Length of Service.
az FRANK G. MENkE.

Tommy Leach seems to have been
overlooked by most of those who are
singing the praises of those who have
long lived in major league circles.
Wagner is now serving his eighteenth
term, Lajoie is in his nineteenth and
MathewsOn is in his fourteenth. Their
achievements have been heralded al
most daily, but Leach, who is playing
his sixteenth season, has been passed
by almost entirely.
Tommy, playing in the Cub outfield,
is fielding and throwing with all the
skill and power that made him won
clubbing the ball harder and safer
than in any other year of his big
league career, and if he maintains the
present clip he will not only lead La.
joie and Wagner in the clubbing line
but has mighty fine chance to top
the National league batsmen.
Leach's legs have gone back on him
a bit, and he hasn't the marvellous
speed of ten years ago, but the pedal
trouble is not of a serious nature, and
even now he is as speedy as most OF

Werner, Cincy Recruit, Han

Victory.

The admirers of Dick Kenney's ball
team were given an unpleasant sur
prise Sunday afternoon when Rich
mond was defeated by the fast Con-
nersville Grays at Connersville by the
score of 2 to 1.
Werner, the Connersville pitcher,
who had been recruited from fast
semi-pro team of Cincinnati, proved
too much for the Quakers.
The game was exciting, and several
close decisions were made, which
brought the crowd of rooters to it's
feet.
In the fifth inning Richmond run
ner was called out at the plate, and
according to Kenney it was an unfair
decision. He rushed ON the field, only
to be taken off by two burly policemen.
one the chief of police of Connersville.
Several other decisions were contested
by both teams, and it was the general
opinion that the umpire was either
blind or ignorant. Connersville plays
here next Sunday, and on account Of
the close game yesterday enthusiasm
is at it's height. 1t is said that 4

BIG RING BATTLES
DRAW POOR GATES
eY EANk q. MENkE.

NEW YORK. July 20.-Champion-
ship ring battles are not drawing as
large gates as they used to In the old
days. The younger generation Of fight
fans thought that the $4,000 gate at
the recent Jack Johnson-Frank Moran
fight In Paris was q rather sizeable
one. but 1t was nothing to get excited
about when the facts are taken into
consideration that this was a cham
pionship battle, and that 1t was staged
in country that was viewing q heavy
weight championship fight for the first
time.
The Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno
on July 4, 1910, drew the largest gate
in history-$270,755, not including the
money realized from moving pictures,
which is said to have been something
like $S5, 200. OF this amount Jeffries
got $1,000 and johnson something
like 100000.
Jim Corbett and Kid Mccoy staged a
five-round scrap in Madison Square
Garden many years ago, and the gate
amounted to nearly $4,000.
Corbett and Jeffries drew at $50, $40
gate when they met in San Francisco
in 1903 in their second battle.
The Sharkey-Jeffries fight staged
at Coney Island in 1899, which JET
fries won, drew 100000.
Fitzsimmons, wonderful fighter tina,
he was, never drew we'll. The biggest
gate for a fight in which he figured
was trifle over $40,000-the fight
with Jim Hall in New Orleans. 1t has
been said that Fitz never got his share
of this gate, and that he fought for al
most nothing.

In the eighth. Longstreth, who had
