FAVOR RITCHIE TO
 DEFEAT JOE RIVERS
Betting 10 to 8 in Champions
 Favor for July 4 Bout

San Francisco. Cal, June 24.-There was plenty of activity at the respec- tive camps of Champion Willie Ritchie and Mexican Joe Rigers yesterday Both boys have considerable weight to take off. Rivers announced at the conclusion of his days work that he weighed Just one pound less than he did in the morning.
 'tI tip the scales at 1S7 now, said the Los Angeles fighter. That means only three pounds to dispose of and ten days to do 1t in. could take off a dozen pounds in that time without hurting myself"
 Betting on the fight is 10 to in Ritchie's favor, but few wagers of importance have been made at those odds.

 Flanagan Hit Hard

Holyoke, June 24.-After dropping the first game of yesterdays double header to Bridgeport, making II straight defeats, Ho1yolze came back in the last half of the bargain bill and killed the losing jinx, when the tables were turned on Monte Cross & Co. Timely hitting, notably a double by Phillips that pushed two runs over the plate in the sixth inning, pulled the visitors out ahead, s to 3, in the opener. More opportune swatting, the feature of which was a double by Moves in the first inning with the bases full, cleaning off the corners, gave the home help the closing clash. to 8.
 Sager was hit hard by Bridgeport while Blum pitched steadily. Bowman pried the tally lid off for Bridgeport in the first inning of the initial match. when with one out he poled the ball over the right fence for four bases.
 Bridgeport broke in again in the second round. Boultes drew a pass went to second on Silzer's sacrifice and crossed the platter on B1um's double to center.
 The Cross crowd slipped over the winning run in the sixth. McGam- well led of with single and went to second on F1anagan's base hit. Rus sell came through with the needed SaCr1I1ce.

TYPOGRAPHY

Sir Thomas Iiptonsss recent chal- Ienge has revived interest in that game sportsman's long continued and energetic efforts to lift the America Cup. Of course, there are cynical persons who a1lege that Sir Tohmas' efforts in that direction are animated as much by a thorough and expert knowledge of advertising values as by the keen instinctI of the true sports man to capture the coveted trophy. Such criticisms, however, come with poor grace from Americans, the great est self advertisers of all the ages; for is it not written that those who, live in glass houses shall not heave rocks ?
 It was just fourteen years ago to- day that the Shamrock L, first of Lip toms chal1engers, was launched. She was lowed across the Atlantic to meet the American sIoop Columbia, financed by the late J. P. Morgan, and was pretty thoroughly outclassed. Sir Thomas sent another challenge the following year. The Shamrock II did a little better than her predecessor, but was beaten in all three races by the Columbia. In the third contest, the cup was defended by the Reliance, also financed by J. P. Morgan, and the Shamrock ILL, which had been designed by Fife and Watson, was not in the running. The next challenge was declined by the New, York Yacht Club on the ground that the craft pro- posed by Sir Thomas did not come within the specifications of the deed of gift. Every true sportsman loves "game 'un,'' and that description cer- tadnly applies to Sir Thomas. There are a lot of people between the Cana dian border and the Rio Grande who hope that in the next contest the tea merchant. will be able at least to give the defenders a close run for their money.

 At a meeting of the Eastern aseo- citation directors held in Spring1eld last night the rnagnates voted to change the clause in the constitution which makes it necessary to play off double headers at the first opportunity or pay $50 fine. It will be left to ar range double headers by mutual agree ment and the penalty will be the for feiture of the game. The $50 fine in- posed upon the Holyoke club, accord ing to the constitution, was remitted.

KILLING THE DRAINAGE CANAL

Ia Secretary of War Stimson the
willing or unwilling tool Of the gang
that are at work on a scheme to kill
the Chicago drainage canal.
President Thomas A. Smyth and his
colleagues Of the Sanitary District
have been fighting to maintain q flow
Of water through the sanitary canal
which would inure to the advantage
Of the people Of Chicago and to the
general health Of the community.
The International Commission re-
ported in favor of a flow Of 10000 feet.
SO did other eminent authorities.
Secretary Stimson forbade any such
dow.
Now that the people OF Chicago are
awakening to their peril, they are dis
covering that the limiting Of the flow
Of water through the drainage chan
mel Is due to influences nearer home.
These influences are dominated by
millionaires who control so.called
septic box" sewer system which will
bring money to their purses even II
1t kills everybody In Chicago.
The diminution OF the flow o.
water through the canal helps Out
their scheme.
The question Is whether the people
will wake up and stand by Presiden
Smyth and a perfect drainage system
or the septic box" system and al
abandoned sanitary channel.

In resisting the right Of the Tribune.

q prosecution for violation OF city

McInerney showed good sense.
II the city was to surrender its ex.
elusive right to prosecute Offenders
against it's ordinances, and to permit
every Tom, Dick and Harry to COM
mence such suits, a state of anarchy
would prevail.
Neighborhood grudges would hold
full sway and every man with a
leaking barbage can would be at the
mercy of a neighbor who didn't like
him. Corporation Counsel Sexton sus'
tanned Mr.. McInerney when he said;
Il. Persons violating city ordin'
ances, punishable by fines, shall not
be arrested on warrants, but brought
in on summons. Chief Justice Olson
so decided when we went before him

get warrants for violators OF the
health ordinances.
SO That it Is and ought to be the
law, and public policy demands thai
1t must be the law, that suits cannot
