TENER'S HOPES
CARRIED OUT
Suggestions He Made While Presi.
dent Of National League are
Being Taken Up
Now.

| NEW YORK, Sept. 5.--The sugges-
lions of John K Tener when he was
president of the National league are
about to be carried out by his sue
cessor, John Heydler, largely
through pressure that has been
brought to bear on Heydler by
friends Of the former president with.
in the organization.
Tener hated the spitball. He be-
lieved 1t to be insanitary, disgusting
and unnecessary. Likewise he be-
lieved 1t lack of sDortsmanship in
baseball to permit pitchers to dis
color the ball or to doctor It, or de-
face 1t in any way before delivery.
He fought hard against these things,
but never was able to convince his
clubowners that the freak deliveries
should not be permitted.
One result of the obstinacy Of
those magnates who had high-priced
pitchers on their clubs dependent on
tory Of Eddie Cicotte over the New
1914 distinct blow to the National,
for the New Workers had been pick
ed to win. Cicotte's best delivery Is
tuc olilHc udli, da OptlCdl lllublOu
attending the ball in fight, due to a
dtscoloration of one side Of the ball,
and shiny Wilderness on the other
side.
However Heydler, in statement a
few days ago to close friends de-
clared war on the foreign deliveries
and promised that he would intro
duce a resolution into the next meet
ing of the National to seek to have
barred the emery ball, the shine
ball, the licorice ball, the parafine
ball, the talcum powder ball, and
other freaky deliveries which have
become popular during the last few
years. OF course, II he goes this far
into the subject it must follow that
the spitball also is doomed, and If
the National soaks it with a killing
wallop the American practically will
have to trail along.
With these deliveries out, however,
there will be some interesting things
taking place in the two leagues.
Hold Eller. for instance, will have to
start all over learning the pitching
business, for he. is practically de-
pendent on the parafine ball. Eddie
Cicotte will have to develop new cum
ming. Spitballists by the dozen clut-
ter up the works of the two majors
These will be able to stick through
legitimate use OF the baseball, but
many of them are totally dependent
on the crazy break attained by doc
toring the ball. The minors yawn
for them.

OLD TIME RED
TO GET HONORS
Harry Wright Who Piloted clncin.
natl in 1869, VIII Pitch First
Ball in Big
Series.

Fifty years ago this season Harry
Wright threw the first baseball into
a professional game. That was back
in 1869 when he organized the first
professional team, the Cincinnati
Red Stockings. and started out to
beat the world, and did.
If the Reds win the pennant
Wright will have the honor Of pitch
ing the first ball at the coming world
series and has lived TO see Cincin'
natl at the top again and baseball on
the plane where he had tried to Gle
vate it.
Baseball has changed, especially in
Cincinnati, and from Wright to
Moran has been an awful drag.
Back in the days when Wright
was manager, they won every game
played, fifty-seven in all. scoring
1896 runs and knocking out ITO
home runs.
Cincinnati fans are hoping another
fifty years will not elapse before they
can celebrate third successful
season, and commemorate the fiftteth
Of Wright's good season
in the worlds series this year.

CARPENTER
is NOT READY
French Champion Says He Is Not In
His Best Condition, After
Defeat Of Dick
Smith.
[By John De Gandt, United Press
Staff CORRESPONDENT.

BY John De Gandt, United Press
Staff Correspondent
PARIS. (By Mail.)-"I am happy to
have defeated him, but my condition
is not perfect yet" Such were the
words that the French Champion
Georges Carpenter uttered after he
had knocked out Dick Smith and
thereby rejecting himself the general
opinion Of those who witnessed the
fight.
Carpenter makes even his partisans
afraid because he Is too fiery. too i'm
prudent, too nervous, and some say he
was lucky during the match with
Smith, who might have won in the
fourth round II blow to the jaw had
been a bit stronger. The Frenchman
1t was noticed soon got tired, lost
speed and showed lack OF Judgment,
while overlooking opportunities he
would have easily seen before the war.
The ,"Grand Georges" as French
sportsmen call him, was pilot In the
aviation service during the war. and
was awarded the military medal for
courageous accommodating work, then
sent to the Joinville military school
to educate recruits and practice him.
self. There he ran one hundred
metres in II seconds rs, played rugby.
did no real boxing training, but
strengthened his muscles and lungs.
When he fought Smith his weight was
twenty pounds under Jack Dempsey's
poundage.
Carpenter will have to train hard to
he in position to face the worlds
champion ten or eleven months from
now. the approximate date given by
Francois Descamps. Carpenters man
ager.
Despite his mistakes against Smith
and actual condition, Carpenter has
capacities and Judgment which, II he
continues to develop. will surely count
in his favor as he gets older. It is only
four months since he has been demob-
ilized and this means comparatively
little real training.
The story that the French champion
"has been kept in cotton throughout
the war; is utterly without foundation.
Carpenter was private when mobil-
lied In the air service. He soon
learned the game and after a few re-
markable flights above the enemy
lines, was made a sergeant. Later, the
military school at Joinville, having an
urgent need Of monitors" he had to
quit the battlefront and was one OF
the best teachers in the school,
La Guerche. Carpenters training
camp, Is in the quiet country, three
hundred miles south Of Paris. It is .
small village surrounded by woods.
where one sees more cattle IN the
street than people. Pure air. sunshine,
creamy milk, fresh eggs, boxing twice
a day, gymnastics. racing In the
meadow, sun baths, this is Carpenters
daily program. And h" does nothing
else but that. He keeps training.

Dick Smith, Who Was Knocked Out
in Eighth Round, Says the
French Champ Is
Slipping.

| LONDON--(By MaiD. - Georges
/, Carpenter, the French heavyweight
champion and worlds championship
aspirant, has got to hurry up II he
wants to beat Jack Dempsey, the
! American. or else he will find him
self in the discard.
| This was told The United Press
today by Carpenters latest victim,
Dick Smith, former light heavyweight
champion Of Great Britain. Smith
was knocked out by the Frenchman
| in the eighth round In their recent
fight at Paris, but, despite this, the
Britisher says Carpenter Is slip

up he will be "has-been."
Carpenter has one punch-an up

! thing to get scared about felt 1t
several times and honestly believe
| that If he hadn't fouled me twice
| below the belt in the seventh round
il would have beaten him." said
Smith.
"He has slowed up considerably on
his footwork, but is still able to
flash his hands. But up to the time
he knocked me out his punches didn't
have any great force. believe Joe
Beckett, the British heavyweight
champion, will stand up to him Tor
twenty rounds. At the same time.
/ think Carpenter will stay the
limit and get the decision. His box
ing ability will win for him. How
ever, it is an even money bet as to
who will win. Beckett can knock
him out, but whether he would is
guesswork. Beckett is very dan
