SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Wh!le tt
can hardly be said that the San Fran-
sco sports have tired of the four-round
phase of pugilism, it is very evident that
there Is a demand for something more
pretentious in the war of glove contests.
For months past the handlers of pugilistic
-matches have laid back and given the
managers of the Friday night shows the
right-of-way. Now, however, there are
signs of an awakening, and it is on the
cards that many important twenty-round
bouts will be arranged for the fall and
winter months.
Promoter Coffroth, who did not bother
himself to any extent about Queenaberry
attractions for quite & while, . has sud
denly busied himself and is sure to be
a keen competitor for anything In the
shape of a match that is worth grabbing.
Coffroth, who controls the only boxing
plant worth while in San Francisco and
who Is a! eo owner of an arena across the
county line, will iter to his patrons on
two separate occasions In early September.
For Labor day, September 2, he has Jim
Flynn and Charlie Miller, a brace of
heavyweights, who will furnish the main
event of an afternoon of boxing at Daly
City.
For Admission day, September 9, he has
signed Willis Ritchie and "One-Round"
Hogan and will present them to the pub
lic at the Eighth Street arena, In the
heart of San Francisco.
Harlem Tommy Murphy was Coffroth'i
first choice as an opponent for Ritchie,
but Tommy's business affairs in New
Torlc kept him from giving definite in
formation as to the time of his arrival
on the const Coffroth decided that ft
fighter In hand was. worth two In the
east That is how Hogan came to get
the match.
What Saa Fran Wants,
From a Ban Francisco standpoint It
looks as though Hogan and Ritchie will
psove a more attractive card than Ritchie
and Murphy. Hogan and Ritchie are Ban
Francisco products and are graduates of
the fniji-round school.
Naturally there is ft keen rivalry be
tween them. Hogan, despite his mny set
backs, had quite ft following here Until
Willie Ritchie bobbed up and drew at
tention to himself by his creditable show
,ing against Freddie Welsh at Los An
geles. After that Ritchie toured the east
with fair success and then made himself
till more famous by a victory over Joe
IMandot at New Orleans. He crpped it all.
however, when he all but routed Cham
pion Ad Wolgast in a four-round bout in
San Francisco. After the last affair
Ritchie's friends were quick to claim that
Willie held out more promise of becom
ing a champion than Hogan did and this
hurt Hogan's feelings. He said he would
like nothing beiter than to get Ritchie
In ft ring, but as the fates generally or
dain, wnlle Hogan was In San Francisco,
Ritchie was somewhere else, and vice
versa; so it began to look as though the
rival native sons would never bump Into
each other.
Not so long ago it happened that the
old town held them both, and then the
Ritchie and Hogan factions began to
snarl. In the matter of matching the pair,
bne of the four-round entrepreneurs proved
quicker on his feet than the men who ar-
(ran go longer bouts, and the town was sur
prised to learn that the lightweights were
to engage in a short bout at Dreamland
in this city. The news was not very well
received and there was no regret when it
was learned that Hogan had taken ill
and that the four-round bout was can
celled. X.
Coffroth then busied himself ! with s
Tommy-Murphy-Wtllie Ritchie matoh for
Admission Day. It fell through for the
reasons already ; given and Hogan and
Ritchie were signed.
Weights la the Morning.
The weight will be 135 rounds at 10
o'clock In the morning and the liaht-
welghts -smO.lt , enter the ring about i
o clock in the afternoon. ; It is understood
that it was Ritchie who asked for a
few hours leeway after making weight,
and this is taken to mean that Willie
has as much trouble as Packey McFar
land has In keeping in touch with the
jlightwelght limit. '
For. the time being Coffroth is devot
ing his energies to the details of the
n ti .. i mfti, .....
lim r iun-Vnariie oiuier maicn, mat al
ifair being the first event on his new
i schedule. In the bout in question Flynn
terxpecta to dupUcate his .victory ..over
jCftri Morris at Madison Square Garden
but Miller Is very confident he will con
vince Flynn that being a white hope
doesn't always mean being an easy mark.
! If Flynn wins from Miller he will
probably be sent against Tommy Burns
ter ln the year. Burns, who Is now at
Calgary, announces that he Is ready fur
All comers.
1 In ft letter to the writer Tommy says:
,"l have tried myself out and know that
I aim as good as the best of them. If
I get Luther McCarthy or Jim Flynn for
Labor Day, I would take either of them
on in San Francisco. I am very anxious
to box In San Francisco and would like
nothing better than a holidav firht with

u me terms I sent were satisfactory
, I am now waiting for a reply. If John

myself would have the best right to fight

"RED" MORM COMES BACK
New 'York Outfielder More Than
Wins His Home Again.
