Carpentier, French Cham
 piOn, Quits Fighting

THE chances are that France has lost
 it's one great opportunity to make a bid for the worlds heavyweight box ing championship through the present war Not that death may claim Georges Carpentier, although that too is to be reckoned with.
 It is that Carpenter is making good in new and more highly regarded line of life, to the end that the once famous French heavyweight may de- eide never to don the rnitts again. /.
 Carpenter, according to the Daily Mail of Paris, is now an army air pi- lot and has taken his place with the regular corps of air scouts, who locate hidden batteries of the enemy and in other ways risk their lives more than members of any other branch of the service.
 And they used to say Carpenter would never do in the ring because he was yellow and had quit in his bout with Bill Papke!
 If Carpenter survives after making good in this department of service he will, no doubt, remain in the aviating game for the rest of his career.
 The piclkings, in pugilism aren't apt to be fat after the close of the war.
 Carpenter is one of the few French men to make good in pugilisrn- Henry Piet, Louis de Ponthieu. Marcel Mor- eau and Charles Ledoux about com PAeco NAO A@SI OA PASnCALiCh O4 dll classes able to make impression on the fight world.
 For a long time it was believed that the sport was foreign to- the French nature and would never take hold. Carpentier, however, disproved this by winning every championship from ban tamweight to heavy as fast as he took on weight That he was of true worlds title ca1iber, however, is hard Iy believable, since his gross tonnage was about ITO pounds-too light for the big fellows.

PEACE IN BASEBALL WORLD FAR OFF

question and perhaps several others.
 It is generally believed that the Fed eral league would welcome peace, and it is also probably true that some of the magnates in O. B. would not be averse to a declaration of peace. Un- settled conditions such as exist at pres ent are doing the sport no good and can result only in harm
 Many people are being driven away from their favorite pastime because of the legal aspect it has assumed and be- cause of the prolonged bickerings be- tween the mogu1s as well as because of the suspicious which have been aroused in their minds by the failure of certain players to respect as sacred their written contracts.
 It would undoubtedly be great thing for the pastime if the war were to be declared off. However, organized base ball has certain principles which it must uphold. It can scarcely afford to make overtures. Such course would not only be undignifed on it's part, but would be an admission of weakness which would undoubtedly be made use of if the negotiations should fail.

met thirty yards and be just as accu- rate. His long irons are easily twenty yards beyond Travers' longest. His half shots are the only comparatively weak spot in his game, and yet they are the equal of any ofNthe two men on the U. s. G. A. list, and he is fast i'm proving. Two years ago, when the mid western team played in the northwest Davis was one of our opponents We all beat him then, but we were all agreed that he showed wonderful pos abilities.
 "The P. P. [. E. champion is as good all the fancy shots. Indeed, at the present moment there is no more bril- liant golfer in America.
 CT am aware of the fact that a golfer might have all these virtues and still not be able to deliver the goods at the right time, but Davis is almost equally good in match and medal play, with perhaps greater excellence in match play.
 "fHe is not beginner at golf, neither is he native Californian. He has played and lived in Chicago, Minneap- oIfs, Colorado Springs where his fa- ther now resides. and other places in the west.
 .It would be a great pity if he does not enter in the big championships this year,
 That ruins Davis for good. One of the best little ways to jinx a player is to have him tipped as a wonder by ex- champions-or by real champions, for that matter.
 Wasn't 1t Harry vardon who picked Evans to heat the United States at golf?

QUITE furor was created recently during utterances made by Ban Johnson, the American league chief, who declared, or was quoted as de- claring, that the American league stood ready to make peace with the Federal league: This published interview was spread broadcast, though the state ments made by Johnson were vehe- mently denied by officials of the Fed era1 league, while the National mag mates asserted that they knew nothing of the alleged negotiations
 It is highly probable that there was some fire where so much smoke was evident. In other words, it is not un- reasonable to guess that some sort of a peace move had been made by one party or the other in the present con- troversy. But there can be no doubt that the warning factions have come to no agreement. Indeed. peace now seems farther off than ever.
 The Benny Kauff case bo1stered the Federal league cause. John McGraw's play has given the Feds some addition al publicity and has had the tendency to increase the value of the player in

A TIER going hitless in the first three games of the season Ma poleon Lajoie has come back to life in great shape, thereby pleasing more fans throughout the country than would be possible for any other player.
 Lajoie is still perhaps the most wide Iy esteemed star in any league in spite of his waning prowess and because of the memory of the truly great player and hitter he once was.
 In one respect Connie Mack made no mistake in signing Larry, since he is still a valued card at the gate" And you never can teI-he may come back. as the Philadelphia writers say he has, In that case, with Frank Ba- ker relenting and returning to third base the nmping old Mack machine might start a genuine pennant spurt.

