FRENCH BOXING CHAMP IS SNAPPY IN DRESS

New York, Sept. 2s.-George Carpen- tier, the French boxer, is an awful hit in Paris because of his unusual sarto- rial proclivities. That is to say, he's very dressy. Abroad it is the custom to run Carpenters picture in the mag azfnes- calling attention to his lovely clothes rather than his build or shifti- ness. He also has the advantage of being handsome rascal, which seems to go a long way in winning the ador- ation of the frails.
 Carpenters taste in clothes is said to be unirnpeachabIe and he always wears the. latest style collars. In the gay city, of course, this is a large item. Carpenter is champion of France and, notwithstanding his cul- tured advanced styles, he is a great fighter. He is said to be a flash for speed, with lots of pluck and the abil- ity to take a great deal Of punish ment,

SWAIN MADE 100
 HoMERs N MINORS

Victoria, B. C., Sept. 23.-Ping Bo- dis home run record, which the White Sox outfielder established in '910, just before he went to the American Lea que, has been broken. In that year Ping made thirty homers; but Charley Swain, the big outfelder of the Vic torfa club, has gone Ping better so far. Swain has cracked out thirty-three to date, and moreover, in the last eight years that he has been on the coast Swain has madea1OO homers. He has a batting average of .277 for eight years, a fine figure for the minors.
 Strangely enough, Swain has not bounded out home run in. the Port land park. He has poled over the Tacoma fence, II over the Seattle right and left field fences, 2 over the Vancouver entertainments, over the 350-foot Spokane walls and 13 over the Victoria centre field fence.
 He hit three home runs in a sin gle day in Seattle, late in the 1911 sea- son.
 The victoria centref1eld fence is about 27O feet from the home plate. The Seattle right field fence is 237 feet. The Spokane Recreation Park fence is 325 feet to the left field cor ner, probably $40 feet where Swain put it over on Sept. 3, more than like ly his longest hit this year. The Ia coma left field fence is about 300 feet.
 In his long baseball career Swain has made 100 home runs 195 dou- bles and i94 triples In two seasons he has led all Northwestern League players in home runs, in two seasons he has led them all in three base hits.

sPAI'' BROWN HAS
 TOUGH JOB AHEAD
Young Westerner's First Go In The Antipodes To Be With The Champion.

Pal Brown, the Minnesota light weight, who went to Australia recently under contract to Snowy Baker, prop rietor of the Sydney Stadium, has ar rived on the Island Continent down under" and has been given the hard est kind of task for his opening bout Pal has been matched with the Australian champion, Hughey Niche gan, for his first contest, to take place in October, the distance being 20 rounds Pal likes the rough route, so he will not be at any disadvantage in that respect However, it is usual for the Australian promoters to match the foreign fighters with men of less than championship timber s for the opening battle, so as to introduce them to. The fans, but in this case they have given Brown the toughest nut to crack in all the Antipodes. Me hogan is certainly a great little fight CT, as he proved in his matches with Matt Wells and Freddy Welsh in Eng land and if the Minnesota boy can Mold his own there he will certainly ,7e accomplishing all and more than his friends can ask for A cablegra m from Sydney tells of the match and sdds that Brown has madesa splendid impression by his manly stytle. There are numerous fighters from America and England in Australia at present, so that the business must be pretty good or they would not be anxious to remain there.

HEINIE WAGNER, RED SOX
 SHORTSTOP, 32 TODAY

Heinie Wagner, the Red Sox short stop who played such a big part in winning the worlds championship for Boston that the fans dubbed him -tthe ball c1ub,'' will celebrate his thirty-sec- ond birthday today. Heinie's original mOnaker was Charles, and he was born in the Harlem section of the American metropolis on Sept. 23, 1881. He grew to his five feet and nine inches of stalwart manhood in New York City, and his first baseball experience was gained as an amateur and seni-pro player in that village. He was signed by the Giants in 1901, but was turned over to the Columbus, O., club of the Western League. He played in the outer garden for Co., lunnbus that year, but in 1902 he was tried out at short. Early in the sea- son he received an injury that put him out of the game for a time, and Columbus gave him his release. It was a disguised blessing, for the Giants gave him another chance when he had recovered, and Heinie got away with it. He played shortstop and third base for New York in 1903. and at second base the following year. He continued to alternate be- tween second and short until New York traded him to the Boston Amer 1cans in 1907. What Heinie has &C., omplished in Boston is history. Elk cept for his good right wing the Bos-- ton would not have acquired the worlds championship and perquisities.
 Although he is tagged Boston, Heinie remains true to his native city, and thinks there is no place like little old New York. The Wagner family domicf1e is located in the metropo1i- tan rube-urb of New Rochelle, where Heinie spends the winter months raising chickens, pigeons and other poultry.
 As a batter Heinie has never class ed with the great Honus Wagner, who is also something. of a shortstop. Wag- ner made his best record with the stick last annum, when he hung up an average of .274.= In 1910 he did .273. His low mark with Boston was made during his first year, 1907, when his average was .213.
 Wagner is mighty disappointed over the showing of the worlds champions this year. At the beginning of the season Captain Wagner could see nothing to the race but Boston and the Athletics. "If we head off the Athletics we'll get the flag agaln,'' said Wagner, and to that extent he was 2 true QFoQhaA

GIANTS MAY HAVE PENNANT
 CINCHED BY THURSDAY NIGHT
Athletics Have Flag Settled And Are Prepar-
 ing For Worlds Series

