FFHAND, one might remark
/ that Ritehie figures at least a
10 to 8 choice over the New
Yorker, and the way in which he
hammered Cross around the ring
may possibly lengthen the price.
The champion showed very plain

condition He seemed to have

<kTH HE man without a punch
never will beat Ritchie
when Ritchie is right" This
statement has been made many
time by many a fan who knows
the little champion. They saw him
take the gaff from Wolgast and
from Rivers. and they know away
down deep in their hearts that
both these men can deliver a much
sitter punch than the lad from
Harlem.
URPHY never has been noted
VE for his punching ability The
49, only time that he swung in
with the decisive wallop around
here was when he beat frankie
Burns, and not few OF them
made up their minds that Burns
quit that day. Tommy failed TO
knock Wolgast off his feet in two
tries, and the best he got with
one Round Hogan was draw,
because he could not hit hard
enough.
xvyE know that Ritchie can hit.
M He proved this conclusively
w every time that he started
against an opponent. He bowled
Wolgast over, hammered Rivers
till the Mexican dogged it and
then he put Cross on his back
twice in the same round. After
these three practical demonstra-
tions, can anybody doubt the wal
lop delivering powers Of the San
Franciscan?
lVt eraI and knows more of the
49, tricks of the trade, but
whether these two assets will off,
set Ritchie's superior hitting abil-
ity must be shown when they get
together. Murphy is just as game
as Ritchie and will stand up and
assimilate punishment as long as
he has a leg to stand on When
two game men get together they
always put up great exhibition.
TN one respect at least Gunboat
Smith is in the same class with
Tommy Murphy--he can fight
in some cities and he can't fight IN
others The gunner is bear back
in Gotham, where Murphy has
tossed nothing but boomers. The
Gunner is a joke in San Francisco,
where Murphy is looked upon as
a regular hero. It's hard to figure
out the dope on this queer mixup.

give the local fans a chance TO
cheer him. Perhaps our climatic
conditions are not quite TO the

must dig up some sort Of an alibi
to square himself.

~ HEY ought to take that Gun
ner and ship him over to Paris
and there send him after John

that the mammoth smoke is tot

who knows but that black Jack

REPORT SAYS MRS. SULZER is SERIOUSLY ILL
GLYNN ACTING AS NJ Y. GOVERNOR


Albany, N. Y, Aug. 16.-A state
ment that Mrs. SuIzer, wife of the
governor, is in a very serious con-
ditiOn and that she suffered re-
lapse was issued from the executive
chambers. 1t was declared that her
temperature was 1O2 and her pulse
118 and that she was partly deliriOus.
DR.. Herman Benden administered
Opiates with the result that she was
reported as sleeping this morning and
her temperature slightly reduced.
Friends with whom Gov. Sulzer has
discussed his wife's condition say
that her breakdown is complete.
DR.. Robert Abrams, the SUlzer
family physician, was recalled from
New York today, and when seen at
the depot after he had examined the
patient he declared that her condition
was not alarming.
Backed by nearly every state Off
Cial, Martin H Glynn is discharging
the duties of governor. He is not in
possession of the executive chamber
where William SUlzer still holds forth,
but the regular routine of the state
operations, excepting those of the
department of prisons and the high
way department, in which SulzeT ap-
pOintees dominate, went over to
Lieut.-GOv. Glynn's rooms.
Since Glynn's refusal to consent to
test cases to try the legality of the
Impeachment, the feeling between
the factions is growing increasingly
bitter Threats of personal violence
were made by the lesser lights in the
crowd, but these are not taken seri-
Ously as yet.
Friends of Sulzer have been ar
ranging mass meetings in various
sections of the state and it is believed
his adherents will flock here in hun
dreds to express in person their criti-
Cism Of the legislature for voting the
impeachment. If this is done, the

Tener May Work for
A Time Without Paw

1t is believed in sporting circles that
Governor John K. Tener of Pennsylva-
MIA, who is slated for election as pres
ident of the National Baseball league
at the annual meeting, which will be
held December 8, would. IL elected, at
once become "the real boss" of the
leagues affairs, although he will draw
no salary as league president until the
expiration of his term as governor.
January 1. 1915.
1t is understood that If elected Cow
ernor Tener would find time to visit
league headquarters at least two days
each week and to be an active mem

part of that baseball court January I
next.
While Secretary John A. Heydler
probably will be given more authority
than he hitherto has had and decide
many of the details of National league
affairs during the next year, 1t Is un-
derstood that Governor Tener will
pass final judgment upon all important
matters, such as the selection Of UNI
pires, the decision of protested games
and the adjustment OF disputes be-

AS member of the national commits
sion 1t would become his duty to vote

American league for a chairman Of

ally. August Hermann, owner of the
Cincinnati team, has been the chair
man since 1908, and he is again the
sole candidate for the craftsmanship.
When Mr.. Tener completes his term
as governor of Pennsylvania 1T is ex-
pected he will move his family to New
York so that he can devote his entire
time to league affairs.

