Richie May Be Training for Future
Big Bouts

Willie Ritchis, who has been keep
ing his pugilistic light hidden for a
long time, will have to seek new
fields if he begins a comeback cam
pagin aimed at the lightweight cham
pionship, which he lost to Freddie
Welsh in London.
The California anti boxing law,
adopted at the last election, will go
into effect within few days and then
only four-round amateur bouts will
be possible in what was one of the
last stands of boxers in this country.
New Orleans is still open and a rush
of fighters to that city is probable.
Immediate tests will be made of the
new California law, as fight promot
ers claim it is unconstitutional.
Ritchie's absence from the spot
light means one of two things. The
former champion is either figuring
on a comeback after long period
of careful preparation, or he has re-
signed himself to the permanent loss
of the title and will re-enter the ring
in a series of money-making bouts
as AID Wolgast has done.
Ads system has brought good re-
turns, but Richie is still young
man and more capable of a return
than the Michigan man. He has am
bition and Unfortunately proud of the
crown when he wore it.
His last fights with Welsh and
White clearly proved that Willie
would have tn advance far before he
could whip either, and it may be
that he has decided to lose himself
in the shuttle until he feels capable
of flashing out and taking a stand
up whirl at the two leaders. .
Dropping the press agent is new
stunt for fighters, who usually make
pitiful attempts to stay in the bright
glare after they are absolutely
through. 1t is to be hoped that
Richie will be back in full force, as
the lightweight crop is extremely

Conference Today May Bring Base
ball Peace.

Late this afternoon there may be
developments in the negotiations be-
tween organized baseball and the
Feds which mean real news. Fans
have been fed long enough on proba->
bilities.
Garry Hermann is scheduled to
confer with President Weeghman of
the Chifeds on the proposition for the
third league magnate to purchase the
Cubs, consolidate the North and West
Side clubs and bring peace in the
baseball community.
At this time will also be taken up
the plan to consolidate the Feds with
organized clubs in every other city
where there is a conflict, providing
adequate compensation can be hand!
ed the so-called outlaws
One piece of news which caused
more stir that it should is to the
effect that Charley Murphy still holds
a $450,000 interest in the National
League team here. We class it as
news, but it is hardly that, as the fact
has been well recognized throughout
the past few months that Chubby
Charles was still heavily interested In
the West Sile team and had merely
masked his operations when he ap-
peared to have been ejectel from the
league.
Murphy will have to be dealt with,
which may complcate matters con-
siderably. Charles also controls half
of the Cub park. which is under long
lease to the club. He would not re-
linquish this lease without getting a
good bonus.
All of that is something the mag
mates can worry about. There will
be baseball again next year, just as
there has been for years past, and the
fan can see about the same brand of
ball by planking down the same old
coin at the box office.

comic table position. The athletes

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they ecannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ticn of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

who made a gallant record during
the Balkan war, will lead his battle
SCARED veterans against the Aus
TRANS.
ment, gravitation toward Germany,
bitter feeling against Russia. But the
blunders were personal blunders OF
bungling politicians. Russia has all
ways posed and often acted as the pa
iron, friend, and protector of the Slavs
everywhere, and especially OF the Bal
kan Slavs. It has had and still has
its eye on fits estate in reversion,"
Constantinople, and 1t cannot hope to
plant it's flag there without the consent
and support of the Balkan Slavs. It
is good "Pan-Slavism" to support Ser
via.
But in facing Austria, Russia con-
fronts not German power, but a pow
er that is itself largely Slav. Sla7
will thus be fighting Slav and the Ger
mans, whatever their colors, will be
fighting for Slavs and with other Slavs
and postponing the realization OF the
Pan-German ambitions and dreams.
Jealousy Great Factor.
Here, then. is a strange paradox.
but not the only paradox In situation
full of anomalies-anomalies insepara-
BILE from the very nature and complex
ion Of the Austro-H Hungarian empire.
an empire, to repeat, that has been
held together quite as much by the
jealousies and differences of outsiders
as by the dynastic and personal in
fuence of the Hapsburgs.
II Austria cannot and does not rep

Culture in this fight, what is 1t fighting
for? Pan-Servian agitation did not
endanger its existence, while the war
does. It's own Slaw elements at no

change it's rule for that Of the czar,
although they were not averse to u.s.
ing Pan-Slav slogans In order to secure
better representation and larger recog-
milton.
Danger to Dual Monarchy.
The opinion Of the soundest students
Of politics has long been that II Aus
triarHungary was to be preserved, only
a policy of peace, liberalism, greater
autonomy, and home rule. Cancellation
of the various races and elements by
reform measures, political and social
contained the promise OF such preser-
walton.
The war actually endangers the ex-
istence Of the dual monarchy, for aside
from the chances Of defeat and disas-
ter, there is the fact that the Slav sub
jects of the emperor cannot sympa-
thize with it. The separatist and par
ticularist tendencies feared by the
court and government can only be
deepened and strengthened by the con-
f1ict.
The army and navy may be loyal
and obedient, as many assert. The
army ana navy may be Austrian" II
the nation is not. But popular senti-
ment is a potent factor in war and
popular sentiment among the Austrian
and Hungarian Slavs does not favor
fratricidal strife.
No wonder the intelligent world is
puzzled and utterly at loss to ex-
plain Austria's course.
