STAR POLO PLAYERS
 COMPETING FOR TITLE

Narragansett Pier, R. l., July 19.- The most formidable array of hard riders hard hitters and fast mounts that has ever sought American polo championship honors assembled at the Point Judith country club to-day for the opening of the series of cham pionship events, senior, junior and open. Teams and odd players from nearly all of the polo clubs and many of the country clubs of the East, in c1uding one team from the United States army, will engage in the thirty contests scheduled for the next four weeks.
 Interest will oubtedly center in the Point Judith senior team, which is made up of po1oists of the two inter national teams. Devereaux Mi1burn and J. M. Waterbury, Lord Wodehouse of England. a substitute on the British team and R. L. Agassiz of Boston, an internat1onalist in 1905. Point Ju- dith will play in both the senior and open championships, meeting in the first round in the latter evene the fast Rockaway tea mwhieh is expected to include L. B. Stoddard, another of the American International players, and several other well known poloists.
 The play opens this afternoon with a handicap match while the regular schedule will begin on Monday with the first matches for the Overture Cup.

Noted Ex-Champion Heavy Weight Writes EntertainingIy of Events
 in The FistiC World

(By James J. Corbett, Former Heavy
 weight Champion of the Worfd.) CWritten For The Evening Farmer.1
 It begins to look as if things pugi- Iistac may brighten up locally within the near future. For several months New York has suffered from a dearth Of glove talent, and the promise of Matchmaker Billy Gibson to reopen the Madison Square Garden arena to the boxers is welcome news to Gotham devotees of the sport
 The first bout of importance to be staged in the Garden will be between ~Gunboat' Smith, considered by many the best of the white hopes." and Jim Flynn. the Pueblo fireman, and one of the veterans of the ring. They are scheduled to get together the night of August g.
 Flynn has been after a match with the ~Gunboat'' for long time, and now that he has landed it promises to enter the ring in the best possible shape Jim realizes that his ring future hangs on the result of this match and that he must be at his very best to make a showing against the hard-hitting Smith
 Flynn has not taken his recent en- Eagemeuts seriously and as a. result his stock has suffered a severe slump. When he boxed Luther McCarty the last tfme-it was a six round go over in Philly-Jim entered the ring hog fat and in no condition to do himself justice Luther had no trouble out pointing him decisively.
 A year ago Flynn fought / Jack Johnson ands while the loser, there is no doubt that the showing he made against the big black swelIed the ex- Hreman's conk- At any rate he thought himself too good for any of the growing crop of white hopes He had beaten Carl Morris to a pulp, had stopped Al Kaufman, and follow ed the Johnson fight up by knocking

crowd and with his pitchers going well it is no wild statement to give the batteries ii. the first worlds series game as MafhewBon and Meyers against Bender and Schang.
 Brooklyn, which had pennant aspi- ratfons for a time, has slxidded into the second division and Pittsburgh has advanced to a tie with Chicago for third place. It would be no surprise if both the Cubs and Pirates passed the PhilIies before the season is much older.
 The race in the Eastern association is closer than in the majors but at the same time New Haven, with a lead of 52 points, looks like the best bet for the flag. Hartford is scrappy club and has beaten New Haven Frequently but the Senators are not as strong in pitchers as the leaders. New Lon don, with Gene McCann at the helm, is tied with Waterbury for fourth place and it would not surprise the critics if the Planters made a sensa- tfonal finish. Bridgeport has a well balanced club since Manager Cross se- cured outhelders HalIman and Batch But the Crossnen have only a fair pitching staff and until that depart ment is strengthened the team can't improve it's standing.

RITCHlE OFFERED
 PURSE OF $2O,OOO
NEW YORK PROMOTER WANTS CHAMPION TO MEET
 THREE MEN.

