RICHARD RECEIVES
NO WORD ABOUT
CARPENTER COMING

.. New York, JAN. 4-Les Darcy, the
Australian middleweight champion,
was in conference with Freeman Bern
stein, a theatrical booking agent, yes
terday, to arrange final details for his
coming venture in vaudeville. The
Australian said after the conference
that everything was arranged satisfac-
torily, and that he would, open his tour
next Tuesday night at Hartford, CT.
When asked about the offer made
by John J. Reisler to have Darcy
meet the winner of the coming Charlie
Weinert- Billy q. Miske bout, E. II.
O'Sullivan, parcy's business: nanag-
err said that the offer had not been
formally rendered yet, and added that
Darcy would he glad to consider any
offer to box when definite newsgis re-
ceived from Paris regarding the COM
ing to this country of George Carpen-
tier. 81
Tex Richard yesterday said that
there was nothing new in the Darcy
Carpenter situation, or the leasing of
the Madison Square Garden. He
added that he expected something
something definite, by tomorrow Rick
ard said that as soon as he had re-
ceived news of the purchasing of the
Garden by it's new owners he had be-
gun negotiations with them for a
lease. VI.

MAJOR LEAGUERS
APPROVE DAYLIGHT
SAVING MEASURE

New York, Jan. 4-John X. Tener,
of the National league, and
John B. Foster, secretary of the New
York Giants, are among the latest to
indorse the plan for daylight saving,
a bill for which is now before Con-
gress. = ~ 80
Daylight saving. of course, means
setting the clock ahead one hour from
May 1 to Sept. 80, to the end that
sixty minutes of sunlight be added for
those who care for baseball, golf,
lawn tennis or any other competitive
sport. is,<t>
President Tener expressed himself
yesterday as warmly in favor Of the
bill. rtFewer games,'' he said, twill
be called on account of darkness, and
if necessary the games could start a
full half hour later, thus making it
possible for more men to get away
from business to enjoy the sport"
John B. Foster said: eff this ques-
ton was put to- a popular. vote, it
would be carried by an overwhelming
majority. Sixty minutes of extra sun
shine a day during the five best
months of the year Cor outdoor sports
would appeal to all classes What is
needed now is a concerted movement
behind the plan and the bill is. sure
to become law - ~ -.

TO BE
TRADED TO CUBS

Cleveland, O., Jan. 4-Dode Pas
kert, star outfielder of the Phillies,
is going to be traded to the Chicago
Cubs for Outfielder Leslie\Mann and
Pitcher Jimmy Lavender, according
to reports.
1t is further stated that the Phil
lie-Cubs' deal is part of q four-cor-
nered transaction involving the Bos-
ton Braves and St. Louis Cardinals,
the basis for which is that the Phil
lies and Cubs need pitchers StaIlings
wants an infielder and an outfielder
and Higgins wants two outfielders.
Neither President Baker of the
Phillies nor Manager Moran could be
reached to confirm the report, while
at the Paskert home in Cleveland
Mrs. Paskert stated that Dode knew
nothing of the matter, adding: "My
husband is in Cincinnati for a few
days on business. 1 Expect him home
soon. 1t is true that his contract has
expired and that he has not signed
for next year, but I know that he is
perfectly satisfied with the treatment
accorded him by the Phillies and that
if he was to be traded he would have
been told before this"

80 YEARS OLD IN

This is. the thirty-third birthday Of
the Internationally League, which was
launched as the Eastern Association
at a meeting held. in Philadelphia on
Jan. A. 1884. It was known as tbs
Eastern. Association three seasons, but
in 1887 the name was changed to IN
ternational Association. In 1881 the
old L; name & was: restored, but was
changed to Eastern League In 1892
It retained that title until 1912 when
it became the international League.
Thescircuit presided over by Edward
q. Barrow has had many vicissitudes
in it's long history, and there are indl-
cations that it is not vet out OF the

FOUR BOUTS PUT
ON BLACK ROCKS
J. BOXING PROGRAM

The generous program OF four
bouts will be offered to local fans by
the Black Rock Az c: which is to
stage a boxing show at the Casino
Jan. II. Matchmaker Sammy. Hollis
yesterday added an extra bout to the
card when he signed Pepper Martin
of Brooklyn to meet Tommy Shea of
New. Haven in a siX-round prelimin-
airy. 80 Shea: has appeared in this city
on several occasions. He is a clever
ring general but will meet lively
youngster in Martin:
The star bout between Hugh Ross
of this city and Knockout. Sweeney of
New York ought to be good. Ross
has come forward rapidly this season.
His, victory over O'Hagan in this city
and his triumph over Joe Borrell in
Brooklyn last Monday have given him
prestige. Ross. is probably a better
boxer. than Sweeney but the latter is
a slugger- who is likely to land. the
slumber punch any time. This affair
is slated for IL rounds.
Larry Williams, the white haired
boy of Stratford, will clash with
Sailor Carroll in the second 12-round
engagement of the night. Williams
recently managed to hold his own
with Jack Dillon and Billy Miske in
six round bouts in Philadelphia. Car
roll is a fighter of the same rugged
type as Williams. -
Another go that looks promising is
the 10:-round session between Charley
Pitts, the former Australian, and Red
Allen of this city. Allen puts lots of
force behind his blows but he will
find Pitts a strong opponent

