q AN FRANCISCO, Feb. THE
y circumstances attending the
wearing down and building up
of the Achilles tendon of Champion
Ritchie's left foot should serve as a
rebuke to those who look upon ring
men as rough fibered mortals who
take no care of physical injuries, and
| who are simply stimulated to great
er effort by pain and punishment.
Willie hurt the portion of his anat-
| omy referred to by reckless road work
in Golden Gate Park. By the advice
of a reputable physician he has cod
died the strained tendon for two
weeks or more.
A few days ago it was announced
that Richie was about to submit his
strained heel to preliminary test,
and that in the event of there being
no warning tinge when he stamped
his foot, the champion would begin
to busy himself with his spring
schedule.
So far the only thing we have had
In the way of glad tidings was
Ritchies declaration of intention in
regard to the test We have not
learned whether the heel was tried
out and whether it stood the ordeal
We are hungry for news, and 1t is
not right to keep us in suspense. As
the office poet says:
Fen McAdoo and Houston some
touch Of slight mag feel
For the Western country holds fts
breath lChile Willie tests has
heel
In the absence of assuring news in
respect to the Richie heel, it is
gratifying to note that the cham
pion has refused a big offer, made
by Snowy Baker, for an April match
in Australia He knows that an ac-
ceptance would interfere with his
plans for meeting Tommy Murphy
in this city in April This is a step
in the right direction.
Richie has been invalided" out of
two matches with Murphy, and he
recognizes the public expects him to
settle with the Harlem lightweight
before arranging fresh contracts.
There is some talk of Richie box
ing a limited bout in the East before
the Murphy date comes around. This
is scarcely in accordance with what
was heard from Richie when his heel
put him out of commiNion
1t was understood at that time that
the Murphy affair would have the
precedence over all contests so far as
the champion is concerned.
When all the circumstances are
considered, Richie can hardly be
looked upon as making much of a
sacrifice by holding himself In re-
| serve for his tilt with Murphy.
It is said that among other offers

Cole declared yesterday he was will
ing to corroborate every statement Of
his letter under oath. He insinuated
also that through signing with the
Chicago Federals and under agree
ment to play in the Windy city. these
promoters intended to shunt him Off
to st. Louis. against which town he
had a decided aversion. 1t Is claimed
by friends of organized ball that Kill
ltfer, of the PhilIes. and Kirkpat-
rick, of the Dodgers, had experiences
quite similar TO those OF Cole. A
somewhat strange and significant
circumstance, however, is the fact
that since Farrell notified Gilmore of
his acceptance Of Coles terms the
King" has never been bullefned as
Federal League property.

here is bound to develop some sort Of
Showdown" The attitude of the
Federal Lees que in the meantime may
shape the ultimate action. Ban John
sons policy will find the hearty in
dorsement of the American League.

those players who showed disrespect

Asked what the F>raternity's at

MACON, Feb. Using Leach
Cross tactics, Mike Saul last night
stopped Eddie Ball with a hard left
hand wa.lop to the jaw. In the third
session, after Ball had been going
good for two rounds, Mike stalled
around the ring as II hurt. Ball, a
youngster in the game, rushed after
Mike, who was simply waiting for
this move. As a result Ball lowered
his guard and Mike let fly that old
reliable left. and Ball hit the canvas
for the ten count.
