OF
 FAMOUS DEMPSEY
 M'CARTY FIGHT.

Australia was pitted against Ire land in a famous battle for the mid dleweight championship pulled off in San Francisco twenty-nine years ago today. Jack Dempsey, who then held the title, and Australian Billy McCarty, who had been middleweight champion of the Antipodes before coming to America, were the princi- pals in this bout. Not long before Dempsey had been knocked out by Marine George" La Blanche, who had landed his famous pivot blow at a time when he himself seemed on the point of going down and out. Naturally La Blanche claimed the title, but, as he refused to meet Dempsey again, the latter continued to be considered the legitimate title holder. McCarty was a good, fast, clever boxer and he gave Non pareiI Jack a hard fight for twenty eight rounds, when Dempsey put over the knockout.
 Later in the same year McCarty had an opportunity to recover his lost
 laurels in a battle with Bob FitZsim- mons. Bob landed in San Francisco in May. 1890, and, after a prelimin- ary test against Frank Allen, the California Athletic club matched Bob
 with McCarty. A purse of $1,200
 was hung up, and botls Australians
 realized that they were up again-.
 the real test of their lives. Victory
 meant the chance to fight Dempsey
 for the middleweight championship of the world. McCarty was confi- dent that he could whip the Non pareiT' if given another chance, and he was probably right, for Jack was on the down grade. For Fftzsim- mons it was the critical battle of his career Fame and wealth hinged on the result Defeat meant that he must go back to the Australian , bush" and fight for small purses or maybe return to the blacksmith $ forge.
 For nine rounds McCarty and Fitzsimmons fought valiantly for the l big prize-a prize of far greater inn portance than the winners share oi the purse, although that seemed a fortune to Bob. Nine rounds, and Fitz showed his calibre by knockins out McCarty. At the ringside was the representative of a New Orleans | sporting club. looking for a man tc
 whip Dempsey. He offered Bob ]
 match with Arthur Uphan, prelimin-
 ary to a bout with Dempsey for the title. and Fitz was fairly launched or the path to glory McCarty con- tinued to fight for a time, and then went back to Australia. where he is
 said to have accumulated a fortune | Dempsey is long since dead, ani Fitz breathed his last almost two years ago.

that the Frenchmen will never be- come successful baseball players.
 Their infield work Is not very good" said Matty, and they do not seem to be able to bat well. One thing, however, that they do well Is base running. l do not think that in all France there is capable catch CT to be found. Every;ime a French man gets behind the bat he wants to retreat about 10 paces, erect q barbed wire entanglement, dig him self a dugout and crawl into it. They are all afraid of being hit by the ball. There was plenty of room for the Frenchmen to pass behind the man with the catcher's mitt, but not one of them would go by. After q while the men had to stop playip:- for traffic on the street was stup- ped.''
 While in training at Chaumont he was in company with Major Branch Hickey, of the Cardinals, and Capt. Ty Cobb. He played in a few games and even tried out his arm. Matty appears to be in great shape, and seems to be heavier than when he l sailed.

THE NAMES OF EMPHASIZES.

The names given to warshlps In latter years usually commemorate great men or important cities or states, although in the British navy tEere are many vessels bearing pagan names, such as Hercules, Neptune Ajax and Orion, and also numerous battleships which have been chrlsten- ed by such names as AudaciouS, Re- vense, Valiant, Indomitable, Con- oueror and Thunderer. The newer French battleships have been named after cities and departments, such as Paris, Normandie, Provence, LOT raine. etc. Another group of French ships commemorate the names Of Noltaire. Diderot, Condorcet, Mira beau. Danton and other illustrious men. while still another group bears such names as Democratic, Justice, Patrie, RepubliQue and Verite. Co lumbus, Dante, Cavour, Leonardo da Vinci and other great Italians are re- rnembered in the names of the Jar gest of Italian warships. The Tor mer German navy showed a prepon- derance of names suggestive Of roy alty. and to the smaller ships were given the names of states of the em- pire. Monarchs, pagan gods great soldiers and sailors, cities. counties, colonies and a host of adjectVal ana vergal names have been drawn upon in Christening the vessels of the Brit ish empire. The Goliath, sunk in the Dardanelles, was the last British ship with a Biblical appelation. al though such names once were com mon. In the fleet of Henry Y. were ships named Jesus. Holy Ghost, Peter ond Paul At a later date the Eng fish navy had Christ. Adam and Eve, Eden. John the Baptist. Abra- ham, Benjamin. King David, Ruth. Solomon, and many other vessels with names derived from Scripture.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first state added to the orig final thirteen composing the United States was Vermont, which was ad- A1iitted 12S years ago today. The Green Mountain state had varied career up to the time of It's entrance Into the Union. Two centuries ago a tract of southern Vermont was granted to Connecticut. In 1763 New York claimed the territory of Vermont under grants from Charles IL to the Duke of York, and ordered the sheriff to return the names of those, who had settled in Vermont under titles from New Hampshire, which has also made grants in the territory. A dispute arose between the latter colony and New York. the claims of which were later sustained by the King. The Green Mountain Boys" under Ethan Alien, were or ganized to oppose the Workers" and later played a prominent part in the revolution. After the establishment of the republic New York's claims were overthrown and Vermont be- came an independent state.

