The great French boxer, Georges Carpentier, who is coming to Am- erica is only twenty-three years of age and has been boxing since he was thirteen years of age. A slightly- built lad, then, weighing less than 100 pounds, he amazed all by his wonderful boxing cleverness. Hard- ly a week passed but what he boxed in Paris and in a very short time he installed himself a prime favorite with Parisians, English boxers who were taken over to meet him ad a great respect for the Frenchman's prowess. Unlike other boxers, as he pat on weight, he improved his box- ing knowledge. As a fly-weight he was good, winning the title at that class; as a bantam he was better, defeating all at the weight; the same occurred in the featherweigat class, while as a lightweight he had no peer. It was then that he began to loom up as a world's championship prospect, One after the other he handily defeated Young Nipper, Jack Meekins, George Randall, Frank Loughrey, 8id Stagg, Jack Gold- swain, Sid Burns, Arthur Evenden, all boxers of the first water. He won the European welterweight title by beating Young Josephs, the English champion, in ten rounds, and was the world's champion, when he bested the famous Harry Athletics vs. C.IaC, The exhibition game at the Cric-| ket Field on Monday morning was | listless with many errors and hits. | Towards the end things brightened | up a bit and some excitement was| provided.

This is hailed by the ad-| mirers of the game there as the first step toward putting baseball on! a self-supporting basis. The com-| pany behind the enterprise is the Compania Anonima Stand Base Ball. There are about twenty-five amateur teams in aracas, and most of the smaller cities and towns have two or more clubs. Large crowds | attend the more important games, | but it has not been customary hereto- fore to charge an admission fee. With the erection of the grand stand it is proposed that a league of four best teams of Caracas and two of La Guayra be formed. The spread of baseball in Ven- ezuela means the spread of English | words, for the language of the game there is all in England, although "base hit," "three-baggers," and! "double play," rolled off by tongues| accustomed to the sonorous Spanish might not be readily identified by a Canadian lover of the sport. Base- ball was introduced in Caracas in 1896 by a group of young men who attended school in the United States. Scribes After McGraw. The New York sport writers are determined to make it interesting for J. J. McGraw. They have asked the National League to re-open his case, It will be remembered that Mc- Graw denied uttering remarks credit- ed to him regarding Pres. Tener when brought to task by the league. ---------- "Mike" Doolan, manager of the Rochester Hustlers, is leading Man- ager Lajoie of the Leafs in batting. Doolan's mark is .335 ~t | Lewis in twenty rounds. Help Train Canadian Aviators. Miss Katherine Stinson, the fam- ous young American aviatrix, who re- cently completed a remarkable flight | as an aerial passenger for the Am- erican Red Cross by driving' a Curtiss | machine from Buffalo to Washington in tairty-one hours and forty-five minutes, is well-known in Ottawa. She visited there last year and helped qualify many, Canadian aviators for the Stinson Aviation School at San Antonio. Baseball Briefs Donovan appears to have lost con- fidence in Magee's batting ability. Perhaps Magee can improve on Mille:'s stick work if he gets an opportunity. Connie Mack is building up a formidable pitching staff. Russcl Johnson, Win Noyes and Harry Sei- bo.d are making rapid strides. The rowdies must go! Tener and Johnson are getting after them and the magnates are preparing to heip Donovan's pitchers will be de- livering the goods when the boxmen of other American Ledgue teams are tired out. Walters in right field, with Hen- dry's in centre and Nunamaker catching regularly - would improve the Yankee's stick work no doubt. Peckinpaugh's batting anl field- ing are making him a big card at the Polo Grounds these days. Pat Moran's pitchers are going along finely. He has planned to work Lavender, Rixey, Alexander, Mayer and Oeschger in rotation the rest of the season. If Gowdy and Maranville join the colors next month it will be all over with the Boston Braves. Jawn McGraw, well known for his violet-like modesty, has written a story on "Why I Am Worth $40, 000 a Year." His stenographer re- fuses to tell whether the capital "I" on the machine was worn out. Pittsburgh fans want to have Jim Callahan fired. They have to find a goat ® where in Pitts- burgh, and it might as well be Jim. Jack