Notes of the Game.

Washburn was never in danger at
any stage of the game. There was no
mistake made i'm the battery this
time, Schmiler and Shafer having the
Ashland boys at their mercy during
the entire contest. ..aat -
Hovde carried off theos batting
honors, getting three hits and a walk
in four times at bat. Burke played
the last five innings of the game after
Posey was injured. CarautheFs made
pretty catch of Wier's fly in the
first inning.
The Washburn men had their eye
on the ball at all times, and hit it
nearly every time up. Only five
men were struck out by Boost.
A large number of fans accompanied
the team. One lone fan had courage
enough to place a bet of W 30 on the
contest and of course he crowed hard
est about the defeat Of Ashland.

Pelky-Smith Battle

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.-Ar-
thur Pelky and his manager, Tommy
Burns, are in town. Pelky came here

his choice for first battle "Gunboat"
Smith. Burns and his fighter held a
long conference with Jimmy Coffroth
and if arrangements can be made
Pelky and Smith will furnish the La
Dor Day card in this city. Pelky had
little to say, Burns doing all the talk

There will be a general DISPOSE

Willie Richie as a false alarm" said
Burns.

Best Bet Is to Play Champions
Title Holders Have Big Shade

a row after they attain the title and
have a big natural shade in all OF
their contests Tie argument is a
sound one. because champions after
annexing titles, do not make the kind
of matches that they can not win
and they know they can win them
when they make them, Mind you this
is not an intimation that there is
anything wrong or any skulduggery
practiced by any of them. But the
average champion is a pretty wise
sort of a gink. He knows that to
keep a title is TO make plenty of
money Hence, he figures with the
greatest of care, and when finally he
signs to battle. it's about to 1 that
he Is going to win.
A ND another thing worth figuring
II is that referees have natural
leanings toward champions and don't
take titles away from them without
the very best OF cause. Which is a
strong point in favor Of the
when he starts into action.
But, Of course, the strongest point
of all is the fact, borne out by many
a precedent. that champions almost
always win a bunch of fights before
being compelled to resign the top
rung of the ladder.
