Surprise Manifested Over
Failure of Mahoney to
Receive denomination
By A. c. Cavasnaro

Contestants in the various sport ac-
tiyities under the colors of the New
York Athletic Club are pleased with the
selection of George j. Corbctt, the we'll
known trap shooter, by the nominating
committee Of the club for president Of
the Central Park South organization.
Corbett is numbered among the oldest
members, and for the last ten wears
has served on the board of governors.
Corbctt was named in place Of Major
DR. Graeme NJ. Hammond. who, after
serving as president for the last two
years. declined denomination under any
circumstances on account Of pressure
of business. During Major Ham
mond's regime the clubs general well
fare rose to the best financial standing
that it has ever enjoyed
Considerable surprise has been mani
fest among the club members over the
failure of the committee to renominate
jeremiah 7. Mahoney for the Office OF
vice president. No explanation has
been given for the action, and in Ma
honey's place the committee has rec
commended the election of William C.
Poertner. Frederick r. Fortmeyer, the
retary; Martin S. Pains, treasurer,
and Arthur McAlenanan, captain, have
accepted denominations for their re-
spectiye positions.
The time for posting the names of

Carpenter Plans
Tour of States
Early Next Year

Georges Carpenter, the heavyweight
of Jack Dempsey will come to the
United States in March. This an
nouncement was made by Carpenter
in Paris yesterday. Carpenters trip
will be made for the purpose of clean
ing up a little of the theatrical small
change that is thrown into the path
of successful pugilists.
Incidentally the poilu boxer will be
able TO lay some stress on the fact
that he is ready to enter the ring
with Jack Dempsey any time that
the American heavyweight champion
should be ready. Carpenter is under
contract for year and half to G. b.
Cochran, the London theatrical and
boxing promoter who is in New York
preparing to start West for a talk with
Dempsey. The match waits for the
acquescence of Dempsey.
In the mean time there are some
freak offers being made by American
promoters but some of them have Il
rather fishy look. Jack kearns pre-
tends to believe that they are all made
seriously, even the most recent Of
$750,00O
There is great curiosity in regard
to Carpenter, who never has visited
the United States. II may be that
Carpenter may make an impression
that VIII cause him to be seriously
considered as heavyweight contender.
The French and British sportsmen
think highly of him, especially since
his sensational knockout Of Joe
Beckett, the English champion The
French champion is certain of an
enthusiastic welcome here, for it is
recognized that he is more than
mere pugilist in that he is soldier
and a real fighter.

had made extensive plans for the stag
ing of the event in case its bid should
be favored.

Oil Leases, Says Corrnnza

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1.-THE De-
partment of Industry and Commerce
denies emphatically that Japanese in
terests have acquired any petroleum
holdings in Mexico. but says parties
OF Japanese biologists have visited the
republic recently on a tour of ex-
ploration and have located oil deposits
On the Pacific coast.
The department denial came as the
result of stories emanating from the
United States that Japanese capitalists
were negotiating for the transfer of
large petroleum holdings in the Tampi-
CO district.
r. E. Douari. who was sent TO be a
member of the oriental exploration
party, asserted that the Pacific coast
had been thoroughly covered in the
search for oil and that large deposits
of the latter had been found. He also
asserted that Japan needs Mexican oil
for commercial purposes and will at
tempt TO acquire that product but il
has no intention of buying leases, de-
veloped or undeveloped.
