only inconsistent, writes AL Palma in

that OF Dick Rudolph. The Bronx hurler
held out almost half a season a couple
Of years ago because the Boston Braves
would not give him tho big salary he
demanded. Yet Rudolph came over to
Brooklyn the other day and for a COM
p%aratively paltry sum, worked pretty
nearly as hard as he does in a major
league game.
Casey Stengel Is another example.
When Casey was traded to Philadelphia
by the Pirates for George Wtitted, he
refused to report because the Philadel-
phia club would not meet his demands.
On tho face of such things, he was Of
fered Just AS much as the Pirates were
paying him, Instead OF reporting, STEM

PARIS OVERLOOKED.

PARIS. Dec. 6.--Paris today was over
joyed by the victory of Georges Car
peneier over Joe Beckett in the boxing
contest in London Thursday evening.
From the comment everywhere heard it
seemed that Paris desires to stage a
battle between Jack Dempsey, the Amer
lean, and Carpenter for the worlds
heavyweight championship.
M. Decoin, manager of the Wonder
land Sporting club of Paris, told the
Associated Press today that he had
sent a cablegram to Dempsey asking
his terms for a 20-round fight with
Carpenter on Frances national holiday,
July IA. Canton Vidal and Henry Tate,
members of parliament, representing
the athletes of France. said they would
secure the great Pershing stadium for
a battle between the American and the
Frenchman.
pion of the world and the French cham
pion of Europe must take place either
in Paris or in the United States" said
Vidal. ut would be a sad reflec-
ton on the sporting spirit of France,
and also that of America If the battle
were allowed to take place in England.
We understand that there are difficult
Mtles in the way of securing a battle
ground in America, but this matter
can easily be arranged here, and we
are going to make a pid for the fight
NJ. Decoin, who is backed by Prince
Murat, and other prominent sportsmen,
said today he had telegraphed Jimmy
Bronson, of Joplin, Mo, who organized
the American expeditionary force bouts,
to ask Dempsey for terms n declared
that he was determined to make a
strong bid for a fight between Demp-
