Six days previously Savers had fought his memorable battle with John C. Heen- an, the big Irish American. and only official interference had saved him from defeat. Savers annexed the ti- tie by whipping Bill Perry, known as the Tipton s1asher," in 1857, in 9 battle that lasted 1 hour and 2 min utes He defended it successfully uri- til he met the Irish American dread naugf1t, but the result Of that encoun- ter so discouraged Savers that he de- cided to quit the game. Sam Hurst and Tom Paddock fought for the va cated title a little later, the former winning an less than 10 minutes.

WARBOP GIVEN WRE CHED SUPPORT
 AND TANKS LOSE

1t was not the fault Of little Jack Warhop thai the New York High flanders lost the final and odd game Of the series to Clarke Griffith Sena- tors at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon by the count Of to I. sToots. who is endeavorfng to do a come back, pitched as beautifuI game and was deserving of a shut-out. but his comrades thought differently and made the boys from the capital a present of the game. Both of the runs scored by the Senators were the re- suit Of errors.
 s It was thought that Warhop was all in when the campaign closed last year, but Jack reported to Chance in Texas in fine shape and yesterday the Peer less Leader gave him an opportunity to show that his arm is all right again. @
 Warhop proved in yesterdays con test that his underhand delivery is just as puzz1ing as ever, but not even Walter Johnson can win games when the other players make errors Behind him, especially when the errors are made with men on bases. Jack held the Senators to five hits and these were scattered over as many innings.

RrTCHIE GREATEST
 MONEYMAKEB OF ALL
 LIGHTWEIGHT BOXERS

It pays to be a champion fighter in these enlightened days of nod ecision bouths. In particular it pays to be the king pin lightweight. For some mex p1icib1e reason the lightweight rit1e- holder always has an earning capacity far in excess of the heads Of other divisions with the exception of the heavyweight champion.
 As the latter is champion of all champions the reason is plain why he tops the lesser lights; but why the leading 135-pounder should be a greater attraction than those below and above him in weight is one of the mysteries of pugi1isna. Yet this has all ways been so from the time of McAu- life to Ritchie. the present chief of that division.
 Taking the lightweight champions in their order it can be seen that each has done better than his pre- decessor in the matter of earning mon

cyl And this has been totally ir- respective of their comparative ability as fighters. For instance, McAu1iffe although rated by many as the great- est Of all 1ightweightz, had to be con tent with sonnethinE like $20,eoo.
 Lavigne came next with about the same amount Erne made close to $65. 900 during the three years he was supreme Then came Cans. who was the first real big money maker, with s25o, ,0eo. Nelson topped this by s5e.- 900, and then Wolgast pushed the mark up to $400, GOO. And now Ritchie with four 1ghts has made $50, GOO in pursues and an equal amount from the stage and moving pictures. And Ritchie has Just begun. 6
 If Ritchie goes through with the bouts on his schedule he will have earned $50, 900 this year alone. In the ordinary course of events he should last for another five yours, and in that time what with purses and theatrical earnings his fortune should be close to half 8 million dollars.

After piking along as hftIess won de1s for two weeks. the Bridgeport players un1ossded cargo of base .Ilits yesterday and sr1othered the Harvey Hubbe1ls of the Industrial league by 8 to g. The Eastern association pas timers leaned against WhaIen for Is safeties. Bob Stow got three and Manager Boultes had a triple and two singles. Lefty Gervais also showed he can do something besides pitch. He beat out q perfect bunt in the second and laced a single to right in the fourth.
 The professionals ran wild on the bases against the IIdustriaI league boys. Delayed steals and the hit and run were worked frequently. Twelve stolen bases were eha1ked up by Bou1tes, hired men. The Hubbe1l play CTS were steady in the field but didn't display the batting power Of the pro- fessfonalB.
 Bridgeport looked strong except at first bese ana left field and these weak spots will be bolstered before the league season opens Gene Cronin played snappy ball at second in addi- ton to sneeting the ball hard. George Crook went through the game as back stop and handIed himself well. He knows the game and 1t will be hard to disIodge him from the job Of see- ond catcher.
 Gervafs started to-pitch for Bridge port He labored i've innings and during that time allowed two runs and three hits He used q slow bali most Of the time in order to gain control of that delivery. Sherman succeeded I1uBbells. He gave two safeties and no runs.