big swing and drove the ball a mile.
 "One of his most famous long hits came in just this way. Collins was on second in a. world series game against the Giants Gat the Polo grounds. Just before the pitch Collins sang out, Come on, Bake!'
 That was the signal for a curve ball and curve it was. Baker swung from his shoe tops and drove the ball into the grand stand for homer.
 "Pick it out, Bake!' was Eddie's signal that a fast ball was coming. I've seen the two work this system to the advantage of Bakers batting aver age many a time, and with Collins gone away from the club don't be- l1eve Baker would hit as we'll for Mack as he did in past years"

HOME RUN BAKER without Eddie
 Collins or some player just as crafty batting ahead of him is not nearly as good a hitter as he has the reputation of being.
 That's the way little Fritz Maisel, the New York Yankees third sacker, dopes it out.
 Baker is a mighty batsman,'' said Fritz, 'Ibut if he were to return to the Athletics I hardly think he would hit as well as he did for them in the past.
 Collins was a big help to Baker. Eddie always was getting on base, and once he was on the sacks he spotted signals and tipped Baker what was coming.
 Baker, knowing the kind of ball to expect, got his old toe hold, took a

outside Of Chicago, the western cham pionships are held, usually late in July, and Mclaughlin has won two legs on a challenge trophy there that the On Wentsia club donated to the Western Tennis association. The past two years he has been unable to participate in this tournament because of the inter national matches, but this year on his way east to New York it is fair to pre- dict that he will stop off in Chicago and attempt to have his name placed for the third and last time on the time honored4trophy.
 Leaving Chicago Mclaughlin could arrive in good time to defend his title at Longwood for the western cham pionsfip and the Longwood tourna- ments are generally held during success sive weeks in July. After Longwood the New York state championship is held at Bay Ridge, but Mclaughlin will likely rest that week and enter the Southampton tournament in prep aration for the national championship in New York. Mclaughlin is training atsthis present moment for the national title, which he lost to R. N. Williams last year at Newport. No other tourna-

The war has eliminated any possibili- ty Of the Davis cup matches, so 1t can be safely presumed that the foremost players in the country will participate in. more tournaments than if they were forced to train for the international competitions.

WRINKLE BALL PITCHER SHAW's
 NEW INVENTION.

: I'M SHAW, the washington's young
 ~ pitcher, has a brand new ball which is calculated to stand the Amer ican league batters on their heads when he gets it working well. Shaw calls it 'Fthe wrinkle ball."
 Shaws one fault last season was, a tendency to issue free passes by hand ing up too many balls head high, and in order to break him of this fault Jack Ryan gave him a few pointers on how to break the habit. Jim was forced to change his style a trif1e, shooting the pill from a half crouching position, but he made fine progress, and when the ball reached the batter it gave a weird shoot.
 That's a new wrinkle on me-" said Ryan after handling Shaw's latest inn proved delivery recently

Uses Monograph to
 Develop Athletes

TN addition to moving pictures, Coach c. c. Childs of the football and track squads of Indiana university at Bloomington, Ind, has adopted the photograph as an aid to developing athletes. The coach has had a phouo- graph installed in the track oval. and recently the football and track men were put through their paces to the accompaniment of the latest dance mu- sic. The music, it is said, is of great aid to hurIers in regulating their stride.
 Coach Childs says he has a number of other innovations which he will in- troduce later as the season advances. He has been using motion pictures of football games of last season to Illus trate methods of attack and defense as the first course in spring training.

Experts who have seen him play this last year. Mclaughlin Is the greatest
 His forte is speed. He is the most powerful hitter in the game. It is doubtful if there ever was man who although s. H. Smith, an English title holder of decade ago, is conceded to have been the hardest driver, fore and back hand, the game has known.
 Certainly no one ever got the terrific pace overhead or in serving that the westerner acquired. He is severe with every stroke, but one is apt to be de- ceived about his drive and volleys for the comparison they suffer with his smashes and delivery.
 The champion of a year ago is fighter. Determination is the dominant expression when he Is in action. He is a little bit grim about 1t and relentless in his treatment of weaker opponents, but Mclaughlin goes at it as though his one idea was to win and do it as quickly as possible. The hapIess dub who happens to be an unwilling obsta- cle in his road to title is shown no
 mercy. It is his misfortune if a game or two does not happen to fall his way. Mclaughlin will never give him one and experts think he is right.
 He is not phlegmatic player by any means. He is very much alive and af- fected by misplays. He does not loss his temper, but expresses disapproval | in various mild and conservative ways lwhen things go badly.
