WHAT HURST SAID
Went FOR ALL
ETERNITY

Tim Hurst-would that We could see
him back in the game once more
never had an equal for firmness, pos
itfveness or assertiye convictions.
When Mr.. Hurst said a thing there
was no changing his decision. He
stood by his verdict on the bah field
and he'd stand by 1t ever after. Il
you don't believe 1t, ask Jake Stahl
or William Armour.
The Cleveland club struggling hard
for the pennant with its usual de-
termination-and usual fall down
was at Washington. and the Senators,
down near the bottom, but fighting
hard, were waging grim war against
them. 1t was the seventh inning; the
tab was 3 to 2 in Washington's favor
and Cleveland had the sacks popu-
lated, with two among the missing.
The mighty Lajoie came up and
swung viciously at an outcurve. Up
went the ball, soaring high in the air
up like a skyrocket. Hayden. who
was catching, ran in; Jake Stahl
gailoped over from first base The
descending ball fell right between
chem as they slowed up to avoid
bump, and leaped off at tangent.
Neither warrior even touched It; 1t
lay on foul ground and rolled away,
while Lajoie fled to second and the
whole Cleveland crowd ran home.
None of the Washingtons even moved,
taking it for granted that the ball was
foul. Fair Bali" yowled Hurst, and
pandemonium broke loose.
All Washington raved, ragged and
ramped round Hurst, but Tim stood
like Gibraltar's rock He chased some
of them off the field, and he prom
.sed to lick the rest. Again and
again he made furious sorties toward
some specially vocal senator, and az
ter eighteen minutes a semblance OF
calm was restored, only to be shat
tered every time any Washington man
would think about that decision
Cleveland won out, and Hurst, pur-
sued by the imprecations of the home
team, and by few pop bottles, stalk
ed from the field to his hotel.
After supper, Tim sat in the lobby,
cooling his heels, while hard, grim
look seemed to have frozen itself upon
his jowls While he was thus COM
muning with himself, Billy Armour,
then scouting for Detroit, came up to.
him. Say, Tim," snickered Bill Arm
our, merrily, "about the decision to-
day Say, on the level, Tim, was that
ball fair or foul. Looked like foul
to me-"
Mr.. Hurst arose, his face purpling
in the light of the electric lamps. He
doubled up his fists, advanced on Mr..
Armour, and presented one fist direct
ly under Armour's nose.
THAT ball." said Mr.. Hurst, was a
fair ball today. And it's going to be
fair ball tomorrow, next Sunday an
through all eternity! That ball, Mr..
Armour, will always be fair, and /
want you to understand me right now,
with no further arguin' whateveri"
And as far as is known, that ball is
still fair today.

DOESN'T
Want TO FIGHT
AT PRESENT

II silence means anything, and ST.
lence is frequently more powerful
than words, then Willie Richie is not
laundering for a Fourth Of July match
with Tommy Murphy. or for that mat
ter, with any other lightweight, says
Harry B. Smith, in the San Francisco
Chronicle
Following on the heels of the de-
feat of Wolgast by the New Yorker.
Coffroth announced that he was
anxious to match Murphy with Richie
for independence day. The word
reached Richie, who is en- tour in
Montana. and the lightweight cham
pion Immediately declared his will
ingness to meet Murphy, but said
nothing definitely as to the date that
would be satisfactory to him.
Then Coffroth tried his hand at get
ting in touch with Richie. and the
Chronicle" discovering that Richie
was playing at Great Falls, Mont, ad-
dressed the title holder telegram
asking to outline his intentions as to
whether he would be prepared 20 box
on the Fourth of July.
1t is in response to that telegram
that there has been ominous silence.
AS | have said, it doesn't appear
that Richie wants to fight as early as
the Fourth of July, and prefers to
keep stringing out his theatrical work
to the last possible moment. At the
same time he needs all the publicity
that he can secure, and the answering
of such a telegram might easily be
embarrassing both to Richie and
Nolan, his press agent and personal
representative.
In short, it is one question they
can't afford to answer positively one
way or the other unless Richie in
tends to box on the day mentioned.
If he doesn't want to fight in July
it would be a death blow to the re-
mainder of his theatrical work to adj
NIT that he is stalling and postponing
the time of his temperance in the
ring to defend his title.
And his failure to answer the mes
sage means just what has been sur
missed all along--that Willie Richie,
lightweight champion by grace of
tout. wants to make as much money
on the side as is possible before he
risks rhisk championship.
It is not a nice thing to say of
boxer as high in the ranks, but it
looks very much as If Willie is any
thing but fighting champion Either
that or he is persuaded against his
will by Nolan who is out for the
money and nothing else.