Ty Cobb, as every one knows, comes from the state of Georgia, but the Tiger star is not the only famous diamond artist who claims that state as his own. Some one with a bent for statistics and pride in Georgia has compiled a list Of well known bail players who come from the Bracket State, and the array Is a formidable one. The list includes the follow ing names: Napoleon Rucker. George Stallings, Weldon Henley, Jimmy Lavender, Erskine Mayer. by, Sherrow Smith, Paul Carter, Dana FHllingim, Ivy Wingo, Claude Der rick and J. Carlisle Smith.
 The Red Sox 1nfeld in the next championship race will be about the smallest gathered together in many years. but what the quartet lacks in height and weight is offset by play ing ability and pep. Everett Scott, the tallest of the infielders, stands only feet g 1-2 inches. which is half an inch taller than McInnis. Bar ry and Wit are 5 feet 8 inches tall. McInnis, the heaviest of the lot, tips the beam at less than ITO pounds. Barry weighs 15S and Witt 155 pounds. Scott weighs only 154. All are thoroughly seasoned in major league play, as Barry entered the American League in 1908, McInnis in 1909, Witt in 1912 and Scott, who be- came a regular in 1914, first joined the Red SoX in 1912. Barry is 31 years old, Witt and McInnis are 2S and Scott is 26.

Nearly every one connected with the
German Embassy in washington in a
responsible position in the days pre-
ceding Americas entrance into the.
war is regarded by the government
as more or less involved in the in
trigues and plots which stirred the
country.
When it was proposed to send Count
Bernstorff to Paris at the head Of the
German peace commission, the Amer
lean delegation let it be known
promptly. that while perhaps they had
no legal right to dictate the personnel
of the German commission, yet they
would have no communication with
Bernstorff and his appointment would
certainly not aid the Germans in Sc
curing the best peace terms.
Haimhausen's attachment to the
German peace commission in the ca
pacity of secretary was scarcely less
welcome, but was tolerated by the
American commissioners for the rea-
son that his familiarity with the is
sues might make him useful and his
connection with the operations of the
German Embassy here was less than
that of his principal.

MONTENEGRO
IN REVOLUTION
"Reminiscences Of the Balkan
Trouble Predicted
WHOLE COUNTRY AFFECTED
Long Smouldering Differences Be-
tween supporters And Opponents
Of Deposed King Coming
To Head. \,

Fighting has broken out
everywhere in Montenegro and the
whole country is in state of revolu-
ton, according to news received here.
The Serbians are using strong meas
ures in an attempt to suppress the
uprising.
The Montenegrins have cut the rail-
way between Virpazar and Antivari,
on the coast.
The Serbians are receiving rein
forcements, but are not meeting with
success in their efforts to put down
the revolutionary movement, accord
Ing to the adyices which represent
the Montenegro national spirit as
thoroughly aroused and the animosity
of the people against the Serbians in
creasing.
The uprising in Montenegro seems
likely to bring to head the long
smouldering differences between the
Montenegro supporters Of former
King Nicholas and the faction adher-
ing to the plan for the incorporation
OF Montenegro in the Jugo-Slav state.
King Nicholas has never recognized
the validity of the act of the Monte
negrin Assembly last winter in depos-
ing him and has continued to maintain
the old royal Montenegro government
with its seat in a suburb of Paris.
Serbia is insistent upon the adhesion
of Montenegro to Jugo-Slayia and
claims that majority Of the Monte
negrins favor the union. The conten-
ton of the Nationalist party in Mon
tenegro, however, is that the Monte
negrin National Assembly has been,
packed" with pro-Serbians, making
the action of that body in voting last
April for adhesion to the Jugo-Slav
state not truly representative of Mon
tenegrin opinion.
Disorders broke out in Montenegro
early in July against what was char
acterized Serbian military occupa-
ton" and guerilla warfare was report
ed to be reviving in the mountain
regions.
