Frank Chance, had he been successful in securing waivers. would have disposed of his two mainstays in the box. Some weeks ago the story of how he tried to get rid of Jimmy Lavender was told and the world was amazed and today there's another just as startling.
 Lewis Ritchie. who defeated the New York Giants three times within one week. has proved to be one of the two main stays lately for the Cubs. For his suc- cessful efforts against the Giants he re- ceived the nickname of Lew the Giant Killer" Frank Chance asked waivers on this wonderful salesman and would have sold him had the others been willing to let him pass to the minors.
 Ritchie is not a youngster. He mas been doing slab duty for baseball clubs since 1905 when he joined the Wilhamsport club in the Tri-State league. The Philadelphia club in the National league bought him from the Williamsport team after the con- cusion of the season and Lew remained with the Phillies until the spring of 1909 when he was sold to the Boston Nationals.
 The following year in exchange for Johnny Kling, Ritchie was turned over to the Cubs together with several other players Since 19l0 the Giant Killer" has

M'LOUGHLIN WINS
 TITLE IN SINGLES
 OVER JOHNSON

Newport, R. l., August 26.-Califor- nia's sweep of the lawn tennis honors of the United States was made com plete this afternoon when Maurice E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco won the championship in singles from Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia in three out of five cets. The scores were 2-e. 2-6. 6-3. 6-4 and 6-2 points Mclaughlin holds the championship in doubles with Thomas c. Bundy of Los Angeles. Miss Mary Browne of San Francisco. who saw the finals, Is the national women's titIeholder Mclaughlin was to favorite when the players came onto the court, but after the first few games Johnson got his low chopstroke work ing in excellent shape and for two sets the Californian was unable to handle it.
 At one time Johnson was within two games of the championship McLough- lin, however, pulled himslef together and fathoming the mysteries of the Philadelphian's low cut stroke smashed the balls across the court and squared the match. After that Johnson tired rapidly and Mclaughlin had no diff fculty in clinchine the contest and the championship.
 This is the first year that the tennis titles have gone to the Pacific coast.

 Birmingham and New Orleans battled along for four innings to tie and then rain interfered and tho game was de- elared off At the same time Billy Camp bell, aided and abetted by Mique Finn and his Gulls, were trouncing the Mont gomery Billikens I to 0. thereby cutting down Birminghams lead for the Southern league pennant to four games.
 This afternoon the Gulls will again meet
 in conflict with the Bnllkens and then
 mount the Pullman to Birmingham, where
 they will engage in a hectic series of four
 battles These four struggles will prob
 ably decide the pennant winning club of
 the Southern league. Should the Guls
 take a majority of the four struggles 1t Is extremely probable that they will give the Barons a hard fight for ths
 pennant. However, should the Barons take
 the majority of the hectic battles then
 the Birmingham club will gather in the
 pennant of the circuit with ease.
 The pennant means much to the play
 CTS other than just the honor of taking it Should the bold and battlescarred
 win the gonfalon 1t Is extremely prob
 able that each member of the club will get at least $250. It is understood that
 the business men and fans will make up this purse for the Barons, and, with this
 large bonus in sight, every member of
 the team is working with additional ef-
 fort to down Mobile.
 Hereafter the games will begin at s:4S o'clock. Business Manager Robert Tyson | announced before the club left for New | Orleans that the Mobile Birmingham games would commence just 15 minutes | earlier than previously. Although larger l numbers have been predicted. Secretary I Tyson does not think that more than an average of 4000 day will see the series. | Manager Molesworth will open up ths | series tomorrow with Clarence Smith, who | will. in all probability, oppose Demon Al | Demaree On the following day Bill | Trough will twirl against Henie Berger. Rlly Campbell will be slated against Ray Boyd on Friday, while Smith and Dem
 aree will probably work again Saturday Preparations will be made to erect extra seats should the crowd warrant the same and every precaution will be taken to | rake the crowd comfortable and safe from injury Friday. which is ladies' day
 should prove to be a record breaker. All games are to be started at 3:45.

FRANK CHANGE TRIED TO DISPOSE OF TWO MEN
 WHO DEVELOPED INTO CUB MAINSTAYS OF 1912

been Cub Ritchie did not do well in the fall of 1911, and did not seem to re- gain his form at the beginning of the year. He pitched for the Cubs against the Barons in spring game this season and may be remembered by the local fans
 Manager Chance used him in a few of the early games and Rltchie did not show to advantage. Then rank sent out "feel- CTS" to see if the other clubs would waive on him. lie had an offer from an Amer- can association club for S2500, and was going to send him. However three clubs refused to allow the slab artist to depart and so Frank Chance was forced to hold onto him or lose several hundred dol lars.
 The case of Jimmy Lavender is almost the same. The Bruin Boss wanted to send Lavender to Montreal, but Provi- dence had the call on him. Waivers had been secured and as Chance did not care to send him back to Providence he held onto him until a deal could be made. In the meanwhile James showed ability enough to stick with any club and Chance had a star.
 Suppose Chance had secured waivers on Ritchie and Jimmy Lavender had been traded to Montreal. Then where would the Cubs be today? Whatever the answer may be it remains that 1t is not Chance fault that the Cubs have two stars

CHATTANOOGA WILL
 HAVE MOTORDROME

Chattanooga, August 26.-(Special) Plans have been practically completed for the erection here of a motordome with a quarter mile track to cost approximately Sl0,OOO and seat 15,0O0 people. The promo ters of the new project have secured an option upon A site of land between Chat tanooga and Rossville. Ga, upon which they plan to erect the motordrome which will when completed be the only one in the south. The course here will be very similar to the one at Columbus. O., and 1t is believed that if 1t Is completed ac- cording to the contemplated plans the na- tional motorcycles races can be brought here next year
 In the center of the track will be a large level track which will be available as a baseball diamond or an amphithea- tre for boxing or other sports.

that it Is often wonderful how he de- velops his wonderful speed.
 In all his time in the American league Johnson has never been known to grumble at an umpires decision. No matter how things go against him. he never lays the blame on the poor work of the arbiter.
 Johnson does not stand back of the rubber to get the signals and thus waste time, but he pitches, and as he is walking back to his position gets the signal from the catcher, steps In the box and immediately pitches again. When asked once why he did not take more time and get more rest while pitching, Johnson looked surprised and answered, That's not baseball" The games in which Johnson works are about the shortest. from point of time played by any of the clubs.
 Johnson does not pitch for records. He does not care how many hits the opposing team makes just so 1t does not win. He is in there to get the long end of the score for his club, and so long as he does that, he cares noth- ing for personal accomplishment.
 Johnson Is wonderful pitcher and wonderful man. Canvass the players in the American league and barring none they will tell you he is the most generally liked, respected and feared. Critics who have watched baseball since its infancy, and have seen the greatest players the game has ever known come and go, generally unite in saying that the most wonderful pitcher the sport has ever produced Is Walter Johnson, both on and off the field.
