Marty Krug haa aeen th error of hie

the ball playera will not have anything

SATS CHICK VIOLATED LAW
Chick Antra?, Omaha boy, who la eon.
aldereble Claa AA first baseman, haa
started a flrat-olaaa mlxup In th elrclea
ot organised baa ball.
Mr. Autry haa won two pennant for
two cluba In two different league thla
yaar. When Minneapolis In th Amerloan
association waa In dlr need of a first
acker, Autrey Joined th Millar and th
Millar promptly atarud on their spurt
toward th rag, which they vantually
copped.
When th American association season
closed Chick went out to th coast, wher
San Franclaoo was leading the loop, but
lipping. Th Seals war Just getting
ready to allp Into second place, when
Chick appeared en the ona and algrved
up to occupy th first sack. Beatty and
Meloan, regular 'Frtsoo Initial aaek
guardian, wer falling down en th Job
woefully.
So Wolverton signed Chick and pat hlra

Into th team by hla sensational fielding,
bUt hla pinch hitting won at taast four
distinct games, and th Seal, wen th
pennant by less game than that. He
also did considerable slugging In other
game.
When San Francisco took Autrey It 1
claimed he was a free agent, having had
a non-reserve clause contract with Minne
apolis. Now bla nam appear on th
Minneapolis reserve list for the coming
season and th eoest la up In th air.
Salt Lake waa a few games behind the
Seals la the pennant race and It la agreed
lalt Lake would have copped the flag
If Autrey hadn't saved the day for the
exposition village. There I a rule et the
national association that no player who
haa participated In one championship
race ahall Join a club In another leagu
for the purpose of taking part In another 1
championship race. The rule also says j
contests In which auch player partici
pated ahall be forfeited. ,

FREDDIE TO RETIRE IN YEAR
Lightweight Champ Says He'll Quit
the Squared Circle Within
Another Tear.
WHICH IS 0HE YEAS TOO 'LATE
By RINGSIDE.
NEW TORK, Oct 23. Freddie Welsh,
who tapped his way to the world's light
weight championship, haa come out of
his four-month hibernation with two Im
portant announcements. The flint wll)
sadden the hearts of devout fight lovers.
I while the aecond will gladden these aame
' hearts,
In almost the same breath
Frederick taya that he la coming back
to the ring and that he la going to retire
within a year.
The laat portion of the statement
aounda good to the ear. Ah. well. If
Freddie threatens to go on "fighting"
for another year, there Is nothing we
can do but let him; he can't "fight"
more than twelve or fifteen time, during
that period anyhow.
If Fredide were to leave hla return to the
ring to a popular vote, the anawer would
not be pleasing to hla aenaltlve nervea
Ae far aa the fight fane are concerned,
Freddie can etay out of the ring for
another year, and then retire. Which
would be the only way Welsh could re
gain some of his waning popularity.
But wait! Freddie haa another Idea.
Ho fear, that once he retire, he
might be unable to resist the lure of
the ahekel.; and there la nothing Freddie
dreads more than to ''come back" after
he has retired.
Freddie realises that It 1 not going to
be an easy matter to retire. He aaya
that It doesn't seem real to him that
he le going to forsake the ring forever
ln another year. All Welsh wants, be
fore slinking out of the limelight. Is to
collect a few more thousand dollar from
the gulllible public. Then only .will he
be sufficiently reinforced, financially, to
abandon the game he ha. loved so well
for the money In It
Woald Revive Dead Onea.
Welch's ambition Is to go away from
the tnaddlntf throng, and establish him
self ss an honorable keeper ef a sani
tarium. He think, he can build up such
decrepit battlers a Battling Nelson and
Ad Wolgaat, and aend them out after
the lightweight champion Welsh', auc
cesaor, to be sure. Good luck to you,
Freddie; may you realise your ambition
right soon, so that we can glimpse at a
regular fighting lightweight king.
And, holdl Freddie would like to quit
the ring' undefeated. (Hasn't he been
defeated enough alnce he boxed Ritchie
out of the title T) Welah may rest as
sured that he will retire undefeated If he
merely maintain his Insistence on ten
round no-declslon bouts. Freddie Is too
wily a ring general to permit himself
to be knocked out Inside of ten rounds.
Twenty rounds may do the trick, but no
one will ever get the chance to take
Freddie over the route not If Freddie
can help It.
One thing we can say ln favor of Fred
die, he has never been connected with
4 any shady dealing in his bouts so far
as we know. Many of hla "battles"
