crank is in the upper half of the
crank circle than when the crank
is in the lower half, which
means that the pistons arriving at
top dead center have more inertia
than those arriving at bottom center.

MACK GETS NEW THIRD BAsEMAN
AthIetics' Manager signs Up Jimmy
Ritter to Take Bakers Place.

Connie Mack has signed a new third
baseman named James Ritter. Before
Mack can play the colt, however, he will
have to explain whether he observed the
rules of the game in obtaining Ritter >
services.
1t seems that the Lewtstown Club. of
the New England League. purchased Rit-
ter from the st. Louis Browns. Last
summer Ritter faced Pitchers BressleT
and Davis, of the Athletics, who had been
loaned to the Skowhegan Club up in
Maine. -Four hard hits were gathered by
the young third baseman in this eNhi-
bition game, and he also did some bril-
liant fielding.
The Richmond Club in September draft
ed Ritter from Lewistown for $50. Sew
eral weeks ago Jack Dunn turned Ritter
over to Mack for nothing. II Mack had
drafted Ritter the price would have been
s., 300 As a result Of this queer trans
action, J. II. Farrell, representing the

plain whether the Athletics purposely
avoided paying the extra $3.50.

OTHER FISTIC GOSSIP

Pugilisn't historic clsssihcation-the

premier in battle array this week when
Johnny Kid Williams, present holder OF
the title. fares forth in defense OF his
crown against his newest challenger,
Pete Herman a Southern midget.
Tie Iight-fOoted. heavy-handed Dane
from Baltimore has been prepared for
a stin encounter. Realizing that his
present match with Frankey Burns had
raised a doub. in the minds Of many
boxing followers regarding the present
condition Of the champion, Williams has
spent the last month in careful prepsra-
ton for the present enlargement. II he
fails to show title csliber against Her
man. the impression now eKtant that
williams has passed the zenith Of his
career will become more strongly en-
trenched. The issue is the most import
ant one that Williams has faced since
the day he toppled over Johnny Coulon
and became the worlds recognized cham
pion among the mites OF the ring.
The battle between Williams and Her
man will be staged under the auspices
Of Dominica Tortorich at New Orleans on
Monday night. The route will be twenty
rounds. and the weight will be lis pounds
ringside.
Every follower Of ring affairs Is in
timately acquainted with the accom-
plishments OF the champion, but few
are informed concerning the record Of
his challenger.
Pete Kid Herman is a product Of the
Southland and he is now just rounding
out his nineteenth year. He has been
fighting since 1919, and during his
brief time within the squared circle he
has engaged in forty-two battles.
Among the bsntams Of class whom he
has met are the following: Pal Moore.
Jack Doyle, Louisiana, Johnny Soils
berg, Eddie CoulOn, and Johnny Fisse.
He also met Kid Williams in a ten
round no-decision contest and the
champion was conceded the newspaper
verdict on points.
In physical dimensions Williams and

is possible for two rivals to be. The
