ANOTHER OLD TIMER
 WAS JACK CARTER

Jack Carter, one of the most inter- esting of the fighters of a century ago, was born in Manchester. England, on this date in 1789. He was introduced to the London ring in 1872, and, after several good fights, was whipped by Tom Molineaux, the American negro scrapper. In 1916 he defeated Stevenson and Robinson, two other negro pugilists, and he followed up these victories by besting the re- nowned Tom Oliver, who had never before been beaten. Garter was look ed upon as the real champion, al- though Tom Cribb still held the title until 1919, when Tom Spring put him out of the running. Later he spent three and a half years in the hulks on the accusation-which his friends always declared false-that he had stolen a five pound note On his re- lease he returned to the ring and challenged Jem Ward, but the Black Diamond gave him an awful drub- ping. Carter was 43 years old when he fought his last battle with "Deaf' Burke as his opponent The stakes were only $50 a side, and Burke got the coin, old Carter breaking his arm. Carter then quit the game and settled down in Manchester, where he died in 1844.

IN THE SPORT WORLD
MAJOR LEAGUES ID PLAY BALL IN COMING SEASON
William F. Baker Says Teams Will Be Stronger Than
 Last Year.

''The baseball leagues will resume operations next spring" said President William F. Baker of the Philadelphia National League club yesterday. Tn fact there does not seem to be any valid reason why the big leagues should not get back into action.
 Next spring conditions will be pretty close to normal. By that time the great majority of soldiers on this side of the water will have been de- mobilized, and possibly a good number of those now in Europe will be here. We should be able to start with as strong lineups as We did year ago, if not stronger.
 While some of the ball players in service reached France the big ma jority of them still are in America Of our eight men in service, Whitted, Dill hoeffer, McGaffigan and Tincup still are at Camp Merritt. As far as we know only Lieut.. Rixey, one of our | first players to enter service, is on the other side.
 "A lot of our boys entered ship yards after the season closed last Labor Day, but they are doing real work.
 ''The reason I feel SO certain that | baseball is coming back into it's own | is the fresh interest I have noted in | the game in the last week. A fort night ago no one thought of talking baseball and 1t seemed to be a subject | that was taboo. But since the sign ] ing of the armistice I have been sur prised at the number of men who have made inquiry as to whether we would take the field in 1918.
 "I have no doubt that the public will be keen for the retutn of baseball and will support it as literally as heretofore
 Lieut.. David F'ulz of the Aviation Corps and former president of the Players Fraternity, will make no at tempt to reorganize the organization Asked yesterday whether there wa: any chance of the Fraterity being resurrected Fultz smiled and replied T don't think so; at least not under my direction.
 Starting the fraternity up agair would be a hard and unthankful task and I doubt if it could be done. know I had my troubles with it ant am willing to confess I have ha6 enough. doubt very much if any one would be brave enough to try to pu the Fraternity on its feet again.

INTERNATIONAL!
 EGG CONTEST

Three of the pens which were men tione!5 in the leading five during the first week of the laying contest at Stors also figured among the win ners during the second week. A pen of Rhode Island Reds from Laurel Hill Farm, Bridgeton, R. L, again won first place with a production Of 31 eggs. 4 pen of White Wyandottes belonging to Obed G. Knight of Bridgeton, R. l., duplicated it's per formance of the previous week by ty- ing for second place with a pen of White Leghorns belonging to D. Tan cred of Kent, Wash, each pen pro- ducing 2S eggs. Third place for the week was won by pen of White Leghorns from the William L. Gilbert Home at Winsted, Conn.,, with a yield of 27 eggs. o. L. Magrey's White Wy andottes from Middlebury, Conn, were again in fourth place with @ pIDduc- ton of 24 eggs. The total yield for all pens amounted to T01 eggs, or at the rate of 10 per cent. A fact of special interest is that White Plymouth Rock 1 No 1S2 belonging to H. A. Wilson of Hollis, N. H., which was the only pull let to lay seven eggs during the first week, was able to do the same thing in the second week. In other words, this bird has laid every day since coming to Storrs.
 It is perhaps reasonable to suppose that after sending birds to the laying contest for two or three years a poul- tryman should become more or less expert at picking out those individuals which will lay better than the aver age. Tabulated results on the seventh contest which closed two weeks ago indicate that within certain limits this is true. The 45 pens whose owners
 were entering birds for the first time
 averaged to lay 1,5S0 eggs for the
 year, 23 pens whose owners were en-

