CARPENTER TO SEEK BRIDE IN
 U. SHE SAYS

New York, Feb. 14-Georges Car pentier, heavyweight champion box CT of Europe and next opponent Of Jack Dempsey, was so upset by a re- port that he would wed previous to his visit to this country, that he re- quested that a denial of the state nent be sent to America His state ment was cabled last night and was to the, effect that the French Adonis of theNroped square is heart free and unhit by the darts of Cupid. It Is hinted that Carpenter may seek a life mate in America, as he has ex- pressed adn2jration for photographic representations of American beau ties.
 Carpenter said he would sail for America on March 13 from Havre on the French liner Lorraine,' and that he will not fight Dempsey for at least three months. This is because the Frenchman is under contract with a film firm.
 While admitting that the contest was almost certain to take place in America Carpenter said his personal preference was for France or Eng land as a battle ground.

New York, Feb. 14-The legal fight the Yankees have waged with Presi- dent Ban Johnson of the American League over the suspension of Carl Mays has cost the New York club something in the neighborhood of $60,000 in fees and expenses. Mays was purchased from the Boston Red Sox on the last day of July for a sum said to be S40,0O0 and, as soon as the sale was announced, the player was suspended by Johnson.
 The Tanks first legal move was to get an inunction restraining the Presi- dent of the League from interfering with Mays pitching for the New York club. After that the suits followed thick and fast until there were so many of them that 1t was difficult to keep track of the various stages of | the litigation. The papers in the Mays
 case have been printed and the whole
 mass of evidence in the various cases
 forms a volume thicker than Web
 ster's Dictionary.
 The expenses in the court proceed
 ure, in attorneys fees, in the prepar-
 ing of. cases and i'll printing will easily
 reach the s60,0o0 mark, according tc
 one of the officials of the New York club.

JACK BARRY IS
 LIKELY TO LEAD BOSTON BRAVES

New York, Feb. 14-In Boston they are talking of Jack Barry. former manager of the Red Sox.T as possi- ble leader for the Braves in the event i that George, Sta1lings makes good his alleged threat to resign In case ''Rab- bit' Maranville is traded or sold to the New York Giants.
 Paul Shannon in the Boston Post declares that Stallings has made such a threat and that he is at swords ] points with George W. Grant, owner of the Braves, over the Maranville proposition. In Chicago the other | day Stallings said in a very emphatic 5manner when the chance of the "Rab- bits going to New York was men toned:
 "Maranvf1le will never go to the Giants while I am manager of the Boston club.''
 It must be said that there didn't i seem to be any hard feltng between i the Boston owner and the manager ir evidence at the Chicago meeting.

CLAIMS
 CARPENTER IS
 FOXY CUSTOMER

Fred Fulton is one of those who declare Jack Dempsey will have no cinch when he tackles Georges Car pentier- Long Frederick also has an explanation for Carpenters poor showing against Dick Smith in the Frenchman's first battle since the war.
 Fulton says he saw that bout and he was convinced that Carpenter was stalling in order to create the impression that he was all in, as he wished to clinch the match with Joe Beckett, the latter being rather coy about signing articles.
 Fulton probably has hit upon the correct explanation of the French mans indifferent showing with Smith. The difference between his showing with Smith and with Beckett indicates that Carpenter had some thing up his sleeve when he met Smith.
 It will be recalled that while training for Beckett, the foxy Frenchman would allow no visitors to his training quarters. He did not want anyone to discover how good he was, but the natural inference was that he did not want the fans to find out how bad he was.
 Carpenter profited both ways, as he not only took Beckett by surprise, but he and his friends got a long price for their money.

 TEAM TOMORROW

The Blue Ribbon basketball players hope to end their losing streak to- morrow afternoon when they stack up against the strong Germantown. Pa, five of the Eastern league, at Colonial hall. The Ribbons have been putting up a strong game in their home contests, but they have been taking the short end by one point The Germantown team is a fast aggregation and will make the Rib- bons travel at a swift pace. Powell and Franckle are the forwards. They are not known in this section but are considered stars in Pennsylvania. Grimstead, the center, is a veteran who was seen In this city when the Utica, N. Y., team, was making it's tour through this state a few years ago. Bruggy and Nat Holman, the guards, are fayorites with local fans Bruggy is a rough and tumble play.