BEST THKOWER IN THE WOXLD
Deadly Pegs That Pick Off ttaaitn
and Make Opponents Hold to
Bases as If Glued
There.
By W. J. MACBETH.
NEW YORK, Aug. Sl.-Outflelder jack
Murray of the champion Giants is a
bright example of what pluck and deter
mination will do in the face of severest
hostility. Murray is today one of the
idols of th Polo grounds. He is by far
the best outfielder of his team and one
of the very most valuable men working
for McGraw. At the beginning of the
present season "Red Jack ' was a dead
one in the estimation of the ;bugs." The
enthusiasts were riding his neck, rough
shod, crying lustily for his scalp. And 11
because the fiery-thatched young right
gardener had fallen down in the world's
series with the Athletics.
In the lamentable world's series of last
fall Murray was HtU worse than any of
his feilows. Iij fact. If the Giants had
won out he. would have been accorded a
big hero. But defeat was embittered by
the thought that Murray had failed to
get a single bit in the six games played.
He didn't fall to make an error and that's
where the rub came in. To make it
worse for "Red Jack" he was up any
number of times In the pinch; that
brought out his sticking weakness all
the stronger. .
It was freely hinted after the world's
series that McGraw would cut adrift
from Murray, and Indeed Jack himself
expected the ax even after the club as
sembled for spring practice at . Marlin.
Instead of sulking, however, he got out
and hustled all the harder against the
youngsters who were trying to break
into his, preserves. If McGraw had en
tertained any idea of sacrificing "Red"
the notion was soon lost. Murray proved
one of his best men right from the start
of the year.
World's Best Thrower.
It Is doubtful If there Is any better
thrower than Jack in organized base ball.
The American league has some wonders.
Hooper, , Speaker and Lswla of the Red
Sox have deadly arms, one, and all. Ty
Cobb Is possessed of a wonderful wing
and so is Joe Birmingham at the Nans.
Maybe some of these can return the ball
to the piate from a deep field as quickly
as "Red Jack." but ncna of them will
make as many accurate pegs In ten trials.
His deadly accuracy has made Murray
the terror of all opposing base-runners.
Even fast men hesitate about going from
first to; third on ft hit and run play If
ths necessary bingle Soes into Murray's
yard. Still fewer w'lll 'attempt to score
from second on a hit to right, while a
sacrifice fly In Jack's territory has to
be about twice as long as to any other
section of the nasture. The ununnv
accuracy of Murray's wing Is responsible
lor this. He can whistle the ball with
rifle bullet velocity from almost anv
part of his playing territory right to the
piate, more than nine times out of ten.
This Murray has proven to the satfsfao.
tlon of all his opponents and now they
give him a wide berth.
Murray is a good, same fellow. TT.
has proven as much this season. Any-
Speaker Beating Ball in Slide to First
PHOTO TAKEN IN BOSTON A FEW DAYS AGO SHOWING THE BROWNS PLAYING THE SNAPPY GAME THAT
GAVE THE RED SOX BUT FEW CHANCES TO GET AROUND THE CIRCUIT.
BOSTON, Aug. Sl.-Is sliding to first
base on clows ones a good play? Tris
Speaker sometimes does It, and most
fans, especially those of the minor
leagues, say yes. They argue that it
gives the runtvr the advantage of at
least a second and also shows the slider
to be possessed of the proper pep and
fighting spirit, Two men, each repre
sentative In his capacity In the Southern
league, however, condemn the play as a
poor one. These two men are Otto Jor
dan, admittedly one of the best all-round
players who ever donned a Southern
league uniform, and Frank Rudderham,
since Carpenter's departure, the dean of
the umpiring staff.
"A baserunner does not gain time by
sliding Into first," says Jordan. He
lo?s by It In running the body Is car
ried well forward and the leg advanced
as much as possible to tak the bag.
When , the runner slides, . however, he
must slow up and bring both feet to
gether before he can throw himself for
ward for the elide. In doing this he loses
a whole step. No man can slide directly
from his stride. He must stop and bring
his feet together,
"The bolief that sliding helps the base
runner an.ies from the fact that it is
universally employed as an aid in sliding
into the other bags. It Is an undisputed
fact that a slide into second or third is
absolutely Indlspensible. But bear this
fact In mind, the runner hits the dirt
not to help him beat the ball to the bag,
but to evade the tag. A man can steal
second or third when the ball beats him
a full second, but at first he must actu
ally beat the ball."
body under the hammers of the bleachers
who can go out and make the fans' doff
their sky-pieces In admiration has to be
possessed of great gameness as well as
great .merit. Probably the best way to
explain "Red's" former shortcomings is
to refer to him as a hard luck player.
