UIS BNSLING, Sachems JOHN CASEY, Sachems JOHN HUGHES, All Stars CORBETT PREDICTS RITCHIE THE VICTOR ‘Admits Welsh Has Good Ability, but is Not So Strong. James I Corbett, former heavy- welght champlon of the world, pra- dicts that Willle Ritchie will defemt Freddie Welsh today in the twenty- round bout in England for the light- welght crown. Corbett is no wonder at picking winners, but the foregoing at picking winners, but the following article bears fruit. Jim say: “In connection with the Ritchie- Welslt match considerable apprehen- sfon exists regarding the American’s chances of defeating the Briton. Fun- ny how quickly sentiment will shift in ugilism. When Ritchie first beat ‘olgast and was taken on an extend- ed theatrical tour by Billy Nolan, east- tobe Played at the Falls, skl S " never seen him to a man box Joe Rivers, at that time regarded as the most likely candidate for the title, and stopped the Mexican in 11 or 12 rounds the critics began to hedge. Truly the boy who could beat Rivers 80 decisively must amount to_some- thihg, after all. Then when Ritchie came down east and trimmed Leach Cross, New York's best lightweight (or_touted as such), he was the bis- gest man in the game. His style cre- ated such an impression on the ex- perts that he was dubbed a “second Joe Gans” and the expert consensus was that he would hold on to the title for many years—that there was no. one in. sight who could make It even in- teresting for the champion, “Then came Willle's comparatively poor showing against Charley White at Milwaukee, and Charley had not been classified as a champlonship as- pirant up to that time. Many of those ‘who had been singing Ritchie's praises most extravagently shifted again, and now .on the eve of the American's most fmportant match since winning the world's title are ‘fixing for an out’ in the event of Weleh's success in getting the .referee’s decision. - “No one is more willing to admit Fred ‘Welsh's ability in- the boxing line than I am,_ Stiil I do not belleye there is great danger of the world's light- welght title going to England at this time, If one was to throw _every Ritchie battle out ‘of the reckoning emcept that ome with White in Mil- waukee, there might bs reason to ‘worry over tl matter, but these who take the trouble to look at his show- ings egainst boys who would probably experience no great trouble in defeati- ing White must admit that the Amer- ican champion is Ro sucker at the game. If it were a ten round battle, for points, I would be jnclined te fa- vor Welsh's chances. Conceding that ‘Welsh is a faster and more sciemtific boxer than Ritchie, in a centest af twenty rounds stamina and hitting Dowers are to be reckoned with, as welli as fast and skiliful boxing. Ritchie is the younger and stronger boy, and these are two big points in his favor in a bet of this distance.” BIG GAME AT HOSPITAL. Middletown Institution Plays Here on Thursday. - On Thursday, July $th, the River- view olub of the Norwich State Hos- pital will cro bats with the State Hospital team from Middletown. The Middletown hospital is always represented by one of the fastest hos- pital teams in the count: and. this season is no\ exception. ‘With the team representing the Nor- ‘wich hospital this season, the best that ever represented that institution, there is sure to be something doing, as there is keen rivalry of the righ kind be- tween these institutions. The visitors will bring a large bunch of rooters with them as usual. Manager Chase will depend on Houri- gan who shut out the Sachems on July Fourth to stop the visitors from running away with the game. BILLIARD LEAGUE. Star Cue Artists of the World Form an Association. A league composed of the bilard experts of the world has just been formed for the mutual protection and incidentally for a ‘“barn storming” tour of this country, There are nine in the club, which is known as the Champion Billiard Play- ers’ league, They are Willle Hoppe, Albert G. Cutler, Calvin W, Demarest, Ora_Morningstar, Harry Cline, George At BATTING AVERAGES. Burns of the Phillies Leads the Ma-| Jjors With 395. The batting averages of the major leagues show’ that the National league has fifteen .300 hitters and the Ameri- can eleven. Burns ~of Philadelphia Nationals leads with average of .395, while the American league is headed by Cobb. Although Cobb has been out of the game for the last few weeks he heads the list for the last week leader has gone on a slump with the willow.

New York, July 6.—Aside from some arttficial activity at higher prices in the group of ‘pooled” specialties, to- day’s stock ;market dragged along in traditional midsummer fashion. Tho Detter feeling fostered last week, by developments at Washington seemed to have been dissipated, and traders were again averse to follow the up- ward movement, while those of bearish tendencies were no less cautious in the opposite direction, In investment as well as speculative circles the long delayed freight rate decision remains as the most influen- tial factor. Crop conditions in prac- tically every section of the country continue exceilent and money remains easy regardless of the recent heavy exports of gold. According to - authorities the steel industry is sald to show appreciablp Jmprovement, and the monthly state- ment of the United Btates Steel cor- poration, which will be issued Tater in the week, is expected to show a mod- erate increase in orders. The June statement of the Copper -Producers, which comes out Wednesday, is the subject of considerable conjecture, but the metal trade is plainly better than it was a fortnight ago, London sofd American shares at home and later here, the dealings for that account in this merket aggre- gating about 10,000 shares, partly neu- tralized by buying of coppers.

One day two ng hurlers were en- gaged in a ular pitchers’ battle. They werc both right-handed, but that ended the resemblance. One was over six feet tall, the other was five feet and about two inehes over. On June 21, 1901, at the Polo Grounds, the home of ‘the New York Giants, these two hurlers battled for five innings without allowing a run. In the sixth the visitors managed to get & man on with their midget hurler up, the little chap who had been pitching his head off came in from his task with the sweat streaming down his o euant t his eyes with his fists, ng out his w be picked up his little bat and walked np to the plate. The big pitcher smil ed o rather pitying smile, but didn’t let up on his . He flashied the Dball through with all the stuff he had, and the little fellow swung at it witil ail the stuff he had—and his team- mates declare with his eyes shut. However, an awful ¢rack follow, the ball sped away beyond any around ng the other fellow in. the big fellow was none other than the now famous “Big Six” And the midget, the little hurler who banged the ball, was “Wee Willie” Sudhoff, then pitching for the St. Louls Cardi- ‘ee Willie” was so swelled up that he forgot all about the art of pitch- ing, and before he landed on earth again the Giants had tled the score in their half of the inning and won the game in the ninth by the score of 3 to 2. This was the only homer made off the delivery of Matty in two seasous, in the year 1902, the batters of the National failed to connect with his curves for a four-bagger. So liftle “Willle" wore' the title proudly for & couple of seasons. Must Insure Players. Under the Workmen's Compensation law, which went into effect in New York the other day, the baseball play er is recognized as a “workman en- gaged in a hazardous occupation. end ball clubs are taxed accordingly in order to_insure him his livelihood in case of mishap. Not alone are the baseball clubs of the state to be taxed. but visiting clubs as well, and a neat sum will be Federal, International and New York State league clubs. | The eight clubs of the National | league, for instance, each will have to pay 34500 to insure players thelr pensation in case of injury, it is eald, which would take frem that league alone about $40,000 cach year.
