Charley White Expects to Show the Fighting World Some Brand New Tricks

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 31.—After an c.bsence of nearly three years, Charley White, conqueror of Willie Ritchie, has arrived here in company with his manager, Nate Lewis, and his trainer, Joe Bernstein. The little Chicago scrapper settled down at the beach right away and started active training for his coming twenty-round battle with Joe Azevedo.

Nobody paid any attention to Charley the last time he was here, because his name h.td not been Inscribed in the book of fame then. He had just dropped in to see Owen Moran wallop Bat Nelson and he had just been walloped by Danny Webster down )n Los Angeles. But things have changed^ s'nee and this time Charley comes as a hero and everybody Is talking about him. "White is not picking the easy ones," said Lewis. "All he wants is a chance to fight and he doesn't care who he fights either. After he gets through with Azevedo, he'll take on Ritchie or Welsh or any of them. But if Ritchie wants action, he will have to make 133 pounds. This Is the recognized weight again and Ritchie can't sidestep it." "I'll stick right here if thev can dig up opponents for me," cut in the fighter after his manager had finished. "I like the long distance route and I am sure that I can give the fans of San Francisco plenty of action. I have a lot of respect for Azevedo, because he gave me a harder fight than Ritchie. Don't worry I won't take any chances with him."

Kid McCoy Thinks Well of Carpentier

Kid McCoy, one of the craftiest of the old time middle-weights, and inventor of tho "corkscrew" punch, has been in Paris for the past two months and has watched clos-ely the work of the doughty French scrapper, Georges Carpentier, who* recently won the white heavyweight championship on a foul from Gunboat Smith in London. McCoy has rendered a verdict of the Frenchman's ability that is significant. "This boy Carpentlor must be reckoned with," he said. "He Is a good one. He uses a crouch which makes it difficult to hit him and in spite of his many battles he has no mark on him— which Is convincing testimonial to his skill as a boxer. Cauliflower ears and twisted nose do not go for Carpentier. He has a 'quick left and his right, v, hich shoots out from his crouching position, is a hard blow to av.oid and a dangerous punch to take."

TEREE HAUTE TRIBUNE

WHAT PITCHING MEANS

Pitching is playing a big part in the National league race. It is responsible for the spurt of the Cardinals and the Boston Braves, and the second place standing of the Cubs. It is also keeping the Red Sox in second place In the American league and has made the Browns something of a factor in a race where they appeared outclassed.

But pitching isn't the whole cheese In baseball—not if the records of this year are read carefully.

Fans declared it was improved pitching that kept the Detroit team in the hunt: But look at the Tigers since Ty Cobb went to the bench for a long spell. They declared that pitching would win the pennant for the Giants: yet the team is leading despite the fact that only two pitchers on CIUD'S roster have won half their games this season—Tesreau and Mathewson.

The Athletics are credited with owning two decaying veteran flingers and a flock of unripe young ones, not of

FREDDIE WELSH TALKS LIKE A REAL CHAMPION

Will Meet White Any Time If Suitale Purse Is Offered—Coming In October.

CHICAGO, July 31.—Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion of the world, will give Charley White a chance at the title, but only if the purse is to his liking. Welsh, In a cable received here today, stated he would be In America in October and that his first fight as champion would likely be staged on Thanksgiving day. He does not say White will be the first man to meet him. The lightweight who can draw the biggest gate will be his first opponent. But he wlU meet White If the purse offered is big enough. "But I'm champion, and I'll do the dictating on the weight matter," he added.

In Our Set

Said John McGraw to Connie Mack, '"This is the year I'll set you back." Said Connie Mack to John McGraw,

Tee 1-Iec, Hee Hee, Hah, Hah, Hah, Haw."

Heinie Zimmerman, of the Cubs, has been reported as saying that "I'm through baiting the umpires." Heinie might just as well have said, "I'm through breathing." Same thing.

A horse named Brick and ^lortar won a race in New York the other day. The hoss used to be railed "Merlie." We don't know why they didn't rechristen him "Ivory" instead of the name he new wears.

