Pennsylvania Gives Up Hope of Winning
 Intercollegiate Meet

The crushing defeat that the Cor nell University athletes administered to the University of Pennsylvania team at Ithaca last Saturday has just about killed whatever hopes the Penn contingent entertained for winning g the intercollegiate track and field championship on their own field on May 29. It was not only the fact that Cornell whipped the Quakers badly, but in the very events in which ,Orton's men were supposed to be un- beatable the Ithacans matched them point for point.
 The failure of Don Lppincott to run in his Olympic form after his great showing in the Penn relays last month is perhaps the Quaker's keen est disappointment. Don was beaten badly in both of the sprints at Ithaca; showing no signs of the speed thai made him famous at Stockholm
 The hope1essness of Penn's case is seen from the fact that all her points in the intercollegiate must come from practically four men-Meredith, Iip- pincott, Ferguson, and Lockwood. Or the track the Red and Blue has notl1. ing else except Kaufman, a fair per. former in the hurdles; and in the field, likewise, the Quakers are wo. fully weak.

FRANKIE CALLAHAN
 BEATEN BY LEONARD

New York, May 19-Benny Leon ard, who has forged to the front as a lightweight under Billy Gibson's guid- ance. advanced another step toward the coveted goal by soundly trouncing Frankie Callahan, the Brooklyn lad, in ten bristling rounds at the One Hundred and Thirty-ffth Street A. c. last night. It was a Leonard vic- tory all the way after the first round, which went to Callahan
 Leonard fought thodica1 bat tie, wearing Callahan down by in- cessant and effective use of a left/jab and a right uppercut- Benny used them both with a precision that was uncanny, and although Callahan was allotted thirty minutes he could de- wise no defense from these blows.
 Leonard fought like a little cham pion after that first round. In the ninth and tenth rounds Callahan was lucky to escape at least 9. knockdown. Leonard, however. refused to increase his speed, yet despite this Callahan showed signs of wear and tear.
 The Cross-Harvey fight did not ma terialize. Leach claimed the club promised him s1,300 and refused to accept $500. offered him. The crowd yelled for their money back and were promised they would get it tonight.

CARPENTER PROVES
 COURAGE BY EXPLOITS
 WITH ARMY IN FRANCE
lWorcester Post.l


 Most American followers of boxing have always had an idea that Georges Carpenter, heavyweight champion of Europe and greatest idol in the his tory of French sports, has every qualification of a boxing champion with the exception of gameness. This was particularly impressed on their minds when he quit to Bill Papke, the former worlds midd1eweight champion, in 1T rounds in Paris a, few years ago. However, this idea. has been proved false since the great European war started. Carpenters s record in the big struggle has shown him to be a man of unusual courage. During the early months of the war Carpenter was used as a, messenger It was his duty to carry messages on a IF otorcycIe from one general to an other. Often he was obliged to come | might close to the enenys guns-in fact, near enough to forfeit his life if he came in the path of stray bullets as he was frequently within range. What do you think he is doing now? And it is the supreme test of l coura ge. He is piloting one of those airships that have to go up many r thousands of feet in the air and get | a line on where the Germans and Austriahs are situated At any time he is in danger of having his machine struck by shot-and then it is a case

JIMMY CLABBY
 AND GEO. CHIP
 GET SUSPENSION

New York. May 19.-Jimmy Clab- by, the clever 9ndiana, rn1ddleweight, and George Chip of Newcastle, Pa, were each suspended for one month at 8 meeting of the State Athletic Commission at Al Park Row yester- day for failing to "do their best'' in a bout stopped by Referee Billy Roche at the St. Nicholas Rink last Wednes- day night.
 The boxers will receive their mon ey, however Chip was guaranteed $1,0OO, while C1aoby boxed for 27 15 per cent. of the receipts above the 5 per cent tax taken out for the State. The gross receipts of the bout were S1,943. The months suspension Is the lightest verdict the commission could reach outside Of a reprimand or a suspended sentence, and is really a suspension that is not a penalty. Neither boxer probably would have boxed here inside the month. any way.
 I Seven newspaper men who attend ed the exhibition were called to give their account of the bout, and a ma jority of them agreed with Referee Roche that the men did not, try theil best. All refused, however, to as- sert that the exhibition was 'frann- ed up''
 C1abby and Chip were not called as they had given their version of the affair last Friday, but two managers of boxers, one referee. and Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Chicago National League team, supported tht boxers contentious that they tried their utmost. Bresnahan was especial ] Iy certain that C1abby and Chip box

