Johnson is by no means pace-setter and as Moran doubtless either ran away or came into many a clinch to save himself, it was likely Just as disappointing a match as the papers have made it out. I ODDS LAID AGAINST RITCHIE Betting,' However, Expected to Be Even by Time Men Enter Ring. LONDON. July 4. (Special.) Five thousand to $4000 was laid today on Welsh's beating Ritchie in their con test tor the lightweight championship of the world next Tuesday, but large commissions are forthcoming in sup port of Ritchie, so that in all proba bility when the two men take the ring the betting- will be even.

The sur prising feature is that quite a few of the American fight followers are of the oDlnion that Ritchie will find conal- tions in London so awkward as to in- . .terfere with his chances and that he ."will therefore lose. What little betting there has been in San Francisco this week has been on the score of events. It is the first time that a champion has ever been rated as an even money choice against a contender, wnlch is the best Indication of public sentiment. Taklma North Yakima 2, There is no particular reason why - - Ritchie should be considered the un der dog. Some Eastern critic the other day in a long statement at the end . of which he predicted that Ritchie would lose to Welsh, gave as his reason the fact that infighting will be pro- hibited and the American therefore will '"be at sea. It strikes me that the foregoing critic is far more at sea than the fighter he mentioned. Welsh, if any - thing, is strongest when he can tie 7.', his opponent up in a knot in a clinch - and then thump away with blows that , are not hard, but tantalizing; and, also, Ritchie, unless he has changed rad-. ically in the last two or three months. Two shut-out games were played in Western Trl-State League yesterday. North Yakima Deat Baker 2 to 0, and Pendleton beat Walla Walla 4 to 0. At North Yakima Peterson was a wizard, fanning ten, scattering his hits over four innings and walking but two, with the result that but two Kubs. got as far as second base and none beyond. The Braves scored in the second on a dead ball and two singles. Another run was taken at the fourth sack. With two gone in the eighth. Berry hit one back of the center fielder and got home on It. Cellars walked three and fanned two. The score: - R.H.E.I R.H.E. Baker 0 4 IX. Yakima 2 6 1 Batteries Cellars and Fuller; Peter son and Webb. At Walla Walla the Bears had no chance against Osborne, who allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked four. Leeper and Bridger, while wild scattered their hits, but poor support nd their own weakness in two in nlngs allowed scores. Pendleton scored one in the sixth on Varlan's single. Walker's error, a passed ball and sacrifice fly. In the seventh Naughton walked, Peterson singled, Pembroke went to first on a forced hit and Wal ters' poor throw to home let Naughton is better at a distance than he is when score.

Ritchie is a younger man in the ring than Freddie Welsh and certainly has a harder punch. He is aggressive and as has been said of him, is the nearest approach to Joe Gans of any of the lightweights. Unquestionably he is a clow starter, but that. I fancy, is be .. cause he is inclined to study his op. ponent during those first few rounds The London cables that we have had bo far indicate that Willie has made .decided hit with the English fans, who like his personality and are strong ..for him.

POLO INTEREST ON INCREASE Tourney End Brings Realization Game Is Good One. Portland's first polo tournament of the year is over and Spokane's team returns home the early part of the week well convinced that polo is a good game emd that Portland is due to have a beating before very long. Not any hard feelings merely more Inter est in the game. W. J. Harris is the Spokane man who has carried practically ail the load of the Spokane polo club. For years he has dreamed of that city having a team and when he got a set of young men together, who were enthusiastic enough to take to the game, he took the load of organizing. The majority . of the stable of 17 horses brought here by the Spokane' team are the personal property of Mr. Harris. But now the game is at a point where much of the load will be I taken off the Bands of the father 'of the game. Spokane will stage the Fall tourna ment thiB year, at which about ten teams will be entered. Portland al ready has agreed to - show - up and others from Boise. Vancouver. Victoria and other Canadian cities will be in evidence. The series has done a lot towards encouraging better relations between the Northwest polo clubs. The team which that city sent here will have nothing to fear in the North west tournament. The men on the whole are younger, probably stronger than many of the others, and can be shown nothing in horsemanship. Portland is the present owner of the Northwest cup, having won it up there last year. Portland believes itself to be well able to defend the cup suc cessfully. With such men as played the Spokane series, it would seem to have nothing to fear. The Vancouver polo team will be here the end of the month for a series of four games. This team is an un known quantity this year, and Waverly is figuring on a harder time than it had with Spokane. The men have had more experience. The success of the game is leading the polo committee of the Waverly Club to expect greater things next year in the way of equipment. For one thing, it is planned to construct a grandstand, with boxes and parking space for auto mobiles. The present series showed just how well this could be used. Polo is a great game lor tne specta tors, and this series probably Just whetted the appetite. It is sure to take, and while there are not enough games this eyar to Justify the expense of building a stand, one will be erected next year without doubt.

