4ntipodean Promoters Offer Re-
munerative Rates to Premier
Boxers-Carpenter Accepts.
By Tad
Bv w. w. Naughton.

c AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1O.-Aus-
y tralia is trying to corner the
boxing market. The game Of
the glove Is in a highly flourishing
condition out that way, and these
especially palmy days have caused
new clubs to form and new stadiums
to spring up like mushrooms.
Naturally competition is keen. In
the scramble for talent pugilists the
world over have been offered antipo-
dean contracts at remunerative rates
Georges Carpenter, the Frenchman
who defeated Bombardier Wells, is the
latest to accept an engagement from
the Sidney matchmakers, according
to all accounts. and he will be on
hand in the city named to box Eddie
McGoorty or some other opponent at
Eastertime.
Here in this country numbers OF
boxers of note and quite a few of the
other kind are recipients of Austral-
ian offers, and are in doubt as to the
advisability of accepting them
Not 80 long ago the Rush cutters
Bay Stadium had the field to itself
Now two other full sized stadiums-
the Olympic and the Newton--havs
been built on the outskirts Of Sydney
and still others are projected.
One Of these will be the headouar-
tiers OF the National Sporting Club OF
Australia. which has just been formed
and which has capital of quarter
of million dollars.
A LREADY those who are constitu-
tionally opposed to boxing in
Australia are viewing with alarm
the rapid spread of boxing halls
Recently deputation from the Pub
lie Morals Association waited upon
the Lord Mayor of Sydney to object
to the granting of a lease of the EX-
position Building by the City Council
to man who intended to use the
place for conducting glove contests.
The members of the deputation as
sured the Lord Mayor they were not
opposed to Legitimate sport"
Every once in while there is aei-
tation against boxing in Australia,
but those who are responsible for 1t
make little Roadway. The investment
OF so much money in stadium build
ings shows that the glove game is on
a sound footing and that the promo
tiers fear neither kill-joys nor mar
sports.
IF Carpenter goes to Australia as
announced 1t will interfere mate
rally with the plans of Gunboat
Smith. Manager Buckley is expect
ing a cablegram containing the news
that Gunboat's terms for a match

accepted. and takes little stock in the
report that Georges is about to take
the out-trail.

with the praises of Bob McAiIis-

months and was looked upon as the
most promising Of all the light heavy

1t is a sort Of introduction from q

A good roof has a good deal to do
with the real value as well as the
sentimental value of a dwelling. Some
roofs are so made that snow piles
up in the corners to melt and freeze
and back up tie water so you have
to get up In the night and set pans
and pals around at different places
to catch the drips. This happens with
comparatively new roofs that are Inn
properly constructed. There are q
good many roofs In the snowy north

storms, The roof must not be too
plain, and It must not be too fancy.
There Is more In the general design
than in the fancy features.

In this plan these important fea-

a pale-faced, agitated girl near by, who
stood trembling all over In fear and

twenty and Nettie Green was not
eighteen. There was boy and girl

Ned with grim emphasis.
Nettie cried her heart out all that
night Green did not speak 10 her for
several days following. He was
ashamed of what he had done. At
the end of week he told Nettie so.
Then later he mourned that he had
ever lost his temper and through It

ever hired
II was when his Ave acre plat Of
strawberries ripened that he sorely
missed the boy who had been 30 fam

son. Ned was popular with all the
juveniles of Brampton. Everything de-
pended on picking the berries at just
the right time. Paying one cent
quart, Ned had employed an army OF
vacation school children. Not a berry
rotted. not a delivery was missed and
nearly one thousand dollars net profit
came from the well-managed enter
prise.

Silas Green found that he could not

Many times architects are asked to
design an eight-room house with no
sizes stipulated, but 1t is intimated
that large rooms are wanted. When
the plan Is finished and the cost COM
puted there is an objection at once
on the score OF expense and the archi-
tect Is asked to reduce the size to
come within the owners means.
This is q difficult task. In the first
place the owner has got his Ideas
up to a rather pretentious house and
he has decided that he wants four
bedrooms, which. with bathroom. hall
and stairway means that he must
either have house about the size
of this one or he must cut down the
size of the rooms considerably. The
decision usually is to make the rooms
smaller, but this often alters the ap-
pearance OF the house until the gen.
eral effect is disappointing
