result of the defea. yesterday at the
hands OF the Virginians. Muggsy
will make his men go the limit this
afternoon to beat the Richmond Ints.
That Dunnie has aggregated good
baseball club was demonstrated to the
entire satisfaction Of the Richmond
populace at Broad Street Park yes
terday afternoon. Never have the
local Ints flelded the ball in such a
manner. and despite the fewness of
the Virg!nians' hits. they came at
most opportune times. The Rich
monders played good and at times
spectacular ball. and the way the
boys ,.cavorted around the battle
ground made the local pilot feel i'm
mense.
AL Hoffman. the big Richmond right
gardener. sure did give the old pellet
a healthy waiiop In the sixth inning.
The ball was Mt least ten feet over
Snodgrass' head. and before 1t stopped
It had hit somewhere near the club
house doors. He experienced ntrie
trouble in going the entire circuit be-
fore the ball was returned. He sent
Johnny Bates in ahead Of him. and
these two .allies made possible a VIC
tory for the local outfit.
Two other home runs were made
during the encounter, Jim Thorpe and
Merkle each sending the horsehide
over the left field wall. Merkle's wal
lop was q repetition ot a. hit. made
here on his visit two years ago.

JUDGE HARRIS NOT
TO BE GOVERNED BY
OUTSIDE OPINION

When Judge N. E. Harris, governor
elect of Georgia, got back to Macon
last week after having spent some
time at his winter home here. he
found great stack of letters await
ing his attention. Nearly all OF the
letters were from people in various
parts of the nation urging or recon-
mending executive clemency for Leo
Nj. Frank, condemned to die for
the murder of Mary Phagan. Satur-
day, after going through the great
pile of mail, Judge Harris said:
You can just say for Nat Harris
that if the matter of dealing executive
clemency to the condemned man is
to be considered by him, that the en-
tire outside world will not be taken
into consideration one bit. 1t is en-
tlrely Georgia matter and il | am
to consider the case | shall consider
1t altogether from a Georgia basis.
with the interests of Georgia and the
interests of Georgia persons at heart.
The governor elect estimates that
he has received 1000 letters relating
to the Frank case. Most of these.

than Georgia.

VISITOR CRITIClZES
AMOUNT OF SEAWEED
ON WAIKIKI BEACH

The following criticism of condi-
tions which have developed recently
at the Outrigger beach at Waikiki
was received by the Star-Bulletin to.
day from a visitor from the mainland /:
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: As a visitor VINO daily en-
joys the sports at Waikiki it does not
become one to criticize too freely ex.
eept where the good OF Hawaii is con
cerned. For the last two days the
beach has been covered with seaweed
to such an extent that bathing is not
a pleasant experience.
ION beach so world renowned ii
seems shame that such a small OBJ
lection should not be taken care OF
without the. criticism of visitor.
The Outrigger Club, with mem
bership of about 1000, should well be
able to hire couple of men for day
to rid their beautiful spot of such a
nuisance. Or, if not this club, | am
sure a 10-cent subscription from bath
ers any afternoon would cover all
expense.

I0(EMUCH COMMERCIALISMIS
KILLING INTEREST OF FANS

fighting for caifsef and the sbecta-
tors know IT. What most OF the fans
want is not a high brand of ball, but
q hard fought game.
Bad SquahhIe Over Park.
Several things have happened In
the last year to put damper upon
the sport When Venice came here
last fall there was that squabble over
the Athletic Park and. the result was
no game on Thanksgiving day and a
lot of resulting discomfort among the
fans.
Again, when the All-NatiOnals and,
the All-Americans came over the boys
turned out to see them practise for a
couple of days, but the big fellows
played so listlessly that the fans were
disgusted. II simply goes to show
what / said before, that what the fans
want is to see two hard fighting
teams in the field no matter what is
the brand of ball. And il they would
not support the major leaguers why
should they support our semi-profes,
SIGNALS?
Interest has fallen away to such
an extent that not one team in the
leagues will make enough to pay ex-
penses. and 1t Is doubtful II there is
enough in the treasury to pay the
mere cost of operation It goes to
show that the greed of the players has
defeated their own ends.
About the only good fans left here
are the Orientals. They will always
get out to support one of their own
teams. but their motive is more that
of patriotism than a true love OF the
sport. AS Ter the rest OF the people,
they prefer swimming and automo-
billing to Indifferent baseball.
The only cure that Iscan see for
all these evils is a long rest Let
people forget all about the present
teams, and then let the sport be re-
viyed on purely amateur basis. It's
good game and is bound to win out
II it's handled in the right way, but
the present. system is killing what
was once one Of the best baseball
towns in the world.

Much Interest Being Taken in

A new and exciting feature viii be

race The single scull race has not

sport lovers. but II has long been an
established spectacle ct all water car
niyals on the mainland. On the coast
and IN the eastern states there Is no
race OF the day which excites more
interest than does the single sculling.
II IS nm event which calls for an
equal effort OF brains and muscle. In
the barge races. even In the pair oar
TacBs, the crew has a coxswain to do
the thinking for them, guide the boat
and keep tab on the opponents. But
in scuiling race the man has all

RITCHIE Will
Fight SHRUGUE
ON OCTOBER |
Ex-champion Back in Ring
With Intention of Winning
His Former Title

With the news that Willie Ritchit
has been matched with Joe Shrugue
to fight 10 rounds in New York on
October I. fight fans all over the world
will begin to fix their eyes upon the
ex-chamDion lightweight again. Willie
has never been widely popular in the
ring but he has always been respected
Combining the GOODNESS OF Joe Cans
and the hitting power OF Herrera, R;t
chie's rise to fame was swift. AS the
saying goes. He awoke one morning
to find himself famous.
As champion ne fought neither fire.
quently nor very impressiVely and Il
was not great surprise when clever
Freddie Welsh relieved him. of the
worlds title in England. The trouble
with Richie is that he fights more or
less wide open. glad to take half a
dozen blows II he can get his 'one-
two punch in on the return. This
accounts for his defeats at the hands
of Charlie White and Welsh. The for
mer simply surprised the champion
with his terrific hitting power and
happened to land haymaker at the
beginning of the fight that kept Willie
stunned throughout the 10 rounds. IN
fact the most wonderful thing about
that fight was not Whites success but
Ritchie's ability to stay with the bat
tie for ten rounds after he was prac-
tically knocked out. Men who watch
ed the fight from the ringside. state
that the San Franciscan was unques-
tionably dazed every minute of the
fight He was merely working mech
anically.
II this is the case 1t would be welt
for White to steer clear of the ex.
champion in the future Possessed OF
the most deadly one-two punch that
ever crushed an opponent, Richie Is
dangerous In every round. He cannot
be bluffed. he cannot be kidded like
poor Terry McGovern, and he cannot.
be cowed by punishment. He has
really never been decisively defeated.
In the London fight Welsh merely
danced around and did fancy boxing.
Richie in that fight tossed a hun.
bred straigh. punches off his rugged
head and he could have tossed away
a hundred more and not felt them.
He was clearly outpointed but he was.
not out-fought. If he could ever get
the champion into an American ring
for a finish fight there is not sports
man in the country who would not
beg, borrow and steal every penny he
could raise to place it on the ex.
champion.
s
Willie has had a ten months rest
and he comes back fit for the hard
work of climbing back to the top OF
the ladder. His fight with Shrugue
will be an excellent workout. Joe was
accounted one of the most dangerous
men in the business a year ago. Since
then he has had severe trouble with
his eyes, but he has recovered now
and will give the best of them hard
run for their money. Should Willie
beat him he will be in line for match
with White and then can force Welsh
into a match, willing or not willing.