If Willie Ritchie. our lightweight champion, has any real fondness for real money, all he has to do is to accept the offer made yesterday by James Johnston, who has taken the management of the St. Nicholas A. C.. of New York upon himself. John ston wired Ritchie an offer of $20,00O if the title holder will fight three men Joe Shugrue, Jack Britton and Pa,ckey McF'arland4ten rounds each.
 As there are no decisions rendered Ritchie cannot lose his title unless he should be knocked out. That, we are fain to say, will hardly occur.
 Tn addition to this liberal offer Johnston is willing to guarantee Rttchie $7,5oO if he will box Fred die Welsh, the English lightweight champion, ten rounds This would give Willie an opportunity to prove whether the decision Welsh got over him in Los Angeles last year was all that Welsh claimed it to be-
 Ritchie received an offer to box Welsh ten rounds, no decision, in Van couver, B. C., but declined.

Although Connie Mack still solemn ly assures all corners that his Athletics haven't cinched the American league pennant yet and Manager Griffith of Washington tells the war correspon- dents that the Senators are still in the race, it looks to the old subscriber as if Philadelphia has already added an- other pennant to its collection. Of course the Athletics haven't done very we'll on the road. They lost a, series to Detroit and also dropped a couple to the White Sox but they have such a, big lead they can afford to loiter. With a margin of 120 points Connie can enjoy his nightly slumber. The Athletics have been a poor road team this season but have been strong at home.
 Cleveland, which was looked upon to give the Mackmen fight, has been slipping fast and to-day Washington is only Is points from second place. Either Cleveland or Washington has a chance for the bunting, but a very remote one.
 In the National league the Giants are going under wraps with a lead of 93 points over the Phil1ies. No team in the big show is so well fortified with capable substitutes as McGraw's g

Jim COrbe Scans The PugiIistic Horizon For The Farmer
SCRAPPY PLAYERS
 FINED $25 EACH
NIAGEE AND GATHERS OF CAR DINALs ESCAPE SUSPENSION
 FOR FIST FIGHT.

President Lynch of the National League yesterday fined Lee Magee and Ted Gathers, the two pugilfstic youths of the St. Louis Cardinals, twenty-hve bones each for their fist fight on the St. Louis bench on Thursday. Lynch said the offense justified suspension, but owing to the fact that the St. Louis club was badly crippled by in- Juries to Huggins, Hauser and Cakes he would not lay off the scrappy ball players.
 Lynch says he thought such action was only fair play to the St. Louis club, as we'll as to the entire National League. President Lynch's stand in the matter met with universal ap- proval, as it would have been tough sen the Cardinals if they were further weakened. As it was, Gathers pulled up with a bad leg in the second game yesterday and Pitcher Harmon had to be played in the outfleld.

 Pitcher Earl Moore, who was sold recently by Manager Dooin to St. Louis, refused. 1t is said to report to the Cardinals. but says he would be willing to play with the Reds. It is reported the trade may be on the ba- sis of Suggs for Moore.

Greenwich, Conn. July 1s.-Whts } playing golf yesterday in a foursome at the Greenwich Country Club. A. Weisgarten. Philadelphia broker, was the victim of an accident which probably will cause him to lose the sight of his left eye.
 MT. Weisgarten was playing a bras sic shot, and, after hitting the ball, it struck a rock, bounded back and struck the players left eye. MT. Weis- garten was wearing glasses because his right eye had been operated upon. Drs. c. c. Boyle and William Francis Ho- nan, eye specialist, said that MT. Weis- garten had suffered hemorrhage of the left eye.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

