World's Lightweight Champion Seventeen Alleged Grievances
Defends His. This in
Garden, 1 Tonight
Willie'lthchie, holder of the world's
lightweight championship, will make
his first appearance in New York this
evening in a ten round glove light with
‘lieach Cross. The match calls for 135
pounds, weighing all) p. m., and each
man has $1,000 posted to make this
limit. There is so much interest in
the scrap that the managers expect a
packed house which will pleld more
than $20,000 in receipts.
‘Ritchie has been an object of curios-
ity ever since he won his title from Ad
~2Wolgast on a foul in sixteen rounds in
' San Francisco a year ago. His subse-
quent victory over Joe Rivera. who was
stopped in the tenth round before a
Frisco club added to his prestige, but
since then he has been sharply scored
for his failure to go through with the
Freddie Welsh match in Vancouver.

Tonight's bout was arranged :by
Matchmaker Gibson with the belief
that Cross would prove a dangerous
antagonist and in this contention Gib-

shrewd followers of «boxing. Cross is

Cross has suffered but one knockout
in his long career. Fighting Dick Hy-
land, a second rater, stopped him in
forty-one rounds at Colma, Cat, sever‘

on points Cross has earned fame by
whipping other good men decisively.

when Cross competed with his deadly

Can Cross land on Ritchie's jaw?
That is a question sporting men have
been asking for some time. There is
no doubt that Cross is a hard hitter.
but he has never shoivn much in this
line in bouts with clever boxers. hit-

Placed Before the Major and
‘ Minor League Governors
o... u... weave—AM
David L. Fultz, president of the
Baseball Players' Fraternity, made
public for the first time yesterday a
list of seventeen requests for the ad-
justment of alleged wrongs, which he
has filed with the National Commis-
sion and the National Board, the lat-
ter being the minor leagues' court of
appeals. Fultz also has died a list of
explanations. clearly drawn together
with the brief statement:
"litany of the things asked .by the
fraternity are already accorded the
players Dye few of the owners. which
shows very conclusively the justice of
them. Mr. Herrlnann. Mr. Johnson
and 'Mr. Lynch are reported to have
said that the requests are equitable,
so we are expecting no serious opposi-
tion." ~
The first request covers the uncondl- »
tlonal release of a major league player
after receiving the usual ten day's no-
tice. Under present conditions a play-
er cannot accept an offer of $500 a
month from a club in the other major
league if a club in his own circuit sees
fit to offer him $200 a month. The fra-
ternity contends that an unconditional
release should make the player a free
agent. in the minor leagues the some
alleged unfair conditions exist: the
point being raised that in spite of the
afoot» that his contract has been termin-
ated and he draws no salary he is forc-
ed to remain idle for ten days unless
some other club happens to want him.
Request No. 2 calls for a ten days'
notice of release for players who are
under contract to minor league clubs‘
instead of the discharge of a player
without a moment's warning. The
third demand involves the transfer of
a player either sold or traded. it is
contended that the original contract
signed by him must be assumed as a
whole by his new employer in view or
the club's perpetual right to release
the player at any time. The fraternity
argues that once a player signs at a
certain salary for one season’he should
not be subjected to a cut in pay no
matter where he is sent during that
campaign.
The fourth request relates to the
transfer of a player without informing
him as to the terms of The deal. it In
contended that the phlyer has a right
to know in writing whether he has
been sold outright or In controlled by
an optional agreement. it is pointed
out in the fifth request that a player
must be notified in writing when he
receives his unconditional release , or
when waivers on his services are ask-
ed. ,
Ninety per cent. of the players in
the major and minor leagues did not
receive copies of their contracts that
season, which is the basis for Request
No. ii. in the seventh demand the fre-
ternity insists that all written caree-
ments, whether included in a formal
contract or not. shall be binding on
both club and player.
All clubs are notified in the eighth
demand that they must pay for play»
and uniforms. exclusive of shoes. it
is shown that in the National league
each player pays $30 to his employer
for two uniforms and that when he is
traunferred two or three times in a
single season he is forced to make od-
dltlonal payments. it is allowed that.
in numerous cases players who have
paid for new uniforms have been torn
nlshod with second-hand suits, while
others have been compelled to borrow
uniforms from team. min.
The freiernity's ninth request cov-
era the payment of a player's traveling
expenses from his winter home to the
truining camp. where he usually works
for six weeks without salary. The
tenth demand oelid’tor apoualty in the