OSCAR Wit TOOK.
DETROIT JOB AMP
HELDlT FOR YEARS ';::I

Oscar Witt is q name that has be-
come tolerably familiar to baseball
fans everywhere in the last tive or
three annuIns, as that of a man who
seems to be destined to rank among
the best of the third sackers of the
game The man who covers the diff
in San Francisco, twenty-seven years
ago today. Oscar was an ambitious
youngster, and hes had barely entered
his teens when he decided that he
wanted to become. an architect. He
took q course in an San Francisco
school, and graduated at the tender
age of seventeen f@ts-fs-- -
At school Witt had won considerable
fame as ball player and this en-
abled. him to land a1job with big
company which supported a BALI club
composed of it's employees. He got
eighty dollars per month for doubling
as an architect and a diamond pas
timer, and every Sunday he grabbed
ten" dollars more by playing with a
club Of the California State League.
His work with the State League out
fit attracted the attention of the pilot
Of the San Francisco Seals, and in
1910 Witt played EOS. games in the
Pacific Coast League, at second and
third bases and in the outfeld,s 49,
At the close Of the 1a11 season the
California youngster was drafted by
the Detroit club. Z. For, three seasons
he was used as D general utility man
in both infield. Sand oaitfield,T and it
was not until 1915 that he became file
regular third sackers ofsthes Jennings
crew. Although Mes patted pnly sebO
his first year as regular, he scored
116 runs, which is quite a neat feat.
This last season he sAored eighty
eight runs, with a, swatting average OF
1926. Witt has remained true to Calf
fornia, b and spends the ffrigid months
in Oakland. IL L s. 8.

1--WE came, we saw and we were
conquered says Captain Neil Math-
ews, Of the Penn eleven. "The team
we met has no superior in the cour.
try No excuses can be offered The
best team won, and won by good, hard
football-football which could not be
denied Oregon's attack was power
full, deceitful and struck with a crash
which was irresistible. The 14-to-0
score shows the respective strength of
both elevens. ~
.Never have I seen a harder-run-
ming backfield than Parsons, the Hun
tingtons and Monteith. Their forward
passing was superb. The pass from
Huntington to Monteith which result
ed in their first touchdown was a
beautifully executed piece of work and
was deserving of all it gained.
Beckett, the Oregon captain, is
magnificent player, game to the CORE

left the game upon compulsion, even

WHITE HAS BEST

i. GOLF CUPS IN 1876

New York, Jan: 4-Even though he
was defeated in the final round OF the

w. White had the best season of his
career as tournament player, and
has a tournament record for 1915
that 'surpasses that of any other

Henry j. Topping of Greenwich
started the season as though he in
tended to- monopolize all the first
prizes put up by the l. tournament
committees but after winning at
Ardsley and Garden City he fell into
slump that required all. season Ito
cure. Max. Marston won more. tour
naments than. White, but he engaged
in many more than . the Flushing
player, and the victories that he. gain
ed were mostly in PARKWAY tourna-
ments where the fields were not so
high class as the usual Metropolitan
entry list. Marston's best victory was
at Greenwich, where he defeated
Topping for the. chief trophy ....
1t is not so much that White won,
as his remarkable steadiness through
the season, that stamps him as a
golfer. He won some sort Of prize
in all but one of his ventuxes, and he
never failed to qualify in the first 16.
Defeated by Fred Herreshoff, after

a fine silver cup to reward him for
his persistency.

Years ago, when the late King Cole
was with the Cubs and Frank Chance
was manager, the lanky. twirler hap
pened to have: an friday. He pass
ed 'batters and finally hit one. Chance
gave, him a hard calling on the bench
and told him to beat it for, the club
house. Tears stood in Kings eyes as
he stalked across the field 8,
Lew Richie took hfs place on the
slab and found the going so bad that
Chance also raked him over the Goals
and shot him to the shower. When
Richie reached the club house he
found Cole nearly weeping. 81 ~ 4.
3"If you think you got 1T hard you
ought to have heard what Chance
called me- said Richie. "fIe> said I
was lucky to be in baseball at all and
many other things far worse. .. -
This cheered~ Cole up so much that
he started laughing at : Richie. He
guffawed and chuckled for nearly five
minutes. Finally it got on Lewis
nerves, so he decided to tell-a white
lie, and this is what he told Cole:
