Look out for gold and tennis cham

That's the word which comes from

Is dnaL
Championships were discontinued for
patriotic reasons. but as the season
wore On in 1917 it was realized that
the matter had been a little too vivid

championship matches would not be
unpatriotic, even though some of the
best contestants In both sports would
Be unable to compete on account of

WAR TO MAKE
new BASEBALL
National Pastime Will Be
international Sport as Re-
suit of World War.
By y. c. LANE.

E1llor Baseball magazine.
We wonder IL you realize that base
ball thrives on war.
Our civil war made baseball Ameri-
cas- national sport. The soldiers play
ed baseball in their leisure hours.
and when they disbanded they carried
home with them a lasting love for
the game.
The present world conflict m the
same way is making baseball the in
ternationaI game.
With the first signs OF spring tho
crack of the bat will be heard liter
ally around the world-in every al
lied camp.
Baseball during our first year in
the war gave the American people
their chief diversion and recreation
the season winding up in a great
climax, with record-breaking worlds
series crowds.
Washington has warned Us that
the ISIS war strain will be more Sc
we're than any other year-regardless
OF the wars duration,
Baseball will do its BIT at this
critical time. not as a luxury. but as
a necessity. Baseball will furnish
relief from the tense mental strain
which awaits growing casualty lists
Baseball viii give needed diversion
to the soldier in the trenches. 10 the
drafted man in the training camps,
TO the laborer and the artisan and
the business man in our cities Base
ball, in short, will act as a national
escape valve for feelings too strong
to be suppressed Baseball Is as
necessary in time OF war as aumu-
milton or khaki uniforms.
From thoughts OF bursting shells
and blood and carnage the great
American public turns with a sense
OF relief to the baseball diamond,
with its peace and health and sanity.
In like maner the great Americarf
public, wearied and surfeited by war
news, turns from the sensational
headlines to baseball scores and TO
uhis great sport which has become
one Of the needs Of the hour.

all sporting devotees.N
Ammunition for the tran shooter

Handicap will cost the contestants
thousands OF dollars more than the

CARPENTER is.
GOING BACK
c o c kt ails and Cigarettes
Are Getting in Successful
Work onFrench Champ.

Under Paris date line II. @. Wales
writes in the New York American:
George Carpenter has boxed in pub
lie for the second time since the be-
ginning Of the war. three and a half
years ago. As on the other occasion.
his appearance was at the Trocadero
across the Seine from the Eiffel
Tower, where a benefit for wounded
soldiers was held.
The French champion has been IN
the ring on other occasions, especially
during the last year. 1t Is more than
eight months since Carpenter has
been actively engaged at the front a.
the pilot Of a two-seated French OBJ
servation Rsroplane-a bimotor Cau-
dorm. Last November the boxer con-
tracted q se yere cold. which settled
on his chest, and he was granted con-
valescent leave, which he spent al
Nice. returning to Paris after New
Years.
His leave was extended. on his'phy-
sician's recommendation. as IL was
announced that Carpenters nerves
were bad and that his diges-
ton was impaired. Nevertheless the
champion was much In evidence at
the various bars and restaurants with
his big Belgian police dog.
Carpenter was very lean when
stripped in the ring last March in a
six-round exhibition bout with a
husky French heavyweight. But at
the Trocadero he seemed thinner than
ever-even to the point of emaciation.
It seemed as though he could wear q
No. 10 collar. His cheeks are fallen.
his neck is "stringy" and there seems
scarcely an ounce of flesh on his
body.
George boxed two two-minute rounds
again Fernand Campagne. who OUT
weighed him by thirty pounds, It
seemed, and four two-minute rounds
with Jules Lenacers, the Belgian
heavyweight. The Frenchman showed
all his old-time flashing speed against
both during the first half of the sec
ond contest. But 1t could be seen
plainly that he was tired and blown
during the last two rounds.
TOO many cigarettes" called the
champions friends from their ring
side seats as CARPENTERS chest ana
stomach dilated. and contracted like a
bellows under the pace the plodding
Belgian led to the wind-up. But Car
pentier maintained allof his old-time
popularity with the fans.
American boxing fans who saw the
show" bith civilians and soldiers.
were unanimous in the opinion that
Georges must quit the cigarettes and
cocktails and do a lot of honest-to-
goodness training II he expects to go
to the United States and pick up some
money for the Red Cross or do prop
aganda work" or Anything else, unless
he wants to leave his title in America.

