CESAR MORETTl
Willie Richie at the Olympia, Lon
don, 20 rounds. on points.
The baseball situation in Baltimore
is so dubious that no one down there
seems TO know where he is at. The
story goes that Jack Dunn has sold
some of his best players, but from
other sources this is denied The
truth is. Dunn is not stuck on re-
naming in Baltimore and losing any
more money. There isn't chance in
a thousand for him to pull through
tho way things are. and he will be
using good sense If he gets out with
as much as he possibly can. The
Buffalo owners showed the white
feather at the first sign of fight. but
ii is said that they have been Sc
cured and protected since by the
national commission 1t was also
said that Dunn had been assured of
support by the commission, but this
doesn't appear to be a fact. AT worst,
the national commission should stick
to and protect the minor leagues.
The members might discover their
mistake when it is too late. The hope
of success for organized baseball lies
in the fact that the minors are stick
ing to the ship. Let the minors join
hands with the Feds and the "regu-
lars" will be beaten. The commission
fshould beware lest the case of Dunn
be its undoing.

The interest of the bike fans in
the meet at the Velodrome tonight
will centre in the outcome of the
half-mile professional championship
and the match race in which Cesar
Moretti, the Italian, and Alfred
Grenda, the Australian, will be com
petitors. The championship is sure
to produce some great race, for of
the numerous stars at the track only
four of them will be able to get in
the final Who the lucky ones will
be it is hard to tell, but, barring ac-
cidents, Kramer and Rutt should be
two of the four. Goullet, too, seems
to be riding so well that it will be a
difficult matter to keep him out of the
final, and Clark will probably make
up the field of four. OF course. much
will depend on how the men draw in
tba cauoi- fi1sa Is, II oil tho bier faIIou,s
happen to get into the same heat
only two of them can come through
as qualifers, and this will allow two
of the small fry to make showing
Kramer is keen on winning the race
tonight and securing a good lead for
the title He has had rest at AS
bury Park and he is somewhat re-
freshed At a half-mile he should be
at his best, but he will have to ride a
great race to beat Goullet and Rutt
if these fellows get into the final
G
Great things are expected of Mo-
retti in his match with Grenda. 1t
is believed that he will show his
speed for the first time since his ar
rival here He has trained hard and
seems to be thoroughly satisfied with
his condition. He has been enter
tanned a lot. but he has been careful
not to overindulge. His future
matches will depend on how he races
against Grenda II he beats the
Tall Tasmanian" decisively, the
italian will earn the distinction of a
match with Champion Kramer But
to beat Grenda is no easy task The
big Australian has upset many a
promising bird, and he is not over
looking any bets in his match to-
night To win, Moretti will have
to have a lot of speed, for Grenda
win be on his way a full Zap to go
and the Italian is sure to have some
chase If he is unable to jump Grenda
after the Australian has once set sail
for home.

The Italian colony will be out in
force tonight to cheer Moretti on to
victory and the regular fans are sure
to be out strong to see the champion
ship event. This championship should
develop two or three good match
races, as the semi-fnals are bound TO
have the eight classiest men at the
track as starters. Moretti is the IA
vorite over Grenda in the match, and
the racing as whole promises to
furnish an evening of enjoyable sport.
1t is doubtful if the Belgian cycling
promoters viii ever be able to lure
any of the American Hoys to race in
their country again. Those who have
raced there complain Of the treat
ment accorded them and those who
