His Talk This Week

One of the special treats connected
with the visit OF the big league ball
players to Honolulu was the oppor-
tunity enjoyed by many TO hear the
men talk about their baseball expert
ences. John Henry was among the
most generous in this regard and his
talk before the Y. NJ. c. A. employed
boys early in the week was full Of
big league stories.
Henry told about the three most
picturesque managers OF the Ameri.
can League In very entertaining
manner. He declared his own man.
ager, Clark Griffith of Washington,
to be the best manager he had ever
known from the players standpoint.
Griffith will do anything in his power
for the man who plays ball for him.
Griffith has put Washington on the

crack at Freddie Welsh in an effort
to regain the lightweight championship
of the world, writes Harry B. Smith
in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Doubtless because of several months
Of inactivity, the impression has gone
forth that the American champion was,
about ready to retire from the active
pursuit Of honors and money In the
fistic game. The word has gone around
that Richie is looking for an oppor-
tunity to interest himself in some bust
ness project which has strengthened
the feeling of his retirement from ath-
letic life. ~
Richie says it's all wrong.
He adds tina: ne is more determined
than ever to stay with the boxing
game and is possessed of the idea that
he can regain the title that was lost
! to America in England last July.
Il haven't retired from boxing, he
said, "and have no intention of quit
ting. It's true that the lid has been
