ing here today Georges Carpentiet, heavy

sire to cross the Atlantic for battle with

Should Carpenter appear in boxing con-
tests here II Is probable that the money he

EVERS EXPECTED TO
STRENGTHEN PHILLIES

For the third time In his baseball
career. Johnny Evers has shifted his
club uniform and his efforts with the
Philadelphia Nationals and VIII be
followed with interest by fans thru
out the country. The present season
is the fifteenth that Evers has served
in the big league. During this
lengthy period. viewed from the
standpoint Of the baseball player.
Evers has had remarkable ana
spectacular record upon the diamond.
Noted for both his quick thinking,
and fiery temperament, he has liB-
ured In some Of the most sensatonal
Of the national game episodes.
Evers made his baseball debut with
the Troy club OF the New York State
league in 1902, playing shortgtop The
following year found him at second
base with the Chicago Nationals ana
held down the keystone sack for the
cubs until 1914, when he joined the
Boston Braves. Now he has moved
on to the Phillies, where 1t Is eN-
pected he VIII strengthen second base.
Some idea Of Evers' ability can be
gained from the fact that up TO the
close of the 1916 season he had
played In 1853 games with re
sultnnt grand batting average Of .Z3S
and fielding percentage of .Sl3.
