Promoters Want to
Bring French Boxer
To United States

New York, Oct. 2l.-It has been
learned from an authoritative source
that a representative of TEX" Rick
ard and Sam" McCracken, who pro-
NOTED the ten-round bout between
Jess Willard and Frank Moran at
Madison Square Garden last March,
is now on his way to France to offer
Georges Carpenter $4,000 for one
fight in this country, the only stipu-
lation being that the promoters have
the right to name his opponent.
1t is rumored that the promoters
are figuring on matching Carpenter
with Les Darcy, the Australian whirl-
wind, il at ali possible. Sam" Nc
Cracker would not deny the report
when questioned about it.
1t has also been learned that Rick
ard and McCracken are making a
determined effort to lease Madison
Square Garden for the purpose OF
promoting boxing bouts there. They
have made a substantial offer for
the lease to E. Z. Mccall, receiver
for the Garden. Just what the fig
ure was could not be learned. How
ever, it is said to exceed by several
thousand dollars any of the several
offers made by other promoters.

Silas Green at Montreal, Al Reich at

Without doubt or exception, Le-
whisky is the most remarkable boxer
among present-day glovemen. He
has fought more fights than any other
battler. He has been in the ring now
about five years, and in that time
has pulled on his gloves for no less
than 224 contests. The majority of
these were fought within the last
three and a half years, or since he
placed himself under the management
Of Morgan. Their association dates
back to 1918, In that year Morgan
got Levinsky thirty-one matches. In
1914 Barney fought thirty-four times,
Last year he crawled through the
ropes for actual combat twenty-four
times.
This is a record that has never been
even approached by any other boxer,
For sustained effort, Levinsky surely
is the personification of perpetual
motion.

Story Of Stallings
And His Ivory Pets

Many humorous stories are told
about George Stallings and his
"boneheads." The best one was when
George was managing the Yanks,
when they played on the old hilltop
grounds. Ray Demrhitt was' then
with the team, and Yank was on
third with two out. Ray turned to
the big chief for advice, and asked:
Shall | try to bring him in with a
long fly, Mr.. Stallings?" You bet
ter fly into the clubhouse" said the
irate George, ''or I'll massacre you"
Then there is the more recent story
about an incident during the Braves
pennant drive in 1914. Now, if
Gowdy gets on, 'Bonehead' will bat
for the pitcher" said George. Gowdy
got on and every Boston reserve ran
out and grabbed a stick. If we recall
right, however, Stallings had particu-
lar reference that day to Josh De-
wore

TIGERS TAKE UP
OPEN GAME STYLE
Princeton Will Concentrate It's
Efforts to Working Out Sue
cessful Scoring Attack.
TO USE FORWARD PASS

New York, Oct. 2l.--Followers Of
foot ball are commencing to see pos
sibilities of a Princeton team which
will take a leaf out of the book OF
some of the so-called small colleges
and depend largely for attacking force
on the open game. Heretofore, Prince
ton teams, like those of the other big
colleges" have not taken to the open
game very seriously, although they
did not hesitate to use the modern
game in the pinches. When the prac-
tice for this year started Head Coach
John Rush had his men working on
the straight foot ball plays with hard
ly ever an excursion into the open
style.
Recent reports from the camp of
the Tigers, however, show that the
head coach has made some little
changes in the daily routine and has
had the men working hard on the for
ward pass. How weak the Orange and
Black was at this play was clearly
demonstrated in Worcester, when
Princeton made only one successful
forward pass against Holy Cross.
Little better could have been ex-
pected OF the team as matter OF fact.
for the men had had practically no
training for the play.
That Princeton should prosper with
highly developed squad of forward
passers seems certain. 1t will be re-
membered that couple Of years ago
Washington and Jefferson, with a
team that could not have accom-
plished a great deal on straight foot
ball tactics, played havoc with its OPP
ponents through the skillful use Of the
forward pass. From what Princeton
has shown in practice this season and
in its lone game against Holy Cross It
appears that Rush has squad Of men
whose speed and power would be aug
mented greatly by free use of the open

RING RIVALS BOTH
SEEK SAME RECORD
Jack Dillon and Battling Le-
whisky Are in Race for I'm
defatigable' Honor,
SEE WHO FIGHTS THE MOST

New York, Oct. 2l.--Battling
Barney Levinsky and Jack Dillon,
who have already fought more bouts
than the average boxing fan can re-
call, and who will probably fight as
many more before either establishes
his undsputed supremacy over the
other, are rivals outside the ropes
as we'll as within. Each cherishes the
ambition to hang up record for
"indefatigability," or something like
that. In other words, they noursh
the desire to engage in more matches
within a certain period OF time\ than
any other boxer the ring has ever
known. 1t NAV be merely vanity,
but they would rather realize it than

1916 goes the way OF the 1915 that
preceded it. Both Battling Barney
and "Man-Killing" Jack are, perhaps,
the two most active boxers in the
game today; certainly they are the two
busiest among the heavyweights. To
date, Levinsky is far in front OF the
Indianapolis man. He has already
had thirty-two fights this year; about
twelve more than Dillon. Within the

HUSKERS WILL TAKE
ON WESLEYAN CREW
Hustling Methodists to Be OPP
ponents of Stewards Army
at Lincoln Saturday.
AMEs WILL FOLLOW NEXT
By JAMES E. LAWRENCE.

