fought weakly
Richie never let up for a second and
was in good condition at the end of the
fight
From the first round to the last it
was all Richie. The great little fellow
from the coast took the aggressive at
the start and had Mandot on the run
throughout Mandot made him work
hard for the first six rounds, but the
coast sensation had shade in every
chapter, He cut Mandot's face to rib
hons with snappy let's. and time and
again he drove the local man to cover
with a singing right cross
Mandot tried hard TO rally in the
seventh. He landed a wild swing to
Ritchie's Jaw and Willie staggered and
backed up for an instant. He cleared
up, however, and chased Mandot about
the ring for the remainder OF the round
landing repeatedly.

THE honors for the past four
years in succession in base
stealing have gone to the Barons.
PheIan. McGilvray. Henline and
Downey were all members of
Molesworth's team. The only At
lantan who ever copied was George
Paskert
Bill McGilvray was one of the
most remarkable Of the leaders. He
is big brute of chap and looks
slow. He is a rough-neck on the
bases. however, and got lot of
steals just because he slid into the
bases, feet flying and kept the
basemen off for fear of spikes.
Paskert was one of the neatest
of base thiefs. His methods and
Moran's are decidedly similar. Both
are slight, agile chaps, who have
studied the art of sliding and who
run bases with good determine
ton. That Paskert hasn't entirely
forgotten the knack OF stealing he
demonstrated in 1910, when he
grabbed off 81 in the National
league. However. last year and In
1909 he was not so good. He put
% to his credit the former year and
2S the latter.
