagner are
bitting the ball with as much regular
ity as ever, but their speed has waned
and at this stage of the game's evolu
lution, speed is as essential to the na
tional pastime as the ball and bat
Wagner and Lajoie. What names to
conjure with in the baseball world.
Heirs of the royal purple in the realm
of fandom. Clean and honorable sports
men, both of them, and to honor them
the citizens of their respective cities
have found it a delight
Lajoie the agile. With the grace of
a French dancing master and the eye
of a frontier scout Wagner of the
accurate hands. Master of precision,
ungainly in appearance but with the
sureness of fate. When will baseball
see their likes again?
