BOXING ENTHUSIASTS AWAIT ARRIVAL OF CARPENTER
French Fighter Will Appear for Ben
 eft of His Countrymen.

Boxing enthusiasts throughout the country await with much interest the arrival Of Georges Carpentier, the Eu- ropean light heavyweight champion. It was enormously reported the other day in New York that he had arrived there, but this report met with flat denial on all sides. There is no doubt that Carpenter is on his way to this country.
 As far as has been made known, Carpenter will give a series of exhi- bitions in this country for the benefit of the dependent families of French soldiers now at the front. Carpenter according to the best reliable reports obtainable, will arrive here in good physical condition. He is bringing his sparring partner with him.
 Already arrangements have been made in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago. St. Louis. New Or leans, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Providence, Buffalo, Detroit, Montreal and To- ronto to use Carpenter in a benefit bout. He will probably be featured in a regular card.

 The latest to be observed by the vigilant ivory hunters is Rip Con- way, the speedy Worcester player ard the real leading batsman of the league. Conway has shown all the promise that can be expected of tyro in professional baseball He is fleet of foot. covers second base in brilliant manner and most of all he can hit the spheroid. Youngsters are just what the big leagues desire of present, and if this lad does not graduate to the majors via the pur- chase route. it is a sure bet that he will be spared in the baseball draft, which comes next month. Conway has shown his batting power in extra base hitting. commanding all othere in doubles with 31. and ranking among the leaders in triples with eight He is a short lad and bats left handed.

MANY EASTERNERS MERIT
 TRIAL IN FAST COMPANY
Paddy Martin of New London Should
 Make Good Next Time.

Because of a paucity of promising material in Class B leagues this sea son, the Eastern league should make a big contribution of players to the big tent. There are a number of play CTS in the Eastern who merit trials with faster company, among them be- ing Paddy Martin. Spade King, Wood ward, Naylor, shannon, Nutter, Good ridge, Fuller, Press, McQuillan and B. Murray.
 Paddy Martin dominates all oth- paw pitcher in the league. and all though off to a poor start this season, he finds a place with the leaders. Right now he is working better than he ever has and his last three games have been shtu outs. The zenith was reached when he held the Springfield Green SoX hitless last week. Martin took one trip to the big show, the Yankees securing him three years ago. He was not fully ripe at that time. but his three days of experience should make him fit for the majors. The other players are considered bright prospects and it would be no surprise if they go higher.
 Those already headed for the ma jors include Ferguson. the local hurl- CT; Buck Weaver, the New Haven Norman Pitt, the Portland

Jack Flynn Will Probably Remain With Eastern.

Jack Flynn. leader of the Lawrence team, who has made good in a man agerial role after a splendid career as a player in major and Class A com pany, has been offered a berth with club in the Texas league for next sea son, but things are breaking so nice ly for him in his post as head of the Lawrence team in the Eastern league that he will probably turn it down. The big fellow broke in as a pilot with the Springfield club last season and finished third.
 Just before the opening of the Eas- tern league in April he was induced to take charge of the defunct Lawrence club that went so badly last in 1916 that it finished out of the circuit, the franchise being tpken over by the league. Jack put his nose on the grindstone, picked a player here and another there and right off the bat put Lawrence back on the map. The club has been second most of the way. The runner-up berth has been clinch- ed, but New Haven with a club that would make a big noise in Class A company has cinched the pennant

a way Of libcrating emotion in the big

Naples unsafe for autocrAcy by mo-
billing the soul-gropings Of the

Spartan mothers.
"This war cannot DO. fought, our
safety cannot be insured. the Prussian
conqueror cannot be prevented from
oyerrunning the wheat fields Of Naples
until the mothers are ready for their