Lincoln, Oct. 22.-(Special.)-A
jaunt half way across the continent
and back is not calculated to leave
foot ball squad in the very best OF
physical trim, but Coach E, J. Stew
art will have scrappy foe next Sat-
urday when the Huskers meet Coach
Kline's Methodist eleven from Wes-
leyan.
The Huskers will return from the
coast Wednesday afternoon and on
the following day will plunge into
preparation for the Wesleyan game OF
Saturday. The Nebraska mentor is
figuring that his squad will have a
little bit more than practice romp
against the Coyotes, who have estab-
lished supremacy among secondary
colleges of the state which has not
been questioned in the last four years.
Then Dr. Stewart and his warriors
have their eyes turned to the Ames
game, which follows that OF next Sat
urday, and which is believed will de-
termine largely the Missouri valley
championship.
Ames Strong.
The Ames Aggies loom up as the
most serious contender in questioning
the Huskers right to sixth Missouri
valley title in as many years. Coach
| Mayser did not get good start at
Ames last season, but he apparently
has his squad in splendid condition
this fall and Nebraska is expecting the
Ames game to prove the most severe
test for the honors in the conference.
By defeating the Kansas Jayhawk-
ers last Saturday the Aggies have won
| the wholesome respect OF the Husk-
ers. Mayser does not have a heavy
squad this season, but the backfield
is reputed to be fast and shifty and
apparently Tugs a more powerful
punch than the Huskers can boast OF
just now. '.-. .-. ....
Once the Huskers clear the Ames
hurdle Nebraskans see little in the
road to dispute the title of the Ne
braska eleven for a sixth Missouri
valley title.
| Letters for CheererS.
The Wesleyan game is the only one
on the schedule this year which does
not count towards letter. The ath-
letic board ruling provides that let
tiers will be awarded for participation
in games against Missouri valley con-
ference schools or elevens from uni
versities and colleges of equal rank.
Although Drake counts towards a
letter, the Methodists will put up a
harder fight.
An innovation passed by the ath'
letic board this week provides for
recognition of the faithful cheer lead.
ers. The board provided that all
cheer leaders might be presented ap-
propriate letters, as distinguished from
the award for athletic prowess. Or
ganized roofing is admittedly great
factor in the winning of games, the
board believes, and it takes this
means of recognizing the men re-
sponsible for the efficiency of the
roofing squad.

AMATEUR FOOT BALL
PLAYERS 50 MODEST
Nonpareils Continue to Be Only
Band Willing to Tackle Any
body and Everybody.
OTHERS STAY IN B CLASS
By FRANK OUIGLEY.

From present indications, the Sun
day foot ball followers will have to
confne their enthusiasm mostly to
the Class B teams this season, be-
cause most all of the Class A leaders
have given over, the strenuous sport.
The Nonpareils are about the only
ones left in the top classification and
they are getting lonesome.
Bluffs Lads Peevish.
Those Council Bluffs organizations
are somewhat peeved at their Omaha
neighbors because the lads on this
side of the Muddy are not favorably
inclined to display their wares in
Council Bluffs. Turn about is fair
play, but the Omaha managers won't
even concede that, it is. They tell
the Council Bluffs chiefs they will
play them in Omaha and will not
even listen to proposition OF
scheduling two games, one in Omaha
and the other in Council Bluffs. The
stand taken by the managers is
prompted by the players. To date
only one Omaha team, namely the
Mazdas, has played in Council Bluffs.
1t is probable that team will be
mustered together in the north end
for the purpose of battling the Non
parcels for the championship. This
squad will be known as the Mon
mouth Parks and will consist of part
of last years Monmouth Park team
and other stars formerly affiliated
with Class A organizations. There is
plenty of Class A talent available
and it could be easily plastered to-
gether if the proper leader was Sc
cured to forward such a move.
Games Today. .,
In all probability the best bout
on the bill of fare today will be the
struggle between the Ducky Holmes
and the Dundee Wooden Mills, billed
for Ducky Holmes park at $50 p
m. Unless something happens to maj
the arrangements made between the
Miller Parks and the Thirtieth Street
Merchants, they will put on the pre-.

This morning the Athletics planted
themselves on smoke machine

Life Of Umpire
Is a Tough One

Pity the poor umpire once again.
He has run afoul OF trouble in the city
of Salt Lake, where the natural thirst
of the frenzied fan for umpiratical
gore has been whetted by diabolical
conspiracy on the part OF peanut
butchers.
According to "Red" Held the tooth
some peanut has occupied a minor
place among the wares dispensed by
the Salt Lake butcher, His most thriv-
ing business has been lodging small
stones and pebbles. He sells them by
the sack, 3 cents per sack, and he ad-
vertises them as fine ammunition for
heaving at the jumps.
Everybody in Salt Lake invested in
a sack of stones, says Red and he
is quite certain that while he might
have missed few balls and strikes
he never missed pebble.
In all this there is one bit OF con-
ISOLATION for "Red." Just supposing the
butchers had been selling loaded re-
