JEFFRIES THE FAVoRITE.
Betting is More Than to 1 on the
Champion

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-The arrival
of Fitzsimmons from Skaggs Springs has
had the effect of stimulating interest in his
coming contest with Jeffries, and this week
will doubtless be a most exciting one in
sporting circles The Cornishman will fin
ish his training in this city. exercising at
the Olympic Club and doing his road work
in Golden Gate Park. He looks to be in
good condition. The possibility of any i'll
effects that he may suffer. due to the sud-
den change of climate in his training loca-
tons. does not worry Fitz in the least. He
thinks that his present condition Is proof
against the rigors that any San Francisco
climate can offer. His opinion Is shared by
Trainer George Dawson, who states that
the cool air, even though 1t be laden with
moisture, will act as bracer and do Fitz-

Champion Jeffries did practically no work
on Sunday. When asked what he would do
today he said:

tically over, and when the time comes I

George Carey plays so well at first that 1T

And right close up to Carey. Is the Big

Without ANDY the ST. Louis would be
nearer the bottom than the top Of the
championship race.
Umpire Connolly performed his work well
and satisfactorily. He may have lost a
strike or two, but both Lees drive to left
and Hemphills triple to the club house were
fair hits by a wide margin.
There is no question about the winning
ability Of that ST. Louis outfit. With Held
rick back in position, there is not a weak
man in the aggregation and from present
appearances the club that heads off the
Browns will win the championship.
Cleveland Is now getting some of the med

OF ALL SORTS
Third Baseman Wolverton Re-
turns to the Phillies.
LOTUS is NOT SORRY
NATIONAL LEAGUE AFTER
AMERICAN LEAGUES STARS.
Saturdays Game Between Senators
and Browns-Visitors outplay-
ed the Locals.

Late Saturday afternoon. while the game
at American League Park was in progress,
Manager LOTUS was handed a telegram
from Harry Wolverton, dated Cape May,
saying that he had decided to return to
his first love. the Phillies. At first Man.
ager Lotus was a great deal taken aback,
but when the full meaning of the telegram
dawned on him, pleased smile covered
his face. Wolvertofs had been complaining
all season of not being able to get into
condition and as a last resource trip to
Cape May was proposed. While there
Coughlin was shifted over to third and Jack
Doyle to second, making up an inf1eld with
Ely and Carey that ranks with the best.
Doubtless realizing that he was not wanted
in Washington Wolverton decided to return
to the Phillies, and sent the telegram as
"feeler."
Wolverton's Experience Here.
Harry knew that his personal contract
with Lotus would keep him away from
Philadelphia If it's provisions were tested
in law, but when the Washington manager
telegraphed his pleasure at Wolverton's
gyration, all legal obstacles were swept
away. Last season Scranton Bill Cough
lin was about the best third baseman in
the business. Of course barring Collins.
and when Wolverton chased him off that
sack the latter's work had to be sensational
From the very start Wolverton was not
himself, and as several games went by
without any improvement in his work it
seemed to affect his nerves and he went to
the bad altogether. The Philadelphia peo-
pie are pleased over the return of Wolver-
ton, and there Is little sorrow in Washing
ton over Harry's desertion. Wolverton's
salary this season called for So. 200 as the
contested $500 was being paid by Manager
LOTUS in addition to his salry, and at these
figures he was too high priced to warm the
bench. If he had returned to Washington
this week, the infield would not have been
broken up to allow Wolverton to get into
the game and he couldn't play the outfield
Wolverton's work on the circuit was so
off color that no other club wanted him, es-
pecially as he is high priced. and, there
fore, there will be protest over his
breaking the contract. In fact, had VOL
verton asked for his release he would have
received it, with pleasure, from Manager
LOTUS, as 1t took high priced man off his
hands for whom he had nothing to do. The
contract between the Washington club and
Wolverton was not the ordinary base ball
agreement (ex-Manager Manning was too
shrewd for that, but a personal one, from
which neither could have separated. Vol
verton was fully aware of this. and for this
reason his leaving the Senators cannot be
classed as jumping contract.
1t is a strange coincidence that Coughlin
made something like the same start as
Wolverton's in this city, but was able to
return and make his detractors applaud his
work All who knew Wolverton were
pleased with his geniality, and 1t Is to be
regretted that his debut in Washington was

McGraw Still at Work.

Another dispatch reached the grounds
it was not for Manager LOTUS. but Captain
Delehanty. The New York manager asked
Der for an interview that night at s
O'Clock, and the request was complied with.
Over the long distance telephone McGraw
phia, but the latter refused to comply with
the request. Manager Lotus persuaded
Delehanty that his holding conferences with
McGraw was creating unrest among the
other players and the big fellow decided to
cut 1t out in the future. Delehanty says
he is pleased with Washington, the way he
is treated and wants to play here as long
as wanted. He has a three-year iron-cIad
contract. In the future Delehanty will re-
fuse conferences with any of the agents
of the National League. Heretofore he has
INDUCED in these little confabs as he want
ed to be next to what was going on but
he has finally come to the conclusion that
as he intends to stick to the American
League, it were better that he ignore it's
agents In the future.
The National League is at present pur-
suing policy of piracy against the Ameri-
can League offering brides to players to
jump bona fide contracts 1t Is the last
spasm or kick of a dying organization.
There Is no interest in the National League

After Clean Sport.

President Johnson and his fellow-mag-
mates of the American League are trying to
build up the great American sport and give
the public clean, honest base ball There
never has been a race for championship
nonors like the present one in the American
League. Every club in the new organiza-
ton is playing clean ball and pleasing the
spectators. This organiza ton has pledged
itself to do away with rowdy ball and
browbeating of umpires. 1t is an item of
record that the very patrons of the sport
In Cleveland and Baltimore had their en-
thusism chilled and were driven away from
the games on account of profanity and
rowdyism on the field.
This season there has been a great revival
of interest in base ball at Cleveland and
scores who had not visited the park in
years are again regular patrons of the
games. Now that the Baltimore manage
ment has rid itself of the drag upon it 1t
Will show marked improvement in the at
tendance of the best class Of people Presi-
dent Johnson has written to Manager Loft
tus and all the managers In the American
League that he will not tolerate rowdy ac-
lions or bad language on any Of his grounds
and If any of the managers allow 1t he will
take the matter in hand and punish the
players no matter what injury 1t will do the
offending club.
