Fixing a pennant raoe, aa previously pointed out, would be the height of folly for the men behind. To fix a race the managera or owner of tha cluba that were not to win would have to laaue order for their men to '.lay down." Probably the men would "lay down" but the chances are they would refuse. They want a ahare of that world aertea money just as erell aa the next person. But assuming that the men 4d agree to lay down. Some time In the future one or another of those fellows might Mt a "raw" deal from his owners. It would make him peevish and vindictive What would be his first mover Nothing also but to rush to some newspaper offlos and relate the tnned details of the frame-up. Does anyone think that the. base bell magnstes whose fortunes are tied up In base ball, and whose suooes depends upon the honest of th nm nM k come involved In a crooked deal that later on certainly would be disclosed by some disgruntled player? la other years. It may be remembered, the claim was made that the Giant were strengthened In mid season, at the ex pense of the weaker clubs, so that It would be a dnch for the New Yorker to wla the pennant The boob element had tt an figured out that the National league powers wanted the Oianta to win because the Giants could pull a bigger crowd than any other town In the National circuit daata Draw Big CrawAa. The Giants are able to otitdraw any other city In the world' ,eriee crowda. but It lan't at all certain that they'll be In the world's series. They need help In ths form of real players, but they kren t getting It They need at once lean fielding, hard hitting outfielders, to bolster up their outer garden. They need someone to take Stock's place at third. The recruit fields well and Is ady, but he Is weak with the atluk. . And moat of all the Giants need a seasoned pitcher one who can be counted upon to win at least two-third of his gamea. But they haven't goten him and they won't get him. The other clubs need tfcelr good pitchers just aa much as the Giants. And they are hanging en to them. The New Yorkers got Marty O.Toole from the Pirates last week, for the waiver prloe of tUOO, but It's a que, tlon to whether CXToolo will help them. The condition seems to effectively "pike any yarn that the powers that be la the National league force other cluba to make trades with the Giants that are advantageous to the Giants.

But they won t They never have and never will. , Some folks seem to think that the Boeton-Brooklyn deal. whereby the Brave got "Red-, Smith, the third .acker, was, "flaad.". More bunk.

NEW TOTIK, Sept. 12.-The escape of Freddie Welsh and Gunboat Smith from tli base of war operations on the other side will give boxing In this country just th Impetus required to keep the sport from the despondent state that threatened It when the European powers averted to exterminate one another. The return of Welsh to peaoeful soil will stir up the lightweights who are obsessed with the Idea that they have a chance to dethrone the English king of 133-poundera. Smith's return to his horn hearth means that th heavyweight divi sion will teem with renewed activity, and that the "white hopes"' will again Infest us. " When Willie Ritchie came horn a while ago minus his world's Ughtwenght cham pionship, th men who dally with the gloves at 138 pounds did not fall over themselves In their hurry to engage Ritchie In battle. The American . cham- plnahlp waa not Incentive enough for them. It waa an empty title according to their way of thinking, and there waa no occasion to boost Ritchie's stock by In sisting on fighting film and thus enhance A pleasant way to spend your noon hour Is to play chess or checkers at th Omaha Chess and Checker club.

W hav th pleasur of presenting our reader with a specimen of play frornJ the Tumble-weed" tourney of the Stat litaa asaoclatlou. Thla tourney waa b- un several weeks ago, and its chitf Captain Cheape, one of this year's win ning English polo team, joined his regi ment, the KlrSt Dragoon Guards, and is now fighting on the battlefields near Paris. Captain Wilson, who played back for England at Meadow Brook In 1911, is getting up a volunteer cavalry regiment and will command It He won the D. S. O. In South Africa. Captain Noel Ed wards' regiment, the Twelfth Lancers, wss one of the first to go to the front. Any number of professional boxers have responded to the fall to arms. Carpentler, the French champion, was In London and, being under age, he did not have to go; Willie's drawing powers. But now that we have Freddie Welsh, th world's undisputed lightweight chsm pion, In our midst among us, and of ,us well, that's somewhat different. Al ready th lightweights are cramorlng for a whack at Welah. And only a few months ago Freddie was blng avoided Ilk a pestilence. Truly, was a differ ence a few months and a world's title make. m Not Likely to Fight Sooa. There la every reason to believe that Welsh will not put on the gloves for a real ring battle for qVlte a number of month; surely not before the year I out ' First Frederick will Insist thA the "light" boys participate in an elimina tion tournament and he will oblige by taking on the winner. This series, re gard leoe of when it is conducted will take us far Into the winter. Meantime, while waiting for a suitable opponent, Welsh will gather In as much easy money as can be earned by our noble champion, on Willie Ritchie. At present there are only three light weight of note whose past perform ances warrant a meeting with the cham pion. Willie Ritchie, as ex-champlon Is entitled, to a return match. ; Charley White, as eonquerer of Ritchie before Willie -was en t toad to- his doom-(puglllsr tlcally conversing), is deserving of a chance. Then there Is . our own Leachle Cross. . . 1 Cross would give Welsh the battle of his life. It Is 'asking a . good deal of Welsh to select Cross ss his first ad versary, hut If Freddie could dispose of Laaob.1 a a manner that would leave no doubt f his superiority, then the Britons would be classed with the regular cham pions. It Is not at all unlikely that Welsh will distinguishing feature is the peculiar opening adopted In each contest. The compulsory moves Include white's seventh and black's sixth move; and as will be seen below, white thus enters the real contest with the loss of half his pawns, and is also obliged to forego the priv ilege of casting. - Such odds would at first sight lead one to believe that black must win all the gamea, but such has not proven the case, though final results will doubtless show white the loser in a large majority of the games. Consider ing the handicap of white, th black loss which follows Is of Interest. The con testants are J. G. Fort - of Omaha, the tat correspbndenc chs champion, and Dr. Campbell. Whit.

In every amateur sport in England there la stagnation. Every member of the Twickenham Rowing club's crack eight that rowed for the Thames cup at Henley last month Is serving his country today. Except that the choicest piece of turf about forty yards square is fenced off as sscred from the hoofs of their horses, bat teries of horse artillery are camped all over Kennlngton Oval, the famous cricket ground of southwest London, and so it Is all over England. engage In his first battle, sine he ac quired the title, right here In this city. Manager Harry Pollok has suggested that Ritchie and White fight It out; then the winner tackle Cross, the victor of the latter bout to be chosen as Welsh's first opponent 1 Ritchie aad White 4 Meet. Ritchie and White hav practically signed for a return meeting at Milwau kee. Meanwhile, Cross Is traversing the country, -meeting any worthy foe and picking up quite a wad of loose currency. Cross is firm In his belief that If given a chano at Wlh th Hebrew race would have a lightweight champion for the flrat time in history. Already great interest Is being mani fested In the doings of the cumbersome fellows. Gunboat Smith will not have to watt long to get Into action, tor be fore he even stepped on Yankee soli he was a recipient of a bevy of Challenges. One of these he can hardly afford to overlook. It Is the one that bears the name of Jeaa Wlllard, the attenuated westerner who la being groomed to take the title away from Jack Johnson. Wll lard, to be seriously considered, must first put Smith out of his path and that Is quite an undertaking for even a fellow of Wlllard' heightb. and heft., Promoters all over "the country have alluring bait out for this match which would be by far the best heavyweight offering in a number of years as. Wlllard and . Smith are universally looked upon as the two leadera of the American heavyweight crop, and a match beeween them would attract quite an assemblage.