High. the Tigers utility outhelder has been hitting pretty nearly as hard as Ty Cobb himself
 Whenever a record is smashed, or a chance for one is toppled, it is the St. Louis Browns that upset the beans. They came near putting the kibosh on Pitcher Boehling's 10 straight record. Leverenz, the former Hartford south paw twir1er, is one of the St. Louis Browns most reliable boxmen. He is winning more than he is losing, and that is saying a whole lot for a St Louis pitcher.
 Wonder where the wires were cross ed in Ban Johnson's office recently. First he declares that Ty Cobb has not been suspended and now he states that he is vexed at MeA1eer for all lowing stahI to get away from the champions.
 President Farrell o1 the Yankees was unknown to the ticket takers at Ebbets field Tuesday. He had to pay his way. When Ebbets heard of this he was an unhappy man.
 President Navin of Detroit says both games of double-header should be chopped to seven innings each.
 With Big Ed Walsh, Eddie Ccotte and Buck .O'Brien, the Chicago White sox have a swell trio of moist ball fingers.
 An epidemic of broken legs seems to have struck the Western league. The latest victim of the malady is Second Baseman French of Denver, who re- ceived a fracture of his right leg in Omaha, and will be out of the game for the rest of the season His is the fourth case in the last few weeks.
 If there is room under the Detroit grandstand Frank J. Navin might put it to good use by building a frat house. Something will have to be done now that school is out, and the boys are going to Navin field for a try in the big show. The coIlegians have enough votes to carry any clubhouse argu- ment. Pipp, recruited to play first, has given some sparkling exhibitions of fielding in practice. PepIosky is good. The boy is bit too nervous at present to show his true form, but as soon as stage fright wears away he will give Jennings a true line on his ability.
 Several weeks ago man was dis cussing baseball with Connie Mack of Philadelphia, and it was intinated that it might be better from a h2an- ciaI standpoint if the Athletics did not have such a big lead and did not outc1ass the other American league teams to such a marked degree. That did not make a hit with MT. Mack. Nothing is sure in baseball said Connie. ssNo matter what lead my team has, am never absolutely satis-

MAY TRADE COBB
 FOR IRIS SPEAKER
REID soX oUTFTELDER SORE Ay MANAGER CARRIGAE AND
 WANTS CHANGE

Detroit, Mich, July 1s-A sensa- tionaI baseball deal in which Ty Cobb, the star outf1elder of the major leagues, is to be traded for Iris Speaker of the Boston Red sox, an equally great outhelder, fig said to be well under way. It Is stated here by . those who claim to be familiar with the inside history of the deal that President McA1eer has already made oyertures to President Navin and that the latter expressed his willingness to make the trade provided the Bosrou nagnats accompanied his offer with a cash bonus, said to be s5,o00.
 The cash feature of the negotia- tions has made President McAleer hes itate, perhaps to gain the assent of the club directors before closing tho deal
 The recent upheaval in the Red Sox camp, in which Manager StahI was deposed and Catcher Carrigan ap- pointed. in his place, has brought a new crisis in the Red Sox teams aG- fairs. Speaker, 1t is alleged, has baGA one of StahIs most partizan adhsr- ents and, with Wood Is credited with hea ding a faction antagontstfc to the new manager. On this assumption, it is claimed, President McAleer desires to stren ngthen-sthe hands of the new lieutenant, Carrigan, by busting the malcontentss and, at the same time lose no strength from his team
 It is no secret that Cobb has de- sired to get away from Detroit ever since the team won it's last league championship. His troubles with the ma nagement have multiplied almost con tfnuo ously. cu1minating last spring in an open refusal to sign a contract except at an exorbitant figure. This salary, of course, the Boston club would have to assume If the trade is put through. The difference between Speakers salary and Cobb's is said to be $4, 900 a year, which in itself would relieve the Detroit club from a heavy burden. It is this difference, probably, that causes President AEcA Aleer to hesitate over paying the bonuB President Navfn asks

 According to a decision made by the Eastern Association magnates at their recent meeting in Springfield, the game at Savin Rock which Bridge port protested. must be played over. This takes a victory away from New Haven and a defeat from Bridgeport in the present standing. Manager Monte Cross protested this game be- cause Umpire Bedford allowed Pop Foster to advance from second to third after Moose Miller had been declared out for being hit by a batted ball. President O'Rourke was ready at the time to sustain the protest but it was withdrawn by Owner Freeman of the locals.
 Gene McCann is having his troubles in New London already. Pitcher Fred dy Rieger, a warm friend of Jack Burns, the deposed manager, has quit the team. He is sore because Burns was busted and because some of the Another twirler has also threatened to leave the club. McCann will have to get busy and spread the salve in order to get the players in line.
 If outfelder Joe Briggs does not join Meriden by tomorrow he will be put on the blacklist of organized ball and it will cost him stiff fine before he can play again. Since he was suspended for his fight with outfeIder Nealon of New London, Briggs has been playing with Bellows Falls, Vt in the Twin-State league. New Lon don traded Briggs and Waller to Mer iden in return for pitcher Daniels and infelder Moves but Briggs has refused to report to Meriden.
