Chicago, Sept l6.-If Georges Car
pentier, the famous French fighter, can
secure his release from the army
where he is now serving in the war
against Germany, Billy Nolan, Ameri-
can manager, who handled the affairs
of Battling Nelson and Willie Ritchie,
will bring him to America for a tour
OF the country this fall. This was the
report circulated around Chicago yes
terday, following Nolans mysterious
visit here. 1t likewise is said Ad VOL
CAST will come under Nolans manag-
erial wing.
The fact that Nolan was negotiating
for Carpenter became known several
weeks ago when another Chicago man
ager cabled the Frenchman a big offer
for his services in this country. This
was turned down by Georges, who
wrote back that he was planning "A trip
to the United States under Nolan's
management.
Wolgast has been in the field for a
manager for several weeks. Nolan
heard this and was advised to come to
Chicago to discuss terms. Wolgast is
now in the Cream city training for his
bout with Joe Mandot Friday night.

Chance asserted that although his
contract did not expire until the end
of the 1915 season, he saw no reason
why he should remain here, because OF
what he declared was the unwilling
ness OF the owners to spend enough
money TO build the team up. Friction
between Chance and Farrell has exist
ed for long time, but the trouble re-
Gently was centered on Arthur Irwin,
the scout Of the club. Chance insisted
that Irwin be discharged, as he alleged
Irwin had been Of no use of the club
and was interfering with his manage
ment
Il see no reason for my remaining
here" said Chance today. II cannot
hope to finish any higher than sixth or
seventh with the material at hand, and
for a team not to finish any higher
than that Farrell need pay no manag-
er higher salary. He can get $5,-
600 man to do that"
President Farrell was willing to ac-
cept the resignation but baked at the
salary proposition. Therefore Chance
declared that he would serve out his
contract, which has another year 10
run, at a salary generally understood
TO be about $4,000.

Friends Trying To Patch Troubles of
Chance and Farrell

New York, Sept. 16.-Mutual friends
were busy today in an effort to patch
up the differences between President
Frank Farrell and Manager Frank
Chance of the New York American
league baseball club. 1t was even inti-
mated in some quarters that Chance
would remain as leader OF the team
the remainder OF the season and that
he might even be with the team next
season.
Chance sent Farrell letter from
Washington where the team played "a
three game series this week. asking to
be relieved Of the management on
September Is, and at the same time
requesting that he be given his full
salary for the season. In reply Farrell
forwarded a letter to Chance. just be-
fore the game this afternoon in which
he said:

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 16.-Accord-
ing to Coach Yost, the prospects for a
good line for Michigan are worse than

day the Wolverine coach intimated
that as yet lie has not found single

Watson is not only big and strong, but

ball and getting their muscles linn
bered up, but this year the candidates
were plunged into real work at the
very start. Last spring when Coach
Yost met the prospective candidates
here, and discussed the coming season
with them, they were given to under
stand that this years work would be
no child's play. AS result none of
them has allowed muscles to grow
fiabby because OF lack of exercise.
Each man had a football and was ex-
pected to spend a certain amount of
time each day i'm using il. The result
is that the entire squad reported in

state that they have never seen

Yost Mum on Harvard Game.
If Coach. Yost has any decided opin-
Harvard game he is keeping them to
himself. He admits that he expects TO
develop team ~vhich will give the
easterners a real battle, but that is as
far as nc will go. Just one thing would
make Yost happier than he is now. and
that is about hundred men trying
for places on the team. II must be adj
mitted that Michigan students do not
turn out for the team as they should.
In an institution where there are some
4 900 male students IL ought to he pos
sible to secure more than half nun

NEW PLANS FOR DRAFT.
National Commission Not To Have
Responsibility.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 16.-It was Off
cially announced here today by Chair
man August Hermann of the national
baseball commission that for the first
time in the history of organized base
ball there will be no meeting of the
national commission this year for the
purpose of drafting players from the
minor leagues. The drafting will be
done, according to Mr.. Hermann, but
in a new way. Just what this new
way is, he said, he could not outline
at this time.
1t was later stated authoritatively
that the drafts had already been made
but that the national commission will
not promulgate the list until every
man drafted had been signed To a con-
tract. How long this will take was
not known.