When he hit safely Invariably there
would be no one on the sacks. When he
fanned, the bases were generally full.
When he booted one it let in ft run or
two, usually they were the fatal runs
that decided the pastime.
But this year Is a new page in Mur
ray's history. He apparently has out
lived the little idiosyncrasies of the past
He has been one of the main cogs of
McOraw's champion pacemaker , and . If
a second pennant la unfurled at the
Brush stadium no one will have had a
greater part in bringing it to New York.
Murray- is playing the game of his life.
He is one of the best pinch hitters on
the team. He Is one of the best base
runners. Both defensively and offen
sively he has had more spectacular
achievements than any other Giant.

Lew Richie, Giant Killer j
i v v . s
... 1 $
Comedian Lew Richie, who most famous
Joke la his record In defeating the Giants
in six out of seven games In 1311 and in
six out of seven In 1912 so far. He
pitched twenty-nine Innings against the
New Yorkers two weeks ago, winning
three games and allowing seven runs.
For years Chance has been fortunate
enough always to have available some
one pitcher against whom the Giants
might battle through game after game
without making any Impression that could
be noticed. .
For ft long time Jack Pfelster and Miner
Brown were sure-thing bets any time
they started against the Giants. Pfelster
lingered In the league for two years after
he had passed . his greatest usefulness
solely on account of his ability to block
the Giants at each and every turn.
They finally got to htm one day at the
Polo grounds and gave him an unmerci
ful beating. Within a few days waivers
were asked and received and the "Giant
kilter" drifted back to the minors.
But when Pfelster had , passed and
Brown was on the wane, there appeared
one Richie, a curve ball pitcher without
much of a curve and no speed to speak
of. All he has ever had was passing good
control and the Giants' "goat" For two
years now this Richie bloke has been to
the Giants a Pfelster and a Brown in
There Isn't another club In the National
league that he can beat with aAy degree
of consistency. ' Every time he wins ft
game from any ; other club than New
York It Is because he has received phe
nomenal fielding and lusty batting sup
port It Is common gossip among Na
tional league players that Just as soon as
the Giants "get" to Richie he will go the
war of Pfelster. 'v
There Is nothing In his ' pitching, the
Giants claim, that should not be easy to
hit hard and often. Which may or may
not be true. But whether It la or Is not,
the fact remains that the Cubs have won
eleven games from the Giants this sea
son, six of them with Richie In the box.
He la the only Chicago siabster capable
of going the route against the champs.
Others are lucky to keep going five or
six Innings against the driving McGraw
attack. .-' -: , -
Some day Richie will have an awful
drubbing handed, to him by those Giants.
Alexander, Moore. - Keefe, Covaleskl,
Brown. Pfelster and several others trav
eled far against the Giants, but sooner or
later they all got it McGraw and his
accomplices look- forward to the time
when It will be their great pleasure to
drive Richie back , to the minors with ft
storm of base hits. .'. .
This season he has won more games for
his club and lost fewer than any of his
fellows. In short he has generally been
at his best in the pinch.
' There la the Pinches.
The most beautiful part of Murray's
work this year la that he Is supreme In
emergencies. No outfielder has cut down
more runners at the piate. No gardener
has Instilled more respect on the part
of base runners in the matter of taking
changes of advancing on long flies. No
fielder has taken more desperate chances
when the game" hung In the balance. It
takes .nerve to play for what appears an
almost Impossible out when a failure at
that out means a long hit. But "Red"
has never. hesitated about accepting the
gieater responsibility. He has lost some
games by taking long chances Instead of
playing safety, but for every game he has
blown he has saved several. The fans
appreciate - this fact I
Murray kept the Giants in the thick
of the fight when his associates were
stale and almost ready to give up the
ghost His sensational work against the
Cubs saved the Giants from complete
annihilation in the. last series in Chicago.
Had he gone the way of the rest of Mc
Graw's slipping legion nothing could have
prevented the final trip through the west
developing into an -titter rout
Murray should be a big factor lu this
fall's world's series if the Giants have
the honor of representing the National
league. He has wiped out whatever stain
attached to his performance against the
Athletics. ; But if he should fall to reach
first in the big show also, no one would
have any license to chide him. His work
this season speaks for itself. There is no
question of gameness in Murray's
makeup.
Often the greatest stars prove the big
gest disappointments in world's series. It
was so for three years In the case of Ty
Cobb of the Tigers. Yet no one ever
questioned the ability or integrity of the
Georgian Peach. Fandom may rest as
sured that, no matter what happens in
the future, "Red" Murray will always be
trying his level best. What athlete can
do more?

