IN GOOD SHAPE
Sergeant Mentally, of U. S.
Army, Meets the French
Champion in Bout.

Holyoke, Mass, Feb. 14.-One Yam
kee soldier boy has had a tryout
against Georges Carpenter, the light
heavyweight champion Of Europe, and
the French fighter 'Is good" says the
Yankee.
The Sammy is Sergt. William Nc
Naily, Of this city, a member Of the
seventh field artillery. American ex-
peditionary force, somewhere in
France"
Months ago It was reported that
Carpenter was TO be given a leave
Of absence and would come to the
United States to stack up against
some of Uncle Sans leading "pugs,"
but the French champions plans for
trip to this side apparently fell
through. However, Carpenter, judg-
ing from letter received here from
Sergt. McNally, is managing to keep
himself in trim for action in the
squared circle, in addition to doing his
bit in licking the kaiser.
Sergt. McNally in his letter SAYS:
7 fought G. Carpenter three rounds.
This was put on for the officers. He's
good, and he'd kill me in a long run,
but I held my own for the three
rounds" Besides his bout with Car
pentier. McNally has been in eight
other matches and won them all He
fought the champion Of the battery
and knocked him out in four rounds.
and he also fought Mccormick. a New
7 ork scrapper who is over there"
and got the shade on him in ten
rounds. Friends Of the HOlyoke sol
Cier look to him to develop rapidly
in the ring game and figure that he
may yet become a contender for the
worlds heavyweight championship.

RULE ADOPTED
Horsemen Decide That Ami
mails Must Be Entered
Under Owners Name.

New York, Feb. 14.-All horses tax
ing part in races under the auspices
of the National Trotting association
must in the future be entered under
the names of their real owners and
must so appear in the published list
of entries, under amendments made to
the associations rulings at it's 18Th
annual meeting here today. Several
other important changes were made
in the regulations, and a committee
report, recommending the amalgama-
ton of the National and American
Trotting associations was adopted.
Changing the rule governing en-
tries, it was declared that horses may
be entered under the names of their
racing stables. if the stable name had
registered with the association, for
which a fee of SIS is to be charged.
It was also decided that application
for the removal of penalty imposed
for starting a horse out of its class
or under changed name, or under both,
shall not be docketed for hearing by
the board of review until all the IN
lawful winnings have been returned.
The owner must then pay q recording
fee for change of name, as well as a
fine of $3.50.

Bringing in Runs by
Hard Smuggling.

Henry Zimmerman of the Giants

ing the National league batsmen in
driving in runs-a trick he turned IN
1912, when he was with the Cubs. The
Bronxonian drove in 100 TALES. be-
ing the one century plant OF the
campaign. Hal Chase OF Cincinnati,
the 1916 leader. ran the great Zim
a close race for the honors. finishing
second with a total OF 50 driven home.
Zimmerman drove in about 20 per
cent Of his teams runs. He had an
advantage over some Of his club
mates in batting No 4 but it is sell
dom that a player so advantageously
placed is responsible for such a great
number of tallies

Kilbane has promised not to enter

declared, and there is no telling how
long that will be. While he may get
a certain amount of exercise going
through the motions OF boxing for
the benefit Of the soldiers at the
camp he is teaching. that cannot take
the place of real fighting.
It also is likely that ring followers

Dempsey uncorked some real big

IL is not generally known, but IL is
