August Herrmann, i of Cincinnati, defined as "temporarily off" today, the deal whereby three players were to be traded to Chicnsro for Tinker. Th. i deal was "off" yesterday an 1 "on" agtai 1 last nis'ht. This ntornine President Murphy, i or th Cmcago club, notihed Herrmann oy telophone that he would not accept the throe players offered, Mitchell and Phelan an 1 Corrllen, late of Kansas City. He did not gay who he would accept, but It is understood that the matter will be taken up I i 5fl GinSOX.

within Pitt's 30-yard line for a first down. hree attacks were but Mauthe, who had done most of the ground gaming, slipped over on the fourth. Two forward passes in the third quarter, both from Mauthe to Very, covered yards and gave another scor These were the. prettiest, and cleanest executed on Forbes Field this season, and shows what experts can do at the new game. The fourth touchdown was not earned by State, but was the result of an intercepted pa.ss.

It came on the firs scrimmage after the kiekoff following the previous touchdown. man cut in ahead of the receiver of the pass, whica was made by Wagner, and ran half th length of the field. The last score followed a 60-yard gain by Very on another beautiful forward pass. Shorty worked an ancient crisscross play and carried the ball over himself after a lt-yard run. This score was unexpected as Pitt was showing surprising strength when the play came, and adherents hoped that the scoring was ever.

PITT WORKS HARD. At times Pitt threatened to score. There was no doubt about the earnestness with which the Blue and Gold attacks were pressed home. Sheer' desperation made the most elementary football effective, and State coaches, rooters and players were worried for fear Pitt would cross the last white line. But hard luck, that old hoodoo, intervened, the State's dele use was just strong enough cr.tical moments to balk the furious Pitt charges.

After State had threatened to score earlv in the third' period, but had been stopped on Pitt's 17-yard line, the first desoerate advance was made by the Blue and Gold. Shoff made nine yards through center, starting on Pitt's 17-y ard iie. He soon followed it by a run from Fist's line that carried the bill State's line. He had a clear field, but in dodging his last opponent in front of him, yvas downed from heh'nd. He struck with such force that he fumbled and State got the ball.

Pitt's next chance came soon afterwards when Wagner made a 47-yard run that placed the ball on State's 17-yard line. Three downs gained seven yards. forward pass was tried. A Pitt man was standing on the line with waiting arms, nut Berryman cut in ahead of him and got it. Pitt was thrown back.

When the fourth period opened Pitt at it again. Scrimmaging on the i')-yard line following a touchdown, three yards by Gaivin. -o yards by Wagner, by Shoff and two by Gaivin placed the ball en State's 42-yard line. Oi'don. Shoff and Wagner made another first down.

A penalty placed the bail on State's 25-yard line. Gaivin and Shoff took the ball to the 15-yard line where the advance was halted. Wagner's attempt at a field goal was wide. Pitt was never again dangerous. GOLD AND BLUE DEFENSE GOOD.

Good defensive work halted State near Pitt's goal line again and again. The Pitt defense would tighten as the goal line was neared. The closest State ever got without scoring was in the first quarter, when Mauthe fumbled the ball on the one-yard line after the entire team bad landed on him with a jarring crash. At other times during the contest State was checked and thrown back. State's resourcefulness was the real factor in the game and the cause of the big score, for a team with a smaller number of plays, but as strong have been hard put two touchdowns.

State always had sleeve, to be pulled as State was. would to make more than a good play in a pinch. 'P us Some and were blocked, nut some worked. I'itt suffered generalship in consequence, as displayed in Superb Miller's choi -e ol piays. After playing a bard but mediocre game in the first two periods Wagner showed life in the second half, and made some very appreciable gains.

Dillon shone running back kickoffs and did good in offensive and defensive work. Shoff made several excellent gains. Gaivin was called behind the line both to and carry the ball. He made some substantial gains and did well with his booting, getting his kicks away in time for long distances. Of one thing I'itt is convinced, and that is that the .1913 team will be strong.

The green men forming the 1912 squa.l have been well seasoned during the trying season just passed, and as the loss i Continued on Page Three.

6 to 3. HIT (primary) -TF 37 SAN FRANCISCO. Now US Ad Wol-gast, lightweight champion pugilist, lost his title to Willie Ritchie today in the sixteenth round of their fight at Daly City. In that round Woigast fouled Ritchie twice and Referee James Griffin awarded the fight, to Ritchie. Wolgast, however, was already a beaten man.

His eyes were glazed, his iegs shaky, his whole body tottering. The end of the light came after those at the ringside had noticed in the fifteenth round that Wolgast's strength teemed waning somewhat. At the beginning of the sixteenth the boys faced each other with Ritchie confidently carrying the fight to his opponent. Wolgast looked worried. His face had lost the sneering smile it wore the earlier rounds.