NEW YORK, Aug. .-Notwlthstand-
lng the recent announcement from abroad
that the Australian cricketers, now in
England,, had decided to abandon their
tour of America, It transpires that they
will come after all, and tn fact actually
have booked their passage on the steam
ship Olympic, scheduled to sail for this
port on September 18. Robert B. Ben
jamin, the manager of the Australians,
is now In this city and stated that he had
olosed negotiations for three engagements
In Philadelphia, Including two matches
against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia
on September 27, 28 and 80 and October i
6 and 7, tn addition to a two days' match
With tho Philadelphia Colts
Base ball, which was Introduced to
Australia by Anson's team twenty-three
years ago. has had much to do with mak
ing the Australians now in England ft dis
tinctive team. In fact, Australians may
fairly be said to have been Inoculated with
the base ball game. It was their brilliant
fielding which caused King George of
England to express the wish to meet the
Australians of liiX and this ha did dur
ing the test match at I.ord's, on which
occasion he shook hands with all the play
ers and congratulated them upon their
exceptional work In the field. Although
the princes of Wales frequently have
been in the habit of attending, this was
the first time that the international
matches had been graced by the presence
of the king.,,. ' , v
.According' to Manager Benjamin, the
Australians constitute the finest fielding
team the world has ever produced. Bo
confident Is' he of the abtl ty of the
men under his charge that He went to the
length of asserting that he would not
fear their chances In a base ball game
against any team 'la this country. When
hla attention was called to the fact that
this was . a pretty strong statement to
make he added that he had witnessed one
of the games between the Giants and
Athletes la?t yenr. and thought he knew
what he "was talking about In case such
a game . could be an ansted when the
Australians are here Mr. Benjamin said
he would make on'.y only one stlPtilaton
In view of the fact that his proteges had
been handling the willow steadUy for the
last six months. That Is, he' proposes
that each side, the Australians and what
ever team may be opposed to them, use
cricket bMs instead of base ball bats In
such a game. - ; "
, To auch nn extent h base. ball been
popularised In the Antipodes, . says the
manager, that the cricketers, one and all.
obtain thnlr training, by playing base ball
regularly during the winter months. Base
ball Is played there right after the foot
ball matches. This Is the real secret of
the marvellous progress that has been
made In the art of fielding, which has
opened the eyes of all .Englishmen, in
cluding the king. Mr. Benjamf thinks
that Americans likewise will sit up and
take notice when the Australians p.ay
here. Every one of them, he - says, is
capable of throwing down the wicket for
a distance of fifty yards five times out
of six.
Those of the team who are regarded as
the base ball stars are R. B. Minnett, T.
J. Matthews, W. Bardsley, D. Smith,
J. W. McLaren. W. Carkeek and C.
Kelleway. The other members of the
team are S. E. Gregory, the captain, who
was In this country with the Australian
team in 1896; J. J.' i Whltty, the finest
amateur boxer In Australia;. B. Jen
nings, vice captain; H. Webster, S. H.
Emery, C. G. Macartney, G. R. Haslltt
and F. R. Mayne.
Matthews has been the star bowler of
the tour and in one of the test matches
against South Africa he performed the
"hat trick" in 'both innings. In due
course the Australian trundler was made
the recipient of over 400 hats, of which
a lot of sixty came to him all the way
from Australia. The Antlpodians have
cut a number of matches in Scotland In
order to return home by way of America.
Pitchers are Traded.
Beatrice and Hiawatha in the Mink
league have traded pitchers, the former
taking Riley, a right-hander, and giving
Hiawatha steltz, southpaw, in exchange.

While all Old Sores are not cancerous In their nature, every slow heal
ing1 nicer shows a degenerated condition of the blood. Virulent impurities
in the circulation produce angry, discharging ulcers, while milder and more
inert germs are usually manifested in the form of - indolent sores or dry,
scaooy places, snorts 10 neai an oia sore witn exter
nal applications always result in failure because such
treatment does not reach the blood. S. 8. S. heals old
sores of every nature by purifying the blood. It goes
to the fountain-head of the trouble and drives out the
germ-producing poisons and morbid impurities which
prevent the place from healing. Then a stream of
rich, nourishing blood, which S. S. S. creates, causes
a perfect and natural knitting together of all flesh fi
bres, making a thorough and permanent cure. The
sore does not "come back" when S. S. S. has made a cure, because its
source has been destroyed. Book oa sores and ulcers and medical advice free.