Dillon has enlisted in the navy instead of the army because he fears rheumatism. Most of these fighters who didn't enlist never even thought 'about rheumatism. Walter Johnson is practicing bomb-throwing. Whether or not Johnson goes to war, it ought to be all right. - Bombs are about the only things that could make Wash- ington win. Honus Wagner got four hits in five times up the other day. Which shows that Honus has lost his bat- ting eye. 2 Yr BRITISH GIRLS ARE FANS THEY ENJOY BASEBALL GAMES PLAYED BY U.S. SAILORS Men Not So Enthusiastic--Game Too Tame For Lovers of Crickét and Football. A correspondent with the Ameri- can destroyer fiétilla at a Britich port Writes: The baseball season is in full swing here. Every American destroyer has one or more teams and the two days weekly when their ship is in port are devoted to industrious practice for the "big series," which is to begin next month for the cham- pionship of the fleet. Three diamonds have been laid out on the top of the clics, overlooking the sea. The scene from home plate on any of these diamonds is pictur- esque enough to inspire a batter to his best efforts. At the right is the sea, stretching in bMie expanse to- wards America. At the left are woods, of a green more vivid than in Amer- ica, just' near enough so that an or- dinary three-base hit will lose itself in the underbrush and lengthen eas- ily into a home run. Behind and in front are stretches of fields with low hedges and stone walks, all ablaze with golden gorse and field flowers. Wear Real Uniforms. There are no grandstands, al- though every game played attracts a fine crowd of spectators from the ships and the towns. The teams wear regular uniforms brought from home, with the names of their ships written large across their chests. The crowd makes itself comfortable on the grass behind the catcher or to- ward first base, where the sea breeze is a little brisker on a hot afternoon. The crowd always contains a good sprinkling of British tars, officers of both navies and town's folk of both sexes. The girls of the village, who probably heard of baseball for the first time when the first destroyer teams began laying out the diamonds are already developing into proficient and critical fans. They take to base- ball as naturally as their sisters on the other side of woe Atlantic. The same can hardly be sad for the men folk, who attend the games because they like "the American boys', but who frankly <an't eee where the games compares in inter- est with football or cricket. Accounts Are Censored. The local newspaper has made one or two attempts to report the after- noon games, but the censor's prohibi- tions against the use of names of men or ships leaves his efforts some- what flat and colorless. Here is one of his attempts: . "An interesting match of baseball was witnessed yesterday by Ameri- can and British officers and men. Play from start to finish was fast. I never saw the catcher muff a single ball, and men and girls stood behind him in a long line, almost absurdly confident of the eagle-like keeness of his eye and sweep of his band. "Balls were lost several times by crashing into the little wecod behind the playing field. Some very er tacular plays were made and the sooring on these made the crowd to cheer. There was ginger in. the game all through. The men wt wielded the bat for the winning team did particularly good work, although the losing team was also good in this respect. The pitchers showed splendid judgment and one of the captains made a nice hit." Larsen to Try Again. The world's record of 6 feet 7% inches made by Clinton Larsen, of Brigham Young 'University, Utah, will not go on the books as a stan- dard mark because it was an exhibi- tion performance. F. W. Rubien, New York, secretary-treasurer of the AAU, received a letter from E. L. Roberts, director of athletics at Brig- ham Young, stated that all the rules of competition were strictly observed, and that the height was correctly measured. It was first taped at 6 feet 8% inches, but when the spirit level was applied it was reduced to 6 feet 7% inches. One the advice of Rubien, Larsen will make a try for the record in reg- ular competition on July 4. Alma Richards, the Olympic champion and formeply of Brigham Young, will be there to extend Larsen. Cannot Box For Money. The Canadian Associated Press un- derstands that a prohibition Has been issued against Canadian soldiers in the British Isles entering boxing com- petions for money prizes after Aug- ust 'first. --_---- heh We Live But Once Let Us'Partake of Earth's Good Things by Smoking.