ALL-HAVE GOOD RECORDS Trio Representing Maxwell Cars Will Come Here From' Tacoraa Speedway and May Add New Laurels In Portland. "Terrible Teddy" Tetzlaff. "Coaloll Billy" Carlson and "Hughie" Hughes are the three pilots who represent the Maxwell team which will be brought to Portland by E. A. Moross to con test for honors in the events to be held at the Rose City Speedway, Saturday and Sunday, July 11 and 12. Tetzlaff Is the monarch of road racing pilots. Although Thomas, in a Delage, won the 600-mile classic at In dianapolis and lowered the reoord for that speedway, Teddy's achievement at Santa Monica, where he established the high mark of 78.81 miles an hour for road racing, remains unapproached. In addition to this free-for-all world's road record, -be is still title-holder ofi the world's stock chassis record of S3.27 miles an hour, made over the same course with his Loster. There is no doubt that Tetzlaff is the most fearless and -daring driver in the country today. He is contin ually taking bold chances. In nearly every race in which he has started since Joining the Maxwell team, the trade papers have commented on his change of style. It has often been said that Tetzlaff was a driver who never took an order or responded to the stg nal to slow up, but whether he Is still the reckless pilot as of yore, flaunting nis chances to the wanton breezes, we shall see when he dashes into high speed next week. "Teddy" Looks Part. In a racing car Tetzlaff possesses every characteristic of a great pilot. Of rugged features and sturdy build, he is the personification of power. He has always shown a desire to get Into a desperate brush with a fellow driver, and it has been said that if David I Bruce Brown, in the race at Milwaukee, had not been chasing his Fiat partner. Tetzlaff, he would not have met with the mishap that re sulted In his death. Perhaps the least known here of the Maxwell drivers Is Billy Carlson. He and Bragg apd Wishart are among the professionals who race for sport. He is the son of a wealthy man and drlvek only for love of the game. Carlson also is one of the youngest drivers now before the American public and the apellation "Coal Oil Billy" was at tached to him when he became iden tified with the Maxwell, the first car burning kerosene to ever compete in a race of importance. In the 500-mil race at Indianapolis, after consider able tire trouble, he brought home in the ninth place the first American car to finish, and, as there were but four American cars to complete the grind, this was quite an achievement for Billy. His recent time of 1.29 flat for two miles in the trials at Tacoma should give Portland fans a fair in sight as to what he would do in the heat of battle. Hughca Is Englishman. Smiling Hughie" Hughes, often re ferred to as the dean of racing pilots, is an Englishman who has won his laurels during ten years' driving In America. Hughie came to the United States in 1905 and formed a combina tion with Barney Oldfleld. and, as he drove in many events with Oldfleld at that time, he used the front wheel- driven Christie, and It is a strange co incidence that Oldfleld calls the fast est car of his stable today a Christie, made by the same designer, Walter Christie. The car embodies many of Hughes' ideas, for the clever English man Is an inventor as well as a pilot of motor c-. In 1906 and 1907 Hughes drove many noted cars and in 1908 be came famous throughout the united States as a pilot for Mercer cars. Hughes had a long string of vic tories, among them Important events at Savannah, Elgin, Milwaukee, In dianapolis, Lowell, Atlanta and other places. In 1912 he drove a Mercer at Tacoma and In 1913 a Tilsa over the same course. For two years he has been a free lance, but has tired of it, and now intends to confine his efforts to race-team driving. He will take part fn all important events this sea son, suoh as the races here, with a Maxwell, and in 1915 expects to be a member of the team representing the same car which will invade Europe.
