@ AN FRANCISCO, Feb. THE
y circumstances attending the
wearing down and building up
OF the Achilles tendon of Champion
Ritchie's left foot should serve as
rebuke to those who look upon ring
men as rough -fibered mortals who
take no care of physical injuries, and
who are simply stimulated to great
er effort by pain and punishment,
Willie hurt the portion of his anat
omy referred to by reckless road work
in Golden Gate Park. By the advice
of reputable physician he has cod
died the strained tendon for two
weeks or more.
A few days ago it was announced
that Richie was about TO submit his
strained heel to a preliminary test,
and that in the event of there being
no warning tinge when he stamped
his foot, the champion would begin
to busy himself with his spring
schedule.
So far the only thing we have had
in the way of glad tidings was
Ritchie's declaration Of intention in
regard to the test. We have not
learned whether the heel was tried
out, and whether ii stood the ordeal.
We are hungry for news and II is
not right to keep us in suspense. As
the office poet says
Fen MICA doc and Houston some
touch Of slight may feel
For the Western country holds its
breath uhile Willie tests his
heel
In the absence of assuring news in
respect to the Richie heel II is
gratifying to note that the cham
pion has refused a big offer, made
by Snowy" Baker, for an April match
in Australia. He knows that an ac-
ceptance would interfere with his
plans for meeting Tommy Murphy
in this city in April. This is a step
in the right direction.
Richie has been invaded" out of
two matches with Murphy, and he
recognizes the public expects him to
settle with the Harlem lightweight
before arranging fresh contracts.
There is some talk of Richie box
ing a limited bout in the East before
the Murphy date comes around. This
is scarcely in accordance with what
was heard from Richie when his heel
put him out of commission
1t was understood at that time that

Policeman to Answer
Charges for Chasing

Charges of conduct .uubecomlng an
officer are TO be pressed against Paul
- Pierson, patrolman of long ser
vice, whose beat is on Decatur street
the Board OF Police Commissioners
to hear the complaint at its regular
meeting Tuesday.
The complainant is w. C, Byers. a
law student, who asserts that a con-
ference between himself and a negro
client, Tom Jones. was broken up
the other night by the policeman, who
approached the pair, flashed his light
in their faces, demanded what they
were doing on the street at that hour,
and chased Jones off the beat.
Byers. states that his conference
with the negro, which was held after
midnight, was concerning a case in
the Recorders Court pending against
the negro. Pierson says he recognized
in Jones a crooked character Of the
class he had been ordered to keep
off his beat. He has not been sus-
pended.

When the eight club owners of the

Of next week the plan of battle will
be formulated. And as near as can
be learned now it will provide some
thing like this:
Every major league club which has

4 ton Charles w. Murphy is expect
ed to ask some Federal court to en-
! Join Ward Miller from playing with
the Federals. A the same time the
Il Sox will request that some action be
& taken to keep Ted Easterly from
hammerng any long drives over the
Ped fences. simultaneously will the
Philadelphia club arise in Its might
and demand that Otto Knabe be le-
gslly requested to refrain from ca
vorting on outlaw" territory.
To Ask lnjunctions.
simultaneously will Mr.. Josephus
4 mixer ne requested TO cease MS II Gu -
/ era activities. Temporary injunctions
/ will be asked for.
Then comes the big legal fight.
/ These injunctions win be asked for
upon the grounds that the men have
/ violated the reserve clause which is
ne foundation of the organization.
The organized forces will care moth
4 ing about a short and decisive fight,
1 Y they can keep the courts busy on
technicalities for several weeks or
months all the better For in that
part Of the game the major league
clubs figure they have it on their OPP
/ Donents
It's like this: The organized clubs
have a sufficient number Of men to
man their clubs and play their sched-
4 lle But should temporary injunc-
4 tons be obtained against the big
! eague players who leaped, then they
Will have to remain idle while the re-
4 quest for permanent injunction is

The annual spring meetings of the
