With the Inauguration today of the lecond intersectional series in the National league, followers of the form sheet should be able to accurately determine within the next two weeks the
(clubs.
pennant possibilities of the top notch
Unless we concede the flag to the Giants at this midway date, we must consider the Cardinals, still a first division club, a pennant factor. Huggins' team was away to a wretched start and hasn't fully recovered from the ill-effects of the poor get-away but the pitchers have flashed with good games in the past month and until such time as Hub Purdue's value to the club is determined, the Cards must be reckoned with.
The Giants, who open a four-game series at St. Louis today, still are pac ing the field. McGraw's club is trou bled with unsteady pitching just now and the failure of Jeff Tesreau, the Ozark Bear who started the season with a flourish, is liable to cause trouble. In past years, the Giants have been blessed with bang-up pitching, after July 4. It was aDout that date each season that Tesreau rounded to. However this season he is showing signs of weariness just When he should be "hitting 'em up." He was withdrawn Monday in the first inning after he had issued three walks and yielded one hit.
Giants Lack Backbone.
The Giants are recognized by virtue of their colossal failures in three successive world's series, as a weekkneed organization. There's no flght, uo staying power to McGraw's club against keen competition.
Fortunately, though, the motherly old National league has been so weak that the Giants were obliged to win three flags and lose three world's series in as many years.
Since their last pennant conquest, the league has been still further weakened. The loss of such pitchers as Brennan, Hendrix, Seatoft, Brown, and other top-notchers Bnared by the Federal league, has weakened the circuit at least 20 per cent. McGraw, however, lost very little, as Wilson, Hartley, Cooper and Crandall, the only Jumpers, were secondstring men. True, he lost a star in Art Shafer, who quit the game, but when all the figures are down and a total struck, the Giants felt

the Federal raids less than any other team in the circuit. "Dope" Wrong on Pirates.
Pre-season dope had the Pirates as the only serious contender, the wisenheimers figuring that the acquisition of Keney, Mowrey and Harmon would round out a pennant machine. That dope was the bunk, because the Pirates are now in fifth place, headed downward.
The Cubs, who were consigned to last place by the winter experts, have flashed with a long winning streak since Roger Bresnahan broke into the box score as the daily catcher. Roger has been on the job every afternoon since Jimmy Archer was injured in Brooklyn a month ago. Since Roger took command the Cubs have come from seventh to second place. Chicago has the pitchers and THE catcher, and, to Johnny Evers' way of thinking, is a pennant winner, if properly handled. Of course, Evers may have said this to make Hank *0'Day*s job the harder, but Evers said it just the same.
But now for a word about the Cardinals, who are just behind the Cubs. Hug's team is one of the few N. L. entries which was strengthened since 1913. The addition of Miller, Wilson, Dolan and we might include Butler, has bolstered up the Card entry. The work of Frank Snyder and Ivey Wingo, the best pair of kid catchers in either league, also has been a big factor, while the pitching has been fair always and at times good because of the improved work of Perrltt and Doak.
Cards Showing No Reversal. So, viewing It from a close angle, the Cards are not upsetting the form sheet by running into first division. Hug immessuably strengthened his club by the Koney-Miller switch. He developed Doak, Perritt. Snyder and Dolan and has improved his club asd is one of the few managers who has done so.
Philadelphia has been weakened. So has Cincinnati, by losing Marsans, Chicago by losing Evers and Brooklyn by losing Tinker. The Phils are shot to pieces' while the Braves keenly feel the loss of Quinn and Rariden. But the Cards are not lamenting the loss of Oakes and Evans, although they could find work for George Suggs. However, the acquisition of Perdue should neutralize the effect of Suggs' going and give Huggins a much stronger team.

Welsh clearly had the better of «cven rounds, while Ritchie earned the honors in Ave, with the remaining sessions even up. The victor landed the greater number of telling blows and did the superior boxing.
In the opening rounds Welsh scored more points than Ritchie. In the fifth round, however, Ritchie forced the fighting, and in this and the next two rounds there were some sharp exchanges and heavy infighting, in which Ritchie generally got the upper hand. Several times the American was cautioned for holding in the clinches.
In the eighth round the Welshman showed his liveliest, and in thiB and the ninth round forced the fighting and had the best of the encounter. When half the match was over Welsh led easily on points.
Ritchie revived somewhat in the eleventh. He had the thirteenth all his own way. The fourteenth was also Ritchie's. Then both slowed up. In the seventeenth Ritchie got home a number of sharp body blows. Welsh obtained more points in the eighteenth, which left Ritchie with a bleeding lip. The nineteenth was even with Ritchie forcing the fighting. The final round was the shiftiest of the whole fight and Welsh had the better of it.
Ritchie Disappoints Frleada. The loser disappointed his American friends at ihe ringside by his showing. He was aggressive and always on the move, but his judge of distance was faulty and he missed numerous leads. His blows, however, carried more force than Welsh and his opponent showed •narks of punishment at the end. Welsh had a damaged left eye, a cut nose and bruised lips while Ritchie's face with the exception of his badly lacerated Hps escaped unmarked. Had Ritchie heen able to land one half the blows sent home by his rival he would have been an easy victor, but the Welshman's defensive execution was too clever for the erstwhile title holder.
Ritchie tried hard for a knockout in the last four rounds, knowing that he was losing on points, but he couldn't iet through his opponent's guard with anything like a finishing Blow. Had the American been as aggressive in the opening rounds as he was in the latter part of the battle he would likely have earned a draw.
The great crowd went wild when Ref..eree Corri held up Welsh's right hand as a token of victory. The winner was the favorite and more than $500,000 changed hands on the result, it is said.'
Welsh and Ritchie are matched to meet in a 20 round battle in the fall. Fsnx Cheer Father.

