CARPENTER MAY co
TO GOTHAM TO BOX
Foreign Champion Will Fight in
This Country if He Beats
Willie Lewis.

NEW YORK. April 16.-In the event
that Georges Carpenter. the sensational
boxer OF France. decisively defeats Willie
Lewis In their match in Paris next month,
the Frenchman will come here to fight.
Tom McCarey of Los Angeles. Jimmy
Conroth Of San Francisco and the Gar
den Athletic Club have made big offers to
Carpenter to come to the United States
and box with Mike Gibbons, Jack Dillon
or Frank Klaus, the topnotchers in the
middleweight division.
Dan McKetrick, now on his way to
France, will try to arrange conditions and
bring Carpenter over with him. 1t was
this chance to look after the matches of
Carpenter in this country that sent Nc
Ketrick to Paris. He has great respect
for Carpenter. and he believes Lewis has
seen his best days, and that there is little
or no chance for his fighter to defeat the
Frenchman.
Englfshmen, as well as Frenchmen. be-
lieve Carpenter is the greatest fighter OF
his weight in the world today. Carpen-
tier has been fighting only a trifle over a
year. yet In that time he has gained q
long string OF victories. BY knocking out
Jim Sullivan, the middleweight champion
Of England. in two rounds during a fight
at Monaco, Carpenter earned that title.
AS he had previously gained the French
championship. Carpenter is dual title
holder-the only one in the boxing world
today.

Both the Harvard teams which played
here yesterday showed the class that has
always characterized teams wearing the
crimson and won their games by wide
margins. The base bali nine ran away
with the heretofore invincible Catholic
University aggregation, while the Ia
crosse team administered a severe defeat
to the Maryland Agricultural College
twelve. Harvard won both games in the
easiest kind of manner.
The defeat sustained by Catholic Uni
veFsity was entirely unexpected. 1t was
NOT thought for q moment that the Brook
landers with their star twirler in the box
would be anything other than hard nut
to crack. but the actual experience proved
otherwise. Green. who has failed, but
once before in his college career to hold
an opposing team to a minimum number
Of hits. was unable to hold in check at
all the Harvard batters. They found his
curves so easy that sixteen hits were
registered IN FIVE innings.
Then again just the opposite occurred
in another department of play to what
has generally been the case. The Cath
Ollie University nine has had little diff
but against Harvard it could not get go
ing on the offense and failed TO tally but
twice. While the Harvard twirler did
not seem to have any great amount of
stun on the ball, the Red and Black play
ers were unable to hit him to any extent.
Not to be outdone by the base ball team.
the Crimson twelve walked away with
the Maryland Agricultural College la
crosse team by an eight point margin.
The defeat received by the Farmers was
not so bad. when II il considered that it
was what was expected. Nobody ever
thought that the Farmers had any chance
to win from the veteran team which rep
resented Harvard. and that they did not
have more goals netted against them is
more surprising than that they lost.
Today Harvard will try to make Its
visit here a clean sweep. II the Crimson
can beat Georgetown II will have done
much. because to have defeated two such
ball teams as those which represent the
Blue and Gray and Brooklanders IL not
accomplished every day, especially in the
easy fashion in which the latter was
humbled yesterday.
White will probably be sent to the
mound by the Blue and Gray this after
noon. and 1t is not probable that he will
be hit as effectively as was Green yes
,terday. Anyway 1t il being hoped at

What First-Sackers Cost.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, April 16-For
first baseman, $4,000.
In seven years spent trying to get
first baseman, $4,000.
The management of the Pittsburgh FL
rates makes the offer of $4,000 for
player who can guard the territory
around the initial sack la Ed Honey,
Hal Chase or Jake Daubert, and the
Pittsburgh Pirates have spent $40, 500 try
ing to get q first baseman Of this kind.
This may sound fictitious, and some
may believe that one too many ciphers
appear in the first line, but Secretary
William H. Locke of the Pirates gives
the startling information that If any
minor league magnate can develop
youth about the equal of Honey. Chase
or Daubert, President Dreyfuss will sign
the check for $4,000.
So here is the chance for some minor
league magnate to acquire a small for

and purchase, but the Pittsburgh club

SuperbaS own.
The subject Of paying this fabulous
sum for q first baseman was discussed
by Locke and the why's and wherefores
were made very plain by the shrewd and
smart secretary
IBID the Pittsburgh club really pay
500 for Marty O'Toole?" was asked
Of Locke.
YES: and II there are any more pitch
ers as good as O'Toole. Dreyfuss will
pay $4,000 again." replied Locke.
Why One Man Is Best.
During the past few years we have
paid more than 500. 500 for pitching ma
terial, and haven't a single twirler out
of the lot to show for our money" con-
tinued Locke. Experimenting is costly
these days. and to pay a big price for one
who is certain to make good is the best
policy in the long run.

a player to fill his shoes. and not until

AS Locke finished that sentence he

memorandum was the list of players who
have been tried by the Pirates since