Eddie F9tzsimmons, the 1avorite son of that section of New York city known as Yorkville, has advanced rapidly in the boxing ranks within the past six .months and his manager, Dumb Dan Morgan, Is clamoring loudly to the effect that he will soon be after Benny Leonards scalp.
 Of. course some allowance must be made for Dams enthusiasm. He was never noted for his tendency to be- little his own boxers, but neverthe- less 1t must be conceded that Fitz- simmons swings a wicked fist. He has appeared before Bridgeport fans and they are ready to declare he is there forty ways.
 The Yorkville boy is renowned for his ability to hit. It is said that he puts a lot of power behind a blow and that he once dropped the gigan- tic Carl Morris in friendly bout. Re- ports don't say how Fitz dropped him Perhaps he used a Sledgehamme CT Fftz recently knocked out Irish Patsy Cline, which will cause considerable enthusiasm among Bridgeport fans, ir view of Cline's miserable showing here last Monday night.

RUTH FEARFUL OF OUTFIELD AT
 POLO GROUNDS

Boston, Mass, Feb. 14-Babe Ruth says he will ask Manager Mill CT Higgins of the Yankees for the centrefe1der's job in the big city. He Says he does not want the right gar den and he indicates that he will ''kick' hard against that assign ment
 Ruth makes it clear he doesn't like that right field wall at the Polo Grounds "Tn get myself all smash ed up in going after 'em," are his words It is admitted that Ruth goes after a fly hard.
 When Ruth started playing the outfield the wiseacres were inclined to give him the laugh, but he deyel- oped with great rapidity and his cleverness is now conceded. It is his contention that he has demon strated his ability and the fact that he led the American League outfeld- CTS last season adds weight to his argument.

take part in the annual English tour nament The Newcastle team Is at present in fourth place in the English Soccer Association League. The New castle team will begin play in Mon treal May g against 8 team picked from the clubs of that city. After playing in Montreal the visitors will begin @ tour across the continent, touching all the larger cities, and, after having played at Vancouver and Victoria, B. C.. will start on the re- turn trip.
 The Newcastle eleven will not be seen in the United States during the coming tour owing to the necessity of the players being in England In time for the season there. But in 1921 Jones has plans which will be of di- rect interest to the United States, and especially New York. On this trip he will bring over two teams--one from Scotland and another from England both all-star elevens, which W1n tour this country and Canada
 The 1921 trip will start In May, and after playing in Canada, the teams will jump to the Pacific Coast, and work their way to New York, travel ing into Canada when promising en- agreements are offered. In August the teams will arrive here, and for the occasion Jones has planned a three day soccer carnival in which tthe two alI-star invading teams will play il elimination rounds against au-stal eIeyens of the United States and Can ada.
 This event promises well for New | York in that four teams representa- England, Scotland, Canada and ' United States will meet in conpeti ton, allowing enthusiasts of thii country to compare United States soc | cer material with that of other coun' l Trfn

Connie Mack Favors
 Increase for Players

Connie Mack, tall leader of the Ath- letics, believes that 8 general increase in players salaries this year is neces- sary. tI think,'' said Mack recently,
 "a majority of the major league play
 CTS should be given more money than
 they received last year, but I do not believe in paying out in salaries more than can be taken in at the gate. have signed several men so far and have increased the salary of most of my players. Twill not make known the names of those who have signed until a later date. I think the Ath- 1 letics this season will surprise great many rival clubs.''

