Want to Let Carpenter es-
cape Without Conference.
ny JACK yEIOCk.

NEW YORK. Jack Dempsey 10
speeding eastward today with his
manager. Jac Kearns. TO meet Georges
Carpenter and Francois Descamps
before they sail away to Europe.
The champion stands ready to sign
articles and post a forfeit at once and
IL Carpenter is sincere in his much
advertised quest OF the title he will
have an opportunity TO prove IL.
Dempsey and Kearns will arrive
here not later than July 7. Carpen-
tier is scheduled TO sail for France
July 10. Dempsey wants action. and
IL Georges feels the same way about
II there will be plenty OF time for tho
two champions TO get together.
Dempsey's stand was outlined to
the International News Service today
in the following telegram from
kearns at Denver:
Failing to hear from Georges
Carpenter with regard TO the sign
ing OF articles Jack Dempsey and my
self are hurrying eastward TO meet
the Frenchman and his manager be-
fore they sail for Europe. We are
prepared to sign articles and post 4
forfeit and we will insist that Car
pentier sign up before sailing.
III Carpenter came to America to
fight Dempsey he should sign up at
once. We are ready to fight at any
time. We accepted Carpenters chal-
lenge more than a week ago and gave
him a week to reply to our answer.
Since then we haven't heard word
from the Frenchman or his manager.
My intention is to meet Descamps in
New York. have a personal interview
and definitely arrange for the big
bout. We will be in Gotham not
later than July Z which will give us
plenty of time to talk business.
Dempsey is going to be, a fighting
champion from now on. The public
asks that the continental champion
be the first to meet Jack, and Jack
will gladly accommodate him. II he
refuses Dempsey will be forced TO
| accept one of his many offers to fight
other opponents. The champion is
now close to fghting trim and won't
be idle much longer"

.JUMPERSMUSTSTAY
OUT OF ASSOCIATION
Indianapolis President Decides
To Support Hickey
Against Players.

Ollie OMara and his dcserting
companions will not return to the
American Association. Following his
announcement in which President
Smith Of the Indians went on record
as stating that he would get O'Mara
back with his club despite Hickey's
ruling and the As~A. stand on jumpers.
the Indian owners has evidently eN-
periei.ced a complete change of mind
and will hold by Hickey in keeping
the Jumpers out of organized ball
"for the good of the game" Here
Is the latest from Indianapolis on the
subject:
"Ollie OMara is not to rejoin the
Indians and neither will trum,
Yerkes, Steel and Hill. who left the
Indians to .oin the Steel League in
Pennsylvania. This was the ultima
tum of Owner w. c. Smith. who said
he had decided to take a sportsman's $
view of the matter and allow the
contract jumpers to take their medi-
cine.
Yesterday President Smith had
about decided to allow the players
to return to the tribe in spite OF the
ruling OF the National Association Of
Amateur Leagues, eXpelling contract
jumpers from organized baseball for
period of five years. But today
Smith said he had slept over his de-
cision.
"O,Mara joined the Indians this year
on his own salary terms" the tribe
boss said. "He promised not to con-
slider any of the offers made by the
Steel League clubs. and | voluntarily
added $500 to his salary account.
Then he crept away with Washing
ton park full of people without say
ing word to anyone. 1t would
be an injustice to the other payers
Of the team, who remained loyal, to
take him back. Several of them had
offers from the Steel League, but
they turned them down. Crum acted
in a like manner.
"I decided on this for the better
ment of baseball. These contract
jumpers represent a big sum Of
money, but I'm willing to stand the
loss and not be bothered in future
years. The present club is a loyal
one, eager to win, and club that
will win consistently. O'Mara sees
his mistake and wants to return, but
he saw his mistake too late. 1t was
a betrayal of confidence that cannot
overlook"

INFERIOR HURL|NG
BRINGS HOME RUNS
So Says Hank 0'Day, National
Leagues Veteran Umpire,
In Baseball Chat.

Grimly remarks Hank O'Day, the
veteran umpire of the National
League: Seems to me that If the
magnates want to get everything
done just right they ought to appoint
the managers official umpires. The
managers are trying to umpire the
games anyhow-why not let them do
II, just to see how they would get by?
On the level, they are getting worse
all the time. The other day ! called
Roush safe when he ran out of line
as he jumped for the plate. He had
to do it, or stamp all over Killifer-
and he had the ball beaten, anyway.
II the ball had been waiting for him
and he had lodged out of line to avoid
being tagged, I'd have called him out,
but here he was in no danger of being
tagged, and sidestepped to avoid
smashing into killifcr. Yet Mitchell
raised an awful roar.
"I believe the tremendous outbreak
OF home run hitting in the American
League is due to inferior pitching. In
the National there have been many
extra inning games, many close, hot
struggles, where the pitching was
wonderful but in the American the
pitching is so weak that 1t is being
belted into the stands. For that
reason, unless they can improve their
pitching a lot, where does the Amer
lean League stand much show With
the National?
"Of course. the American League
magnates are happy because the
crowds wanted more batting. and now
they are getting what they asked Ger.
Tell you the truth about more bat
ting: It's the finest thing in TIE
world when the home club does IT,