NAVY TO HAVE

 race at Madison Square Garden the
 week of Dec. 1 to ' by Clarence Car
 man of Jamaica, the noted sprinter and pace follower. Carman, who en-
 listed in the navy at the close of last years grind, in which he finished fifth with Wiley as partner, sent in his entry yesterday from the United States
 Naval Station at Gulfport, Miss He
 writes that he has been in training for two weeks and will arrive here
 early next week to finish his prepara-
 tory work at Vailsburg.
 Michael de Baetz, the Belgian, also sent in his entry yesterday and will be i teamed with Carman. Another con- bination made yesterday by the Race Committee is that of Vincenzo Varri
 of Italy anad Pete Drobach of Boston. This is considered one of the best teams in the race.
 Drobach first entered the race in 1911 and has been a competitor ever since. Last year he had Brenda as a partner and finished eighth. With Halstead as a partner he finished fourth in 1911, sixth with Collins ir 1 1912, fourth with Halstead in 1913 second with Lawson in 1914, ninth

'FRAzEE WANTS
 ONE-MAN COURT l FOR BASEBALL
Owner of Worlds Champions Advocates New Commission
 for Game.

Harry H. Frazee, owner of the worlds champion Boston Red sox, has started a campaign for a one-man National Commission, in place of the board of three which now makes up basebalrs highest court. Frazee yes terday made known his project, and it is expected that other club owners will favor the scheme before the leagues hold their annual meetings next month.
 The Boston owner believes that a man of national reputation who has no interest whatever in the game, should serve as the arbitrator of all CT anE the officials of the Chicago Ma tional League club, started an agita- ton against the commission during the worlds series in Boston last fall. At that time, there was some friction between the commission and the owner of the champions, and this feel ing has grown more bitter in the meantime.
 Since the signing of the National Agreement several years ago, August Hermann of Cincinnati, owner of the Reds, has served as chairman of the commission at a salary of about $10,OGO a year. The presidents of both major | leagues also serve on the commission The other salaried position on the board is that of secretary, held by John E. Bruce of Cincinnati.
 The commission has always given the National League two votes and the American League only one and 1 this situation has been the cause of almost continual controversy. Pres ident F'razee of the Boston club advo- cates an official to serve as a commits sion whose yerdicts would be entirely impartial. This is only one of the many innovations which are being contemplated in the executive end o1 the game and with the opening of the season of 1919 practically assured by the ending of the war, it is likely that there will be more than one shake-uT in the executive ranks of the sport al 1 the annual meeting early in Decem.

GEORGE BROWNE IS
 42 YEARS OLD TODAY

George Browne, who was a star CutfeIder with the worlds champion Giants of 1905, was born in Wash ington forty-two years ago today. He was ninenteen when he joined the Lynchburg, Va, club of the Virginia League, but it was soon disbanded. His next appearance was with Tren- ton, in the New Jersey State League, and this club also went on the rocks of financial misfortune. After that he played with Dubuque, Ia; Troy, Auburn, Oswego and Elmira, N. Y, and Toronto in the Eastern League, before he broke into the National in 1902. He was signed by the Phillies, but released to the Giants and remained with New York until 1908, when he played with the Bos- ton Nationals. In 1909 he played with his native city, and finished his major league career in 1910 with thc Chicago White Sox. In his prime Browne was one of the best outfield- CTS in baseball.

