BROTHER ACT PULLED
BY RING STARS OF OLD
Mendoza and Humphrics Twice Re-
peat Championship Bout, First
in 1883.

They were holding heavy cham
pionship fights 1870 years ago. Daniel
Mendoza and Richard HUMPHREYS
fought for the title at Oldham, Eng.
January ., 1888.
Mendoza. Spanish Jew, is credited
with being the father OF scientific
boxing and one OF the earliest Of box
ing teachers. English aristocracy and
nobility were the principal patrons
OF Daniels fistic emporium which he
conducted on the Strand. Mendoza
enjoyed such success that other ring
experts followed his example and en-
tered into the teaching field.
John jackson. = six footer. was one
OF the best known OF Mendoza's sue
cessors as boxing instructor Lord
patrons OF boxing OF that day, twice
mentions Gentleman Jackson" as
he termed him. in his diary
A study Of the ring position. dress
and other features OF the champion
ship contestants Of 1888 enables one
to note how boxing has changed IN
$50 years Almost as great a change
has come over the sport a. has de-
veloped in the art OF making and
printing pictures.
The Mendoza -Humphrics battle at
Oldham was fought on = twenty four
foot oak platform. incloscd by a
wooden rail. HUMPHREYS was :-to-
favorite at the rinEside. hut for
twenty minutes after tho bout start
ed. Mendoza outboxcd him Then
the heavier EngIishman began to heat
through the Spaniard's defense and
after twenty-eight minutes the bat
tie ended in Humphries favor
Brother acts were Just as nu-
merous IN the good old days as at
present. II we are to believe the an
ctent ring chroniclers who say that
Mendoza reversed the verdict at Still
ton May 8. 1893. after hfsy-two min
utes OF fierce combat and repeated his
victory September 20. 1890 at Dom
caster. forcing HUMPHREYS to quit in
fifteen minutes.

CARPENTER LOOMS Up
AS TITLE CONTENDER
French Heavyweight Shows Old Form
In Defeating Dick Smith, OF Eng
land

New York, July 20.-C;eorge's Car
pentier, the European heavyweight
champion. looms up as possible con-
tender with Jack Dempsey for the
worlds championship by reason of
his victory over Dick Smith, the
British iight-heavy, in Paris last
night
IT was Carpenters first ring appear
ance in nearly FIVE years and his
showing against the Englishman gave
the lie to the stories Of his having
gone back and not being fit for a hard
battle. The real test of his fitness,
however, will come when he goes up
against Joe Beckett, holder of the
British heavyweight title, in London
on September 2.
In last nights bout Carpenter
showed himself to be possessed of his
old time punching power and whirl-
wind speed. He had things his own
way from start to finish. He fioored
smith twice before the knockout came
in the eighth round. II was remarked
that his tactics resembied those by
which Dempsey bested Willard--rush-
ing and carrying the fight to his OPP
ponent, so that the latter never had
a chance to get set"
1t was announced that Fred Fulton
has challenged the Frenchman and
while match between these two
iu'Sht. pave tue way lot a bout De-
tween Carpenter and Dempsey, 1t
would not serve to give much OF a lire
on the Frenchman's chances against
Dempsey, because Fulton did not last
long enough with Dempsey to give any
basis for comparison.
1t is understood that kearns and
Dempsey are both willing to take on
Carpenter II a match can be ar
ranged. Tex Richard also is under
stood to be willing to arrange proper
backin~ for such match, AZ he Is
confident that 1t would prove a greater
drawing card than the Dempsey VIII
lard affair. The middiewest. however,
Is not likely to set another chance at
match Of such magnitude. unless II
should be possible to hold 1t within
reach OF Chicago.

Careers Of Many Pitchers Ruined
BY Sustaining Slight lnjurie,
Cases Of Scupp Wood and Chalmers Cited to Prove Conte
on the Former Being the Most Recent to Fall Victim to
Accdent-Rests Do No Good.

Pitching arms are as fragile as
Dresden china. More than one young
Ringer nearing the crest Of his career
suddenly has had to pop out Of tho
pastin1ing because he was unfortunate
enough to derange his hurting APP
paratus.
A fresh case that brings this
thought to mind has been the expert
ence Of Ferd Schupp, the brilliant
New York southsider. who In 1917
pitched the Giants to a pennant by
winning twenty-one games out OF
twenty -eight starts, and followed this
feat by blanking the White Sox. to
0. in the fourth game Of the worlds
series that fall.
When the season of 1918 opened
McGraw thought he had one Of the
best pitchers In the country. but some
thing happened to Schupps arm and
the big winner OF 1917 could only
pitch thirty-three innings in the
whole season OF 1918 and was ON
cially charged with one defeat and not
credited with any wins.
1t was thought that q long rest
would restore the strength to Schupps
arm but on the training trip 1t was
soon evident that the trouble had not
been removed. and while McGraw is
holding on to the iefthander there il
no reason for believing he ever will
be Of any use to the Giants. This Is
rought on Schupp. who now Is just
twenty-seven years old and had big
future and fat pay envelope ahead
OF him.
New York will probably keep
Schupp this season. but II he doesn't
show signs Of coming back he will
not be with the Manhattan combina-
ton next year. =,
There never was a more pathetic
case Of a pitching career ruined by In
jured arm than that Of George Chalm-
ers, the former Phil. Chalmers came
to the Phils in the fall Of 1910 and
his debut was to blank the Giants.
In 1911 he showed promise OF de-
velopins into a star. But something
happened In the fall OF 1911.
After the close of the season
Chalmers went on a playing jaunt to
Cuba with a number OF other Phils,
On the way over, while skylarking on
tn deck of the steamship. Chalmers
fell down a comparionway. 1t would
have been an ordinary accident for
any one except a pitcher. His pitch
ing arm was under him as he fell and
iigaments were torn.
Chalmers did not pay much atten-
ton to the injury until the following
8. ring. when he found he could not
use his arm. He never was able to
pitch many games after that and In
1915 was sent to New York, only to

Returned Soldiers Can Secure
Good Jobs on Farms.

Spring work is progressing
slowly in some of the farming
sections of Tennessee, but pros
poets at this time are fairly
good. There is a shortage of
farm labor near Memphis and
Nashville, but enough men are
available in the cities if they
can be connected with farm jobs.
Farmers should not forget to an
ticipate their farm labor needs
as far in advance as possible
the rush season will soon be here.
More of our soldier boys are
returning every day and are
asking no charity but only an
opportunity to work. Farmers
should try to find place for
these boys. They will be serv-
ing the double purpose of getting
their work done and doing their
duty by the boy who served in
the trenches.
There ars also a few married
men, experienced farmers, who
are looking for places. Get a
tenant house built or repaired if
you want to get and keen a man
Of this Kind
Soldiers will need jobs in large
numbers, and farmers will need
help in the future as they have
in the past. Many soldiers at
present are not willing to go to
farms because of the lonesome
ness. Farmers must treat these
men in the very best way possi-
BILE, and give them a chance to
have some social privileges, if
they hope to keep them on the
farms.
