The Orange Valley Athletic Asso-
citation, which was organized last
year, had q brief but stormy exist

equip, perpetuate and maintain the
baseball team of that title. To secure
these ends an organization was
formed, which conducted a reception
and dance. The dance over, and ap-
proximately $120 in the treasury.

many of it's members for lack of in

whether to continue or not, since it

the members, also those who were no

New York, May 2.-The mourn

today before the offices of the Stan
dard Oil Company at 26 Broadway.
Still fearful of possible violence
should he show himself to the crowds
about the big structure, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., remained in seclu-

Besides the march before 26 Broad

another tack when they appeared at

night. They presented the question

PITTSBURGH. Sept. 26.-on account

Result of His Increased
AvOirdupOis.

NEW YORK. Sept 2j.-Aocording. TO
reports from the west Willie Richie has
taken on a lot OF weight since he lost
the lightweight title and is likely to find
making even 1856 pounds a most difficult
matter in the near future As Welsh
declared he has changed the class limit
back TO the lSS-pound notch, favored by
Nelson and WolgRst, Ritohie seems to be
frozen out as a contender.
Welsh's stand regarding the weight at
witch no will defend the title is certain
to find little favor But in view of the
fact that both Nelson and Wolgast were
allowed to name their own figures, there
seems 10 be no reason why Welsh should
not enjoy the same privilege. How
ever, since both Johnny Dundee and
Charlie White, who threaten to cause
Welsh considerable trouble. both favor
the lighter mark. Welsh may finally de-
eide not to change the scale after all.
AS a matter OF fact. II Richie were
forced into the welterweight division It
would be a great deal more helpful to
boxing In general AS lightweight
Richie Is rather played out, but he would
be a shining star in the class above.
Ritchie would make a wonderfully popu-
lar welterweight champion. lie is still
young enough to fight his way through
