AID WOLGAST BEGS
FOR RETURN MATCH
Jones Willing to Bet $4,000
to $12,500 That His Charge
Can Beat Richie.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, November 50
}-Tom Jones, WOlgastS manager met
Billy Nolan. VIII Ritchies manager, in
Coffroth's office last night. and offered TO
! bet Nolan $4,000 to 1880 that Wolgast
could beat Richie in a return match on
Washington's birthday. Nolan refused to
listen to the proposition, declaring that he
wanted to give Richie q chance to pick
up some easy money on the stage he
fore having him defend his new light
weight title.
Jones pressed the principal and said he
would let Richie come in 1T catchweights
at the same offer, but Nolan was in no
mood to listen. Jones continued to plead
for a return match for Wolgast, and
finally Nolan declared that he would give
Wolgast match within II year,
Both Jones and Wolgast arc sore At
Referee Griffin. Jones declared that he
had been given a very bad deal.
Il was robbed" declared Jones. Il
finally got 1t. and got it from a man
whom l had picked myself
'Ritchie knows that Wolgast is his
master. and / don't think ne will ever
give AID another chance. I will give
Ritchie $1,000 the moment he signs an
other contract to meet Wolgast. and / II
make the same bets that 1 offered to
make Nolan in Coffroth's Office.
Wolgast, too. is bemOaning his tough
luck He claims that he was as strong
at the finish as he had been during the
entire contest. He says that the only
blow that hurt him was the right-hand
smash on the jaw in the sixteenth round
but that he was regaining his strength as
the round progressed, and would have
eventually turned the tide in his favor.
Wolgast will leave for his Michigan
home in few days. He will rest for a
few weeks, and then start to fight him
self back into the championship.
Il will meet them ALL he said, lin or
der to compel Ritchie to give me back
the title which is rightfully mine
Champion Willie Richie held reception
yesterday, and although he was nursing
two very sore eyes, he . smiled as ne

BASE BALL BRIEFS

With Ed Dugdale owner at Seattle and
Joe McGinnity owner at Tacoma, North
western League fans will enjoy the in
teresting situation of old-time battery
mates rivals for the pennant. McGinnity
and Dusdale made up the star battery
for the Peoria team in the old Western
Association twenty years ago.
Marty O'Toole is quoted saying that
the real puzzle in the National Lea que
race next year is picking the team that
will finish second We all know" says
Marty. that Pittsburgh is going to win
the pennant, but it is going to be more
difficult to dope out just which club is
destined to cop the runner-up honors."

Hugh Jennings says the lambasting the

confirms what he said that there was no

possible the magnates will scare him into
silence.
The great national pastme is not crook
ed. The magnates at various times may
play politics as they do in every organi-
cation, but the game on the field is
square. Any limitations that conditions
are otherwise should be choked off early.
The Importance of this crisis is shown
very clearly when the National League
owners adjourned for only one hour out
of respect to the memory of the late John
T. Brush The business Oh hand was too
big to be delayed even one day
1t may be true that slowly but surely
the young folks i'll base ball are crowding
the old fellows out, and Larry LaJoie is
mentioned one of the latter. If true
this is very sad. but the pitchers are still
praying on every one they heave to the
big F'renchman, and walk him when there
are men on the bases. He may be creak-
ing bit. but We noticed season after
season that he has nearly killed intielders
with his wicked drives, especially when
they skip down around third base There
are many third sackers right now who
will tell you that they are still giving
way to LarrNs hot welts in that part of
the county.
Many stars OF the base ball Ornament
developed in their college days the art of
the gridiron game. The New York Ma
tionals have mary former foot ball stars
on their team, including Mathewson. ia

on the Bucknel varsity.

We're also famous. the latter while attend

Few persons know that the Giants first
baseman once came from behind the
speedy Heston the former Michigan star
caught him and brought him down.
Jake Stahl is another gridiron hero.
Hans Wagner broke a worlds record
this year by completing his sixteenth con-
secutiVe year with a batting record bet

vious record with fifteen years in which
he batted better than $50.

BY j. ED GRILLO.

Horace Fogel threatens to expose base
ball. He says he has numerous offers
from maya zines to tell the inside of the
popular sport. and that he proposes to
get even for being bounced from the Ma
tional League by telling all he knows.
This assertion seems to assure a very
brief article by fogel and one which
will give a better line on his character
than telling things that are not generally
known about base ball.
Nothing that the National League has
accomplished in recent years has added
so much to its popularity as its stand
against Fogel. and more can be added if
strenuous efforts are made to find out
just what Charley Murphy's connection
with the Fogel scandal was. Base ball
can we'll spare men of this caliber. FOgel
is still eligible to be in base ball as an
owner. The recent edict of the National
League only barred him from its coun-
ellis but let him write few magazine
articles for the purpose of discrediting
the game. and his days in any capacity
so far as the game is concerned will be
cut short

Auto Speeiers Hurt The AutOmO-
bile Game

Atlanta, Nov. 20. Automobiles
who violate the speed laws were held
to be a serious injury to the cause OF
good roads by William G. Sirrene,
Of Greensuille, S. G., addressing the
fourth annual convention Of the
Southern Appalachian Good Roads
Association.
NOTHING awakens the antagoism
of country people more than speed
ing Of automobiles on the roads,
he said, and until we get the far
mers Of the south solidly behind the
good roads movement we will never
attain our just progress. The roads
were intended for all-the man in
the ox-cart as we'll as the man in the
automobile and the former does not
believe he should be chased into the
ditch in order to get out Of the way
of the speed devils. F"
Followingthe address, John Craft,
president Of the Alabama Good.
Roads Association, told the con
vention he was in favor Of resolutions
condenrning the speeding Of auto
mobiles on roads. tits expected that
the resolutions committee will report
a resolution condemning speeding.
Eight addresses, dealing with the
road conditions in the different
states in the south were made this
afternoon. Among the speakers were
VIM. G Shrine, South Carolina;
R. J. Freeman, Georgia ; John Craft
Alabama, and John Greer, South
Carolina.

Lee County Claims Oldest Clerk

Mr.. James Morgan, the veteran
clerk of Lee county superior court,
came up to Smithville yesterday to
qualify once more for the clerkship
Of the Lee superior court, to which
he was reelected recently without
opposition,
Mr.. Morgan is probably the oldest
superior court clerks point of years
of service in the state Of Georgia,
having filled this position continu-
ously in Lee county for forty years.
It is believed that Mr.. Morgan has
no peer among the superior court
clerks of the state, as there has not
yet arisen one to dispute his claim
to priority in this particular.
Not alone as one of the veterans
of the service is priority claimed for
Mr.. Morgan, but also in efficiency
and general qualifications. There is
not more afable or accommodate
ing public officer in Lee county than
he. Any visitor or attorney calling
at his Office receives the most court
eous attention and also the authen-
tic information relative to the data
that is furnished by the clerk. In
the discharge Of his duties as clerk
Mr.. Morgan is ably assisted by hi
son, Wesley Morgan, who is capable
in filling the position Of clerk as hi
father. -Americus Times Recorder