Ritchie made him wince with a two-hander to the body and then shot a crushing right squarely to the jaw. Wni-gaet fell against the ropes, then retreated toward his corner. Ritchie crowded him and as Wolgast raised his head he right-crossed him and Wolgast fell sprawling. Official Timekeeper George Ilarting, who lias been counting out champions for 37 years, began to toll off the seconds. At the count of four.

Wolgast. very groggy, got up and came toward his antagonist. Ritchie who had crosse 1 to the opposite side of the ring, rushed to meet him. and they exchanged blows. Wolgast.

though badly dazed, covered so that Ritchie could not send in the linisn-ing smash. DECISION IS POPULAR. Only 114- seconds remained of the round. Ritchie, near his own corner, male ready for the right cross again when Wolgast's left struck him low. Hundreds of voices raised the cry of foul! and Referee Griffin cautioned Wolgast.

In another instant the left glove of Wolgast struck low tigain and found toe same sore spot. Ritchie men to fight back, but was plainly in distress. Referee Griffin rushed between th" fighters, pushed Wolgast aside and raised Ritchie's hand in token of victory. The crowd at tile ringside cheered him ami hundreds rushed to shake his hand when he left the ring. Ritchie was taken to a bath house and Wolgast went to bis Ocean beach training Quarters immediately after the light.

Wolgast had the better of seven of th rounds, four were even and the remainder were easily Ritchie's. In the first two the local lad outboxed the champion, in the fourth he outfought him and in the tenth, which was really the turning point of the fight, he stood shoulder to with him and slugged to body and head. Wolgast bad much the worst of the milling, and Tom Jones, his manager, increased the allowance of brandy that the champion took during each intermission. All through the nght Ritchie blocked and ducked o'ovovly but encountered the Wolgast left hand a few times that bruised, his left eye and nearly closed it. In the infighting his right eye was slightly damaged and bis lip puffed a bit.

Rut on the whole, Wotgast's blows did little damage. RITCHIE IN FINE SHAPE. Wolgast seemingly was lacking in condition. In the round before the finish his legs were so heavy he could hardly lift his feet from the mat. while Ritchie, fresh and breathing perfectly, danced around his puffing adversary and pecked him with straight lefts.

Wolgast says lie did not intentionally foul Ritchie, and that be thinks it is a poor way to win a championship. "I didn't hear Griffin caution me and I do not believe struck a foul blow," be said, after the fight. "Ritchie was rough and when I first got in trouble in the sixteenth it was from him throwing me against the ropes Instead of hitting me. 1 would be willing to fight him again tomorrow." Ritchie protested that he was fouVd but said that lie was strong and could have finished Wolgast in another round. The new lightweight chanvpion's rea1 name is Gary Steffen.

He was reared in San Francisco, and took to' driving sand wagon teams for his older brothers when school studies became irksome. When 35 vears old. he began boxing. He showed "his quality in the amateur ranks and later in preliminaries to big fights. A year ago today, he made his first big forward stride when he was substituted for the stricken Ad Wolgast in Ros Angeles and boxed 'M rounds with Freddie Welsh.

Anil I'itt has no excuse to offer, 1'Iayinj; the lest game it has put up this season, the Kluf and Gold machine met a superior combination and went clown to defeat with all tne honors of war. It was not lack of dash on the part of Pitt's representatives. It was simply greater ability on the part of Statf's players, assisted by the hreaks of the game, that was responsible for the live touchdowns, live goals from touchdown and a goal from lieM that the.

There was not the slightest sign of depression. They did their best ana. what is more, satisfied everyone who saw the ganif, that they played b.Ul every minute of the game. GREAT WORK BY STATE.

Due praise and full credit must be given to Pennsylvania, State's veteran eleven, which has, as a team, playod its last fam.

Knd Wry and Halfback Barryman, who will graduate- next spring, and the incomparable Sh: rty Miiltr, as well a AVelty and AViison showed up as grid-c rs of heaviest caliber. Mauthe made an 'especially enviable record in his last game, lit- scored two touchdowns. kicked live goals from touchdown, earritd the ball more vards than any ether man on the team and kicked a heai-tiful field goal that traveled yards before it floated over the bar.

Twenty of the po.nts scored b- State were made by him. 'That Held goal of Mauthe" is one which will g. down in Pittsburgh's gridiron history as on of the best ever. He stood i State's Territory and booted the ball from State's where it was held by Miller. It went over the bar, on a.

State's touchdown came early in the second period and was a fitting -max to an irresistable advance-from the Blue and White 45-yard line that was not checked until Mauthe bad gone over. Thirty-two yards of this distance was tained by Mauthe, who made it in four Oowns.

touchdown came in the same quarter as the result of a Pitt fumble, which gave State the ball on Pitt's 1'5-vard line. This advance was slower and made on short line plays and end runs, but it was steady and consistent tn spite of Pitt's best efforts.