of farewell, proud earth
 The work of being a chauffeur in the sky is the most hazardous of any duty that a soldier can perform. Even in times of peace an air-pilot is all ways in danger of death, pur in war times the dangers of losing his life are multiplied.
 It is the latest edition of the Daily Mail of Paris that conveys news of Carpenters new duties. A picture is shown of him taking his first flight in an aeroplane. He is dressed in an overco oat, with fur collar and a round fur hat. The old smile that used to play around his features when he was performing in the ring before thou sands. of French admirers has van ished, and in it's place is the thought full, sad expression that is furrowed on the faces Of all men in times of war.
 If Carpenters life is spared, and the warning nations lay down their of the most prominent figures in Europe, and it would be no surprise if the French government conferred some high official honors upon him maybe some big job in the employ of the nation.
 Carpenter is one of the most pie turesque figures in. the history of sport. He took up boxing when it was fnagurated in France, and won championship after championship un- til he captured the heavyweight championship of Europe from Bonn bardier Wells. He has the honor of holding every ring title from fly weight to the top-Weight class.

MAKES RECORD
 FOR. AUTO DASH ACROSS COUNTRY

New York. May 19.-Covered with the mud and grine of it's terrific drive, an automobile pulled up at the Automobile Club of America yester' day morning with the distinction o1 having broken transcontinental rec ords and come from San Diego to New York in eleven days, Seveu hours and fifteen minutes
 The most remarkable part of the performance was. that there was nc relay driving, as B. G. Baker of In- dianapolis, holder of the coast-to- coast motor cycle record, drove for the entire distance. The car, a stock model Stutz "Bearcat,'' came through the test without repair. The San Diego air is still in the two front tires, and the rear castings are intact, two new tubes having been used in each of them. The mileage over the diff ficu1t route followed was SITS 1. Accompanying Baker and acting as l observer was w. F. Sturm, a newspa- per man of Indianapolis and it was part of his duty to collect signatures at each stopping point along the way attesting the time at which the car passed through.

Barney Oldtie1d Tells
 Why He Doesn't Race
 in American Machine

Indianapolis, May 19.-Barney O1dfieId has his dander up The big fellow is peeved over the treatment accorded him by American motor-car manufacturers, none of whom, he says, appreciates his true worth and ability.
 Why am I driving a foreign car in the Indianapolis races this year % asks Barney. For the simple reason that no one in the United States will pay me what I am worth. All these Americans are afraid will get all the publicity, to the detriment of their car. If they had any sense they'd give me a contract that would make my name and the car synony- nous, like the Peerless Green Dragon and I formerly were. Then we'd both cash in.'
 Barney incidentally says he is far from being all in, many of his friends, and he himself, by the way, once feared. He is confirmed in this belief by the fact that Lautenschlager winner of the last French Grand Prix is 45 years old. Barney, being some summers younger than that, thinks he will last a long time to come.

He won on q foul from Gunboat Smith in London early last summer and earned a fortune for this victory. The result caused all kinds of dis cussion, 1t being a question in the minds of the American public whether Smith quit or whether Georges was really hit low.
 It would not be surprising to hear that when his country no longer needs him, Carpenter will come to this country and challenge for fight for the heavyweight championship of the world.

HARVARD SORE
 AT YALE OVER
 RULING ON ROOS

Cambridge, May 19@There is much surprise here that the Yale authori- ties should have ever considered the entering of Roos in the hammer throw. now that the grounds of the dispute are more fully understood. The case seemed so clear to Dean Le Baron R. Briggs, chairman of the fac ulty committee on athletics, that he directed the track managers to make no protest.
 But Manager Fred Moore of the Athletic Association said that Yale was not going to put anything like that over on hir1-hence the Harvard protest with the result that Yale has given up the meet without admitting the grounds of the Harvard sauthori- ties.
 It is hoped by all undergraduates that there will be no ilI-feeIing be- tween the two colleges; in fact, many have said that they would prefer that Yale got the cup than that there should be any athletic wrangle be- tween the two universities.
 It is to be noted that Yale reIin- Quishes the meet as if she were giv- E ing HaTyard something that the Grim son does not deserve, and as if her a,c- ton were great favor to Harvard. This position is an unfortunate one in view of the fact that Yale kept Roos out of the meet with Princeton knoEing that his appearance would have been. protested under the agree u1ent between Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Expecting to beat Prince ton anyway. it may have seemed more polite to- wait for the Harvard meet before bringing up the question of the eligibility of Roos. Harvard mon will continue to think that had Yale sincerely believed in her right to enter Roos, she would have done so in the meet with Princeton.
