The American forced the fighting all through the round. Welsh slowing up considerably. It was good round all in favor of Ritchfe
 Round 14AThe American got in a short hot left to the body. Later he repeated with the right. The fighting was fast and fierce to the end of the round. This. like the preceding, was Ritchfe's round.
 Round 15-The first half of the round was a hugging match with both men working hard in the ciinches Welsh trying to wear his opponent
 down. There were a couple of rallies but no damage was done. The round was even.
 Round 16-There was more might I ing, each receiving a good tap on the face. The Welshman ducked a terri l fic right handler. The fight continued a fine exhibition of boxing by Welsh, who played entirely for the face. while

NEW WHITE HOPE
 AFTER JoHNsoN's SCALP
Jess Willard Proclaimed as Real Hope-Intends to Visit England and France.

It seems to be the unanimous opin- ion of the experienced fighting men that Jess Willard is the man best qualified to win the worlds heavy weight championship from Jack John son. They say that a boxer who is bigger, heavier and stronger than the negro will have a chance and in these respects Willard is Johnson's superior.
 Willard is 27 years old. nine years younger than LiP Arthur. The big cowboy is feet s inches tall. weighs 23O pounds and has a reach of S3 1-2 inches./ He is five inches taller and IS pounds heavier tha Johnson, while his reach is nearly ten inches longer. Willard's only defeat was at the hands of Gunboat Smith, who received a queer decision on points at the end of 40 rounds on the coast a year ago last month
 Smith has declined all of Wi1lard's challenges since that affair, in which the cattler's only fault was a lack of aggressiveness- Willard is wonder fully strong and is terrific right handed puncher. He intends to visit England and France in the fall to press his claim to a match with the champion.

He was watching one of the other pitchers working. Swan was f5 feet to the west Another one slipped and it ripped its way through chairs, boards and other things within a few inches of Tinker's head.
 That was enough. Swan was ordered to do most of his pitching in the open and aim in any direction. just so 1t was opposite the players.
 Swan had a camera and he trained with this daily. It was good for the eye, he believed. He would never go to the diamond without his trusty kodak. Tinker called him one day. but Harry just laughed and then took a general view from the grandstand. Zetder threw a ball at him while he was get ting the focus and Swan thought it was foul. It missed the camera by about foot.
 All the training season Swan tried to get control of the ball. He had more speed than Hendrix, but his direction was nil Once in a long time Tinker would send him in to pitch to the bat ters. He was so wild that the batters caught cold standing at the plate wait ing for him to get one near enough for them to reach for it. Just about the time Harry was finding the plate he would shoot one at the head, and the batter would miss his turn. and Lalge ! or Mcclure or Black or some of the | others would relieve the strikeout king.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ACTIVE IN FINAL HOUR. Gains in Eastern Railroad Shares Closed Quiet Day in Market.

New York, July 7.-Trading in stocks today was without definite trend until the final hour, when the list was lift ed out of it's early lethargy to the ac- compartment of considerable activity Gains of one to two points occmurred in that brief period, chiefly in the shares of the eastern railroads, which gave rise to renewed ruulors of an early announcement in the pending freight rate case
 For the greater part of the session the price movement was irregular on a minimum of dealings Specialties were again conspicuous by their un- explained gains of to points and the Gould shares were active at mark ed recessions, Missouri Pacific losing two points and the collateral bonds five. The sharp decline in these se- posed financial readjustment of the Missouri Pacific system which is as- stunned to involve severe scaling down of existing issues. Rock Island securities. including the collateral bonds and preferred and common shares, established new low prices.
 Among the speciaities which added tr recent gains were Mexican Petro- leum, Studebaker common and prefer red, United States Express, Central Leather preferred and General Motors. United Drygoods preferred recovered almost four polnts on the pefpenolcu- lar decline which preceded and follow ed the Clafin failure
 General news of the days, aside from the apparent success of the new French loan, was not helpful. to the constructive side. Some additional ad- verse railway reports for May were announced. including that of the Great Northern system, with a net loss ap- proximating s1.060.000 Indication o1 further delay in the makeup of the federal reserve board and the indeh mite closing Of a large steel plsS2t in Maryland were among the factors which made for pause.

MIDDLEWEIeHT TITLE WILL
 SOON BE CLEARED UP
Chip is Line For Battle With clabby- carpentier MiddIeweisht Champ of France Has Been Challenger.

The results of the two big middle weight battles on the Fourth have done much to clear up the situation. Eddie McGoorty by losing to Jimmy Clabby for the third time has been eliminated as a factor. As a matter of fact there has never been any req son to believe that the man from Osh- kosh was a genuine middleweight, as he seldom showed good form at the 15S-pound limit.
 As expected, George Chip made short work of Billy Murray and his championship pretentions. Chips vic tory puts him very much in the run ming again, as it proves that Mccoy one-punch knockout was merely one of those strange accidents that are bound to happen occasionally.
 Chip is now in line for battle with Clabby and the winner of that fight will come pretty close to being the

 gusty wind and a slippery court made T. M. Mavrogordato, the English man, and P. De Bornan, the Belgian captain, who opened the play. very cautious. De Borman lobbed well, but his unusual top spin drive made little impression on his hard hitting oppo- nent.
 MRvrogordato took no chances with the wind. Coming to the net at every opportunity, he scored many aces with beautiful cross volleys and won the match in three straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, S-6.

 real champion. From what has been seen of Chip he will have to bow to Clabby, who appears to be too fast and clevver for the slow-footed but hard hitting miner.
 If Clabby does beat Chip he will then have no one to worry about ex- cept Mike Gibbons. Gibbons has been holding off fro mthe dispute for the title, t there uare many who believe that the St. Paul phantom is the class of them all. If Gibbons would only show a little more ambition and con- fidence in himself he would be the logical choice to head the division, as there is no doubt that he at least looks more like a champion than any of those who lay claim to the honors.
 George Carpenter, middleweight champion of France, was cabled an offer of s2o, 1000 to meet Jimmy Clabby of Hammond, Ind, claimant of the rniddleweight championship of the world The offer was made by pro- moters ofe the stadium at Sydneyy. N. S. w.