GOOD TENNIS ON TAP.
Yesterdays matches produced some
clever tennis. There were but few
engagements but the tennis displayed
by Haas and Fowler and Burke and
Edwards was as good as any seen in
the big matches.
Both matches went three sets and
the result was in doubt all the way.
Burke and Edwards settled down to a
slashing set in opening UP. Ed
wards won by 6--1 and looked to have
an easy time of II. The Western
High speeded up and took the second
set at g., forcing the fighting
throughout. Burke literally walked
through Edwards and had a service
that the Montrose lad could not
handle.
with the score at 4 to Burke set
about connecting. Edwards won a
game, making 1t to 2. A game was
won by each player, and with the
score to and 1910 Burke was
within a point of winning the match
Edwards came through. but not
until the engagement had gone to
SIS. Edwards took the match at
6-1, 4-6. SIS.
FOWLER sTEADIEs UP.
Hal Fowler displayed form in his
match with Haas, which IL 1t is to be
taken as a criterion will force Ed
wards to the limit. Against Haas
yesterday Fowler displayed a sure
ness that got results.
Haas was beaten by 6-3, 10-s,
60. The second set took all the
steam out of haas, VINO has been play
ing through the past week two and
three matches a day. All but two of
the engagements have gone into three
sets.
The doubles play resulted in wins
for Burke and Nordlinger, Haas and
Edwards, and Hillman and Fowler In
the junior section. In doubles there
were several defaults. Rain inter-
fered with the players so much last
week that many of them became dis
couraged and failed to show up when
the doubles started.

singles championship at 4 p. IN. to-
morrow afternoon, and the boys

at Ardmore about this time and Lowe
got IL into his head that Ray could
BUMP on" Bowen, IL given the OPP
portunity. Lowe reasoned that Rays
hard punching would more than offset
Bowen's boxing skill. He admits to-
day that, IL Ray wins, II will probably
be by knockout. but Tommy thinks
his boy can just about do that thing.
Lowe began bounding Kid Sullivan.
the Ardmore promoter. to hook up
Ray with Bowen. The latter was suf-
fering from a weak. hand and the
talk continued without action.
Finally. learning that Bowen had re-
agreed to the bout. 1t comes to-
night and. judging from the talk. all
the sports in Washington will be at
Ardmore when the bell rings.
BOWEN IS CLEVER.
Bowen has considerable ring ex-
perience and is rather clever with his
hands. (, In his bouts at Ardmore he
has not made much noise as a hitter.
but he Is not a weakling, either. His
short punches to the body carry a
sting which may bother Ray tonight.
He has a good left hand, too, which
should help him against the rushing
slugging Washingtonian.
Ray will try his best to win by a
Knockout. He lacks the ring expert
ence Of his opponent, but he Is a
strong boy, able to take a punch as
we'll as give one and carries sweet
dreams in his right hand. He Will I'M
doubtedly do hts best Ito land that
right on Bowen,s jaw, feeling sure
that victory win follow. "-.r.
The dope is that II Ray connects
he'll win by a Knockout we'll inside
the ten-round limit, but that II the
battle goes the limit Bowen will re-
ceive the decision. This dope is de-
rived from the respective records Of
the two boxers in their recent scrap
at the Ardmore club.
In addition to this final ten-rouEd
bout, the semi-final will also be for
the same distance. Mike Uraine, tho
Washington flatfoot. was matched fol
return engagement with Sailor
Jack Smith, OF Baltimore, but Man.
ager Sullivan received word last
night that the Baltimore middle
weight is i'll and cannot appear. Sui
Iivan hustled around and signed up
Kid. Scatt, a middleweight at Walt 'r
Reed Hospital, to substitute for
Smith.
From what I'm told" says Sulli-
van," this Kid Scatt is a big rugged
fellow well able to take care of him
self and he should give Mike a hot
fight.
HOLBROOk IN RING.
Chick Holbrook, extremely populs r
with Washington fans, is down for a
six-round bout with frankie Collins,
of New York. Holbrook has a rcru-
tation for his slugging ability. hut
rumors have been heard that Collins
will prove Tarter. They are to
weigh 116 pounds, which should leave
Holbrook strong enough to show at
his best.
