possible, as his candidate for the Ii

scale around $50 pounds any time.
As far as we can see, Lichtenstein
is justified in alleging that the legit-
mate limit is 1913 pounds at the ring
side. II Clabby gets a clear claim
to the title, he can name that as the
proper poundage and evade all tbs

$4,000 OFFER
NOT TEMP TING
TOTYRUSCOBB
Chicago Magnate Could Give the
Georgia Peach $4,000 Per
Season and Make Money,
By Left Hook.

HARLES WEEGHMAN, preSl-
dent of the Chicago Federal
League club, seems to have
''Merkled" a bit by offering Ty Cobb
three-year contract with paltry
$4,000 a year salary attached.
If Cobb is available, Weeghman
could have offered the dashing Geor-
gian salary of $4,000 a year-and
more-and made money in the ven
ture. Ty Cobb today, and for many
years 10 come, win bold first place
as a baseball drawing card, and with
him on one or another Of its rosters
at the beginning of the 1919 season
the Federal League would be MADE
capitals all the way.
But Weeghman the same person
who is going to pay Joe Tinker $12,
600 a year slipped a large number OF
cogs by Offering Cobb mere $4,000
Just how many times more valuable
cobb is as both player and drawing
card than Tinker is a much debated
question hut the consensus of opinion
is that Tinker can not he placed In
the same class as the peerless Tiger
outfielder
TY. it may be remarked, is just
1 about as temperamental as prima
donna Weeghman seems to have
overlooked that fact Also he over
looked the fact that Tyrus Is pos
sessed of a little vanity that he likes
70 have tckled every so often, the
best ticker getting the best results.
Weeghman, quite Internationally,
perhaps, has insulted Cobb. Tyrus
thinks-and he has a perfect right to
that he's one of the very best little
ball players that ever ran amuck In a
uniform Theps are mighty few per-
sons who will disagree with Cobb
Well, thinking thusly, how do you
suppose he felt when he perused
that telegram which offered him a
mere $4,000 year wages, and which
was signed by the very same man
who is going TO pay Joe Tinker s12,-
600?
I Asst year Cobb drew down some
L. thing like Sl2.500 in straight sal
airy, and with the bonuses he got his
baseball labors for the year Melted
him $4,000. Tinker during the same
period drew down only $500 for the
than half of what Cobb got.
And now along comes Weeghman,
thinking he's slipping Ty a boost in
pay and also a nice compliment and
offers Ty practically just the same
money he got last year and only So
600 more than he's going to pay a
man who got only half as much as
Ty did in 1913, and a man whose
value to a team is perhaps only a
fourth that of Cobb.
Vas list los nit dir, Weeghman?
COBB, we believe, II approached
~ with a large bank roll, might be
lured to the Federal camp, despite
his assertion some two months ago
that he was content to remain with
the Tigers for the rest OF his days.
Ty, so the story goes, never has been
very happy in his Tiger uniform, and
often has yearned to cavort in pas
lures new.
Cobb would be a greater help to
the Federals' cause than any dozen
ordinary ball players the Federals
could grab from the ranks of organ
lied baseball.

That is the paramount issue in the
Union association today and may be
for some days to come. Whether or
not the league should attempt to
weather the season with six clubs and
take the chance of blowing or cut 1t
down to four now and be sure of fiji
ishing is an issue to the league the
clubs and to fans over the circuit. If
four, the clubs will be Boise Salt Lake,
Rutte and Ogden.
NJ R. Evans, president and owner of
the Boise club; w. D. Brown, vice
president of the Ogden club, and
George o. Relf. president of the Salt
Lake club have wired President Muir

RECORDS MADE BY
THE LEAGUE CLUBS

Boise finished the first half Of the
Union association schedule in fifth
place at bat. the same position it held
in the percentage on games won and
lost and fourth place in club fielding
according to unofficial figures, which
the official figures. it is believed, will
verify. Ogden led the league in the
stick department and Salt Lake in
fielding. The six high batters Of the
league were Huelsman, Salt Lake .445;
Jones, ogden. $40; Risberg, ogden,
1854; Seabough, ogden, 1852; Carman.
Murray, .361 Thornton, Murray. .342

of Hippo Huelsman of Salt Lake is one
Of the wonders of the league. II he

HIS TITLE after
A CLEVER FIGHT
Fred Welsh Given Decision
Over the Champion Light
weight-Fine Exhibition
of the Boxing Art.

London July Sired Welsh, light
weight champion of England, last
night outboxed Willie Richie, the
American champion and on the ref
eree's decision won the lightweight
championship Of the world. The fight
took place at Olympia and the 5000
spectators witnessed a fast and clever
bout. Rapid footwork and a. good deal
of infghting were pronounced features.
The British victory was cheered to the
echo. although there was some dis
satisfaction among the American spec
tators at the decision, because neither
man was bested at the finish. AL
though Welsh scored the greater num-
Der of blows those of the American
appeared to be the more telling.
1t was a fine 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 and
tapped Richie repeatedly on the face
finally drawing blood. The American
tried continually for a knockout but
either he was short or Welsh got inside
or under the swing
Richie broke down when the decis-
ion was given against him and was in
tears when he went to his dressing
room.
Thinks Decision Not Fair.
He refused to talk then, but later. at
his hotel, said;
"I do not intend to make a boiler,
but do think the worst I should have
gotten was a draw. Welsh was hold
ing all the time and 1 was doing the
fighting Therefore. think the decis-
ion was not fair to me"
Richie hurt his right hand in the
bout, but otherwise was not much
damaged. except for a few bruises on
the face.
All the old timers are agreed that
the contest was one of the fastest and
finest exhibition Of boxing witnessed in
London in RECENT years. Some OF them
expressed the opinion that Richie
would have come out on top in a finish
fight. The Welshmans footworl1- and

Americans and he preferred much of
the time to get to close quarters, where
Richie could not use his powerful
swings. There was altogether too
much holding throughout to please the
English spectators.

During the last four rounds Richie
forced the fighting hard for a knock
