ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1914-Freddie Welsh defeated Will lie Ritchie for worlds lightweight championship in 20 rounds at London. The Welshman has now held the title for two years, and in that time he has picked up a lot of coin and come in for much harsh criticism because of his business-like tactics. It cost Welsh a lot of money to get Ritchie into the ring with him and he was a big loser on the London bout, so it is only natural that he should even matters up when it is in his power to do SO. In the London battle for the title the American boy landed only one good punch, and even then the clever Brit isher avoided its full weight. Other wise it would probably have been all over for Freddie. The tricky Welsh landed frequently on Ritchie, but his punches lacked power and steam, and Freddie won the decision from Eugene Corri on the strength of his great cleverness. Many of Ritchie's punch es missed by a foot. According to Corri, Ritchie's great weakness in this fight was hit habit of "telephoning'' his punches. Welsh kept one eye con- stantly on Willie's right and always had plenty of time to get out of the way. The "beatings" administered to Welsh by "favorite sons" during his American campaign haven't left any marks visible to the nude eye nor erased the smile from his face.

Moriarity of Memphis

Manager Moriarity of Memphis the same, old George who used to ca wort around third base for the Tigers his thirtieth milestone today. George is the author of that classic anthem, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and several other songs which have attained considerable mo- toriety. He was born in Chicago on July ' 1886, and debutted in the pro- fessional baseball spangles at Spring field, H., in 1903. The Cubs gave him a trial in 1904, but turned him over to Toledo, where he covered third for the Mudhens a couple of seasons before landing with the Yam kees in 1906. He spent three seasons in the New York uniform, and join ed the Tigers in 1909, in time to get a share of worlds series dough. He was given his unconditional release by Jennings last November, and 1t was rumored that he would be come the pilot of the Cleveland Indians, but the old dame didn't make good. Moriarity was offered managerial berth by Denver and several other minor league clubs but passed up these propositions and was signed by the White Sox. In mid-May the vet eran Tiger captain was released to Memphis in order that he might be- come the skipper of that Southern League club.

GIANTS DROP LINK
 ON WESTERN TRIP
 AND BEAT PIRATES

Pittsburgh. July 7-The New York Giants looked like the champions of old yesterday. and simply toyed with the Pittsburgh Pirates, walking away with the game by 12 to 6. It could just as easily have been 12 to 1, for that was the score when the home team came to bat in the last half of the ninth, but Pitcher Perritt became careless, and simply tossed the ball over the plate.
 Consequently, the bats of the Pi- rates got late start and cracked out five safeties.. These. combined with a walk and a very wild throw by Perritt to catch runner mapping at second, and which went past the center fielder and scored two runs, made a total of five tallies for the local team in a very brief period.
 Cooper essayed to stop the Giants in their first Western game of this trip but something slipped as far as he was concerned, and the McGrawites sent him back to the shower bath after the ffth inning, after having used him for nine hits and five runs. He was replaced by BabeA dams, who was also forlorn hope for Jimmy Callahan-in fact, he was a little bit worse than Cooper, and at the same time better for the batting averages of the Giants. They smashed his of ferings to all corners of tl1el ot.

WOULD GIVE TWO BASES TO BATTER
 HIT BY BEAN BALL

Chicago, July 7-President B. B. Johnson, of the American league, would give the batter two bases when ever he is hit in the head by pitched ball, instead of one base as at pres ent, in order to deter pitchers from intimidating the batsmen.
 In a statement made public here today he disagrees with the sugges- tion recently made by President Eb- betts of the Brooklyn Nationals, that batsman be given his base any time the pitcher tries, in the opinion of the umpire, to hit the batter in the head. He thinks the Ebbetts plan would only add to the troubles of the umpire and would lead to more wrangling.
 T am loath to believe" MT. John son said, that any player in the game would deliberately injure another. but there seems to be a growing belief that pitchers are resorting to throw ing balls at players head in order to intimidate him or drive him away from the plate. According to the re- ports, that belief was largely respon- sible for some of the latest outbreaks on the field. In that case it may be we'll to have some plan of minimizing the possibility of such methods being employed by pitchers in the future"

