CHICAGO, July 21-Dixie Boehling' 5
great work is becoming a continued
story, another chapter being added ev-
cry time he ascends the mound. The
next chapter will narrate either his sue
cess or failure to pass the seasons sue
, cessive victory mark of ten, which he
equaled yesterday in the opening con-
test with the White Sox before fully
3.Ooo fans. And just because the smil-
ing lad from Richmond. Va. won with
four runs to spare, don't imagine that
he had any cinch. He had TO work all
through the game just as hard as ever
he did In his glad young life on the dia-
mond. He thoroughly deserved the VIC
tory, which places him in the hall Of
fame for 1913 with Walter Johnson, Cy
Falkenberg. and Grover Cleveland Alex
ander.
Boehling was invincible in every ses-
sion but the third. Then Doc White
started the ball a-rolling with a bunt
that carried out to second base on the
fly. giving the twirler a scratch bingle.
Larry Chappell. the $4,000 outfelder pur-
chased last week from Milwaukee,
crashed a clean single to right. Moeiier
then sarbled Berser's single to right
on the line. letting White tally. Chap
pell reach third and Berger second.
Then. indeed, was Boehling In a tight
place. With two on and one out, Harry
Lord and Hal Chase were coming. The
score was to In the lads favor, but
that narrow margin might be wiped
out with a fly to the garden.
Chicago fans are always fair to the
visiting athletes, but they fairly howled
with glee when Lord drew q pass, the
only one Of the afternoon from the
Washington southsider. Up came Hal
Chase, one Of the hardest hitters on the
White Sox. He failed to get hold OF the
pill, boosting foul for Eddie Foster.
Well, two were down and still there was
a chance. Jeems Callahan decided to !

Did Boehling shake In the pinch? Did /
he call for help? Did he lose his cum

is loudly and emphatically, NO. He
stayed right on the job. He let loose q

OF course, there was no referees de-
cision, and we could each claim that

But I'll tell you one thing, I'd as
soon have a sour dispositioned mule

me that kind of a wallop again.

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
ever ran up against. Getting hit by
Ritchie's right cross is, to my way
of looking at it, about the same as
being caressed by policeman's night
stick. OF course, was never ca

CHAPMAN LEADS
AMERICAN IN
TWO-PLYPLAYS

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 FASTENERS. Eddie
Collins. guardian for the White Ele-
plants of the middle cushion. is ac-
knowledged by all experts to be the
Keystone king" of the American
League, but when any authority sets
out to prove that the Columbia
graduate is the peer of his con
temporaries he never PUSHES to the
guide books for statistical inrorma-
ton on the subject.
A good way to find out how swift
a fielder is, some persons think. Is
to take the number OF double plays
a man starts. Up to July 1 the Ameri-
can Leaguers had rid their systems
of $50 dual killings, the man who
started most Of them being Collins.
He took the initiative in sixteen of
his teams two-ply massacres.
The Johnsonites swiftest shortstop,
according to the performances in the
Double Play League, is Ray Chap
man. of the Maps. He inaugurated
dozen plays that resulted in the
retirement Of a pair of runners, In
figuring Chapman's speed as an in
augurator Of double plays. it should
be remembered that he has been often
absent from the Maps lineup be
cause Of injuries. and IT is possible
that had he played all season long,
as has Collins. he would have started
just as many twoply killings.

n 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 Richie Rivers argu-
ment. Joe was one of the first to
pick Richie as a winner and, having
fought both. he was we'll 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 1 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 1 felt that
had the better of the bout for at
least nine and one-half rounds.
was going great against Richie, and
I felt l had him beaten up to within
80 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.
After Richie landed that clout l
was through. OF course. l started to
duck instinctively. and l managed to