One of the fastest horses he ever

PlTTSBURGH.-Ge E. Smith,
Pittsburgh Phil" was one of the won-
ders of the turf world. 1t was said
many times before his death, and with
much truth, that he was fifty years in
advance of the times. His knowledge
of the thoroughbred and its racing
value seemed to be gift. He was a
genius. This deduction is drawn from
the fact that he started in the world
with bank roll that consisted of his
earnings as cork cutter, which were
hardly more than sufficient to supply
the necessaries of existence. But he
was a great student in anything he
did. IL was his maxim to do well what
he started out to co or let it alone.
His first ideas of specializing came
with his first knowledge of baseball.
As his nickname implied, he was
born in the neighborhood of Pitts
burgh, and when he reached the age
of admittance to poolroom he used
to visit Harry Prices establishment,
where auction pools were sold on the
races and baseball games. Phil proved
an adept at picking winners of ball
games and later turned his attention
to the horses. He made close study
of the records, which in those days
were not nearly as prolific or detailed
as they are today, yet it was not so
much the printed accounts of the races
that aided him as his great memory.
Phil had memory that was simply
phenomenal Even in his declining
years he could describe a race that
had been run years before, and so cor
rectly that research proved conclu-
sively that he had not erred in the
most minute particular.
The first horse that attracted the at
tention of Phil was Bootjack. 1t was
| the first horse whose achievements
were followed closely by the great
plunger, and SO well did he learn the
racing value of Bootjack that he rare
! ~ failed to bet on him when he won
and bet against Kim when he lost, and,
though the amounts he won were com
paratively small, it gave him conf

Shows Rare Judgment.

day Price said TO him during the bust.
ness on race that Bootjack was in:
You can't have all the pools on Boot
jack today, young fellow. I'm going
10 get a few of them myself.
Il have no objection replied Phi
in nonchalant way in fact, don't
think l want any pools on Bootjack
today; the weights do not suit me, and
should not be surprised at all to see
him beaten. Of course. you know thai
| have never seen a horse race in my
life; l am merely calcul ating on the
recent records of the horse. l will
freely give you the privilege of buying

PIITSBURG PHIL One Of THE
WONDERS Of THE TURF WORLD

swered Price, "but have to differ
With you today. 1t took me a long
time to get onto the fact that Boot
jack is some sort of horse, and I'll
take a chance OF two on him."
Price bought all the pools he want
ed on Bootjack and Phil cast his lot
with another horse in the race. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the horse
Phil bet on won the race and Bootjack
was beaten. 1t was this one race that
caused Price to remark that Phil
ought to erect monument to the
memory of Bootjack, for that was the
horse that first brought him into turf
prominence and provided the nucleus
to the $1,S00,000 which he left to his
relatives at his death.
Leaving Pittsburgh, Phil had a snug
little sum tucked away in his jeans
and he took a train for Chicago. The
business of cork cutting had been dis
carded. His sole and undivided at
Itention was turned to the thorough
bred Arriving in Chicago, he began
an attack on poolroom that was run
by Murphy. Silver Bill Riley and
Daye Pulsifer, who afterward became
the proud owner of the little sway
/ backed horse Tenny.
In those days there was consider
able betting on the principle of horse
against horse At this style of specu-
lation Phil excelled. Murphy, Riley
and Pulsifer were recognized experts
at this game also, and all three were
eager to get a crack at the new arri-
val from Pittsburgh, of whom they
had heard but never seen.
So badly did he beat all three of
them financially that Silver Bell Riley
was first to cry enough" Murphy
retired few days later, having come
to the conclusion that he was sec.

sifer was stubborn. He criticised his

was his parting shot at his partners.
