TO TRY FOR FIGHT
Will Meet Kearns and Dempsey
To Talk Match With
... Carpenter.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o-The race for
Jack Dempsey's signature to a set Of
articles calling for a championship
battle with Georges Carpenter was
enlivened today by the arrival here
from London of George Mcdonald,
representing c. B. Cochran.
Mcdonald promptly wired Jack
kearns, Dempsey's manager, reiterat-
ing Cochran's offer of $500, 900 for the
proposed battle in London.
When told that kearns had de-
manded $500. 900 for the bout, McDon-
aid said he believed the manager Of
the champion was "spoofing," and ex-
pressed confidence that he will land
Dempsey for the bout in London.
Mcdonald will leave for the West
TO meet kearns and Dempsey shortly
unless the champion and his manager
can be induced to come East or to
meet him at some central point.
Il don't say that Carpenter can
beat Dempsey" said Mcdonald today,
but he will surprise him. The
Frenchman will beat anybody he can
hit solidly, for he has tremendous
punching power, and he is wonder
fully skillful and clever. Dempsey
must be a wonderful fighter, too. I
haven't seen him. but he had to be
good to defeat Jess Willard SO easily.
I've seen many great fighters, includ-
ing John L. Sullivan, however, and I
am convinced that Carpenter ranks
with the best Of them"

WEST VIRGINIA BATTLES
YALE ELEVEN NEXT YEAR
Momtaineers Decide to Face Ellis in
New Haven Bowl for
- First Time.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va. Dec. 90
The most important football game
ever arranged for a West Virginia
University football team was defin-
itely settled here today, when 1t was
announced that Yale would be played
at the Bowl on Saturday, October %
next. The date is important on the
Yale card and, OF course. will be a
crucial battle for the Mountaineers.
1t marks the first gridiron engare-
ment between the two elevens.
There was much diversity Of opinion
here as to whether or not the game
should be arranged, because Prince
ton had previously been booked for
October 80, the Saturday following
the date offered by Yale. but 1t was
finally decided to risk these two major
engagements on successive Saturdays,
in spite of the fact that West Vir-
ginia's material will be poorer than
that of the successful year just closed.

TO GRID BATTLE
Rex A. C. viii Take on Dread
noughts Despite Adverse Con-
ditions Tomorrow.

Regardless Of weather conditions
the Rex Athletic Club-Dreadnought
A. c. football game will be staged at
Union Park tomorrow. This is the
statement eminating from the rival
camps today.
AS a result, football fans are likely
to be treated to an innovation. Early
today Promoter f. Lawrence Phillips
had gang Of workmen on the field
clearing off the snow. 1t is expected
that by nightfall all Of the white
stun will be off and in piles on one
side Of the field.
Not since the -Usaacs
game at American League Park three
years ago have fans here seen a foot
ball battle in the snow. Tomorrow's
contest will be staged under north
pole. conditions.
In the event Of rain it is expected
that the field will be thoroughly dried
out by burning gasoline. Promoter
Philips promises to have things ship
shape II there is any chance to be
provided.
The teams are ready after a weeks
work indoors. The Rex players have
worked out In the Northeast Temple
while the Dreadnoughts have been
practicing in Alexandria in the
armory.
The Virginians will come here
heavily backed. Their record is ex-
ceptional, as they have won all their
games but one by a wide margin,
and have been scored on but once.
Camp Humphreys came nearest to
defeating the Dreadnoughts, but lost
by to s.
The Rex players will outweigh the
visitors somewhat. Should the field
be heavy this advantage will stand
the District titleholders in stead.

pitched but one complete con-
test. He finished twenty-five
games for ailing members Of
McGraw's staff and hung I'D
an average Of 900 by winning
six and losing four. He twirled
132 innings for the Giants, fac
ing 542 men. He gave 119
base hits, hit two batsmen,
walked thirty-seven and famed
thirty-two of the enemy. He
contributed one wild pitch to

Grin Tried Out Many.
Before May 80, when he obtained
Chick Gandil and finally got his team
away on its great seventeen straight
victories, Manager Griffith tried out
many players. He continued to ex-
pertinent too. whenever the necessity
arose. For instance, Jack knight
was tried at second base in 26 games
before getting the can. Dutch Schae-
fer played In l6 games at second base.
LaPorte played in 81 games there
before succumbing to the competition
offered by Ray Morgan, who had join

Tilly Walker never showed any class

In 1912, during the winter before
the season began, Griff released most
