BOXING NOTES

/
 All the talk being sent broadcast by the trainers and others who were with Willie Ritchie when he met Charlie White before the sQueensbury A. c. Of
 Milwaukee, May 26th, to the effect that Willie was sick boy; that he had a raging fever and should never have been permitted to enter the ring sounds childish and is going to do the champion more harm than good Ritchie was not i'll. nor was he lack ing in eondition. He was examined by. the clubs physician. Dr. Morter. who pronounced him perfect. Dr.. Morter is a member of the boxing commission and ma turaHy< he would not tolerate any such business if Kit chic happened to be i'll. I was with Rftchie before the contest and he aP- peared to be in the best of health and full of confidence. If the trainers and managers would leave him alone and not try to offer excuses he would be much better off The fact is Willie was a bit careless in the first round and bumped sintosta hard one to the jaw, which might happen. to any cham pion,. and as a result he came near taking the count. To his credit it must be admitted that he showed his real worth after that by recuperatfng fast and putting up a rema rlzab fight against a.big handicap. It prov ed that he was a real champion, with the grit and stamina to back it up and also plenty of courage. Charlie White too, deserves all the praise he is get ting, for he put up a wonderful fight and is well entitled to a. chance at the championship.

HUGHEY JENNINGS 24 YEARS
 IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

That distinguished barrister and baseball pilot, Hughey Jennings, man lager of the Detroit Tigers. made his debut on the professional diamond tWenty-four years ago today, June 16. 18S0,A at Allentown, Pa. Hughev was born in the little mining town of Moosie, Pa, near Scranton. He came of 2 fine family, but poor in worldly goods, and Hughey had to go out and dig fora living in the mines. s
 After toiling in the nfce damp earth all day he attended school in Scranton at night He was fond of baseball from shis toddIins youth, and in 1890 he was given a chance as outf1elder with the Allentown club of the Eastern Interstate League. In his first pro- fesstona1 pastime he covered the right garden, but he didn't pull off any thing sensational One hit in four tunes at bat was the best he could do.
 After that Jennings played with sew sera1t other Pennsylvania clubs, and it was not until 1892 that he got a chance to show what he could do in fast company. Hughey had developed into 3. good catcher. and the Louis vile Colonels of the old American As sociation needed a backstop John Chapman, manager of the ColoneIs, heard of Jennings while his team was playing in Philadelphia, and wired him that he would give him a chance and pay him SITS a month if he could deliver the goods:
 A little later Hughey reported in the Kentucky metropolis, as directed. Chapman gave him the once over and decided he wouldn't do, for Jenning gs at that time looked very. very green. In the meantime Chapn1an's regular backstop had got back into the game, and Chapman decided to try his Tenn on" at first base. where he had a vacancy.
 Hughey protested that he had never played the initial bag, but declared his willingness to try, and the way he made good was little short of mira culous Later Chapman sent Jennings out as shortstop. and he played, that position like a. born shortstop. In 1898 Jennings was sold to the BaItimo ore Orioles. and it was with Ned Hanlon's 8 famous aggregation of grab bers that Hughey. made his reputation as the stellar shortstop of the game. McGraW, now pilot, of the Giants, was member of that same historic i'm field.
 Jennings spent the winter months studying law at Cornell, where he also coached the ball team, and while still playing ball he was admitted to the Baltimore bar. He became promi- nent legal light, and might have ac- cQmplished wonders as lawyer, but the baseball bug was in his system, and when he was offered the manage ment of the Detroit Tigers in 1907 he jumped at the chance to return to the diamond. Three pennantsS in a row is Hughey's record. No so bad, eh?

(By wagner.)

Gene McCann's dream of running away with the Eastern association pennamt Is likely to be a. nightmare, if some of the other clubs don't stop fooling those Planters. week ago the Planters had a substantial lead but as a. result of five defeats Me Cann's boys went on the slippery slide They are only about 4 points ahead of Waterbury and Bridgeport is right after them, too.
 New London from the start of the warm season. depended almost en- tirely upon the pitchers. The Planters are a,spoor scoring team and appear to be unable to make the most of their opportunities on the bases. Last week when the pitchers began to slump, the whole club crumbled.
 Waterbury and Bridgeport are the teams most likely to bother New Lon don. Waterbury has three great pitch CTS in Morton, Frost and Osborn and Mclean is good against second divis- ion clubs. Bridgeport has well bal anced combination, but is not as strong as New London or Waterbury in pitching. But nevertheless the Bolts are a fighting bunch and are likely to stick in the race until the finish if they are not handicapped by injuries.
 Billy Hamilton's Springfield team may furnish a surprise by squirting at the last minute too. The signing of Daniels has helped the twirling de partnent and as the Ponies are a good fielding com binations they are apt to make trouble. Hartford. on account of weak hitting, appears to be out of it, unless big. changes are made.
 Martin Walsh, the big Bridgeport finger, leads the league in victories with record of five games won and none lost. He was taken out in New Britain one day. but Ray Williams finished the game and saved the bacon.
 Springfield has released Pitcher
