 WOLGAST'S DEPT
Will Meet the Former Champion
 for Side Bet of $25,OOO

Los Angeles, Cal. July SO-WIl1is Rttchie is there with the "come back thing. The lightweight champion hands Wolgast an answer well caIcu- lated to curl the hair about little Ado4ph's temples.
 Wolgast has posted $1,0OO with Jim Jeffries. the same to go as a forfeit on a $25,0O0 side bet to Ritchie. One half this amount was to be bet that Wolgast would whip the tttle-holder in a twenty-round battle, the other half to go as a straight wager that .Wolgast would knock out, stop or force Ritchie to quit inside the limit
 We call Wolgast's proposition" said Rftchie last night. we accept Vol gast's invitation just as it lays. The only stipulation we make is that half the amount, s12,5O0, be posted on the day the articles are signed, the re- mainder to go up ten days before the contest.
 eI will be ticl1ed half to death to take .Ad. on. again. I have been pass ing his case un because feared that he was not a, good drawing card. But with a bet of this kfnd I can't afford to let him slip out of my hnads.
 Hell have to make good now or run I want to fight on either Sep tember 1 or g. WoIgast can have either of these holiday sessions"

ENGLISH HAVE NEW
 AElBl FOR DEFEAT
 IN TENNIS MATCHES

London, July 30-An anonymous let ter appearing in the Standard yester- nay declares that the English com zetitors in the Davis Cup matches were the better aIl-around players, but that the Americans won the tro- 1ohy ecauseAdcL.ough1in had mastered and concentrated his play on a. smash ing service, in which any number of English players could equally have perfected themselves
 Thus the cup was won,'' the letter continues, ''by a trick, though per tectIy Legitimate trick within the rules, which does not further the best in- terests of lawn tennis. Unless this smash service is barred, like the, spot stroke In billiards, tennis is within measureable distance of dea.th.''

LEACH CROSS WINS
 FROM BALDWIN
New Yorker Gets Decision on Points After 20 Rounds
 of Furious Fighting

Vernon, Gal, July 30-Before a big crowd of fight fans Leach Cross of New York last night got the. decision over Matty. Baldwin Of Boston after 20 furious rounds. Leach realizing his ability to take a lot of punish ment carried the battle to Baldwin from the start. He landed frequent ly on Baldwin and the crowd cheered the New Yorker.
 Try as he might, however, Cross could not put Baldwin away. Matty always came back for more punish ment and in the last few rounds be- gan to slip a few over on Cross. Leach's lead was too big for him to lose the decision, though. Cross now claims he is entitled to a match with Ritchie because Baldwin got vic tory over the champion in Rftchie's s earlier days.

JACK JOHNSON VERY
 ANXIOUS TO GET BOUTS
(Bx T. s. Andrews.)

According to news from Europe. Jack Johnson is getting coclxey again and wants to meet either Bombardier Wells, Georges Carpenter or Al Pal ger. Now why don't Jack name Sam Langford or Joe Jeannette2 have just received the following let ter from London regarding the mat ter: Johnson is here again andaWith his usual effrontery. He boldly an- nounces that he wants $50, 1000 to meet one of the big stars, naming Wells Carpenter and Palzer.. Why that fs a joke. All that talk about Russian syndicate offering big sums for N match is pure bunk. It is also re- ported that he will remain here as the laws of extradition are very com pIfcated. He may reside in Paris per manentIy. I do not know what tho French clubs will do, but it is almost certain that Johnson will not be per n1itted to box in England. If the big fellow was to take on Langford there might be many go over to. Paris to see the match, but not the other easy ones"

MAGEE IN DUTCH
 WITH PHILA. FANS

Billy Phelon of the Cincinnati Times-Star believes that Sherwood Ma,gee has outlived his usefulness in Philadelphia and has the following to say about the Buffalo boy:
 Although Sherwood Magee is bat ting round .312, and banging as many long drives as ever, his popularity has waned at Philadelphia, and any club desiring his services could get him very reasonably. Even the bleachers, whq adore a heavy hitter, have turned against him. Becker is their favorite now They all yell for Beals on every play. and cries of Watch Becker, Mag!'' ring out in every game. Becker, who finally sees the Iong-withheld chance of regular play before him, is fielding and bat ting like a demon. Imagine the sit uation-Sherwood Magee benched for Beals Becker! Who would have thought it possible a year ago? 'tI don't want Magee. Not even as a gift, or for the waiver price. Wou1dn't t have him on my team,'' says Joe link CT. and all the other managers seem to feel the same way about him.

Manager Cross announced this morn ing that he released outhelder Kehoe on account Of his poor fielding yester- day. His error allowed Springfield to tie the second game. To replace Kehoe the manager signed Shorty Long. the outhelder who was let out by. Meriden a few days ago. Long is an experienced ball player and he may, prove a good man for the To- calls. He was due to report in Meri- den today.
 Joe Briggs. the oufhe1der who was suspended early in the season for s1ugging Nea1on of the, New London club. will again be a member of the Planters. Joe refused to join Meriden after he was traded. there for Daniels and Moves. President OfRourke was notified today, however, that Meriden was satisfied to let him, go to New London and it is presumed the Plant CTS will give Meriden either players or money for Briggs. This will give Gene McCann~ a strong outdeld- In Nea1on, Briggs, and Holden he has one of the best combinations in the league. Since he was suspended Briggs has been playing with Bellows Falls, Vt, in the Twin5state league.

The claim of Kid Williams of Bal tinnore to the bantam weight title has caused Johnny Coulon, the cham mpfons to write a few lines himself. In a letter to the writer Johnny says; My Dear Andrews-I see where Williams claims my title. Well he may claim all he wants to, but when the time comes I will give him a chance to make good, and you may rest assured I will trim him if I ever trimmed any one. I defeated him in New York when I should have been in bed. The papers were evenly divided, but two gave me the verdict, having nine of ten rounds. It is too bad that I have been laid up and have lost so many good matches, but that can not be helped. When I saw you at Kenosha after fighting Frankie Burns you probably knew I was not right, even though I held him safe all the way T consulted the doctor about my condi- ton and he ordered me to the hcspl- ta1 where I remained 10 days and gained 8 # pounds The doctors aB- sured me I would be as good as ever with a good rest, so am going into. the wflds of Canada to rest up, after which will be back to meet WiiIiauis again and show him whether I am a paper champion. If I felt that J could not beat Williams I would not say it. but I do feel that way and you can bet will prove ft. Two bouts for me on my return and then c championship match"
