THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX, PORTLAyP, AUGUST 16. 1914. RITCHIE BAG WILL REST FIRST OF ALL Californian Returns $40,000 Richer and Turns Down September Fight Dates. WELSH'S COMING DELAYED Corf roth Notified Champion Will Not Defend Title Here Vntil October. Defeated Native Son Says Film Is in His Favor. BY HARRY B. SMITH. -SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 15. The re turn of 'Willie Ritchie to San Francisco after three months away from home, during- which period he had two matches and enriched himself by $40, 000. even though the title passed from his hands, has not stirred the pugilistic pot to any extent. Coffroth had been figuring: on the possibility of matching Kitchle with Charlie White for one of the September holidays, preferably Ad mission day. Ritchie put the damper on such a programme, straight off the bat. by announcing that he would not be ready for ringwork before the lat ter part of September or the first of October. a cablegram from Harry Pollock an nouncing mat vveisn win not arrive in America to defend his title until late in October. White, of course, can be used but there ns no blg opponent to go against him and 'Coffroth can hardly arrange H. inaiuil or nuy Break im portance. Speaking frankly, White does not see what is to be gained by meet ing the Harlem Tommy Murphys, the j ranKie surnses or tne neo v-musuus. II. . U 1,1. Knnlrn4knntr a 1 i , , I A Jit 1 1 1 a.

Ritchie, however tempting the offers, believes that a rest is just the thing I. - nn.'n 1 Ha ImmAllllltA f 11 1 11 T"P He explains that he has been a decidedly Dusy Doy lor tne last six iiiuiilho aim feels, for that reason, he is entitled to a rest. With that In view, the ex-champlon of the world left Saturday of this week for the mountains in Northern Cali fornia. With friends, who are making the hunting trip, he will seek elusive deer or angle for finny beauties In the mountain streams for at least a fort night. He is going to be 90 miles away from a railroad, from newspapers and the like, all ot which means an abso lute change. That plan will bring him back into San- Francisco the first of September, and it Is possible he will take a ma chine trip to Lake Tahoe for a couple of weeks. As regards his plans, the Californian says; "Had I been knocked out by Welsh, or even beaten, I wouldn't care. I would take my hat off to him as the better man. But nothing of the sort happened. I was astounded at the de cision by Corri. Deep down in my heart I know that I was entitled to the de cision, and surely the very worst that I should have had was a draw. I don't believe Corri wanted to do the wrong thing, but feel he was influenced by the cheers of Welsh's supporters. . Pictures Held as Proof. "The pictures would prove this easily, and had it been possible for me, to brinu a set of films to America, there would be no need for me to make any ex planations, since the pictures would speak for themselves. Of course, I want another chance at Welsh Just as soon as the opportunity offers. In the uondon fight he did nothing but hold nd run. Why, in America I firmly " believe that such a contest as we put up would have been called 'no con test." -If Welsh doesn't want to give me a return match, then I will take on White, or anyone, where there is money. As long as there is big money to be made I will stay In the game. When the money peters out it Is high time for me to quit. Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee promoter, talked with me while in Chi cago and suggested several matches that he would like to stage. Philadel phia and New York promoters also de sire to have me appear. It will be en tirely a case of the best proposal that is submitted." Ritchie left Emil Thlery, his trainer, et home in Chicago. Thiery is not to v, nff.iinded with a manager and is not under permanent salary. It is simply a case of paying the Chicagoan for his work whenever his services are required. Since Thiery has nothing else to do. he is glad, of course, to pick up the extra work whenever the oppor tunity affords. Trainer, Not Manager, Wanted. There has been some talk to the ef fect that Ritchie might join hands again with either Harry Foley or Billy Nolan, both former trainers. Ritchie says there is absolutely nothing to the talk, that he would not consider either man. In fact, he admits that he doesn't need nor want an out-and-out man ager, but merely some one to look after bis training. Charlie White didn't cover himself with any particular glory In his bout against Joe Azevedo. It is quite true that Azevedo was so weakened by the 18th round that Referee Jim Griffin very properly stopped the contest. At the same time. White's performance was extremely disappointing. Azevedo, to be plain, is not to be ranked as first chop stuff and White ought to have beaten him long before the end came. Charlie maintained at the finale that be had injured both hands, which would account, he said, for his lack of punching power, but that excuse Is taken more in the nature of an alibi thnn anything else. The Easterner was regarded before the fight aa having considerable class. In the bout he practically insisted upon Azevedo doing the leading, that he might counter. Time, and again he landed flush to Azevedo's jaw or to his body with the left hook, but there was never a time In all the match when he stood a chance of scoring a knock down. M . . White had too much class for his op ponent and won Just about as he pleased. That's the story In a nutshell. "Dope" Suspicion Asserted. Azevedo's manager started a story the day following the bout that he be lieves his boy had been "doped. or that an effort had been made by Oak land gamblers to see that Joe was not right. Rohan had nothing but his sus picions to back up such an assertion, but he was sufficiently Impressed, it appears, to discharge Kid Parker, who had been doing the training, and to re fuse Parker the right of seconding Azevedo in his corner. The cases where fighters have been "doped" are so few and far between that it doesn't seem likely anything of the sort was attempted. However. It Is quite true that some of the gamblers bet heavily on the guess that White would stop Azevedo and accordingly were jubilant. . White created so little of a favorable impression that it wouldn't surprise me. in the event of his being matched with Ritchie at a weight suitable to the Californian. to see Ritchie an over whelming favorite in the betting. Per sons who were at the ringside the other night simply couldn't understand how it was that White ever beat Ritchie in Milwaukee as had been reported.