ANNIVERSARY OF ONE
 OF RINGS GREATEST BOUTS

Tomorrow will be the 129th anni- versary of one of the greatest bouts in the history of the puginstic arena. Tom Johnson, the champion fighter of England, defended his title against Isaac Perrins. The former was a Londoner, while Perrlns hailed from Birmingham, and a good-natured rivalry between the sporting men of the two cities added interest te the bout. Several thousand spectators from all over the island assembled at Banbury, in Oxfordshire, to witness the memorable encounter, and a great deal of money was wagered on the result. The followers of Perrins were so confident that they offered two to one. Although the champion was a big fellow, standing five feet ten inches and weighing about 190 pounds, he seemed almost a dwarf beside the giant Perrins, six feet three and weighing 240 pounds.
 The ring was pitched in a field. After a rattling exchange of blows Johnson landed on Perrin's ear and the latter went down, ending the first round. The end of the second round o6 6dA+A AOuAA0 NlAC 4SAL Hill , l1Gllll SldlAlA stretched on the turf. Twice more Johnson sent his opponent down, and the spirits of the Birmingham men began to slump. They revived a bi in the following round, when Perrin! put over a terrible blow to the jaw that sent the champion spraw wiling Johnson was groggy and bloody ot nose when he came up for the sixth He soon recovered, however, and il the eighth landed a blow that gavt Perrins a black eye for many days t( come, In the ninth the champion alst acquired a bloody optic, and honor were even. The thirteenth round wa ended by a stiff right that laid opel the Birmingham mans cheek almos to the bone. Round after round pass ed without any decision. In the 56tl Johnson went down before a smasl that nearly put him out of commis sion. Perrins was also badly battere and could hardly stand. In the 62 both men were all in and it was evi dent that whichever could land an sort of blow would be the victor Johnson was the lucky man, and al though his final punch had no stean it put Perrins down and out.

MIDDIES WORK

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 21-Gilmore Dobie and his men of the Naval Aca- denny are working desperately to pre- pare for the football game against the Great Lakes Naval Station on Saturday but are contending against adverse conditions.

 A hard blow was given the team yesterday when Mutlere. the big half back, was seized with tonsiIitis, and he may not be able to play on Satur- day. He is the only backfieId man who has lost no time on account of l illness or injury this year. It also | is doubtful if Roberts, another veter- an back, will be sufficiently recover | ed to play.

Otis Lambeth, former Cleveland pitcher, who is in the same artillery regiment in France that includes Grover Cleveland Alexander, Chuck Ward, Clarence Mitchell and other ball players, has been awarded a medal for bravery in action, accord ing to information which recently reached his friends in Cleveland. Lam- beth was born in Berlin, Kan, and one of his greatest wishes was to get to Berlin, Germany, because he want ed to see if the two towns resembled each other in anything more than name.
 Ban Johnson, president of the American League, Is not inclined to rush matters in regard to resuminy the pennant races next year because of the turn of events in Europe, He IS Of the opinion that the major leagues must make their plans care fully and wait for a return of former conditions, just as every other busi- ness in the country must gradually change from a war to a peace basis The leagues at present cannot tel | how many first class players they will be able to sign for 1919, and St Johnson is advising against adoptine playing schedules for next season, Ht is of the opinion that 1t will be bes to let matters rest until next Febru ary, when the club owners will hay, a much better line on the future O. the national pastime.

Take a glass of Salts before
breakfast il your Back hurts
or Bladder is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authoT!ty Meat forms
uric acid which eXcitcs the kidneys.
they become over-worked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste ard poisons from the blood
then We get sick. Nearly all rheunaa-
tism. headaches, liver trouble nervous
ness, dizziness, sleeplessnesS and ur-
mary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full at
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of 'scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy: take tablespoonful in glass
of wafer before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice. com
bined with Iithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine SO 1t no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithiawater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
compiled tions.-Adv.
