Welsh Wins From SayIor on Foul
White in Hard Luck.

Freddie Welsh, English lightweight
and champion shadow boxer of the
world, was awarded the decision over
Young Saylor in the ninth round at
Winnipeg on a foul. The fight was
scheduled to go II rounds. Welsh
was knocked out by the foul punch.
Saylor had been warned against
striking low, but failed to heed the
referees words. Up to the ninth
round Welsh had all the better of the
milling. He reached his opponent at
will in several rounds and opened
cuts on his nose and mouth.
Welsh's cleverness entities him to
consideration from the leading light
weights now doing business. He will
go after a match with the winner of
the Leach Cross-Willie Richie battle,
and failing to land one of those boys
may book up with Johnny Dundee.
Milwaukee promoters will have to
come across with a big guarantee if
they expect to secure Harlem Tommy
Murphy to box Charlie White. Fol-
lowing Wolgast's injury, which forced
him to cancel the fight scheduled
with White for Friday night, Cream
City ring men got in communication
with Murphy. Tommy was severely
punished by Packey Mcfarland last
week and it will take a big money
plaster to heal his wounds soon
enough for him to meet the Milwau-
kee engagement. . - ....
The fight will be at least postponed
until next Monday, and may be can
celled entirely.
Efforts are being made to match
Mike Gibbons and Packey McFar-
land, the star 140 to 145-pound light
weight. Packey will let Gibbons
come in at 145 pounds ringside.
Eddie McGoorty will start training
here this week for his bout with Jack
Dillon in Milwaukee Nov. 3. Dillon

Bresnahan May Manage Dodgers in
1914-AIso, He May Not.

Roger Bresnahan may be the man.
ager of the Brooklyn National League
team in 1914.
This rumor, which gained circuIa-
ton here in the middle of last sea-
son, to be emphatically denied at the
time by Presidents Murphy and Eb-
bets, has been started anew in Brook
Ign, and surrounding circumstances
bolster it up.
Actually no definite negotiations
have been opened in regard to the
Dodgers securing Bresnahan. Wheth-
er Brooklyn will get him in exchange
for other players, whether. he will
be bought outright, or whether he
will go to Brooklyn at all is a matter
of conjecture, but President Ebbets
is hot after the Harp, and it is under
stood the two have held several con-
ferences in the last few days. 1t is
significant in this connection that
Bresnahan has not been with the Cub
transformers on their present trip.
Brooklyn fans and critics are de-
handing the scalp of Bad Bill Dahlen,
who has piloted the Dodgers for sew
eral seasons. The clamor is so in
sistent that Ebbets will probably have
to yield to it, though he is personally
a great admirer of the former Giant.
Two men besides Bresnahan have
been mentioned for the managerial
berth. One is Jake Daubert, first
baseman. The other is Harry Smith,
manager of Newark, pennant win
ners in the International League.
Ebbets does not favor the player
manager system, looking back over
the long list of star players who have
failed as leaders. Smith is an idol
in Newark, and the fans there will
set up an awful holler if he is taken
away.
With these two names eliminated,

Local Shows. B. Carpeaux
and His Works.

The exhibitions grow fewer and
fewer. The season is almost at an erd.
But the galleries are not by any means
to be neglected. The truth is that they
always have something to show in
New York. even far into the summer.
One show only just opened turns out
to be exceptionally attractive. 1t is
the show which Mr.. Harold NJ. Camp
is making at the Arlington Gallery

oils which he brings forward are not

Mr.. Camp has quick and delicate
sympathy for the character of the
American countryside and for. our
coast scenery. He paints Veritab.e
portraits If the numerous places he
has so lovingly studied and invests
them with an exceptionally wholesome
and winning sentiment. In one ef his
pictures THE Spring Storm. he
sketches al old gray house on the
shore, lifted some little distance above
the sea. Not in long time have we
seen a subject of the sort, so simple,
so full of the quality of nature and CT

human habitation. painted with Il

feeling. So it is all through this series
of landscape notes, of trees green in
the sun or gray in the shadow, or
scenes delightfully."- familiar To Ameri-
can eyes and yet given certain fresh
ness through the artists talent. He
has some decorative faculty which
crops out i'm more than one of his
studies of trees. but best of all we ap-
preciate his sincerity, his exact OBJ

