O'DOWD RENEWS Def
TO FRENCH CHAMPION

Mike O'Dowd. middleweight cham
pion. has renewed his challenge to
Georges Carpenter. the heavyweight
champion of Europe. ODowd wants
to battle the French fighter before
any club that will put on the bout.
and, moreover, he does not want the
world with a fence around it for his
end O'Dow.d is nearly as big as Car
pentier and believes that because of
the life he led during the war Car
pentier will not be able to give Demp-
sey anything like a fight. Paddy Null
Inns, manager of ODowd, is likewise
confident of the result Of a meeting
with the Frenchman.
"ODowd is the logical American
to fight Carpenter" says Mullins.
Dempsey is not the man to go
against the Frenchman. That wouldn't
be a fight; it would be murder"
ODowd claims Carpenter made a
poor showing against Dick Smith. a
fighter he knocked out in three rounds
during the interallied tournament.
O'Dowd's next fight will be in De-
troit before Christmas. His opponent

DEMPSEY MUST REDUCE
| HIS DEMANDS FOR FIGHT
Impossible for French Promoters
to Pay so Per Cent of Receipts,
Their Representative Says.

MILWAUKEE,, December 20.-That
Jack Kearns. manager of Jack Demp-
sey. will have to reduce his demands
for so per cent of the receipts for a
bout with Georges Carpenter in Paris
next July was the staement made to-
day by B. F. Steinel, Milwaukee rep
resentative of Theodore Vienne and
his associates.
Mr.. Steinel said that it is entirely
out of the question for a promoter in
France to pay any such percentage.
and he figures that $1,000. 900 gate
would have to be taken in before
there would be any profit Thee are
several laws to pay by French pro-
moter- First. there is the war tax on
amusements, which amounts to 10 per
cent. Then comes the 10 per cent poor
tax, which goes to a fund for indi-
gents. and. thirdly. it is the custom
In France to give 10 per cent of the
entire receipts to the newspapers in
lieu of advertising. OF course, in a
big contest like the Carpentier-Dem
sey match, the newspaper percentage
would undoubtedly be cut down to 5
per cent, he said.
Thus. the promoter would have 10
per cent to work with. Out of this
Dempsey would demand two-thirds
Of the money. leaving 25 per cent to
pay Carpenter and all the promo
tion expenses" said Mr.. Steinel.

RULE REVISION MAY LEGALIZE
THOSE UNNECESSARY" HOMERS

One of the important propositions to
be considered by the joint committee
which has been empowered to revise the
playing rules is the scoring of home
runs on balls hit over the fence at a
stage of the game when a single. double
or triple can score the winning run.
1t often happens in the last half of
the ninth or in extra innings that there
is a runner on base with the winning
run, which he scores on a long hit by
another batsman. As the rules now
stand the batsman can be credited only
with enough extra bases to account for
the run.
IL the runner, for instance. scores
from first base the batsman receives
credit for a triple. If he is on second
the scorer can call the hit either a single
or a double. and if he scores from third
the hit is recorded as a single.
1t is proposed that when batSman
loses a ball over the fence and breaks
up a game ne shall be credited with a
home run whether he actually circles

the bases or not. On long hits inside
the grounds the scorer will need more
specific instructions. however.
If this proposal receives favorable con-
sideration il may be possible for the
home team to win after the eighth in
ming by a margin of more than one run.
II, for instance, the bases should be
filled, with only one run needed to win,
a home run would put the winners in
front by three runs. Obviously the
home run could not be counted as a
score unless all the runs driven in by
the hit be included in the count.
Base ball men agree that batsman
is unjustly penalZed when he makes
one of these legitimate home runs and
receives credit for only single, double
or triple.
If this rule is incorpora ted in the
playing code it will be necessary to
teach spectators not TO rush on the field
as soon as the winning run goes over,
but wait until the batsman travels as
far as he can on his hit.
