WALLACE DECISION
 FAY0RS RETAILERS
FREIGHT REBATE CLAIMS
lDO NOT GO TO WHOLESALERS ON PREPAID FREIGHT,
 HE DECIDES.

Little Rock, Nov. 1S.-Special Mas ter J. G. Wallace Monday afternoon rendered his decision in the dispute between wholesale and retail lumber dealers over the rebate due from over- tcharges collected on shipments while the state rate litigation was pending. Both claimed the rebate, but Special Master Wallace decided in favor of the retailers. The opinion was a lengthy one, and went fully into the law in the case, giving the legal cita- I tions upon which his finding was based. The wholesalers gave notice of appeal to the Federal court, but
 as Special Master Wallace will not | fife his report until he has completed
 all settlements in the rebates, it will
 be we'll along in the new year before
 Judge Trieber can pass upon the
 matter finally.
 This case, together with number
 of others, came before the Special
 Master in the form of interventions.
 There is about S3OO,OO0 due the lum-
 bermen from the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, and the St. ouis-Southwestern, collected
 on shipments while the rate litigation
 was pending. The Wisconsin-Arkan-
 sas Lumber Company, of Walco, filed
 an intervention to collect the rebate
 on all interstate shipments made by
 it during the same period. The East Arkansas Lumber Company of Para
 gould, a consignee in one of the Wis
 cons:n-Arhansas shipments, also filed an intervention to make test of the case. Some other lumber companies
 also filed interventions in order to
 become parties to the suit.
 In his decision, Special Master Wallace declares that the miller sold
 to the consignee at the mill, and his
 title to the property passed when the lumber was delivered to the common carrier. He showed that the price at the mill did not change, but variations in price were made to cover changes in freight rates, when such were ordered.

Harvard's FootbaIIers
Cost Lots of Monev

Harvard developed her football stars
this year at cost of 81, 900 each. Foot
ball, like everything else, has increased
in cost. and the appearance of IL well
conditioned, thoroughly coached play
ers on the field against Princeton and
Yale for the championship will repre-
sent an outlay of more than $4,000
Football championships come high in
price, and to retain her title the GRIM
son has employed the best coaches OBJ
tainable.
The entire coaching staff this sea-
son costs about $4,000, and to this
must be added the heavy expense of
equipping and training big squad Of
players, the hire of special trains and
many other items of cost. 1t Is figured
that each one of the 80 players COM
posing the present Harvard squad cost
the athletic association $1,000 for his
coaching and training. and this is a
season that only lasts about nine
weeks.
Harvard, with her big outlay of
money, isn't bit more extravagant
than other leading colleges. Yale.
Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania and
Dartmouth annually spend fortunes on
their teams.

to one OF their own fighters. AL
though far from being popular
with the rank and file, he seems
to be setting himself in right
with the judges of form, the men
who pride themselves with
knowledge OF the fistic sport. They
all regard him as the lightweight
marvel OF the present day.
And their line OF figuring is
legitimate and feasible at that.
They take into consideration the
fact that Ritchie is Murphy's SUI
perior in every physical detail.
He IL taller. broader. has a longer
reach and heavier. They know
that the weight, 1875 pounds one
hour before the battle. Is going
to help the champion, and act as
a stumbling block to the chal-
lenger.
RITCHIE HAS ADVANTAGE
what has Murphy got that
OF the champions boosters this
morning. '.Or what has Ritchie
got that Is not included in the
makeup OF Murphy
We'll, it's like this: Ritchie Is
n
feet, has more strength. and
as game. Then he Is young and
fresh, while his opponent has
been at the game for so long that
he Is bound to be slipping back.
They can't stand the gam and inn
prove.
IF Richie doesn't knock Mur-
ply out. then they will have to
stop the battle in order to save
the little fellow from New York
from an unnecessary beating.
This Is the way that I have sized
1t up, anyhow"
This fan has a pretty good line
of reason and many will agree
with him. Still. there are others
who are firmly convinced that
Murphy will be just as well able
to withstand Ritchie's blows as
he was to withstand those which
Ad Wolgast showered upon him.
And he certainly came on and
gave Wolgast two 90 round beat
ings, although he got credit Tor
but one of them.
The Murphy men are loyal to the
sturdy Harlemite. They believe
that his stamina, his experience
and his attacks to the body will
carry him through. They look for
him to attack the body of the
champion and never let up till he
has Richie backing up. And can't
for the life of them see where
Richie Is going to stop Murphy
when he starts to wade in.
MURPHY A PLODDER
Murphy generally fights the
same kind OF battle. He starts
to plod in the flrst round and he
keeps on plodding to the finish. He
may have another and a better
style, but he never has displayed
Il here.
Ritchie, on the other hand, is
versatile. He can mix with most
any of them or else he can step
around and box. Generally, the
champion Is slow to start and he
allows his opponent to carry the
battle to him, but once he gets in
his stride, look out, for he always
has the wallop ready.
1t will be remembered that
Rivers gave Richie quite a
lacing for five rounds, but the
finish saw the champion on his
The San Francisco call., 1913-12-06

feet, with another right hand
punch ready, and the Mexican
sprawled on the mat, afraid to
get up.
1t is hard, indeed. to get a line
on a fighter from his workouts.
Some of the most disgusting dubs
who ever broke into the game in
this city were gym workers par
excellence and caused many a fan
to weep and mourn the loss of
his roll. Other great fighters
loomed up like hay pitchers while
conditioning themselves and went
into the ring and won hadily
enough.
AS a matter of fact, neither
Murphy nor Ritchie have done
much impressive work at their
training camps since they started
the grind. Both displayed ten
denoy to take things easy rather
than overwork themselves. But
both look to be In splendid physi-
cal condition at the present time.
1t would be hard, indeed. TO pick
flaw in either OF them.
10Th CAN GO ROUTE
Murphy fights better here than
he does In New York. because
the climate suits him and be-
cause a little work puts him on
edge" says Manager Jim Buck
ley. Anyhow. this Is the way I
have figured II out. Everybody
In San Francisco knows that he
always puts up a slashing go
here, but somehow or other he
can't deliver the same kind of
stun back home"
There may be a lot Of logic to
this. too. One glance at MUIR
phys eastern record and the cas-
ual observer will at once come to
the conclusion that he Is no more
than an ordinary busher. But
just give his San Francisco rec
ord the once over and you will
have to admit that the New
Yorker never was cut out to shine
as star in the city where he
was born and raised.
Nobody doubts that both fight
ers are we'll qualified to go the
whole route OF 30 rounds and
finish strong. They have done 1t
many times and oft. Both know
their condition and both can be
relied upon to be ht this time.
The battle Is too important for
either to take the slightest
chance, for 1t looks as though the
man who weakens first will lose.
Murphy is a better infighter
than Richie. and nobody, not
even the most ardent admirers Of
the champion. will deny this. But
whether Murphy will be able to
penetrate the wonderful defense
of the local boy is another ques-
ton. If he does manage to get
in early in the battle. then look
out for him. because he IL q con-
sistent workman and never loses
heart.
