unique in baseball annals.
His players feel so sure the Braves

sentiment of his mates I'm the ulu-
m5tum he has delivered to president

That ultimatum forced -Gaffney to
call off the arrangement he had made
II send Whitfield to the Phillies as part
payment for outfielder Sherwood Ma
gee Gaffney had planned to turn over
Whitfield and Tom Hughes, the big
pitcher from Rochester, to the PnlIlles-
Several other players offered to the
Ouakers also baked, so Gaffney tried
to change the terms of the deal to
ircude Hughes and a bunch of cash.
Gaffney seemed in a fair way to put
this through, when up rose Hughes
and objected. Thus it now is prop
ab4e that the PhiIIies will either have
to accept a straight cash payment or

It is great to see loyalty of men to

neither Welsh nor his manager ha
made an attempt to get another bout
with the Jerseyman. Offers galore
have been made the champion. / am
told but without avail. Tom McCarey
and his partner. Dominick. Tortorlch'
would be glad to stage the bout in
New Orleans next month, and Billy
Gibson. who viii manage the new box
ing club in Havana, is another bidder
for the match-or any other bout OF
twenty rounds or more in which the
champion will promise to be q prln-
cipal In the old days a boxer would
stop at nothing in an endeavor TO
get another whacE at conqueroI'
but nowadays it is different. The
money is the main thing. and how to
set it easy is the problem.
The truth of the matter is that long
bouts. to say nothing of finished
fights, do not appeal to modern boxers
Billy Gibson will discover this when
he tries to arrange one of those old
fashioned Is round affairs for his club
Even Freddie Welsh, who ridiculed
Ritchies championship claim and ac-
cused the former title holder of Ia
voring the nO-decisiOn things over
bouts where referees named the Win
ners. has shown a wonderful liking
for the short affairs since becoming
champion. ''No-decisiOn' Willie was
what Welsh called Ritchie when he
trail for a battle. Richie by the way,
had shown no decided preference for
no-decision bouts, and i'm fact had only
engaged in one or two up to that time.
However. since Welsh annexed the
title he has not been a principal in
anything else. If a decision had been
allowed i'm the Welsh-Shusrue battle
the jersey boy would today be boast
inC the proud title of worlds light
weight champion.
If Welsh has recovered form, I ex-
pect he will be able to Outbox White
next Tuesday While Charley looks a
natural fighter. he hasn't the speed or
cleverness TO outpoint the champion
in a ten round exhibition, allowing
that Welsh is anywhere near himself
But i'm a long match the boys hitting
powers and natural ability might
mean a different result However,
Welsh had better be in shape Tuesday
night or there is likely to be a change
i'm the lightweight setting. The out
OF condition spiel went all right after
the Shugrue affair but would prove
no alibi at all if White should happen to
put one over on the champions jaw

Welsh to work his hardest for the

TEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Freddie
nj Welsh versus Charley White is
= the big card in New York
fistic circules the coming week And
judging by the recent exhibitions Of
the pair Welsh is in for a lively ten
round session. I believe that reddie
at his best would not have much to
fear from White or any other boy in
a ten round bout, but doubt exists if
Welsh can recover his old time form.
His last contestant with Young Joe
Shugrue- showed us a champion who
was a very tired boy when it was over
One thing must be said in Welsh's
favor He is meeting one of the best
boys in the division. There is no
lodging or ducking opponents. At least
it looks that way on the surface
Welsh boxed White i'm Milwaukee sew
eral months ago, then met Shugrue at
a local club a month later. In meeting
opponents who are not only clever and
experienced but who can also hand
out the old * o." the lightweight
champion appears to be taking chances,
though it may prove he knows his men
better than the average fan thinks.
Danny Morgan, who maintains an
shining star is Jack Britton. the Chi
cagO lightweight accuses Welsh and
his manager. Pollok, of doginE Jack.
I do not know the circumstances, but
it does look as if most of the prOmis
ing lightweights are giving Britton
wide berth.
However, in Charley White the cham
piOn will no doubt have his hands full
and his program for the future will
hinge to a great extent on the man
ner he handles the ChicagOan. If
Welsh gives. evidence that he is still
slipping greater caution than ever be-
fore viii be exercised in making his
matches. Manager Pollok has no desire
to let the title pass out of the keeping
of his fighter so early in the play.
Welsh has been champion only about
seven months and while the pickings
have been fairly good. there is still
left a fine lot of books to trim. any
one of whom means a few thousands
additional to the Welsh-Pollok bank
roll.
Nearly all the New York papers
gave Joe Shugrue the decision over
Welsh when they met a month ago.
Therefore it must appear rather
mystifying to the average fan that

Often during the summer / receive

the catcher. which in a good many
cases causes the runner to miss the

the touch Of the catcher. If the run

course for the catcher to pursue IN

the runner failed to touch the plate,
