1HE TIMES.

WOLGAST ID WELSH MATCHED McCarey's Club at Los Angeles Lands a Championship Battle For Thanksgiving Day.

LiOs AnKeles, Cal., July 11. The battle for the lightweight championship of the world between Ad Wolgast and Freddie Welsh, the English challenger, will he staged at the Vernon arena of the Pacific Athletic club on Thanksgiving day, November 30. The boys will travel over the twenty round route, and each has agreed to post $2,500 with Tom McCarey, manager of the club, thirty days before the fight as a forfeit that they will make 133 pounds ringside. Final arrangements were made late yesterday, after a long and hot wrangle between "Wolgast and Manager Tom Jones on one side and Welsh and Manager Baron Long on the other. The matter of the $10,000 side bet was the main bone of contention, but McCarey finally settled this question for good and all by positively stating that as the last state legislature had passed a law forbidding betting of any kind on a boxing exhibition, a side bet would not be permitted. When all parties finally got down, to business McCarey offered Wolgast a guarantee of $13,500, or per cent of the gross receipts, along with 51 per cent in the moxing pictures. Welsh's share was to be a guarantee of $2,500 and 49 per cent of the moving pictures. Baron Long, representing Welsh, at once objected to the terms offered Welsh. He claimed they could get twice as much by fighting In San

Francisco during" the September holidays. Tom Jones said McCarey's offer was satisfactory, but a September fight was out of the question, as Wolgast needed a rest after his recent strennous campaign. McCarey then told Long he could make a better offer if the fight was to be pulled oft on a holiday, and named Thanksgiving day, increasing his offer to Welsh to $5,000, with 49 per cent of the pictures, as he did not care to bother with the films. Wolgast then said he wanted to give

Welsh a chance at the title and would

be reasonable, but he had promised Mc

Carey to fight In Los Angeles. Long contended for a percentage along with the guarantee of $5,000 to Welsh. After much discussion as to the merits of Los Angeles and, San Francisco as the place for pulling off the fight. Long

agreed to the terms, as did Jones.

Two men are down on the list for

referee Eddie Smith and Jack Welsh-

both satisfactory to Wolgast and

Welsh. McCarey will choose between

the two.

With the fight definitely arranged, the plans of the champion and his man

ager have been changed somewhat

Wolgast Intended to leave for his home

city today, but missed the train. He will go on tomorrow, Jones remaining

at the cottage at Venice Beach. Welsh

expects to return to San Francisco In a

few days. He will train at Venice.

Gamn Today. Chicago at Brooklyn. Pittsburg at New York. Cincinnati at Philadelphia. St. Louis at Boston. ' New York, July 11. True to his form "Lurid Lew" Richie went back to the slab yesterday and achieved a triumph over the "Giants," which not only evened up the series but hoisted the Cubs into first place once more in the National league's perfervid pennant chase. The score was 3 to 2 and it required ten innings to accomplish the happy result, which at one time seemed certain to be frustrated by a rainstorm.

Richie would have had a much easier

and a slightly shorter task If luck had

not favored the Giants at bat. but he might have met defeat at the hands of Big Six Mathewson if luck had not favored the Cubs when the Giants were In the field. Twice McGraw's men scratched long hits, one of which was an ordinary single and the other ought to have been an easy fly out. Both times these hits figured in the run column; in fact, they produced all the runs the home fellows made. On the other side of the picture the Cubs never could have scored a run off Mathewson If the men behind him had not erred. Chance's men were given their first tally by Captain Larry Doyle, the second by Fletcher, and the winning count by Bridwell, in each case the nude plant helped. The hitting on both sides was too light to accomplish anything unassisted and the verdict hinged on the turn of a card as It were.

GOOD CHANCE FOR PACKEY-WELLS GO Milwaukee, Wis., July 11. There Is a strong possibility that Packey McFarland and Matt Wells, the English champion lightweight, will come together in Milwaukee after all. The Badger Athletic club has made another offer to them and the Chicago boy is Inclined to accept. The date would be put over until fall, probably September, as Packey prefers that time to this hot spell. Weils also has an offer from New Orleans for a twenty round bout.

to fifth place in the race for the American league flag. Ed deserved a licking, for he was outpitclied by husky Jim Vaughn of the Yanks, but if a bit of luck had only smiled on the Sox they would have won anyway. The score In the struggle was 6 -to 2, the visitors driving home three runners in the last round. " ' ' Walsh allowed eleven base hits to be made off his spitter, while Vaughn held the Sox to seven, shooting a fast southpaw ball over the corners of the plate with admirable accuracy. Walsh passed four men, but Vaughn walked nary a one. Just the same a couple of bad plays by the Sox went against Walsh In the eixjh Inning or probably he would have won his game in the regulation number of rounds. Neither team had scored up to that time and pitching honors were practically even. Wolter was the first batter for New York in the sixth and managed to connect -squarely with one of Walsh's shoots that apparently had no break to it. The ball went In a line to right center for three bases.

HUMIDITY HALTS

LONG FLIGHT Baltimore, July 11. Unable to resume their aeroplane flight to Washington last evening because of unfa

vorable weather conditions, Harry N, Atwood stated that he and his compa

nion, Charles K. Hamilton, would try

to get away at 4 a. m. today. He add

ed that they would stop at College

Park, Md., where the army aviation

school of Instruction is located. ;

Atwood announced this decision about 7:30 last evening, after two fu-

tlle attempts Iliad been made at a

flight from the field where the machine descended yesterday morning after a remarkable and nerve-racking aerial Journey which began at Atlantic City, N. J., a few minutes before 5 a. m. and ended at 9:23 o'clock a half mile from the Pennsylvania railroad station at Stemmer's Run, approximately 148 miles from the starting point. The flight had to be discontinued on account of the intense heat and high humidity, which made it almost, if not quite, impossible for aeroplanes to attain a sufficient altitude. The same atmospheric conditions prevailed last evening and forced the postponement until morning.

El Paso, Texas, July 11. New government officials at Juarez, Mexico, have placed the ban on prize fighting there. El Paso promoters had made extensive plans to stage a heavyweight bout there during the race meeting next winter, and the affair has been

called off as the result of the action.
