RICHIE AFRAID
OF FOUL PUNCH
INSISTS THAT wOLGAsT MUST
FIGHT CLEAN IF MATCH
IS MADE.

Chicago, March 14.-If Willie
Ritchie, lightweight champion of the
world, gives former champion Ad VOL
CAST a return battle for the title, IT is
more than likely that the contest will
not be decided on foul.
Ritchie said last night that any pro-
moter seeking to match him with
Wolgast would find it necessary to in
sert in the articles of agreement q
clause to the effect that the man com
hitting foul should not receive a
cent of the gate money. Ritchie fig
ures that this proposition is as fair to
Wolgast as it is to himself.

Hurley Bride Hearing
Is Again Continued

Hartford, March 1.-THE meeting of
the Senatorial committee, which has
been conducting an inquiry into the
alleged offer of bride to Senator
Hurley, was not held at the Capitol
today. Senator Isbell, the chairman,
had called it expecting to have sever
al witnesses before the committee,
some of them to be recalled to clear
up certain points in the testimony.
All committee members, however,
were so busily engaged, yesterday,
that the witnesses could not be reach
ed in time for notices. Major Isben
was with the judiciary committee on
a trip to> New Haven and he had
no opportunity to outline the inquiry
hearing This has now gone over I'M
til next week.

tors. then a chronic tail end organiza
ton.
AS soon as he started playing, ely
mer realized tnat the broken bones
had not healed properly and that he
he better lake a start in other lines
He weot along in this state of mind
until Dave Alt'zer blew along. ely
mer informed A1tizer Of his intentions
and about his weak ankle. Inmedi-
ateIy A1tizer took the invalid, gave
him several lessons in the art of band
aging the injured part, and C1ymer
soon found that he could step about
as freely and exert himself as much
as he could before the mishap. To this
day Clymer never appears on the ball
field without the bandage incasing his
ankle in exactly the same way as AL
tier had instructed him
Clymer remained with Washington
until the fall of 1909 CantiIlon then
knew that he was going to Minneapo-
lis and he managed to get Otis out of
the league. Tom Hughes went at the
same time. C1ymer went to the Mil
1ers willingly enough, as he likes to
work under Joe, and for three years
1910, 1911 and 1912-he has been the
batting terror of the American asso-
citation. For the three seasons he main
tanned grand swatting average of
.319, and in 191 set an A A. record for
consecutive hitting by connecting safe
1y in % games.
How Clyner ever got out of the
American league is a mystery. There
is hardly a club in the league today
that could not improve it's outfeId
with C1ymer's presence. ConisEcey
wanted him even last season and Of
fered $4,000 in cash Or three Of his
ball players. Canti1on wanted the play
ers, but the deal fell through, because
waivers could not be obtained on one
of the men. Harry Davis, when man
ager Of Cleveland, also wanted ely
mer, 50 it is easily seen what kind of
luck Charles Webb enjoys.

BRIDGEPORT CLUB

MATTY BALDWIN NEVER
REACHED TOP OF LADDER
Boston Boy is Good Boxer But Not
Quite Top Notcher.

Ndatty Baldwin, the clever Boston
lightweight. has probably fought more
drawn battles than any other boxer.
He has held his own with most Of the
best men Of his division, but never
seems to be able to put over that Tit
tie bit more that would make him a.
real championship contender. Three
yeas ago today AIatty fought a ten
round draw with Dick HyIand, at
Kansas City, and shortly afterward
tied with Owen Moran. Before that
he had fought draws with Willie Moo
dy, Tommy Murphy, Jem Driscoll, Ad
Wolgast and Ray Bronson. In 1911
just half of his decision bouts were
ties, with Young Saylor, Johnny Nc
carthy, Frankie Burns and Joe Man
dot. In that year, by the way, Matty
defeated Willie Ritchie in a twenty
round affair in San Francisco, and
was defeated in the same number of
claimant Of the worlds lightweight
title. Last year Matty started out by
going to a draw with Jack Redmond in
Youngstown, and a little later went to
Boston and fought three draws in a
row with Eddie Murphy, Tommy o.
Keefe and Tommy Ginty. Matty GER
tainly has the draw habit.
Recent talk of a match between
Johnson and Jeanette recalls that to-
day is the seventh anniversary of the
only one of the seven bouts between
the two blacks that was at all de-
cisive. On March A. 1905, they boxed
fifteen rounds in Baltimore, and John
son won and was clearly entitled to
the decision. Four short bouts in
which they engaged showed little to
choose between them. Another de-
cision bout was called a draw, and on
one occasion Jeanette won on a foul.
Since johnson won the title he has
manifested a great deal of anxiety to
keep away from Joe, and would much
rather fight a white man stead of a
coon, coon, coon.

Tom Crook, the big first baseman
arrived in this city for a visit this
morning. He came from his home in
Washington, D. C., and said he might
stay here two or three days. Tom is
looking fine. He held a reception at
the Atlantic hotel this morning and
was greeted by many local fans.
Crook said he couldn't understand
why the local management decided to
get rid of him. He likes Bridgeport
and would prefer to play here. The
first baseman stuck around the lobby
all morning waiting for Manager Me-
Cam to leave the feathers. He had
quite a long wait for the demon man
ager hates to separate himself from
the OstermOor until noon.
Although nothing official has been
announced it is reported that Crook
has been given permission to do bust
ness with other clubs and if he can
make a deal satisfactory to himself
and the local management no obsta-
cles will be put in his way.
Curry, the big pitcher who worked
for Torrington, Locomobi1e and other
semi-pro teams is looking for a try
out with Bridgeport. He once had
trial with the St. Louis Browns and
was farmed to Indianapolis. The Me-
chanics are pretty well loaded with
pitchers and Curry will find it hard
to land.

ApvEhTIsTs ENTER PROTEST.
See Union Of Church and State in
johnson Sunday Bill.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Jan. 2l.-Setenty thou
sand members Of the Seventh Day Adj
ventist church are protesting most
vigorously against the passage by the
government of what Is known as the
johnson Sunday bill. All over the
country yesterday petitions were pre-
sented and passed setting out the rea-
sons they entertained why the DIN
should not be passed. One is that
the bill designs to foster the religious
observance Of Sunday: exempting from
the application Of the section those
who belong to religious society which
observes some other day of the week
than Sunday: that religious legislation
is contrary to the constitution OF the
United States, and carried to its logi-
cal conclusion means union Oh
church and state and the persecution
of dissenters. There are 1000 Adven-
list churches in this country and these
resolutions were passed In toto or IN
rart in all of them. According to Ell
der Gibson, of this city. their denomi-
nation has always stood for an entire
separation of church and state. and
had opposed attempts at religious leg
islation. Sunday laws he regarded as
religious laws and he was therefore
uncompromisingly opposed to them.