FREDDIE WELSH.
RITCHIE LOSES Mf TO WELSH ON POINTS
King Generalship and Superior Skill Gives Briton Lightweight Crown In Fast Bout
LONDON. July i.—Willie Ritchie, world's lightweight champion, lost his crown her® last night to Fred Welsh, who defeated the American on points In a fast twenty-round bout, witnessed by a record house. Referee iSugene Corri awarded the Welshman the decision and there was none to question the ruling, as Welsh's experience, ring generalship and all-around skill was too much for the Yankee.
,r a
reat assemblage of all all classes in he great arena of Olympia. Before the three preliminary timekilling bouts had been finished the majority of the prominent London sporting men had gathered about the ring, as well as 200 or 300 Americans, eome of them well known.
Women Attend Boat.
There were not more than 100 women all together, most of them in evening dress, who occupied the section reserved for members of the royal family and prominent society people during the horse show.
The two men weighed in at Olympia in the afternoon, when Ritchie bcaled 134 pounds, while Welch was juet able to get within the stipulated limit of 185 pounds.
Welsh entered the ring at 9:58, amid lusty singing of the Welsh hymn, "God of Our Fathers," by hundreds of his countryman. Ritchie appeared at 10:03 amid hearty applause.
The betting was 7 to 4 on Welsh. George Consldlne placed $2,000 at those odds.
White Wants Next Crack at F. Welsh
DENVER, Col., July 8.—Charley White, who Is to flght Stanley Yoakum here on July 14, declared today that he was not surprised to hear that Welsh had defeated Ritchie. White is anxiously awaiting a cablegram In answer to his challenge to the winner of the world's lightweight championship. "I beat Ritchie far more thoroughly than did Welsh," said White, "but I suppose it's up to me to go out to restore the championship to America. I claim that the flght in London has only emphasized my right to the title."
White is training hard for his go with Toalcum. The Coloradoan Is considered one of the toughest men the ring. White expects to knock him out.
Ritchie Has Alibi Welsh to be Dictator
FREDDIE WELSH—It has been the aim of my career to win the world's title. I have been patient and have made every concession to get this battle. I would have met Ritchie before, but he said I was a novice. I knew 1 was his master and I proved it last night. I will meet any fighter in the world, but I will be the dictator.
WILLIE RITCHIE—I am defeated, but not humbled. A good sportsman always wants the best man to win. I know I disappointed my friends, but I could net got going right. The strong arc light over the ring was too dazzling and I could not measure the distance. I never fought beforo under such a
frlare
end it affected my judgment. My rlcnds pannot feel the defeat any more keenly than I do. I am sure I can beat Welsh. He did not hurt me with a single one of his blows. I can out punch him and the result will be different next lime.
M'CAREY WARNED RITCHIE.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 8.—"I am not the least bit surprised that Welsh beat Ritchie," declared Promoter Tom McCarey today. "I told Ritchie in San Francisco that Welsh could beat him and predicted the outcome to a nicety. To my mind Welsh is the classiest lightweight the world has ever had. He knows too much of the game and wins because he is able to use his head."
Pitcher Hit Hard By Auto. ROCHESTER, N. Y„ July 8.—Pitcher Edward Manning, recently purchased by the Rochester club. International league, from the St. Louis Americans, was run over by an automobible here Tuesday and his foot injured. He was taken to an emergency hospital and will be laid up for some time.

Reds Plan ig Trade of Players
CINCINNATI, O., July 8.—President August Herrmann, of the Cincinnati National league team, announced today that Inflelder Derrick and Outfielder Twombly, of the Baltimore Internatlonal league team, had been obtained by Cincinnatir~~He stated that Twombly would be tried out immediately but that Derrick would probably would figure in a trade soon.
Rummors were current of- a big deal that, it was said, would change the personnel -f the Cincinnati team to a considerable extent as well as include several well known players on'another National league team. Both Herrmann and Manager Herzog refused to make a statement regarding this deal other than to make brief announcement that chere was nothing new in the trading line.
Ex-Terre-ir Backstop Liked at Washington
With due regard for the ability of Henry and Ainsworth as catchers and throwers, as well as their ability to handle pitchers, it seems a mistake to keep a batter of Williams' ability on the bench more than is necessary. If there is one thing which the Nationals needs it is a cleanup hitter. Williams has proven himself to be this in every sense of the word, and yet he breaks into the game but seldom to go the entire route, though he has made a remarkable record as a pinch hitter, hitting safely seven of the twelve times that he has been sent to bat this season for an average of .583.
Incidentally there has been nothing lacking with Williams' catching this season. In the games he has worked he has held his own in the matter of throwing to bases and he seems every bit as capable In handling the deliveries of the young pitchers as either of his colleagues.—Washington Star.
That Manager Griffith ""would strengthen his team's offense if he would have Alva Williams in the game as much as possible is shown whenever that individual Is called upon to play. Now that Gandll is back at first base the team's hitting would be materially strengthened by having Williams catch a majority of the games. The hitting of Williams yesterday was one of the features. He was the whole show in the first game, when he made a double, a triple and a home run, and in the second game he started the rally in the seventh which gave the Nationals their only run. That kind of a hitter is too valuable to be on the bench more than is absolutely necessary.—'Washington Star.
