R|TCH|E GETS
BUMP ON NOSE
IN CAMP BOUT
Lightweight Presents Cory Spec
tacIe After Scrap in Chicago
Gymnasium
By Sol Pick.

~ HICAGo, March willie
I Richie looked better than ever
in his training camp bouts
with Willie Schaefer and Eddie Tan
eel yesterday at O'Connell's. That ia,
he did to those kho know the boxing
game. But to others, persons who
paid their two bits to run into the
gym and get glimpse of a real
worlds champion, the Californian was
Inundated, even disgraced. This is
why they thought so:
In the second round of the muss
with Schaefer, Ritchie missed sharp
left hook to the chin. The glove slid
past the Schaefer face and left Richie
wide open for right handler to the
head or body. Shaefer nailed the
champ squarely on the nose with his
right and brought the blood in a
stream. People who did not know
that champions bleed as easily as
challengers were shocked. They
thought Schaefer had shown up the
king pin of the lightweights. But
not So Richie was not hurt. He has
had bloody noses before and plenty
Of them. It takes many hard knock
to get to the top, you know. Schaefer

that, and Richie knew then how it
will feel If Wolgast shoots his left
hand to the same spot the evening
of the 18th
Richie boxed in splendid form with
Schaefer, giving the Chicagoan some
thing OF a cutting. Then he took on
Tancel, who mills In the boring in
Wolgast style. Ritchie showed he was
there at that stuff, too. In fact, he's
an all-round scrapper, as a cham
pion should be.
Il am getting mighty close to the
weight" said Richie, after the work
out. You know we are to do 1876
pounds at 6. Well, | only scale 1888
row, and have several DAYS left in
which to train. The champion viii
be in great shape to trim the Dutch
man."
A wire from Milwaukee said that
Wolgast put in busy day at Mer-
genroth's. The German thinks he is
going to beat Richie and, as Frank
Mulkern says: when Wolgast thinks
he can win he generally does win"
This meeting of the champion and
the ex-champion should be Som e
scrap.

Bic REHEARSAL
BRINGS OUT Il
NEW CRACKERS
Four Members Of "0Id Guard"
Also Take Part in Fast Aft
ernoon Practice.
By O. b. Keller.

! T ~tFTEEN Crackers, plus Billy
II Smith, held dress rehearsal
out at the ball park yesterday
and got away in fine STYLE although
there may be some creaking Joints in
camp to-day.
But they did have a good time Ct
it-and a good, stin work out al
though time was called for more than
half an hour to give the sun another
chance to wallop some weeping
clouds that threatened to dampen the
festivities.
MCCONNELL and Schwind and
Az Kircher, of the new hands, and
Tommy Long and Nixon and Manush
and Price, of the old guard--and the
brothers Walsh, and Perryman and
Doescher and Lawrence and Lynch
just in from Oakland, Cal (and hot
even in spangles) and Munich and
Amason and Browning a squad
it was, and they went to it with a
will.
Sore arms to-day-what?
M ELL take another chance on ex-
panding Schwind's hat and re-
mark that il NJ. Jennings desires the
job of shortstopping on the atlanta
ball club this year he would better
bob up and hop around a trlfe. Judg-
ing by Mr.. Schwind's recent practice
demonstrations, he will have to hit
only about 1858 to get a job. And we
might knock a couple OF points off
even that modest figure.
Andy Mcconnell whirled in aud
took as hard and peppery a work ont
as If he had been a busher coming up
for his first trial in fast company in
stead OF a veteran OF known ability.
Andy hadn't iuggled a ball in over
four months, and admitted the same
looked as big as a balloon in the field
and as small as a hickory nut at bat
But he fielded with dash and style.
and he cracked out line drives and
laid down hunts the perfection of
which caused the select audience IN
the stands to raise their eyebrows.
ANDY and Schwind made a fine
- looking pair around second base,
being well-mated in size. speed and
pep, with the fire and dash of the
kids work making an interesting
combination with the finished style
Of the big league veteran.
\, B.-We rather expect to see
more OF this pair working together.
A FEW more notes.
a This Munich has a fine arm
and handles himself very much like
catcher. query: How does he hit?
Answer. Pretty we'll, in practice.
The Walsh brothers will make some
minor league manager happy this sea-
son. They are not quite ripe COR
Glass A, maybe, but they look good.
Same goes for Amason. A year of
seasoning ought TO make this big hoy
into a large caliber first baseman
Frank Manush looks very handy at
third base.
G. Price makes a startling outheld-
er.

some other automatic method When
runners start right at the elbows Of

enough to get the start either by
sound or sight. Even when they
start on the opposite side of a quar-
ter-mile track the distance is not so
great but what the fash of the

to rely upon getting the flash by eye

New Rule
on Counting
Points.

of the field and track events good
for points in place Of 8, as hereto
fore. Third place is given points
henceforth, fourth place and fifth
place /. Thus the total number Of
points that each event will count is
Is, whereas formerly the total was
but II.
1t is difficult to say as yet how this
change will affect the prospects of
the various college track teams for
the coming meet. OF course, the
change win not affect in the slight
est the number of points each col
lege is counting on tallying as the
result of any Of their men winning
a first in any event; but you can
count on it that they are all going
to look mighty sharply from this on
to the proper shaping up of their
second, third, fourth and fifth string
stuff, for it is all too likely that, as
between Pennsylvania, Harvard and
Cornell at least, the meet is likely
to go to that team which corrals the
greatest number OF points from
places after the first position in the
various events.
This award of additional points is
also going to make the athletes
themselves work harder for there is
now more chance of scoring some
thing at least in any given event.
But there really should be more
OF distinction between a first and
"a second in any track event than is
indicated by the figures five and
four. II the other places are re.
spectively worth four, three, two and
one, then, beyond all argument, first
place is worth at least six. | ven

we will some day find the rule.

DR.. Wheeler, in order to get a
considerable portion of the ne
gro vote must assure the negroes
that they may stop in Auburn

These are the demands now cur

Now, the truth about the
matter, on investigation, we
find to be this: That the above
charge or apparent charge, is
without foundation in fact; that
DR.. Wheeler is, and always has
been, very broad and fair on
the race question; that colored
people have lived in Auburn and
were employed by DR.. Wheeler
and that DR.. Wheeler is the only
man who did employ colored
people at Auburn. By his past
