features made her at once the reign

pion Of Europe. was interviewed today
by special permission, regarding an offer
from fight promoters in America to meet
Jack Dillon in New York.
II had already refused 100000 francs
for 2o-round contest in San Francisco
early in 1885, said Carpenter. II am
too busy on the French battle front to
take up sluch things at the present time.
When the war Is over I will be glad to
visit my friends in the United States"
Regarding the report of a prospective
match with Frank Moran, Carpenter said
he had received no offer and that the
story was ridiculous, as no big boxing
matches would be allowed in Paris until
after the end of hostilities.
Carpenter declared his willingness to
meet Dillon when free to do SO and said
he would be only too glad to take on
Jess Willard, subsequently, in the United

conditions.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
THE STOCK MARKET

New York. October s.-Completion of
the fifth consecutive week of daily OPP
erations running from 100000 to more
than 100000 shares finds the stock market
still inherently sound and responsive,
notwithstanding factors calculated to i'm
pair values.
Chief among these was the report that
peace overtures would soon be inaugu-
rated by the central powers. This re-
port caused special stocks, particularly
those deriving their chief sustenance
from war contracts to break several
points but standard shares held relatively
firm.
Denials Of an impressive and authorita-
tive character served to effect very
general adjustment at more or less cost
to the bears. On the constructive side
the most noteworthy feature of the week
was the large and steady array of re-
markable statements of earnings submit
ted by leading railway systems. These
returns caused higher market quotations
the shares of some companies attaining
best prices In three or four years, while
Baltimore and Ohio made absolutely a
new record.

Janvrin came in for much praise to-
day. Substituting for Captain Barry,
who is out of the game with an injured

Of interest in the game because Bos-
ton was leading but came about as
the result of the composition of the
crowd. He said:
WAS SELECT COWD
1T was five dollar crowd, and by
that l mean it was composed to a great
extent of persons who are accustomed to
attending the theatre, opera and like
amusements and who express their ap-
prevail or interest in a rather mild man
ner from the baseball standpoint. Many,
too, were not the close followers of the
game and the play in it's intricate places
went over their heads. If the highest
priced seats sold for so or rs cents you
would have seen the real baseball fan in
all his enthusiasm. Yesterday he was
SO much in the minority that his root
! ing was lost.
| The Brooklyn team, not depressed by
| it's defeat, believes to a man that once
breaks favor them, they will be victo-
rious. The Brooklyn players agree with
their manager that it was Harry Hooper,
the Red Sox right gardener, who broke
| the budding offense of the Brooklyns in
| the fourth inning when he made a mar
velous catch of a seeming safe hit. and
then, after half falling to the ground,
recovered himself and. by fast line
| throw got Wheat at the plate.
THAT was the turning point OF the
| game" said Jack Coombs, the former
Athletic pitcher, and now one of the
Brooklyn dependables. "Our offensive was
snapped at a point when it was apparent
| to all that we were ont the road to
making several runs. Once in the lead.
all Marquard would have had to do was
to hold the Red Sox safe and this he
! could have done, for he pitched a fine
game His support and the breaks of
the game beat him."
SHORE PUZZLED DAUBERT
The Brooklyn players do not think the
Boston system of a run at a time will
| prevail against their heavy attack and
what has imbued them with confidence
| of victories to come is the pitching OF
| Ernest Shore. Manager Robinson says
that all his players remarked that Shore
did not have much on the ball except a
bit of a fadeaway. which seemed to
puzzle Jake" Daubert more than any
one else.
| While Manager Robinson would not
say who his hurler would be for tomor-
rows game, it was said at the hotel
| where the Brooklyn club is stopping that
either the veteran Coombs or Jack Pfef-
fer would face the Red Sox tomorrow.
Some of the visitors think that Coombs
would prove stumbling block to the
weakness, having faced most of them IN
many series when pitching for the Ath
letics.
The Red Sox players of course wers
elated over their victory. They expected
to win the first game and also the Sc