MATCH
 WITH WILLARD IS
 SURE TO BE JOKE

New York, July 7.-Just at present it looks as though it will be Fred Fulton who will get the next match with Willard. Although Fulton ap- pears to be no more promising than the promoters to call off the proposed Willard's packers are showing no dis position to discuss the chances of any other candidate.
 However, it is more than likely that the big money talk going the rounds is merely press agent work. None of the regular promoters has come for ward with an offer for a Willard-Ful- ton match. If the men ever do sign articles the storm of indignation will break. If the Dillon-Moran match which looked like 8 regular fight could draw less than $30,000 despite all the advertising it received a one sided affair like the Willard-Fulton thing hardly could be made to pay.
 A championship match, like any other, needs plenty of favorable ad- vertising. No sporting writer not sub sidized would care to say that Fulton looks to be a good match for Willard. Fulton positively refuses to tackle any of the live contenders. Jack Dillon recently told the writer that Fulton's manager had begged him to let Full ton alone and not show him up by challenging. Fulton refused to meet Frank Moran. setting his price so high that the promoter was forced to drop negotiations at once. Charley Weinert also is taboo as far as Fulton is con- cerned. y-isa,ss ftsys
 As the men mentioned are the only ones rated any way near the top of the class, it is plain that Fulton has no confidence in himself. By defeat ing any one of the leaders in a deci- sive way he might obtain recognition, but he seems to prefer being regard ed as joke to taking the chance in- volved. Even Jim Coffey and Carl Morris are considered too dangerous by the Rochester string bean.
 So far, Fulton's most ambitious ef- fort was his affair with. old Porky Flynn, whom he outpointed in 20 rounds at New Orleans, according to Referee Tommy Burns. although the decision was not concurred in by a majority of ringsiders. His more re- cent defeat of Al Reich was even less impressive. for Flynn had twice de- feated Reich. As a matter of fact Reich could have stopped. Fulton in any round if the former had been willing to try to fight.

That well known baseball veteran and college coach, Billy Lush, bought half interest in the Bridgeport baseball club today. Announcement was made at the office of the club in the Connecticut National bank build ing, where the new magnate was in- troduced by Owner Harry Cornen to all corners.
 H Lush will act as manager of the team and Neal Ball, who has been leader, will be field captain Lush has had long experience in baseball. He played in the American league for years and afterward acted as coach at Yale, Columbia, Fordham and other colleges.
 "We will start at once to strengthen the club,' said Lush this morning. Bridgeport is my home town and am confident the fans will support us when we begin to deliver the goods. know there are two or three weak places in the club and I started wires working this morning to get men,"

PINCH LETTERS NOT
 CROWNED UPON NOW
 BY BASEBALL CROWDS

Are pinch hitters objectionable to vote of the fans 1t is sure thing bet that the nays would carry the argument by big majority, writes Old Sport in the Philadelphia In- quirer. President Johnson of the American league maintains that the pinch hitter should be eliminated on the ground that he usually displaces pitcher who is working well and is warmed up to his work.
 It casts reflection upon the pitcher and in addition sends into the game "coId" pitcher to finish it out. The "cold" man is therefore under a handicap, and the bench warmer is sent to bat to strike out or maybe fly out for the pitcher who has been taken from the firing line. Accord ing to MT. Johnson. the growing prac- tice is making a joke out of the pitch. CTS, and is decreasing interest in the game. He favors some sort of legis- 1ation to curb the tendency of rush. ing the pinch hitters and the removal from the game of pitchers who have suffered couple of hits in success sion.
 { It might be possible to inject rule into the already jumbled up rules that would prevent pitcher being with drawn from a game until he has pitched, say. three or four innings, but as long as ball games must be won to win a pennant it does not sound like good reasoning to prevent a man ager from making use of some of his perfectly good bench warmers when hit is needed at critical moment to catch up on the score.
 There is no doubt but that the patrons of the game enjoy better a game of good clean hitting than a pitching duel in which there is little action on the base paths. If there is a man who can come through with a base hit the fans are in favor of seeing that man perform.

 Nick held the White Sox to four hits yesterday and, save for an error. would have held them to one run. < Chicago made two safe hits in the drst inning. one in the fourth and
