? RICHIE EAGER
. TO BOX WELSH;
; TO AVENeE U. S.


Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion,
and also a golf player Of considerable
ability. was peeved when he read the
reports from England showing that all
the American golfers had been elimin-
ated from the golf tourney abroad and
when he had finished reading the ac-
counts, he called his new manager,
Emil Thirty, and told him to close up
the match with Freddie Welsh in or
der that he might avenge his fellow
golfers and incidentally give the Brit
ish scrapper a good lacing.
The proposed match between Richie
and Welsh is about closed up now
The British promoters, through Bob
Vernon, of New York, their American
representative, have offered Richie
SIS 5000 for his end of the purse and
500, 600 for his share i'm the advertising
and picture rights, with a privilege of
80 per cent of the receipts should they
run over $4,000. The only hitch now
is that Richie demands so per cent Of
the receipts no matter what they may
aggregate. The bout, if closed, will be
held on June 80, Derby day.

Eddie Collins Tells How Athletic
Manager Handles Men

Eddie" Collins, second baseman for
markably interesting article in the
American Magazine for June, describ-
ing his baseball adventures during the
past seven years under the manage
ment of Connie" Mack, who is prob
ably the greatest baseball general in
the world. In the following extract
from his article, Collins tells a story in
which he gives an insight into Macks
methods of handling men:
Down South, Mack shows attention
to his veterans. Indeed he generally
let's the veterans take care of them
selves. This is especially apparent
around world series time. Last fall
he left us absolutely to condition our
selves He kept the regular team in
tact at the close of the AM
erican league season. We left for
Boston on a Tuesday night but Plank
and Bender were left behind. Mack
told them i'm plain words that the bur-
utl Ol ucltdtlIS lnt NOW loIh bldlltS
was on them.
You fellows have learned to know
how to take care Of yourselves he told
them. You know best how to prepare
Yourself for the strain Of a world
series. Now you don't have to come
with the team on this trip. l have de-
cided to give you ten days to get in
condition for New York. You are at
liberty to use your time in any way
you want only show up fit
Bender selected course that took
him to the ball park every day. He
spent his time pitching and in jogging
around Shibe Park. He remained IN
Philadelphia and kept his mind right
on the game.
Plank, on the other hand, went out
to his farm in Gettysburg, remained
there week and forgot baseball en-
tirely. Long walks and exercise in the
open kept him in shape. He did not
pitch "a single baseball during those
entire ten days. Suppose some man
ager, not as wise as Mack, had laid
down arbitrary training rules for these
two men? AS IL was, the wisdom OF
Macks action is indicated by what
happened in the world series. PLANK
ana Bender never pitched better"

Defence Inquiry Aims of

General Committee Goes Record FayOrng Exhaustive
Investigation Looking to Practicable Policy for

The general committee OF the National
Security League. nifty well known cit

ton and to formulate definite state
ment of the purpose and scope OF the
league which shall he plain not only to

First. To urge upon Congress an ex-
haustive investigation into the defensive

doing this to propose. being ready and
willing to assist any inquiry that in the
wisdom of Congress may be decided

out that the committee and the organiza-
ton are entirely non-partissn and not
committed to any bill now before Congress
nor To any means proposed 20 long as the
facts may be obtained.
Second. They will urge as the outcome
Of the inquiry practicable policy for
creating national defence nd scien-
tiic work thereon.
There was no suggestion at any time
yesterday that the league or Gny individ-
ual member desired a great standing
army. though many frankly expressed
themselves as in favor of a larger and
better balanced navy.
