W. NATJGHTON. SAN FRANCISCO, June 9. While the Joe Rivers-Willie Ritchie bout in San Francisco on July 4 -will be a world 's championship event, it will not by any means be the final test of superiority, bo far as the present batch of lightweights is concerned. The winner of the Leach Cross-Bud Anderson affair at Los Angeles on the same date will have to be reckoned with before we can boast an "undisputed champion'," and so will Harlem Tommy Murphy, who, according to actual work done, rates as high in his class as any 133-pounder in the ring today.

So far as the West is concerned the Ritchie-Rivers contest rivals In importance any fight that has taken place along the rim of the Pacific in many years. It is northern California against southern California, and this means unlimited interest and a lively betting matter. What ads a zest to the prospect is that the two lads compare in such a way that there is all manner of room for argument as to which is the better fighter. Each of them is a ringman of the dashing order, and it will require the coming contest to tell which is the cleverer. This is a case where the possession of the championship title counts for a lot when comparisons are in order.

A champion is always considered a crack-erjack, and any "attempt to belittle his past performances will be met with the retort, 'Well, he must be a good man or he would not be champion." In the present instance Ritchie's friends have to fall back on the fact that their man is champion- when the records of the rival fighter are being sized up. To be frank about it, Ritchie's record does not compare with that of Rivers from a fighting Willie has performed brilliantly once or twice, but he has not been thoroughly tried out, whereas the Mexican has been as busy as Terry McGovern in the latter 's palmiest days. The Los Angeles lad has fought champions, war-champions and mediocre men, and while some defeats have been marked up against him, he has done more than sufficient to offset his losing performances. It might almost be said that luck has played a greater part in Ritchie's career than in Rivers'. Take their experiences with Wolgast, for instance.

Ritchie took the championship from Wolgast on a foul aud Rivers lost to tWolgast af ter a blistering, close fight on in which opinion will be always divided as to which boy should have been returned winner. In Los Angeles, of course, they argue that iRvers, even though defeated, gave Wolgast a more gruelling battle than Ritchie did. It is in Los Angeles that one hears most frequently the remark that Ritchie is simply a lucky individual, an accidental champion who gained his laurels through an opponent's foul punch. And feeling that way about it, Los Angeles, if it keeps up its present mood, will back Rivera to its utmost dollar for the big event on the Fourth. While one frequently hears opinions detrimental to Willie Ritchie in San Francisco, it can be said with safety that the majority of the resident fight fans consider him a worthy champion.

It may be, of course, that local pride, which is always a strong factor in instances of this kind, has much to do with the good opinions that prevail. Then again1, Ritchie's wining personality has its effect in gaining him friends and keeping them, and each and every one of his supporters, when asked to point out wherein Ritchie outshines Rivers as a ring star, will have recourse to the old claim, "Well, he must be good or he would not be champion." The San Franciscans who do not like Ritchie's chances argue in the same manner that the Los Angelans do. They say that Ritchie's battles can be counted on half the fingers of one hand that he is simply a champion through a champion's mistake. And they insist that if Ritchie had faith in himself and had been possessed of the fighting spirit of the Queensberry warriors of a dozen years ago he would not have rested on his oars nor taken a pride in his ill-gotten laurels, until he had matched himself with Wolgast again and had ihown that he was the master in a fight in which flukes never had any part. To those who argue in this fashion it should be said that commercialism has taken the place of chivalry in the prize ring aud that few latter-day champions experience qualms over the manner in which they gain titles.

The thing is to get 'em and hang on to 'em and use them as levers for big theatrical dates. In the days when a newly made champion might have said, "I jtlon't like the way the title came to me, and I 'm going to give hat guy another chance," there were no theatrical agents watching hungry-eyed for opportunities to book the latest heroes of the prize ring. No, sir. .216 1 si .200 THE 8LUGGFES. Eitra HR.

The deposition of the former president of the Phillies and his disbarment from the National league has served a double purpose. It has broken up forever a clique which used to cause no end of trouble to the administration of the senior major league. It has vindicated Representative Gallagher's alleged "trust" in the eyes of the public, because Horace has failed dismally to furnish any proof of manipulation or dishonesty in his long promised expose. Occasionally comes a low growl from Washington way to the effect that congress intends to probe organized baseball to determine whether or tot it is a trust. The rumblings are all attributed to Mr.

Gallagher. His Southern colleagues who were said to be back of him last spring have forgotten all their differences with the national commission. They never were interested further than Ty Cobb, the celebrated Georgian, was interested. The moment tho champion batsman signed with Detroit Mr. Gallagher was left out in the cold with Horace Fogel.

As a general thing the president of the United States wields some influence in public opinion. The president of the United States stands a tru sponsor to organized baseball. Mr. Wilson is a fan of the "dyed in-the-wool" type. An admirer of clean sport of all kit.ls, he not only patroni7.es American league baseball in Washington, but has very much interested himself in tho proposed world's tour of the White Sox and Giants next fall.