The fraternity asks that a player who
has served ten years in the majors or
tWelve years in the minors'shall re-
ceive his unconditional release so" that
he will the unhampered in his eiforts
to secure another position. C. W.
Murphy’s .. treatment of ’Moredcai
Brown, the former Cub pitcher, last
year. is a case in point.
lAccdrdlng to Request No. 13, clubs
in future must not be allowed to with‘
draw requests for waivers. in the
fourteenth clause the demand is made
for a written notice to a player who is
fined or suspended. setting forth the
reasons for the penalty. The sixteenth
demand makes it compulsory for each
club to provide a darts green back-
ground in centre field in. order to pro-
test batsmen from pitched balls.
The most radical demand, which
winds up the list, relates to the waiver
rule and probably will cause serious
friction with; the club owners. It calls
for the asking of waivers by maior
ieagup clubs right down through the
varldns minor league classes instead
of sending a, drafted or purchased
player directly back to his original em~
ployer. Fultz explains this demand as
follows:
“The object. which we are trying to
bring about is that a player should be
allowed to stay as high in his profes-
sion as he can find employment. We
concede organised balls right to trade
or sell a. player, but we deny its right
to send him to a lower classification
at aigreat loss to his reputation simply
to strengthen some team which a ma-
lor league club owns or because it
can get a certain player for him when
there are other teams in the higher
classification which would be glad to
obtain such a player."
The National Board will review the
fraternity’s demands informally during
the annual conference of the minor
leagues. which begins in Columbus.
Ohio. today. The National Commis-
sion will not take action until January.

NEWARK, Nov. 10.——The riders who
took part in the Boston six day cycle
race which ended Saturday night re-
turned to Newark yesterday afternoon
sore in mind and‘body. Many of them

That an open challenge to wrestlers
is like shaking a red rag at a bull is
proved by the prompt reply of Jack

ing’s papers in which all wrestlers are
invited to attend the Forty-fourth
street Music Hall fora bout with two
Japanese wrestlers. These some and
jitsu artists will allow the ordinary
wrestlers to use any style and Curley
thinks that in Alexander Abel's of Fin-
land he has a manthat can prove his
assertion that the American style is
superior to that of the “Far East.
As the announcement on the part of
the Japanese does not. mention any inn
ducement Curley looks on it as a bluff,
but he is prepared to call it Abel-g

made so much money that he can ur-
ford to give New Yorkers a free show

ger. ‘Alberg has iwon three consecutive
championships in the St. Petergburs “
tournament, two tournaments in Mos- '
cow. others in Cologne. Goetheburg.

1108 ANGEMDS. Nov. 10.—-In a scrap-

first time on the trip. Magee’s bobble
in the seventh when he threw the ball
toward Do'nlin after he had taken care
of Speaker’s ily led up to the tie score.
Lee thought it was third out, and as
two were on buses lboth scored. lPre-
vlous to that Thorpe had let a ball get
by him and another tally had crossed
the plate.
Tesreuu had been pitching airtight
ball for the Giants until the fifth, when
he was nicked for two singles, which
were gogd for one run. In the eighth
Schaefers double and singles by Ev-
ans and Schalk had made it two more.
Then Manager Callahan pushed a sin-
gle to centre, which tied the score.
The Giants started after Leverena
from the ilrst, although a triple by Lo~
bert in the :llrst was wasted. In the
second four hits made an equal num-
ber of runs. Then three more singles
