David Fultz, Of the Baseball Players

ticauy all the members of the Gin
cinnau Reds and the Chicago Cubs

been holding these conferences with
all the Western teams of the major
leagues as they have visited this city

annual dues, in addition to laying
plans for the future.
The Reds and Cubs at yesterdays
meeting we're informed that the fra
ternity would soon be asked to take
a firm stand on the question of re-
duction of salaries Of players sent
from the major to the minor leagues.
II was pointed out that the case Of

Fultz declared, 1t is said, that the
fraternity should demand legislation
from organized baseball that would

Of course, there was no referees de-

bout.
But I'll tell you one thing, I'd as
soon have a sour dispositioned mule
kick me as have that Richie boy hit
me that kind of wallop again.
Richie hurt me more in the last 30
seconds of our 10-round bout than
Rivers hurt me in the two 20-round

That right-hand cross of Ritchie's
is the toughest proposition that

TANS are not In the habit Of ruin
II ing their eyesight in studying
the fielding records Of the
major league players and there are
few members Of the Baseball Writers
Association of America who build up
feature stories regarding the defen-
sive work Of the pastimers. Eddie
Collins, guardian for the White Ele-

knowledged by all experts to be the

out to prove that the Columbia

temporaries he never PUSHES to the

ton on the subject.
A good way to find out how swift
fielder Is some persons think, is
to take the number Of double plays

can Leaguers had rid their systems
OF $50 dual killings the man who

Jew ORLEANS, July 11.-Joe
IN Mandot, who at one time
threatened to put New Orleans
on the lightweight championship map,
was one of the interested spectators
of the recent Ritchie-Rivers argu-
ment. Joe was one of the first to
pick Richie as winner and, having
fought both. he was well posted on
the respective ring merits of the two
scrappers. The Southern pride is
till a hit with the coast fans, as the
following clipping will Indicate:
Young Mandot is a scholarly and
clean-cut young fellow. He looks
more like a bank clerk than a boxer,
and his conduct would pass muster in
the inner circles of the 400 or any
other set in high society"
Joe Praises Richie.
Discussing Ritchie's victory, Man
dot says:
That boy is a terrific hitter and a
splendid boxer. And what l like
about Richie is that he carries his
punch with him at all times and can
get one over at almost any stage of
the going.
when I boxed Willie Richie ten
rounds in New Orleans l felt that
had the better of the bout for at
least nine and one half rounds l
was going great against Richie, and
l felt l had him beaten up to within
so seconds of the close of the last
round. Then something happened to
me. Richie crossed that right of his
over my jaw and l imagined that
some one had turned off all the lights.
1t was the hardest punch l was ever
hit in my life, and l guess I've got
ten a few tough wallops in my career.

was through. OF course, I started to
duck instinctively. and l managed to