STILL
LOOKS CLOUDED
Fans Continue to Argue as
to Whether Gans-McGov-
ern Fight Was Faxed.
The Avenue at Ninth

Chicago, Jan. 2-It was II years
ago that Joe Cans. the "old mas
ter" among the Iight-weights, was
knocked out by Terrible Terry Nc
Govern in Chicago. That battle has
been and still is the subject OF rabid
discussion among boxing bugs, and
the anniversary revives the old Ques-
ton, Was it a fake?'
Cans himself admitted that he had
entered into a "gentlemen's agree
ment" before the battle, and by its
terms was to succumb gracefully be-
fore the onslaughts of the Brooklyn
ite in the fourth round. He declared
that he had found McGovem able
to administer more punishment than
he cared to take. as he himself was
under an agreement not to do any
thing IN the way Of real retaliation,
and he therefore decided to quit in
the second round instead Of in the
fourth.
That may be the real explanation
of the matter, but there are still
many admirers of the Terrible Terry
who steadfastly believe that he sd-
ministered a real knockout Ger
tainly the coloned man gave an eK-
celIent imitation Of a man who had
assimilated a hotter punch than he
could stand. The newspaper scribes
were virtually unanimous in crying
fake" but nobody beliered that
Terry had anything to do with the
fixing. The Brooklyn whirlwind al
ways fought to win. and no sus-
picion was ever attached to his ca
reer. Cans, great fighter and thor
ough gentleman OF color as he was,
was mixed up in many affairs that
were a trifle shady, 10 say the least
In signing to meet McGovern in
Chicago on December Is, 1900. Cans
had agreed TO stop his opponent with
in six rounds. A lot of wise" money
was wagered on the result, and il
was some time before Cans was able
to get back into the good graces OF
the sporting fraternity. Eventually
he triumphed, and defeated Frank
Erne for the lightweight champion,
ship of the world at Fort Erie. On.
tario. in 1890. He defended his title
against Jimmy Britt, and defeated
the Californian; he whipped Battling
Nelson at Goldheld. but later lost
his title to the Dane. Considering
the Gans-McGovern fight as genuine
it gives the distinction of being the
only champion in the history OF tht
ring to be knocked out and after.

GOOD MATMEN
MAKE MONEY
Topnotch Grapplers in the
Heavyweight Division
Amass Big Fortunes.

New York. Jan. 2.-The topnotch-
ers among heavyweight wrestIers
are the best moneymakers in the
realm Of sports.
This will sound like bunk to nine
out of every ten readers of the
sporting pages, for the average fol-
lower of sports. If asked which line
of professional sports offers the
best returns. will name baseball or
boxing.
/ Yet no ball player or boxer has
ever been known to earn as much
as a million grand on the diamond
or in the ring, while there are sew
eral stars of the mat fame who
have carried away that much coin
from the box Offices during their
careers in the wrestling business.
George V. Touhey, veteran wres-
Ting promoter in Boston and other
Eastern cities. said recently that
the successful wrestler can make
more money than any other star in
sportdom, and quoted figures which
he claims are authentic, or nearly
so, to prove his statement.
Touhey says that Giovannia
Raicevich. the italian champion.
amassed fortune of $1.50O,O0O in
Europe before the war broke out.
He estimates that George Hacken-
schmidt, the Russian Lion, earned
more than $1.000.0O0 on the mat
and places George Zurich and Alex
Aoerg in the Millionaire wrestler
class.
Frank Gotch, according to latest
estimates. made all of $350,O0O out
OF wrestling, and Stanislaus Zbys-
zko' or Poland. Is said to have
earned as much as s65O.000 during
his active career.
DR.. Roller. Americus. Stecher, Or
deman, Westergaard. Linow, Hus-
sane and other heavyweight grap-
piers have earned all the way from
$4,000 to 100000 in the mat game.
and Earl Caddock. had he continued
In the game. could have soon
amassed a fortune.
The wrestler, unlike the boxer,
can compete six nights in every
week where the wrestling game is
good. And If he isn't lazy he soon
collects a, bank roll that would give
greyhound an awful .tussIe. The
average wrestler collects 100 per
cent of the purses he earns, for he
doesn't bother with a manager,
Compared to the ball player, who
earns a stated sum of money and
works but five months in the year,
the wrestler has twelve months to
work. and when he lines up for big
matches he gets big money.
European wrestlers have made
more money than those in America,
yet the topnotchers among Amer!-
can grapplers are all well fixed
well enough to have suger in their
coffee and meat on the table. even
in these trying times.

New York. Jan. 2.-whether the

with success or not, IL seems the
fans of this city will not have to
travel very far for their entertain
ment in the near future. A deter
mined effort to legalize the sport
in New Jersey is being made and,
according to the latest official COM
muniques from the front, there is
every reason to believe the EFFORT
will be crowned with success.
At least three bills already have
been drafted and will be offered
for the approval Of the Legislature
when it convenes at Trenton soon