LONG SETBACK
FOR POLO GAME
Fact No international Matches
Are Planned Kills Interest

New York, Sept. 16.-It is admitted
by the members of the Polo association
here that the war in Europe has set
back the development Of the game in
this country many years. Not only
is there no prospect Of international
competition for some time TO come, but
the fact that there is no expectation
of challenging for the international
title for a long time to come has had
the effect Of lessening the number of
active devotees in the United States.
From the standpoint OF American
polo prestige it is particularly unfor-
tunate that the general war on the
other side should have occurred at this
time. II had been planned to make
the present season one OF preparation
and development OF younger players.
Now, with the British cavalrymen who
made up Lord Wimborne's victorious
team, all at the front, no official of the
Polo association has the heart to talk
OF attempting to regain the cup.
Will Issue No Challenge.
Not only is it certain that no sug-
gestion OF n challenge will he raised
while the war i'm Europe continues, but
the sportsmanship of the leading spir-
its Of the game in this country is such
that Great Britain will not be embar-
rassed with a challenge until sufficient
time has elapsed To enable the players
on the other side to forget about the
war.
AS a matter OF fact it will be a long
time before the British will be in a po-
sition to defend the trophy. Not only
as regards players-praCtically all the
leading exponents OF the game in Eng
land are cavalrymen-but as regards
ponies, the game has suffered terrific
blow on the other side. According to
advices received here. practically ev-
cry pony in the victorious string has
been requisitioned for cavalry purpos-
es by the British government. Many
of the best will doubtless be killed in
service, and others will he rendered
unfit for the game through hard SER
vice.
The American Plans.
Although the plans had been com
pleted without any blare OF trumpets,
the Polo association had previous to
the commencement Of hostilitIes. COM
pleted plans which would undoubtedly
have resulted i'm the forwarding OF a
challenge for Hurlingham. The idea
was To encourage young players i'm the
various parts OF the country and then
bring together the leading teams at
San Francisco for the exposition.
After the conclusion OF the last in |
Larry and Monty Water
bury announced that they would no
longer play in international matches. |
DevereuX Milburn did not take such |
a positive stand; but it was generally |
that the hope of regaining |
the leadership in the game must rest
with the younger generation OF play
ers. This aim of the authorities was
not To eliminate teams at San Francis
20, but to bring together the leading
'ours Of the country, and from them
select two teams which would be the
nucleus OF challenging team.

George Starks, Il young farmer, went

The attaches of the Office looked at the
man in wonder. This certainly was
unusual. Everybody else that had said
anything about enlisting in the state
militia wanted to be a captain, a colo
mel or a major.
The simon pure patriot was told to
keep up with the daily newspapers and
return to the adjutant generals office
when war should be declared and Mis-
siSsippi would be called on for militia.
Starks was disappointed. He wanted
to get into the fight ut once He want

George ID. Cline in The Hudson True
Republican: Congressman Frear has
gained much enviable notoriety on ac-
count OF a speech delivered in Congress
on the misspent appropriations for the
improvement of navigation. lie held
that the appropriation had multiplied
hree fold in Il few years while naviga-
on had been on the decline all the
time. Graft in that kind of business
dates back n long way. A congress
man from the old Third district some
years ago procured $6, 900 with which
to survey the Peckatonica in Lafayette
county to determine its navigability.
Yet | have fished up and down that
stream with the smallest boat, fiat bot
toned mt that, when it was necessary
to get out and help it over the shadows.
A neighbor congressman reported that
he had searched his district from one
end to the other and could not find u
stream big enough to float II toy boat.
Brother Cline, yon shouldn't publish
such tales, which are only too true.
You might hurt the feelings of some
Wisconsin editors who are mourning
the days that are gone. The bill APP
propriating ~ 900 for the survey of the
Pecatonica river in Lafayette county
was passed ut u time when what Form
or Governor Hoard calls pure Repub-
licanism ruled supreme in state and
nation. But it was neither pure Re.
publicanism nor pure Democracy. 1t
was bad politics.
