4 D WOLGAST has deposited $1,000
~ with jim Jeffries as a forfeit for
a side bet of $4,000 that he can
defeat Willie Richie in a return match.
If Willie Richie comes through with
his $3.50 this viii be the largest sum
that has ever been bet on contest by
two boxers. ScOtty MOnteIth Wagered
WOlgast SIS that he wouldn't sign arti-
cles for the match with Dundee Ad i'm
mediately produced the money and
signed articles.
Mattv Baldwin declares that the hard
est wallOp he ever received was from
the hands of Ad Wolgast in Boston. The
bout was a 12-round draw Early in the
ninth round, Matty says that Ad sud
denly caught him with left and right
swing, and another left to the body, top
ping him to his knees. Baldwin Jumped
to his feet and chased Wolgast around
the ring as the best means of self-pro-
lection.
Arthur Pelkey and his manager, Tom
my Burns, are in no hurry to make
matches. They are booked for u weeks,
at several San Francisco theateTs, and
viii finish In time to challenge the win
ner Of the Flynn, GunbOat Smith bout
Burns is thinking Of a trip to Australia
IN the near future.
Referee Draycott, who officiated in the
Abe AttellWilie Beecher fight, in New
York, probably received more punishment
than either principal Attel was a bit
wild IN his swings, and early in the bout
one connected with Draycott with enough
force to nearly put him out. In the /
sixth, q similar blow caught Draycott
During the eighth round Attell showed (
great speed, IN running backward, and \
collided with the referee, striking him
amidships.
Because he was a yOUngster, Ban John
son fOrgave pitcher Clarence Smith for
his infractiOn of the rules when he
pitched and won for a Chicago semi-prO /
team johnson said that the players who
were fined last year for playing with
semi professional teams, were all veter-
ans, and knew they were violating the
rules.
One of the reasons that the Dodgers
are unable to keep up the terrific gait,
IS that several other clubs are playing
300 percent better baseball now than
they did in the opening weeks.
Elmer Brown has been sold to the
Brooklyn Dodgers for $1,000 cash bv the
Montgomery Southern league club. The
St Louis Browns had claim on the
pitcher, and the money viii be divided
between the two teams. The st. Louis 1
team exercised an option on the Mont
gomery team by selecting pitcher Man
ming.
The st. Louis Cardinals arrived home
IN a crippled condition. Catcher Cakes,
and Larry Mclean were all on the all
ing list Higgins seems to have recov-
cred from the wallOp he received from
the flipper of Tyler in Boston. Hauser
may be back in the game in the closing
weeks Of the season.
Larry Chappelle, the $4,000 beauty,
IS not in the discard. His absence from
the White SOx lineup is accounted for
by the fact that he is resting on the
bench to allow an injury to his knee to
heal. 1t IS reported that ChappeIle viii
be back IN the suburbs IN day or two.
Jimmy McAleer has denied the report Il
that he had offered to trade Iris Speak
er and a $4,000 check for Tv Cobb. 1t !
IS pointed out that Speakers close friend
ship for Jake Stahl has put him out of
harmony with the present Red SOx man ;
agement- For these reasons, it is be- /
lieved that the report has good founda-
ton. s
Joe Jackson saws that If he does not I
beat Ty Cobb for batting honors this =
season he VIII be unable to find any t
reasonable excuse, unless one blossoms,
between now and October.
