All yesterday afternoon and until far into the evening .the policemén and’ their friends at Schuetzen pnrkg enjoyed the-time of their lives., Re- freshments there ‘were galore and in ' the afterncon the Dixie Minstrels gave a lengthy entertainment during which the “end men” cracked a large num- ber of clever jokes at the expense of well known local and visiting police- men. After this entertainment the party broke up into little gatherings, some of the men preferring to stand or sit in groups and swap . stories while others indulged in. more stren- uous sports, such a baseball and bowl- ing. Reporters Vs. Cops. ; That ‘the great American pastime has ardent supporters amongst the police and press was demonstrated when a picked up team, represent- ing the “Reporters’ Union” played a picked up team of policemen, cap- tained by Officer “Pat” Howley. As there were but two reporters present at the time it was necessary to ‘ring in” several lawyers and policemen to make the full .complement of men. Officer *“Mat” Rival caught and Fred Wagner was on first base. It was thought because he had a ball player’s name that he would be a tower of strength and when he smashed out a home run it was seen that this con: fidence was not misplaced. ‘When, however, he was caught out on third base, it was conceded that he was no relative of the famous ‘“Hans”. Officer “Butsey” -Lyons played short stop, but had nothing to do, while Dr. Kelly tried ‘to hold down third base. In trying to hold down this position the physician fell down in one in- ning. Other' members of the re- porters’ aggregation acquitted them- selves with - ‘more or ' less credit, chiefly less, judging from the remarks from the ‘‘bleacherites.” Klett: a Shining .Light. However, the shining light of this team was Prosecutor George W. Klett. Klett was a veritable whirlwind and when he cut loose with the ball there was no telling where it might go. On onawccasion: he slammed it into the pit'of Chief Dame’'s stomach as the latter ‘was- sitting on the side- lines eating a dish of ice cream. Cutg Off Home Run. The ‘Mmostsexciting play of the day occurred . in‘‘the -third inning when Wagner, “'the “Flying Dutchman,” slammed" out # hit that would have been good for a home run had it not been-for Second Baseman Officer “Dan™ Richardson. As the speed- ing Wagner was rounding the key stone sack the guardian of that cor- ner grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him to the ground and held him there, until ‘the ball was relayed in from'deep left fleld. Chief Belden of -Bristol, also distinguished himself by taking kindly to one of Officer Hart's offerings and lacing it for the circuit. Officer Willlam Hart 'twirled’ for Howley's team and if his opponents had not hit him so freely he would have been a success. Officer Strolls caught and stopped them once in a ‘while. Other members of the team were also conspicuous for their work, or lack of work. Game Ends a Tie. When the shades of night had fallen on the diamond and the 'score was tled at seventy-seven runs eari it was decided to call the game in favor of the press, as it was agreed by the members of that team to abide by the newspaper decision, HTHTTTTT T A m i i ?

London, July 9.—Willle Ritehie, former lightweight champion of the world, is being congratulated for his astute shrewdness shown : when he stipulated a return match in the Wnit- ed States with Freddle Welsh when signing for the fight that cost him his title. Just when the return match will be set has not been decided upon. Ritchie of course is anxious that it be as early as possible. the other hand, after the fashion of all new champions, would prefer o reap the financial harvest that is open to him in the theatrical line before staking his laurels, There is little doubt that Welsh and his shrewd manager, Harry Pollok, will earn a fortune before the British champion is called upon to defend his title. No man in England is more popular than the conqueror of Ritchie. When the return bout is held there is going to be such a crush for admis- sion as seldom has been witnessed In an American prize ring. The American contingent which had bet heavily on the former champion was somewhat disgruntled that the title had changed hands in a limited contest. While all admitted that the Briton outpointed his rival, some argue that the worst Ritchie should have received was a draw. These maintained that aggressiveness and his superiority in the last five rounds offset the lead that Welsh had estab- lished in the early rounds. Ritchie, however, suffered his defeut philosophically. “I have no excuses to offer,” said he. “I lost to a cleverer man. But I think I can do much bet- ter the next time we meet. I lost in twenty rounds, but I am sure I can regain the title in that distance.” “My greatest concern was to avoid Ritchie's right punch,” said the new champion. ‘'*He has improved won- derfully in delivering thisy blow. T ‘played safe from start to finish. Now that' I have taken Willie's measure I am not afraid to meet him again. Once you beat a man you have him for life as a general rule.” Already offers have begun to pour in from the United States and the | Continent from fight managers who | wish to feature the new title holder. | Denver cabled an offer of $25,000 to Welsh to meet the winner of the Charlie White-Stanley Yoakum bout. White got a newspaper decision over Ritchie in Milwaukee a short time ago. White’s manager has challenged Welsh his own behalf. He says that he {s willing to have Charlie meet the champion in either London or America. GAMFES IN OTHER LEAGUES. International League. Toronto 3, Montreal 2 (ten nings). Buffalo 3, Rochester 2.

Izzy Hoffman, last year with Hart- ford, and now manager of the Read- ing club of the Tri-State league, is anxious to secure Billy Gleason from the Ponies for regular work in his in- field. Gleason is now with New Ha- ven under an optional dsreement and it possible a deal will pe arranged so that the Holyoke youngster may g0 to the Tri-State and get needed ex- perience. At New Haven it is a ques- tion whether or not Manager Jerry Connell will be able to use him .as much as Bill Carey would wish and for this reason the deal will probably be put-through, DERRICK TO CHICAGO. Cincinnati, July 9.—Claude Derrick, the infielder purchased by the Cin- cinnati National league club from Raltimore, was yesterday traded to Chicago in exchange for First Base- man Fred Mollwitz and Outfielder Cy Williams. It was for this purpose that Derrick was purchased for a big sum, the trade having been con- summated before Derrick’s purchase. He will be sent immediately to Chicago. JACK MILLER NAMED.

In six innings he turned the locals down in order. Wilson was also well up in this respect, retiring the visitors im order in four of the six innings he worked, As there was no use in wea ing Wilson out after the game had gone by the board, Pilot Scinski with= drew him from the fight and sent | Parks onto the mound.
