w this morning with couple
of bits of information stick
ing in it. One of them came direct
from baseball headquarters and was
the news of a telegram received from
Steamboat" Flanagan. 1t was dat
ed at Milwaukee, and remained
tersely that Mr.. Flannigan's contract
(signed) was on the way.
The other bit of information came
around by another route, and sounded
very much like a rumor
1t said that the Feds were after
Carl Thompson and had made him a
bully offer.
THE Flanagan news sounded pref
ty good. The Steamboat person
Is touted as a bear cat with the wood
and a daring and brilliant fielder. He
will have to be g. good deal of that
to earn a regular job in the Atlanta
outfield, but we are just as glad to
know that he is going to take the
chance.
Now we will look forward to en-
couraging news from Kirscher. At
last reports he was rather unhappy
about his prospective relations with
the Feds, which may mean action
pretty soon.

Providing the weather man sees fit,
Hallowell will cross bats with the

Hallowell intends to make an extreme

champions. Thus far the two teams
have met twice. in which Halowell was
the loser in two hard fought games
by scores of s to 5 and to g. This
time it is hoped to turn defeat into
victory and it is probable that some
fast ball will be seen. Winthrop has
been greatly weakened by the loss of
Pitcher auckland, who certainly was
the most formidable player in the
league. On the other hand, Kalloweli
has practically a new lineup Niles

American Crossed the Ocean to Lose Title on
Points Because of Welchman's Remark
able Agility-Ritchie Given but Five
Rounds of Twenty

punches in this round but they seem
ed to make no impression on the
American, who showed great stamina
Round 13-Ritchie smartened up and
landed two straight rights on the face
and sharp uppercut. The American
forced the fighting all through the
round, Welsh slowing up considerably.
1t was a good round, all in favor of
Richie.
Round 1.-THE American got in a
short hot left on the body. Later he
repeated with the right. The fighting
was fast and fierce to the end of the
round. This, like the preceding, was
Ritchie's round.
Round 15.-The first half of the
round was a hugging match with both
men working hard in the clinches,
Welsh trying to wear out his oppo-
nent. There were a couple of rallies
but no damage was done. The round
was even.
Round 16-There was more might
ing, each receiving a good tap on the
face. The Welshman ducked a terrific
right handler. The fight continued a
hne exhibition of boxing by Welsh,
who played entirely for the face, while
the American tried for a body knock
out.
Round 1.-THE men again went into
clinch at the sound of the gong. Up
on breaking Ritch lie landed a hard left
hand swing on the face and followed
it up with a series of sharp body
blows. Richie pushed the fighting and
appeared stronger. Welsh covered well
and was too quick for his opponent
Round 1S-Ritchie bled from the lip.
This was very fast round in which
strength against quickness continued
to be displayed but the Welshman got
little the better of it.
Round 19-Welsh was getting all the
applause, being the favorite with the
crowd, but Richie was doing the
fighting. Welsh landed a right on the
fact and got one in return. There was
a smart rally in which the honors were
even.
Round 20-They started mixing it
hard with both hands for the body.
Welsh lodged forceful uppercut and
gave the American a sharp left on the
cheek The fight ended with the swift
est kind of work, the welshman press
ing the American around the ring in
the last few seconds Welsh was car
ried out of the arena amid great
cheering. after being declared the win
ner of the contest on points.

individual record speaks for itself and
no recommendation is necessary. At
the close of the High school baseball
season in Massachusetts a few weeks
ago, he was picked by all of the Bos-
ton newspapers as the second best
High school pitcher in the State, and
he was one of the three who pitched a
"no-hit, no-run" game. During the
past season, he has been captain of the
crack Waltham High outfit, and has
time and again distinguished himself
hitting. Only last Saturday he pitched
against a "semi-pro" team at Lowell
and struck out 19 men. Several teams
among the Maine leagues have been
after Pagan, but the Hallowell offer
landed him. 1t is the general opinion
that the Hallowell management has
secured a twirler that will show
something before the season that will
male them all sit up and take notice.
