New York. y Y, June 19.-Ac-
cOrding TO well-founded report
reaching here Georges Carpenter.
heavy weight champion of France,
and a hero among aviators on the
Western front, is on his way to this
country
In all his interviews credited to
Carpenter abroad he has expressed
the desire to cross the Atlantic for
a battle with Jess Willard, heavy

Should Carpenter appear in box

the money he earns will go to the
French Red Cross.

FERDIE SCHUPP IS STAR PITCHER
Of GIANT TEAM; LEADS THE LEAGUE
Stanley Covaleske of Cleveland Is Another Leading
Twirler Who Promises to Be Big Sensation This
Spring; Schupp Considered the Best Southpaw
Produced in National League for Years.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

Ew YORK. June 1.-TWO
NJ young pitchers who are earn
4 ing their cakes in the big
leagues this season show promise Of
piling up records before they outlive
their usefulness on the rubber that
will give them a place in that select
set which includes only the greatest
sIabmen Of the game
One of these two youngsters is
Ferdinand "StubbIefield' Schupp, the
brilliant young southpaw Of the
Giants. The other is Stanley Cove
leskie. the sensation Of the CleVe-
land Indians
Schupp is perhaps the most re-
markabIe of the pair, because he
is sOuthpaW. and as a rule
the sOuth1aws have tough time
when they turn their steps To-
ward the pitching hall of fame
AIcGraw has kept his weather eye
on the work OF young Mr. Schupp
for five years. He has always main
tanned that Schupp had the makings
OF a wonderful pitcher. but though
sensational in the pitching line until
last fall he chung to him. and. the
season of 1917 has so far proven that
NcGraW knew what he was about.
Schupp is in his Z5th year, ana ne
is without a doubt the best south
paw in the National league. He is
considered by many to be equally as
good as Ruth and Leonard, the IA
nous Boston portsiders. and from the
pitching he has done so far this sea
son there is no great argument that
can be advanced to offset Schupp's
standing in forkhanded ranks
Schupp has everything pitcher
needs. He is a quick thinker and
good fielder. His arm is strong as
steel. and he has a bewildering as
sortment Of fOOlerS as well as
change of pace. But. best Of all
when It is considered that Schupp
is a southpaw-he has control

Though McGraw has often been

Wilson, the 18th
 President of U. s.

WASHINGTON. March 5. - Woodrow Wilson is the 18th president of the United States, reckoning Clcveland's two terms as separate ones because he was the only president serving twice who was not reelected.
 Virginia leads in the nativity of presidents. Eight of her sons Washington. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harri- son Tyler, Taylor and Wilson have held the highest office in the gift of the nation.
 Chic has given six native sons to the presidency. They were Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benja- min Harrison, Mckinley and Taft.
 Of all the vacations in life the law has furnished most presidents. Nineteen chief executives of the United States were lawyers at the time they were elected. Three are classified as stateSmen; two dS SOlulClS, lWO dS ldi A4ACiS ,, OiiC as a public official.
 Seventeen presidents have been college men; one was graduated from West Point, nine had no collegiate education.
 English paternal ancestry has predominated among all the pres idents. Fifteen were of English extraction. Six were Scotch-Irish, three were Scotch. two were Dutch, one was Welsh.
 The youngest president, at the time of inauguration was Roose- welt, who was 46. The oldest was William Henry Harrison who was 6S.
 Of all the presidents, John Adams lived to the oldest age. He was 90 when ne died.

POSSIBILITY OF EXTRA SESSION
 LOOMS LARGE

PHOENIX, March ,. - With ad- journment sine die staring the legis- lature in the face, the appropriation bill still tied up in committee, the county redistricting bill in the air, the election law amendments lost in the shuffie and scores Of private measures of goodness, badness and indifference stringing along in the ruck, the Third State legislature swung into the home stretch this morning with every wheel greased and the machinery running in better order than at any time dur ing the session.
 Chairman Roberts of the senate ap- propriation committee expects to have the general revenue bill reported out tomorrow, when it will immediately be sent to the committee of the whole and take its place at the head of the calendar.
 It is known that there will be a de- termined fight made upon many of the provisions of the bill, which is fairly certain to extend over into Wednesday. Then a conference will be necessary and an attempt to get together on the part of the two houses with the chances not any too bright.
 The two propositions being dis cussed in committee and cloak rooms today are the possibility of inducing the members to remain on the job long enough after their pay stops to crowd the bill through, or the other alternative of adjournrng without ac ton, in which event it IS believed an extra session would be unavoidable
 The redlight abatement bill was killed again this morning when the senate refused to recede from its former action in attaching the refer endum clause to the bill Then it was resurrected on motion of Senator Winsor and a fresh conference com mittee appointed consisting of Senat- ors Winsor and Wilkinson, who are favorable to the bill, and Senator Hall who is opposed to it.

ROADS OPENING FOR SPRING
 TRAFFIC
TWO MAIN HIGHWAYS ARE OPEN BETWEEN PRES corr AND SOUTH; THE AUTO TOURIST. WILL BE NUMEROUS THIS YEAR.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)

There are signs Of Spring on the mountain roads leading into Prescott. Everywhere, the snow has melted of the highways, and where the sun strikes the hills warmly, of their sides. Some of the highways have stretches of mud, but these arc not long nor deep.
 Automobile travel between Prescott and the south is rc-established over both the main highways, the old road over Copper Basin hill and the newer one by the Black canyon. A number of cars have come down from Ash Fork during the past week, and re- ports of the drivers are that the road is in fair condition, except that the rutty floor of Chino valley is as usual, a poor place to travel
 County road gangs are now engag- ed in improving the highways and getting them ready for the rush of Spring traffic. One gang began dragging Bullwhacker Hill yesterday morning.
 Reports of stage drivers and others coming in from Humboldt are that this road is better though still rough from the wetting it received during the snow time. The loop roads are both in pretty fair shape
 Touring will start early this Spring, according to the chamber of com merce. which IS already in receipt of inquiries from many who will motor through Yavapai during the season about to open. Phoenix and other cities of the south of the State will again send great numbers of visitors north, and there is talk in the capital city of organizing another automobile run up to the pine clad hills during the heated term or more particularly, during the July holidays.