"The salaries of minor league players ought to be cut," remarks Edward Barrow, prexy of the International league. You do it, Eddie no one else In organized baseball is brave enough these days. The magnate's lament: "Of all sad words of tongue or pen. The saddest of these: "It rained again."

Charley Holiday Ebbets, the well known pacificator, was non-commltant today when asked if he would go to Europe and stop the battling now going on In those parts. •5ee, It must be fierce to be a ball player and thus be forced to over exert one's self. Take Ty Cobb's case: The Tigers have played 95 games, and Ty has played 45. Ty gets $15,000 a year or about $100 a game. This means he's drawn about $5,000 without giving value received.

But, then one Mustn't overlook the fact that, in the interim Ty hasn't been altogether idle. Remember he soaked a butcher. That requires some little effort.

Maurice Uhler has joined the Millers and droi-ped into'the line-up just above the pitchor, which Is a fitting position for anyone recently from Cincinnati.

CHICAGO, July 31.—Johnny Coulon may not be bantamweight.champion of the world, but to the boys«Of the Working Boys' home in Chicago he is the greatest fighter that ever laced on a pair of padded mitts. Coulon Is a champion even if he doesn't stand at the head of the list of bantamweights, for he Is the champion of the working boys and they swear by him.

Yesterday afternoon Coulon, known the world over as the biggest little man of the ring until "Kid" Williams dethroned him only recently, wended his way to the Working Boys' home at 1140 West Jackson boulevard. In his pocket he carried a new $1,000 gol-1 certificate. Father Quille, In charge of the home, met Johnny on his arrival, but Johnny didn't waste any time with useless conversation to explain the reason for his visit.

Presents Bill to Father Quille. "I came to present the boys with that $1,000 I promised them," said Coulon. Then he quickly dug down In his Inside pocket, produced the $1,000 bill, and handed It to Father Quille.

Coulon long ago promised to make the working boys a present. When "Kid" Williams, the present champion,

Paynter, ex-Terre-ir. didn't last long against the Evas yesterday, getting his in the first inning with two runs over and none out.

Tom Cantwell yesterday demonstrated that his batting average of about .325'is the result of clouting ability by weighing in with a single that scored two big runs.

A recruit twirler, Shore, had no trouble in blanking the White Sox yesterday, the Red Sox copping, 4 to 0.

Led by Baker, who clouted a homer into the seats, the Athletics defeated the Browns, 4 to 1. Bressler. a youngster, was the winning heaver.

For the second time hand running, the Yanks yesterday mauled the Naps in two games. Pleh, formerly of Dayton, finished the second game for Chance's crew in good style.

Although held to a lone single by Griner, the Braves nosed out the Cards yesterday, 2 to 1. Errors were responsible. The Cards' lone tally was the result of a homer by Snyder, former Central receiver.

pennant caliber but the team is now running away with the race. Runs Mast Bfe Scored.

Good pitching is inoperative. It has a passive value, however, for its effectiveness in winning games depends on the ability of the supporting team to score runs on attack. A pitcher wno can hold the enemy runless, still needs a team that can score one run to win a pitcher that will allow the opposition five runs, needs a hitting and scoring bunch back

of

him that will tally six

times. A pitcher's value in winning a game, if he's letter perfect, can only be 50 per cent of the game, and even then he ould have to stand up and strike out 27 men. A pitcher's support must be figured at least 10 per cent: and if he isn't perfect in his ^pitching. his credit must be further reduced.

Unless a hurler is an absoulte phenomenon, he should not receive more lhan 30 per cent of the credit of winning a game. There are eight other factors In each contest.

LARRY LME ON TOP

Larry Lejeune, the bly outfielder who was with the Grand Rapids team of the Central league for three seasons, and whose lanky form and smiling face can well be remembered by fans In this city, is playing better ball in faster company this year than ever before.

He is leading the swatters in the Western league by a big margin, with a grand average of .407. The nearest man is hanging on with an average of .362. Lejeune is playing center field for the Sioux City team in the Western, and he has won a home with the fans throughout the circuit.

Big Larry has participated In eighty games, been at bat 268 times, scored 54 runs, hammered out 109 hits, including 25 doubles, nine triples and seven circuit drives. In addition to this he has stolen 32 bases, more than any other man In the league.

