there is no disposition to secretive-

obtained on improved methods.
In the earlier years of this great
commonwealth, the lie OF the

 Cunningham and BIuethenthal. two former Princeton football stars, have been engaged to assist in coaching the University of North Carolina team next season.
 As soon as Russ Ford announced that Benny Kaun was a better hitter than Cobb or Speaker, Benny proved that he was only human by getting a solitary single for the Indianapolis Feds yesterday.
 Tommy Downey accepted Is chances in a double header against the Pitts burgh Feds yesterday. In the second game he got a double and single but didn't hit anything in the first battle.
 Pep Senno aroused the enthusiasm of the New London fans yesterday by making several fine catches. The Bridgeport outhe1der further distin- guished himself by getting a hit and stealing two bases
 Manager Boultes proved his batting eye is stln there by banging out a three base hit.
 Catcher George Crook of Bridge port, who went hit1ess Saturday and Sunday, came through with a single yesterday.

BIRDIE CREE N COMES BACK
 TO YANKEES

The New York Americans yester- day closed a deal with the Baltimore club of the international League whereby William F. C.Birdie'') Cree, for years the star outf1elder of the Yankees, returns to the New York Club. Cree was released to Baltt- more last winter and his general playing this season has been so good that several major league clubs have been angling for him. Owner Frank J. Farrell, however, had an option on Cree and he has exercised it The Baltimore club paid $2,500 for Cree and the Tanks paid $5.00o to get him back.
 Cree came to the Tanks from the Tri-State League in 1908 and up to the close of last season he was a reg ular outdelder on the club. In 1919 he was out of the game for a great part of the season with an injured wrist, and last year he failed to show anything like his o1d-tine form. This resulted in his release to Baltimore. Ou6helder Bill Holden, formerly of New London is released to the BaIti- more club as part Of the deal invo1v- ing Cree
 Cree will report to Manager Chance to-day or tomorrow and will resume his old position in left field.

RITCHIE IN TEARS AS HE
 LOSES TITLE

London, July s-F'reddy Welsh, We1shman, won the lightweight box ing eharnpfonship of the world at Olympia last night by defeating the American champion, Willie Ritchie, on points after their twenty y-round bout. It looked from the beginning as though Welsh was going to win on points. if he could avoid Ritchie's fa- nous punching.
 Thanks also to his extraordinary lightness of foot the Briton escaped several vicious blows which might have done the trick. One point which counted against Ritchie was his habit Of holding in the clinches, which is contrary to English ideas, and this probably counted considerably with the referee.
 Ritchie got an enthusiastic reception on stepping into the ring so he can not complain of any racial bias shown in favor of his opponent. A big con- -tingent of Americans present cheered their countrynaa.n. If reports are true many of them have lost heavily over the defeat. One big American sports man accepted 1850 to E40o that Ritchie would win.
 It was a. finS exhibition of boxing throughout. Neither man went to the floor, and the struggle during the last six rounds was of a. hurricane char 'acter. Welsh was the. quicker man and tapped Ritchte repeatedly on the face finally drawing, blood. The American boxer tried continually for a knockout, but he was short, or Welsh got inside or under the swing.
 Rftchie broke down when he lost the decision and was in tears when seen in his dressing room He refused to talk then, but later, at the hotel where he is stopping, he said:
 "I do not intend to make a holIer, but do think the worst should have got was a draw. Welsh was holding all the time and was doing the fighting. Therefore I think the decision was not fair to me-
 Ritchie hurt his right hand in the bout, but otherwise was not much damaged except for a few bruises on the face.

 Secretary Stsvens of the Cincinnati Club was here Monday and closed the deal. The price paid for the two men by the Cincinnati team is said to be about $15, 900. Both have been hitting in the 300 class, and have been play ing great ball in the field. They arc to- report to Manager Herzos on aglri@ day.
 Dunn's refusal to confirm the sala is due to the fact that the formalttfes required by the rules have not yet been compiled with. Under the rule in order to complete the sale the sig nature of the player must be placed on a contract. The majority of the Orioles are signed to two-year con tracts. Dunn says he does not think any of the players will refuse to aign either with a National or Amertcan League team.
 Comiskey recently offered SGo,0OO for six of the Orioles.

ANNIVERSARY OF "TOAn /CRIBB WHO HELD
 TITLE IS YEARS

In the cemetery at WooIwlch, Eng- land, the "tripper'' may see a magui~ f1cent monument representing a gigan- tic British lion grievingi over the sre- mains of dead hero. The colossal femoriaIs weighing twenty tons, Is the
 most imposing in the cemetery, ana the ''tripper'' would probably conclude that it marked the last resting plare of one of England's greatest warriors A perusaI of the inscription would sus- tain his guess, for it reads:
 Sacred to the memory of Thomas Crilbb, born July 9th, 17s1, died May 11th. 1S4S." A tablet asks the reader to Respect the ashes of the brave"
 Today marks the 133rd annfversary of the birth, at Hanham, in GIcucee- tershire, of the hero who has thus been honored. Tom Cribb was cham pion of England for fifteen years ana retired from the ring undefeated--s. record that has never been equaIled by any other champion before or since. He was the hero of a. dozen terrific bare-knuck1e battles, and only once tasted defeat, and that when he was a novice at the game. His first vic- tories were scored over George Mad dox, Tom Blake and Ikey Pig, the latter a a@pioneer Jewish boxer. He was defeated by George NtchoilR but fn 1907 he whipped lem Belcher. the old champion, and claimed the title
 After defeating George Horton and fighting a draw with Bob Gressous Crbbh again adrninistered a defeat to Belcher. After that he could get no man to meet hsm. until Tom Moli- neaux, a big Virginia. negro, arrived in London and challenged Cribb to ihslttle for the worlds title The dinge had been a, slave, but had won. hfs fresdom by whipping another black man in America. Iolineaux easily defeated several good English boxers. and the sports Of London feared he would make good his boast of being the best fighter in the world
 As matter of fact, he vvlaarued Cribbs but in a row which 9olIo4ved Crtbb was permitted to recover ana continue the bout. The black was un- accustomed to cold weather, and in the end he succumbed to the English climate. rather than to Cribb- Dissi- patton ruined the first American con tender for the title. and in a second bout Crfbb won easily. Cr1bb held the title eleven years more without hay ing to fight. and retired in 1922. CrTbb was the hero of George Borrow'a novel;, 'Lavengro," and of a, dramatic sketch, long popular, called .fEom Cribb's Parlor."

The Bolts were full of pepper and made New London look pretty slow.
 Dick Tuckey had the sign on Mc- Cams crowd as usual This is the third game he has won from the Planters in three weeks. The Union City kid yielded only three hits one of which was a triple by Chet Waite. His slow curves had the Planters pop ping up, as the outnelder9 2 putouts indicate. Tuckey did not fan anybody and gave but one pass
 Ernie, Greenwell, who bothered Bridgeport considerably when he was with Sbring1ield in 1911, was trotted out by McCann, evidently with the idea that southpaws bother the Bolts They proceeded to comb Greenweu for fonr hits and four runs in the second and Greenweu was yanked in favor of Green The Bolts managed to get six runs while Green worked although they got only five hits. Four passes and four errors helped.
 Bob Stow, who has been in a bat ting slump, emerged in time to get three singles Tuckey also produced a couple of timely pokes The Bolts stole four bases on Catcher Hide brand and even the biased Planter rooters admitted that was considerable speed. The score:
