few newspapers that arc still allowed TO
appear have been degraded into duii

hostile criticism is threatened with
death. Nobody ventures longer to speak
out freely. as the government has an
army OF spies. Death sentences have
already been pronounced and carried out
on persons whose only offence was TO OK
press douts as 70 the stability Of the So
Wet Republic. The correspondents OF
foreign newspapers at BUDAPEST are un-
der strict censorship: their dispatches
ci-u newspapers are not allowed to en-
ter Budapest.
The imppvcrishment Of the HunEari-
an people in soul and body also finds
expression. so far as Budapest Is con-
cerncd. in tho fact that nobody shows
any disposition to risk his life for O
Hungary OF the Soviet Republic. The
very few. despite the most energetic en-
listmcnt campaign and the favorable

listed men there is not the slightest de-

not the slightest signs OF a national re-

MORROW HERE.

Lucien Morrow, the Springfield, Mo,
flstic promoter, was in Memphis Tues
day on the way to Mayfield, KY, for
the Xmas holidays.
In punching the bag Morrow went
down on record as favoring Georges
Carpenter over Jack Dempsey, in case
the heayyweights meet in the near fu-
ture.
ITO my mind" opined Morrow,
Dempsey is nothing short of a big
flash. Unless he gets his man right
away he is no good. He has neither
pentier will worry him sick before he
finally steps in and puts across the win
ming punch"
Carpenter is quite picturesque fig
ure in the boxing world, as the follow
ing clipped from an exchange will YER
"There probably is not in the ring a
more picturesque figure than Carpen-
tier. He was born in Lens, France,
Jan. u. 1892 He was q years Of age
last January. He has been practically
out of the ring for five years, serving
| his country.
'While he is not a physical giant, he
| is feet 11h inches tall and weighs
about 1870 pounds. In type Of build he
| is similar to Kid Mccoy and Jim Cor
| bett, possessing much of the art and
| cunning of the former and the skill OF
the latter.
He began boxing in public when he
was Is years of age. He is a graduate
| of Grognet's gymnasium, and the latter
Is believed the best educator for a box
| er who contests. CARPENTER revelled in
| boxing bouts Losing never discour-
aged him. He took the bitter with the
sweet. The first year he boxed he wor

| 1908. when he was but 16 years of age
he scored two knockouts, won two bouts
/ and fought two draws with LIE Grand
Partisan rival. One was a 2O-rount
affair"

WAS REFUSED In S. L,

Tommy was turned away from the
Southern league as being no good de-
spite the fact that in exhibition games
and In every contest he worked he
showed an abundance of class, 1t IS
true that he was kid pitcher at the
time, but If ever a youngster appeared
promising 1t was Tommy. But Man
ager Carlton Molesw orth, of the Biz
mingham club, which team owned Long
refused to pay him any kind of de-
cent salary and Tommy tried to make
deal for himself to be traded or sold
to Memphis, his home town, Manager
Cy Barker also failed to see Tommy
as a pitcher.
Long worked against the Louisville
Colonies when Patsy Flaherty was
managing the Kentuckans, He made
big hit with Flaherty, who is a
smart baseball man and Pat promptly
got busy and made a deal which took
the Memphis youngster home with him
as a Colonel. From the beginning Long
showed a world Of class, He won
game after game and stood ard-hit-
/ ting teams on their heads, Through
out the season he was as steady as an
eight day clock and was a big factor
| In the good showing of the LouisVilz
| lans in 1919.
During the season quite few scouts
were buzzing around the Louisville
magnates asking for a bid on Long,
among which was a head hunter from
the Chicago White Sox who were in
desperate straits for pitcher TO help
Eddie Cicotte, Claude Williams, and
! Dicke Kerr in their efforts to bring
home the American league. pennant The
scout OF the Pale Hose sought to buy
Long at that time, but the price was
too steep, and instead of Long, Wtlkin-
son was taken on, It is remembered
that Wilkinson pitched in a rescue role
during. the big series against the Gin.

ANSWERS TO NIMRoDS.

Question--Have you any record of the
number OF gun clubs in the United
States? What Is the membership? Is
trapshooting increasing or decreasing?
Where will the next Grand American
handicap be held? T, E.GREGOR4'
Denver, Col.
Answer--The last estimate that have
seen was 1921 gun clubs, with mem
bership Of 161, $50. There were at that
time a great many gun clubs in. small
villages that were not registered, put
the above was approximately correct
Trapshooting is very much on the m
crease, as shown by American Trap
shooting reports This, in my judgment,
is due to the education of manEln the
service to shoot and handle guns. Upon
their return home they have been IN
teresting the rising generation IN the
use of handling firearms. This has ma
terialiv strengthened the ranks of trap
shooters and popularized this line Of
snort. The question of where the neXl
or 1920 Grand American handicap VIII
be held has not been decided by the
American Trapshooting association.
Ouestion-Has q man with lo-gauge

Ia? II not, why are 1O-gauge guns
barred in trapshooting? ,y.N

This was a tough break for Long.
who had counted on being with the
Sox in their memorable clash with the
Reds. Tommy was sore awhile and
then contented himself with the
thought that there was no such thing
as keeping squirrel on the ground
and that he would sooner or later get
his chance in the majors. '
The Louisville club Is counting on
Long as one OF their pitching aces dur
ing the season that is In the offing.
He showed sufficient class last season
to convince the Colonel magnates that
he has sufficient class to star in the
association, which is class IA, and he
also proved to quite few Of the old,
est scouts in the business that he had
the makings Of q star moundman.
With the draft being restored the
Louisville club will have to sell Tommy
or see him drafted, and as they are
certain to get three times as much by
a straight sale than waiting for the
draft, they promised Tommy that "
would be given his chance and that
he would positively be sold to a major
league club during the 1920.
Long isn't particular where he goes,
but has his preference. He would first
OF all perfer to play in Chicago. His
next choice would be Cleveland and
certain that one of these three clubs
will buy him, for all three have had
their scouts looking him over.
Tommy is wintering in Memphis, and
says he is anxious for the 1920 season
to arrive, for he feels that 1t means
for him the long sought opportunity tC
make the big attempt which will show
him whether or not he is destined fol
big things in his chosen profession.
