Los Angeles, July 1S.-"Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers will meet at the Vernon arena on Labor Day" Tom McCaroy, manager of the Pacific Athletic club, said last night, ''in their second bout for the light weight championship. Rivers signed art icles today and Wolgast will sign ,tomor- row. Details of the battle were arranged excepting the selection of a referee.
 "Wogast will get a guarantee of S15,- GOO and Rivers, who received s7500 for his last battle. will receive $S00o win, lose or draw. The referee will be selected later. It is pretty sure that he will be Los Angeles man."
 Earlier in the day 1t was said by Me- Carey that the outlook for second match was not favorable. Wolgast said he needed a rest and would go to Oregon for hunting trip and later to his home at Cadillac, Mich. Manager Levy, for Riv- CTS, hearing these reports, sought out Me- Carey and immediately affixed his sigma ture to the articles calling for Labor Day battle Rivers did likewise.

MISMANAGEMENT AT
 CHATTANOOGA HAS INJURED PATRONAGE

Chattanooga, July 1S,-LacS of bust ness management is injuring the pat ronage of the Southern league at Chatta- nooga. The officials of the ball club have never been able to get into the proper touch with the newspapers and the varl- ous emporiums where the baseball fra ternity is wont to hang about, and, as result, the hour of starting and va rious other bits of essential information | for good crowds have been lost to the proper parties
 The traction company has provided this season sersice that is none too good and this has 9jmbined to injure the totals of , the receitts at the box office. Upon innumerable occasions inadequate car ser vice was provided, while upon number of other days cars marked baseball park were run as late as 1 o'clock, although the game had been called off several hours earlier. Neither the officials of the ball club nor those of the traction company arc willing to assume the re- sponsibility for the blunder.
 The result of the mismanagement. how ever, has been very apparent in the at tendance, as upon cloudy days patrons have long since refused 10 accept any toheH aS authentic ana nave remained away entireiS from the park A number of games have thus been played with half the regulars absent because they were not willing to risk wasting the hour which is consumed going to and from the park.
 on the morning of July the traction company provided three cars to handle approximately 15O0 people. Up to the present time it has been practically im- possible to secure from the officials of the club any authentic information coneern- ing the postponement of games when the grounds were in wet and doubtful condi- tion.

TROUGH WAS PAID 25 CENTS
 EVERY TIME HE PITCHED A BALL
nY REUBEN A. LEWIS

Ball players are well paid for thelr efforts. The average pitcher in the Southern league receives nearly s20O a month for twirling He twirls an aver age of seven times a month. Although IL has been discussed little and in yestigated less, an average of but 120 balls are thrown by the pitchers in one game.
 Yesterday Trough pitched 9S balls, 66 strikes and twirled three balls which were fouled after two strikes were called on the batter. This makes total of log balls he threw to the plate. For this, let us say. Wee Willie received s25. which is the pay the aver age Southern league pitcher gets for one game.
 This meant that Trough received nearly % cents every time he pitched to Yantz Teddy Bair on the other hand, did less 10 get his pay. Throughout the game Bair threw to the plate but s1 times Twenty eight of these were balls, DO strikes and three were fouls after two strikes were called on the batter.

territory it was counted as one strike.
 By this it is shown that Teddy Bair received nearly 30 cents every time he drew back his trusty wing and let 1t go. And yet a Congressman declared in the House of Representatives that ball players are nothing more than slaves
 Perhaps it is also interesting to know that but 1S3 balls were thrown to the batters yesterday. However the pellet travelled nearly three miles just from tn pitchers pot to the catcher. It Is estimated that, if the same ball weEe used through the game, it would travel a distance of nearly seven miles game. This includes throwing 4t and hitting it about the grounds.
 However, the pitcher gets paid also for his efforts at the bat Trough failed to set a hit, as Bair struck him out on three occasions
 How much does an umpire get for calling a play? This shows that the umpires do more work and receive less pay than any one connected with the game. Yesterday the two umpires made nearly 250 decisions. For this they got about three cents for each decision. It costs the bosses in baseball nearly s5 every time n batter Is retired. Baseball Is an expensive sport