Dannat, now on view in the Georges
Petit Gallery makes a deep impression
upon Partisan art critics. Dannat
might be described as the Don Quixote
OF American painters. His strenuous
search for truth has the intensity Of
religion, and he is bold, sometimes pa
thetic, in the courage of his opinions.
Coming to Paris from Munich. he stud
led with Carolus Duran and Munkacsy.
Imbued with the somewhat contradic-
tory teachings of those masters-Mun-
kacsy forbade direct analytical studies
from the nude. but compelled his pupils
to apply their faculties to composition
he travelled in Spain and Italy. Re-
turning to Paris, he exhibited at the
Salons of 1880, 1883 and 1884 a series
OF works that secured for the young
American something like a triumph.
His "Aragon Smugglef" and his
Woman in Red" were purchased by
the state for the Luxembourg Mu-
scum. His "Quatuor Espagnol." vi
brating with life and vigor and replete
with sentiment, secured for him an
ovation. And then, suddenly, Dannat
plunged into an oblivion that lasted
five years.
He studied. but did not produce. He
held aloof. He was Don Quixote alone,
without a Sancho Panza. He exhibited
in the Salon OF 1889 and studied ard
painted until 1898, when by force Of
reaction he abandoned art and devoted
himself exclusively to boxing, fencing,
athletics and motor car racing. Then
He set to work again with brush and
palette and with the fervor of youth.
He discovered a new system. His an
alytical mind sought to penetrate the
technique of the old masters. He took
rare, ancient pictures and simply de-
stroyed them by first taking off tho
varnish and then scraping off the pig
ments, making chemical analyses 10
find out the secrets Of the colors used.
He worked hard at restoring old paint
ings and presently developed some
knowledge of the methods and ME-
diums Of Velasquez and Rembrandt.
Once more he sat down before his
easel and this time proceeded to paint
pictures utterly unlike those by which
he had previously won repute. These
are the pictures which, with others
dating from his earlier periods, go to
fill the present exhibition.
Mr.. Dannat has ceased to study di-
rectly from nature. He refuses to &C

The most important work in the Ma

the Petit Palais by Alfred Roll, which

is the "Apotheosis of the Republic"
The winged figure of the Republic

"A vermilion robe. The attitude and

fine. solidly composed portrait of NJ
Leon Bourgeois. eminent statesman and
former Premier.
Emile Friant sends an allegorical
painting clarifying the aviators of the
French army. An aeroplane piloted by
an artlle- V lieutenant falls to the earth
and the aviator expires amidst the
wreckage. His head is supported by
an heroic nude female personifying
France, no ing in her uplifted right

Important Sales of Paintings
and Drawings.

The season oc sales in Paris promises
to be more than crowded. Already our
cable dispatches have recorded notable
events. among them the dispersal oil
the first par of the late Eugene
Kraemers collection of paintings ana
old furniture. In two days the sum or
$500 600 was realized. and the sale OF
this dealers stock. which will be re-
sumed tomorrow and Tuesday, ana
then resume again on Monday. Jur c :,
may be expected to bring the total up
TO a very high figure. 1t is plain, on
the other hand. that the sensation OF
the Doucet sale is not to be repeated III
this instance Such a development
would be surprising, to tell the truth,
for while the Kraemer collection
brought together some fine things IT
could not, on the whole, be compared
with the amazing mass of treasure
which so long gave a kind of esoteric
fame TO the mansion i'm the Rue Spon-
TIM. We wonder, by the way, If the
prodigious collection OF the late NJ
Groult will ever come under the ham
mer. IL is a vast, heterogeneous al
fair. containing all manner of things OF
all periods, not every one of which is
masterpiece. Just the same the mas