He believes that baseball may become the universal game of the nations and that an international league in the broadest ser.se of the word is not beyond the realm of possibility. President Wilson not only indorses the proposed world tour, but has promised that through official channels every courtesy will be extended to the bascbell teams abroad and that consuls and the diplomatic corps will facilitate the journey. The power of organized baseball as typified by the national commission will undoubtedly ask for official investigation if Representative Gallagher loses interest in the Fogel "bugaboo." The triumvirate has for several months been quietly preparing for just such an emergency and is now ready to furnish proof of its innocence of all trust principles. So that if Horaca Fogel will only go to the length of saving organized baseball the trouble of demanding an investigation he will have done the cause one more good turn. As stated above, his first service was to act as a tool and draw down th wrath of the National league his head.

It resulted finally in Fogel 's expulsion. Fogel for years had been a confederate of Charles Murphy of Chicago. It was charged at the time that Murphy was directly responsible for the censure heaped upon Fogel. The owner of tho Cubs is credited with having written the accusations against the integrity of organized baseball that were published under Fogel 's signature and which resulted in the downfall of Horace. Because a newspaper man would not give up a personal communication from Fogel connecting Murphy with the scandal, the Windy City magnate escaped punishment.

But he was forced to indorse a resolution making punishment by ostracism any allegations as to dishonesty in tho conduct of organized baseball. This resolution has effectually stopped tho loose talk and intrigue of the Cub president. i Until quite recently the National league was the laughing stock of organized baseball. A clique composed of; Murphy, Fogel, and Charles II. F.b-beta of Brooklyn was usually to be found lined up against law and order of all kinds.

Invariably it fought the existing league president, whoever he might be, on general principles. At what times it would line up a fourth magante, it was bound to create a deal of trouble. It deposed Johy Ileydler from the presidency and elected Tom Lynch, the present incumbent, as a compromise candidate. Ebbets split with the combine last fall when the Fogel charges were first aired. Murphy threw Ebbets down at the league meeting.

He had framed with him to put a-rival candidate in the field against Lynch. When the Fogel trouble broke, Murphy got aboard the popular band wagon inan effort to savo his own hido. Ebbets was with Murphy at the time and, naturally enough, when his private campaign flivvered, decided, to come in for peace and order under the Dig tent. When Fogel was dropped by the National league after he had been deserted by his colleague, Murphy, the little trouble maker of Chicago was left all alone out in the cold. There he remains today, his clique broken, his influence gone.

The National league is no longer a laughing stock. Tho infusion of a lot of new blood has made it a strictly business organization of somewhat the same style as the American league Party squabbles are no longer aired in public if such rnally exist. Level headed business men have joined the old guard. James Gaffney of Boston, William Locke of Philadelphia and Harry N. Hempstead of New York are all shrewd, capable and businesslike.

They are level-headed enough to sacrifice personal advantages toward the common good a trait sadly lacking in some quarters in the old days of intrigue and bickering. Harry N. Hempstead was placed in a most trying position when he accepted the presidency of the New York National league baseball club. He succeeded the late John' T. Brush, a man recognized as the greatest baseball genius of tho past 20 years.

Mr. Hempstead knew very little of the inside workings of organized baseball. His business experience had been confined largely to the dry goods business in Indianapolis. But during the past six months Harry Hempstead has proven himself a worthy successor to Mr. Brush.

Under his administration the club continues to prosper. He has continued Mr. Brush's policies. John J. McGraw is not interfered with in the management of the club.

Mr. Hempstead's atttention is devoted exclusively to he financial end of the game. President Hempstead was very fortunate to secure the services of John B. Foster as secretary. Mr.

Foster has exercised his duties in his accustomed scrupulous and painstaking way and has been of inestimable assistance in putting his boss into the intricacies of the organization.

He noticed it more particularly just after throwing a spitball. He came to the conclusion that this style of delivery was too much of a pull on his wrist and shoulder and he has virtually decided to give it up altogether. Before Ford adopted the spitball he had a very fine curve.

He practiced continually for more than a year before the "spitter" was added to his repertoire. After mastering the moist fling Kussel seldom employed his curve. He mixed the amphibious toss with a good change of pace, and as long as the "spitter" workor well he had little or no use for the curve, It was while he was pitching and Sweeney was catching for the Atlanta, club, that he so perfected 1 1 -A AW i i V.r-'L TWO OF FRANK CHANCE'S YOUNG YANKEES Ici- the spitball that he could make it break in two ways in and down and out and down. Until this spring he never experienced any trouble with his arm. He can not remember ever having had even a cold in it, but from the time that the Yankees assembled in Bermuda for their spring conditioning until he encountered almost a week of continuous warm weather here in the North, be hnd not been able to do anything with the hall.

Spitter Uurta Ills Aim. Not so long ago he was trying to warm up in the outfield while a game wag in progress at the Polo ground. His arm was feeling great. He shot! his fast oue over a couple of times, and it was a real fast one. He tried his curve and the break was pleasing.

Then he tried the and he fell a sharp twinge of pain in his wrist and shoulder. He was through warming up for the afternoon. There after every time he threw the ball it nun. Ho decided that it was the "spitter" that did it and he also decided that ho would uot use it auy oftener than he actually had to from tnat time.