Won Games Without
Scoring TouchdoWnS

It is regarded as an index to the
new order of things in football that
Harvard. winner of first place in the
rating of eastern teams this fall, has
won this honor without scoring a
touchdown in either of it's two most
important games. Harvard defeated
Yale and Princeton by field goals, not
withstanding that Harvard was a bet
ter team than either, according to
many observers, in all round football.
The absence of touchdown play Is
made still more remarkable by noting
that Yale also made no touchdowns
against Harvard or Princeton, and
Princeton made none against Yale or
Harvard In this triangle of major
teams 81 OF the 20 points scored were
by goals from field, the remaining two
being due to a freak safety, which Is
a unique record in the annals of Har-
ward -Yale-Princeton football.
Charles z. Brickley, the phenome-
nal Harvard player, with five goals in
one game-one a phenomenal lift
carries off the undisputed honor of
being the most brilliant star of the
eastern players. In fact, the next
best record that can be recalled is the
feat of Walter Eckersall, who nut
four drop kicks over the bar In a
game against Wisconsin several years
ago.

NJ 'FARLAND MAY
MIX Up WITH
JIM CLAbbY
Chance for Men to Meet in
This City at 148
Pounds
By EDDIE GEIGER

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-There is hope of
a 90 round battle between Packey
Mcfarland and Jimmy Clabby. two Of
the greatest boxers the ring pos
sesses today. Though on Saturday
Mcfarland declined the issue with the
Hammond star. today he asked "a
hours to give the matter second
thought. It is believed Jim's offer to
do 14S pounds ringside has caught the
Chicago speed marvel's eye. Jimmy
Coffroth wants to stage this contest,
which. IL arranged. should give San
Francisco fans the greatest boxing
treat that has been staged there in
years.
Tonight Mcfarland battles 10
rounds with Jack Britton in Milwau-
kee. Britton is one of the topnotchers
in the 135 pound division and he
should make Mcfarland step about
some, but there is hardly a chance of
Britton's reward being anything
other than licking. Packey is at
his best, and when he is right he's
some battler.
Mcfarland will outweigh his oppo-
nent about five pounds. The stock
yards fighter is not going into the
ring tonight bent on a knockout, but
he is determined to make Britton
realize that he is his superior. ''Dumb"
Dan Morgan, whose typewriter has
been telling US for week and in
each mail that Britton once beat
Packey and IN the second battle
fought a draw with a slight shade,
handed his man by some of the
scribes, has angered Mcfarland and
he tells us that he's going to take his
revenge out on the North slider.
Some time tomorrow Mcfarland Is
going to let US know if he will accept
the Clabby match.

Old Rivals Are Now Tied
for the City Cham

The Yosemite intercollegiate foot
ball eleven took to walloping
from the Brooklyns yesterday on the
Ocean Shore grounds. This gives
each team a victory for the city
championship under the American
code laws, and a final game will be
arranged. probably for Christmas day.
The Brooklyn team outweighed the
Yosemite men. Dave Brown and Rit-
ter did considerable of the line
plunging work for the winners. which
was brought off successfully, while the
Yosemite men relied mostly on the
forward pass. but it was not success
full. The work of the veteran. Harry
Flatley. was a big factor in the
Brooklyn victory.
In the second quarter Mehrtens
scored from a forward pass for the
Yosemite, but the referee ruled that
the ball was taken out Of the 10 yard
zone and ruled it dead.
Freddie Schroeder scored a touch
down in the first quarter, and this
was the only score of the day. The
Yosemites came back strong in the
last quarter and looked dangerous.
but the defense held and the score
board was unaltered when time was
called.

Hits by Instinct

'Ty" Cobb has exploded another
pet baseball theory
People who think a batsman keeps
his eye on the ball from the moment
the pitcher delivers it until he con-
meets, or misses. are badly mistaken"

"A man hits baseball by instinct.
He sees the ball leave the pitchers
hand. of course, but doesn't keep his
eye glued on 1t until he hits. II he
did his batting average would be
minus zero or Whereabouts.
"A man hits by instinct in the game
of baseball. The natural batsman is
the chap who doesn't have to worry
about hitting the ball. He simply
steps up and biffs away. The light
hitter seldom improves. no matter
what he does to increase his eff
ciency'
Cobb has applied his baseball hit
ting methods to golf. Instead of
driving the gutta percha from tee,
he has his caddy throw the ball to
him and when 1t bounces an inch or
so above the ground, swats II. "Ty'