Rodes also says that he may bring Cochran, a football man of more or less glory at Annapolis, while Rodes was there. Cochran was not a flrBt strlng man, but Rodes says he would prove a mighty valuable addition to the squad. ' . McRae and Hickson Lost. The principal losses to the team prob ably will be McRae and Hickson. The latter recently joined the benedicts and believes he will keep off the sawdust for the time being.

CHESS SCORES RECEIVED GERMAN TOURNAMENT IS CUT SHORT BY MOBILIZATION. Rudolph Splelman Wins Two Games by Out-Combining Powerful Play ' er. Dr. Tarrasch. From out of Germany come the scores of some of the earlier games played in the international masters' tournament of the German Chess As sociation held at Mannheim and which was cut short by the mobilization of the Kaiser's forces. Necessarily, these scores will be scarce, unless a few more get over here by way of Eng land. Two of the games won by Rudolph Splelman, of Munich, winner of the gambit tournaments at Abbazia and Baden, are especially interesting. This dashing player beautifully out-combined so powerful an opponent as Dr. Tarrasch and. in -the other game, against Flamberg, of Warsaw, he com pletely smashed that Russian center by sacrificing a knight.

Morrison At Fourth FOOTBALL IS NEAR Guides Just Out Declared to Be Most Accurate. FEW CHANGES RECORDED Xo Changes Made This Year In Con ference Coaches In Xon-Confer-ence Circles Successor to Dr. Sweetland Is to Be Chosen. An unfailing sign of the approach of Fall Is the, appearance of the 1914 foot ball guides containing the official rules. Usually the guides put out by the American Sports Publishing Com pany are a fierce mess of mistakes and misprints, but the football book for 1914 appears to be an exception. The principal changes in the 1914 football code are summarized as fol lows: The last privilege of the head coach has been removed and in 1914 no one will be allowed to walk up and down the side lines. Those who witnessed one of the prin cipal Eastern games of 1913 will re member the safety made by a player caused by the failure to diagnose be tween an ordinary punt in the field of play and a free-kick hitting the goal post. In order to have no complication of this kind arise again, the rules have been altered so that a free-kick hitting the goal post and boundirfg back into the field of play becomes automatical ly a touchback just as though it was an ordinary punt. J The field Judge Is to be brought back (optional) to act as assistant to the referee and linesman in the big games. This was voted by the rules committee, although, on account of the expense in small games, the addition of this of ficial is left optional. The words "running into the full back after a kick" have been changed to " 'roughing' the kicker," etc., in : order that a man coming through and trying to block the kick will not neces sarily incur a penalty if he happens to run against the kicker.

GW 191 4 kupiW-ssJ Ralston Fall Shoes We're ready with the smart est new Fall shapes in the famous Ralston Shoes, for all men who desire comfort as well as style and good looks. Step in and see these new ones at $4, $5 and alty on a man who roughs a man who has Just made a forward pass. A forward pass that goes out of bounds either on a fly, direct, or after being touched by an eligible player of either side, goes to the opponents. It has also been determined that the receiver of a forward pass In the end zone, regardless of the position of his hands and the ball, must have both his feet within the end line or side line to make the catch legal. Kick-Out Eliminated. One of the most Important changes Is the cutting out of the kick-out. After a touchback or a safety, the ball must always be scrimmaged on the 2,0-yard line. Another Important alteration is de signed to prevent a man taking ad vantage of the rules when he finds himself attempting to make a forward pass and forced back. The trick was cleverly worked last year of throwing the ball to the ground and thus, by the loss of a down, having the ball go back to the place where It was scrimmaged. This is now prevented by a 10-yard penalty, measured from whore the ball was put in play, against any man thus intentionally grounding a forward pass. In the case of a player out of bounds when the ball was put in play, the play la not made over again, but a five- yard penalty Is exacted. "Hiding" on the side lines is classed under unsportsmanlike conduct. Teams no longer will be allowed to encroach upon the neutral zone In mak ing shift plays. As soon as either team is lined up on the offensive, any shift must be made without a player pass ing into this neutral zone under a pen alty of five yards. "Tripping" Made Plainer. A clause Is Inserted to Include "trip ping by hand" under the rule of trip ping, which formerly only covered "tripping with the foot and leg. In Northwest conference circles no changes will be made this year In the coaching personnel. Uoble remains at Washington, Johnny Beuder at Wash ington State, "rink" Griffiths at Idaho, Archie Hahn' at Whitman, Dr. K. J Stewart at the Oregon Agricultural College and Hugo Beidek at Oregon. At Willamette University, champion of the non-conference division, a new coafh is to be welected, and It Is un derstood that Forrest Smithson has made application for the Job as ath letic director. Smithson la the famous hurdler and all-around athlete who wore Multnomah Club colors at the London Olympiad, and set a new world's record in the high timbers.