With the American League race set tied, and the Athletics in line for a conditioning period of two weeks be- fore the series begins, the attention of the fans now turns to the Giants and the amount of time they will have to prime themselves for the baseball classic. The backsliding of the Phil lies during the last two days at Chi cago, where they dropped three out of four games, has simplifed matters to such an extent that the Giants are now in a position to c1inch the National League pennant about ten days before the big series begins.
 At the close of yesterdays games the Giants resting while the Phillies were getting an even break-there re- mained a, margin of ten full games separating the Giants from the Phil lies. McGraW's men have thirteen

HOBBY BAKER OUT

Princeton, N. J., Sept. 2s.-As a rest after hard practice game of satur- day the Princeton football squad was given light work yesterday.
 Sheffield, '02, was on the field and had charge of this department. giving the new men special assistance. The varsity ran through shift formation plays and the new men were given special coaching in blocking each play Lamberton of last years freshman team reported and was given a, try out at end. Keene Fitzpatrick, the trainer, kept Hobey Baker out of the lineup and Borden took his place.
 Borden is fast and heavy, but light for varsity material. Shaw was shift ed from centre on the scrubs to the varsity, as the coaches are letting no chances slip in regard to filling this position.

CAPT. YOUNG OF
 PENN IN BACKFIELD
Important Change Made In Team and Leader Plays Dashing Game.

Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-Capt Lew Young, star end on the University of Pennsylvania football team for the past two years, and who was tried out at ha1fback Saturday, was moved over to the backfeld position the second varsity eleven in the practise on Franklin Field yesterday.
 His brilliant line smashing was easily the feature of the afternoons scrin- mage, he scoring two of the four toucheowns registered against the scrubs.
 The workout was the hardest SO far this season: Dickey Marshall, quarter back on the first varsity and hero of the Michigan game last year, gave a wonderful exhibition of drop-kicking near the end of the drill, sending the pigskin above the crossbars five times in succession from the 40-yard line, with the scrubs trying to break through the line.

more games to play, four with Brook lyn this week, three with Boston, and six with Philadelphia next week. The PhiIlies have seventeen games to crowd into ten playing days-seven with Boston this week, four with Brooklyn, and six with the Giants next week.
 Only three full games separate the Giants from the ownership of the Ma tionaI League pennant. Three victor ies by McGraw's men, coupled with the same number of defeats by the Phil lies, will put the latter team beyond all chance of winning the pennant.
 The earliest possible time for the settlement of the National League race is Thursday night. This can be ac- complished by the Giants winning from Brooklyn tomorrow and Thurs day, while the Braves are taking two doub1e-headers from the Phillies.

GREAT COACHING
 FOR YALE ELEVEN
Fitzpatrick, Daily And Other Stars To Help Play. CTS

That Yale's greatest coaches are in terested in their efforts to make Head Coach Howard Jones and Captain ketcham turn out a winning team for the Blue, despite the sanguine reports from Cambridge, was made all the more apparent last night by the an rourlc ernent of the coming east of Fudge HeffIeinger next Monday to be with the team a week, and Tom Shev- lin world come for a week or ten days Henlefinger and Shev1in never failed to inspire confidence in the Yale Souads and added to such men as Frank Hinkey, Dr. Bull and Howard Jones, with their corps of assistants, leaves othing to be wished for in the sscachiEg line. Hinkey will leave this week as will Howe, but both will re- turn later. Johnny Fitzpatrick Fred DaIy and Buck Morris arrived yester- day.
 There was no let-up in strenuous work yesterday afternoon and the varsity was sent against the scrubs in a scrimmage of nearly an hour. Captain Ketcham didn't play because Of a slight cold. New men were tf1eo 5n the varsity line but the opposition uroved equally as strong. The vars 1ey rushed the ball to the 15-yard line but couldn't score, the scrubs holding their ground well in the first two sew Sn-minute periods.

ENGLISH GOLFERS
 EXPLAIN DEFEAT
Say Ouimet Was Too Young To
 Realize What He Did.

London, Sept. 23.-The defeat of Iar- ry Vardon and Edward Ray by young Francis Ouimet at Brook1ine, Mass, is described as "nunliIiating'' by John Henry Taylor, British open golf cham picn.
 Youth has no nerves" he contends Youngsters playing golf do not real ize how difficult it Is to play really we'll Only when one has made a. rep utation and understands the dire con- sequence of failure is one properly thankful if one is playing well. Ouinet is a splendid golfer, endowed with splendid nerves At the same time my impression is that he had every thing to gain and nothing to lose Var don and Ray on the other hand knew they carried on their shoulders tfe golf reputation of this country. That did not make their task easier. It is much more easy to make a. reputation at golf than to maintain it."
 Taylor himself won his first open championship in Great Britain at the age of twenty three.

WANT FOOTBALL IN
 WESTERN PRISONS NOW

The introduction of baseball in va rious penitentiaries and reformatorfes in the South and West has met with such universal approval that the game as well as other forms of sport may be taken up in every State in the Un- ion before long. In the State of Iowa there is a move on foot at the present time to install gymnasiums in the pen al institutions This came about through very interesting letter which a convict in the reformatory af Anamosa, Ia, wrote to Coach Haw1ey of the University of Iowa football team.
 The writer in his letter tells just how great a demand there is in prison for athletics. The faculty of the Iowa university investigated the conditions and has instructed Coach HawIey to send equipment to the prison.