Lejeune was considered one of the most dangerous men at the bat in the Central, and his big war club in a pinch was the most dreaded one to the opposing twirlers. It will be remembered that two years ago he was mixed up In an auto accident and badly Injured. It was then reported a couple of times that he had kicked the bucket, but from his antics in the Western league this year one would hardly surmise that he is altogether a. dead one.

Rapids Send Tydeman To Wichita Club

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 31.— President Essick, of the Grand Rapids Central league club, announces that a new man will be found on third base for the champs and that Outfielder Vincent Tydeman has been transferred to the Wichita club of the Western league In return for a cash consideration and the release of a utility man by the name of Bossoloni.

With three outfielders hitting and fielding in the form Marshall, Jones and Grimes are there is no longer a place on the team for Tydeman, who has been falling off In his batting during the past month. He has been playing a fair game on third base for an outfielder, but Is not considered any such a third baseman as the man who will take his place.

Tydeman led the league In stolen bases last year and shows well in both batting and fielding in th-e official averages, but is not considered by the Giand Rapids management to be a team player. He Is considered as an individual player- who gives more thought to his own hits and playing without errors than t-eam success. He has won quite a few games for the Grand Rapids team by home run drives over the left field fence, but outside of his timely hit in last Tuesday's game has not been hitting of late wfaen hits have been needed.

SOME SWAT.

Baker's home run at Dayton the pther day was the second homer that nas been planted over the left field fence at the Vet park.

Johnny Coulon, Ex-Champ, Gives Working Boys $1,000

was a challenger he taunted Johnny, claiming the Logan Square battler was afraid of him. At first Coulon paid no attention to these taunts and Williams became bolder. One day he declared he would make Coulon a present of $500 if Johnny would fight him.

Offer Conies from Williams. Still Coulon listened with polite Interest and no "comeback." Then finally Williams said that he would give Coulon $1,000 to get In the ring with him.

This brought Coulon out of his silence and he called Williams' bluff. "You pay me $1,000 to fight you and I'll give the money to a Chicago charity," was Johnny's comeback. Williams after having his bluff called, could not back up.

Coulon didn't have any difficulty In deciding to whom he would give the money. The working boys always were his friends and he announced that he would give the $1,000 to them.

When he fought Williams the boys were rooting wildly for him to administer a gooa licking to the Baltimore fighter. Last night they were rooting again loudly and perhaps with more feeling for "their champion."

Casual Comment

The Terre-irs gained on their nearest rivals yesterday by trimming the Reapers, as both Grand Rapids and Ft. Wayne were upset.

Umps Sheridan hit Morgan, of the Senators, during yesterday's contest at Detroit and in turn was slugged by a Washington player, said to be Ainsworth. The umps ordered the players off the field and as they were leaving Ainsworth got into a battle with a fan. Henry tried to yank his brother backstop out of the stand and in turn was hit on the head by a chair thrown by a fan. The crowd then rushed to the battle scene and it was necessary for the police to butt in. Incidentally, the Tigers clawed their way to victory in the tenth. 3 to 2.

Getting their lamps on the agate, the Pirates swatted their way to a 7 to 2 success over the Superbas. In all, the victors tore off 12 hits.

After losing the first of two combats to the Phillies in the twelfth, 4 to 3, the Cubs came back In the second setto and aided by six Quaker bobbbles copped. 5 to 1.

Pete Knlsley, ex-Central leaguer, broke In with the Cubs yesterdy, but went hitless in four times at bat.

Meyers heaved the pill away In the ninth inning of yesterday's clash between the Giants and Reds and sent Matty down to an undeserved defeat, 2 to 0. "Red" Ames was the whitewash expert.

Bait Players Not Guests in Boston

The life of the ball player is not all a bed of roses. Recently one of the major league clubs changed hotels In Boston and got into d, hostelry unused to serving athletes. The management set aside a separate dining room for them. Two of the players, ignorant of the plan, strolled into the regular dining room. The bead waiter approached them politely and said: "Excuse me, gentlemen, are you ball players or guests?"
