BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BoXNG

Following several shifts m the TWO
White Sox teams, Russell Blackburne
may come into his own as a regular
infielder and stick until the start Of
the season, at least. Manager Row
land, after watching the work Of his
charges in several games against va
riOus teams of the Pacific Coast
league, is dissatified with the per
fOrmances.
Baker, a regular third baseman,
filling in for Weaver at short, has
failed miserably. Eddie Collins is
much too fast for him and this has
tended to throw out of gear the eff
forts of the crack keystoner. Over
at third base BromWich has not lived
up to his minor league press notices.
He has committed a bone play or two
that are not to be tolerated in the big
show.
ChappeII, gardening in left, is stiH
overweight, and this affects his work.
Russell is another fellow who is too
beefy for his own good or that of the
team. Consequently Reb, Chappel
and possibly Bromwich and Baker are
due for a jaunt with the second team.
BIackbUne is to report Immediate
ly to the regulars and go to work at
short, where he will remain until
Buck Weaver is able to get back into
the game Then it is probable Rus
sell will be shUnted over to third. His
experience there is limited, but the
station is on the side of the diamond
familiar to him, and he has baseball
brains to stack up with Collins and
Weaver. If Brief hits, Rowland could
afford to use a ight-hitting, fast
fielding and quick thinking man on
the third corner.
Jack Fourner, whose batting is alb
solutely necessary, will be picked up
by the first team in a day or two and
assigned to one of the outfelding po-
sitions. Fourier is certain of a reg
ular position, as his bat is powerful

we can imagine is popular" deci-
sions in ten-round prize fights. They
serve no purpose but to stir up ill
feeling, and seldom settle the ques-
ton of superiority.
Willie Richie won a popular" de-
cisiOn oyer Lightweight Champion
Freddie Welsh in ten rounds at New
York last night. He clearly whipped
the Briton, yet is not entitled to the
championship because Of an unwrIt-
ten rule that titles cannot change
hands in ten-round affairs.
That is manifestIy unfair. Ritchie
lost his title on points in twenty
rounds in London, and it seems only
reasonable that he should be allowed
to take it back on points, even
though the go was only for ten
rounds. To all intents and purposes
Ritchie is the best man this morning,
yet he must remain merely a chal-
lenger, while Welsh, the defeated
man, retains the title.
Welsh makes a significant post-bat-
tie statement. cit seems to be a habit
to give popular decisions against
Welsh he says, but you notice
who goes right along fighting all
corners and meeting more than all
the title claimants put together"
There stands Welsh. Ten-roUnd
decisions make no difference to him.
He keeps his title and can realize on
It at the box Office.
Neither man was marked through
the ten rounds. Ritchie staggered
the champion once, but the effect
came more from the fact that
Welsh was backing away than from
the blow alone. It was fast fight,
full of action of a kind, but not
brUising.
This pair should fight twenty
rounds and settle all doubts Wheth-
or fbav will Or not IL GOrnoFhinCy alec.

ACCIDENT AT FLAT RIVER

Last Saturday evening Miss Anna
Tucker, aged seventeen, and her five
year-old sister started across the
Crawley trestle at Flat River. Before
they got across they were caught by
an engine and the older girl forced
the younger one to jump, but before
she could jump herself the engine
caught her and her feet were cut off
at the instep. We have only very in
complete reports, but we were told
that her fingers and her nose, with
part of her face, was cut off. Accord
ing to the best reports at hand the
girl is still alive and has been taken
to hospital in st. Louis.
This horrible accident is one of the
many that occur frequently in many
parts of our country, and the most
of them might be avoided if only prop
er care was taken to see that there
is no trains in sight, and then one
should not cross a railroad bridge ex-
cept when absolutely necessary.

LIVE STOCK REPORT

While the city butcher bought some
choice hogs at S7.72 1A2Ito SITS,
there was little general change in the
trade from yesterday. Good weight
hogs, especially heavies, sold slowly
and weak from the start, but there
was an active trade for pigs. The
bulk of the good hogs weighing $50
pounds upwards sold at $3.50 to ST.
65; roughs at $6.s5 to SIPS; pigs no
to $50 pounds $7.15 to $3.50, with
light pigs $3.50 TO 81.
We are entering the season when
you can expect more or less swine to
have been on grass-kinds that will
prove unsatisfactory IN this respect:
They are shrinky and will lose much
more in weight than dry-lot hogs.
For this reason buyers are always on
the lookout and discriminate against
them. We particularly want to call
your attention to this and also to see.
that your hogs are well watered when
loading and be sure to instruct your
agent to water them enroute.
Cattle receipts 1000. Market gen
orally steady with the exception of
good yearlings which are 15c to Csc
lower.
Sheep receipts 1900. Trade steady.
Good to choice springers selling at
$40 to $11; medium to good SO to $40;
culls $3.50 to $3.50. Clipped sheep