PIPP MAY 60 ..'' TO WHITE SOX
 FOR HAP FELSCIIII

Chicago Feb. 14.-Oscar FeIsch is the outfielder the Yankees now are after to round out their team, and there is a good chance of the slug ging White Soxster coming to New York. So anxious are the Yankees to get Felsch that they may be will ing to dispose of the popular Wally Pipp to Chicago. Pipp's name was mentioned yesterday while Huggins was attempting to close a deal with Kid Gleason.
 Though the White sox are cham pions of the American League, the Windy City has some big gaps to fill. Both Chic Gandil. first baseman, and swede- Risberg. shortstop, say they nave retired, while the White Scx have again been reduced to a three man pitching staff-Cicotte, Williams and Kerr.
 Felsh is valuable man on the White SoX club and Chicago would ask for some good men in return If any deal should be put through. They might consent to a trade for Felscn were the Yankees to fill the Chicago vacancy at first and help bolster up the White Sox pitching staff
 Risberg's retirement would not greatly inconvenience Gleason. as he
 
 return McMullen to third base. An 1nheld of McMu1len, Weaver, Collins and Pipp would be one of the best in the league.
 Trading a star infielder for a star outhelder might not benefit the Tanks were it not for the men Hug gins has in reserve. Pacific Coast League managers have advised him that Meusel, the young star from vernon, can play a splendid game at first base. While Meusel played third base on the Vernon club, he is a good all around man who can fill in well at any position.
 "If Meusel can do half as well as his boosters say couldn't keep him on the bench for a single day. said Huggins.
 Another first base possibility in the event that Pipp is traded is Babe Ruth. Ruth played first base for Bos- ton at times, and did very well at the position In fact, Huggins said only recently that he would play Ruth at first base were it not for the home run kings brittle right knee.

Tanks Fight Over
 Mays Cost $0O,OOO
Had Spend $4OOo0 to Get Pitcher and Then Blew In
 Thousands Tn Legal Battles With Ban Johnson to Keep Player

The owners of the Yankees feel, however, that the whole affair has placed the game in the American League on a new footing and they re- gard the expense as well worth while
 Colonel T. L. Huston, Vice-Presi- dent of the club, who with President Jacob Ruppert returned from the Chicago peace meeting yesterday, said last night:
 'The American League has been rescued from one-man, rule, which, after all, was the main obect in our fight The dismissal of the Mays case and the awarding of third place money to our players were secondary to the important clause in the settle ment which provides for g Board of Review, of which Colonel Ruppert is | a member, to hear all cases which
 members of the League feel affect their constitutional rights. This pro vision of the settlement of course has widespread influence in the conduct of the Leagues affairs.
 t'The feeling among the club own
 CTS after the settlement was, I am
 very glad to say, most cordial, and firmly believe that all the owners were
 sincere in their expression of delight that the factional differences were ' ended"

New York, Feb. 14-Con Jones, of Vancouver, British Columbia, famous sport promoter, with Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion of the world, in tow, arrived in New York yesterday on his way to England, for which he will sail today at 2 o'clock on the Adriatic- Burns, who lost his title to Jack Johnson in 1908 in Aus tralia, is sailing to England to take in charge a young Irishnan whom he hopes within two or three years to make into a contender for the world s Heavyweight title
 According to Tommy. the young Irtshman whom he plans to tutor is a perfect specimen of a possible cham jpion. Tall-weu over s feet-weighs ing 22o pounds largely of sweH-round- ed muscles, a star In soccer and 1a~ crosse, he has essentially the making < fo a first-class fighter if properly Drought up and trained, Burns thinks.
 Burns course of training for his young protege Is to be one of slow and careful effort. The prospect is not now boxer. but with his sp1en- did physique and fighting qualified tions shown on the soccer field, there is always, according to Tommy, every treason why he should be made into a success.
 Burns, too, while in England, may make arrangements whereby he will take on Joe Beckett, English heavy weight, who was recently knocked out tby Carpenter. This plan Is not yet fully developed. but if everything proves favorable it will materia4ize. ! Con Jones, however, Is crossing for
 another reason. He is going to lead back the Newcastle United Soccer Ec1ufb of Newcastle, England, which will tour Canada during May, June, and July, returning to England in time to

Hank Schreiber, who pastimed with Waterbury in the Eastern League until he was sold to Gin cinnati last season, has been traded to Indianapolis of the American Association by Manager Pat Moran of the Reds. Schreiber goes to Indianapolis as part of the deal by which the Reds obtained Shortstop Sam Crane.
