' Tex Is "Championship" Promoter RICKARD stands out all alone in the boing game. Ho never has put over n tllvver. nnd every bout, with the exception of one, had n unnulmous winner. In 1110(1 he staged the Xelson-(inns battle at (ioldfield. Nov., nnd Kelson won on n foul in the forty-second round, A purse Cf $34,000 was divided on tlint day. Xelson getting $23,000 Irrespective of the decision. Four years later Tex again invaded the boxing field nil put on the JeiTries-.Iohnson match, which was one of tlio tnost-talked-of nITnirs in pugilism. Hlckanl out bid the other promoter- with an offer of $101,001), and drew $27H.77i at the gate. Johnson won in the fifteenth round nnd was well pnid for his trouble. With the $10,000 bonus for signing nnd his share of the moving pictures, the colored man collected Sl'JO.OOO. Jeffries emerged with $117,000, which was pretty good for forty five minutes' work. After this came the Wlllard-Moran affair, which lasted ten rounds, and the Dempsey-Willnrd contest in Toledo last year. Hickard has been connected with noth ing but championship bouts and always gnve value re ceived. "I have several bouts in prospect," lie snld, "but do not care to announce them now. The Walker bill bus not yet gone Into effect nnd will not until (lovernor Hmlth appoints the boxing nnd licence commissioners. As soon us tills N dime, and if I receive a license, 1 shall unnounce my plnns more ful'y." "How about Dempsey and Carpentler?" he wns asked. "I'd like to get the match," was the reply, "but Car pentler now is in France nnd nobody knows If he will come b.'i' .: again. However, there are other bouts which should lie an interesting, and 1 will try to laud them. "I know I have a rival in the International Sporting Club, but on my pnrt It Is a friendly rlvnlry. Xew York Is big enough for two huge organizations and the com petition will insure the best cards for the public. It also will help the boxing game, and that is my chief Idea."

One day lie looks like n champion and the next like n buslicr. You never can tell what Cecil Alger non will do when he steps on the mound. Yesterday he wns In wonderful form and almost pitched n no-hit game. He held the Cubs to two stingy singles and made it possible for the l'hll to win by the scoie of 4 to 1. If lie could pitch like that all of the time Cravath would not accumulate so many gray hairs under his lid. Cause Is n good pitcher when he thinks he is. In other words, he can kid himself into believing he i.s in terrible sl.'ipo. hns no contiol and then starts to worry. On thtiM' occasions he Is wilder than n runaway auto mobile and they use the hook on him as soon as possible. If the red -headed athlete could control himself he would be a gieat pitcher and profit greatly thereby. e ATT Illl taking the count in yew York, the ('in- cinnali Ilcds icill open a four-day emjaacment here this afternoon.

Yankees Hit the Skids TIH New York Yankees have been skidding in the West nnd today are holding second place in the American League by tlio slender murgin of one point. They ran into sipialls in St. Louis nnd Chicago nnd lost six of the nine games played. A club cannot expect to win the pennant with n percentage like that. Yesterday they lost to the White Sox b the score of 10 to ,'t. Hoosters for the Yanks are getting alarmed and won dering what will happen next. Huggms's tenm is playing bad baseball and the pitching nlo is poor. They win games hy beef nnd brawn, nnd when the hitting falls off it's time to wash up. They can win niuny 15-to-l'J games, but when one run is needed the stuff is off. .Y Till! meantime the Indians arc hrersinp along with a fivr-game lead and the White Sot die climbing steadily.

SUPPOSE we consider the lntentionnl pass in baseball In n trifle more de tail mainly for the renson thnt It Is a matter which the rules committee of tho major leagues cannot afford to overlook before tho season opens. In football, If the opposing team has a star halfback, the only way he can be handled successfully is to mnss two or throe men against lilm, as Chicago tried to stop I lest cm nnd Princeton tried to stop Coy. , There is no device In football by which nn offensive star can be rendered null and void by any such simple expedient ns lifting him completely out of action. Iu fact, thcro Is no other game where this can be accomplished except in base ball. The Folly of It BUT in baseball a club cither buys or develops a great hitter, who Is thereby a big asset to his club. Ho may be a Cobb, a Speaker or a Itntli. Having acquired this star the club li entitled to get full value. Hlg crowds come out to sec him deliver his offensive push, and each time n critical time in the game arises, with runners on second and third, or with a runner on second or third, the crack slugger is gently but . firmly lilted from the plate nnd do- t posited at first base on an intentional ride, thereby being of no value to his club and of no more interest to the big crowd than n sack of salt. His own club doesn't get full value, and neither does the fan flock which pays the dally tax. Wc are not blaming the pitcher, whose main business is to win the game under the rules. Wc are blaming the rules, which permit any such rank un fairness. Tho Solution WE HAVE printed, read and heard . UlllllklUU.l ..,.,.(,'... .vug ..3 -. ..v.. this situation should be met. Alter curctui consideration ot nn plnns offered to eradicate the evil, the following seems the simplest and the best : When a batsman, with a runner on base or runners on the bases, is given four balls ho shall be entitled to cither accept or decline the pass. The pitcher shall then stnrt on n fresh attempt, If the pass is declined, and if lie again walks the batsinnn the latter shall be entitled to take two bases. Tills rule would settle the entire argument. Suppose runners were on second nnd third, with Huth, Speaker or Sislcr at bat. The batsman, given four balls, declines the pass. He is given four more thnt fail to cross the plate. He then moves to second base, the man on second is forced to third nnd the run ner on third is forced home. How many intentional passes do you believe would be given in the fuce of fiis penalty? In Which Event UPPOSE, you may add, the pitcher isn't trying to hand out nn inten tional pass, but is making nn ineffectual attempt to get the ball over? Any pitcher who hasn't enough con trol to handle the situation in tun nt. tempts, if the first pass Is declined, de serves the. heavier penalty.
