SPORTING NOTES.

The sight of Carpenter in this coun- try has caused the lid on many pug lists grave to lift. 4 few days ago somebody dug up Bob Moha, who said he wanted to fight the Frenchman and now we have no less a star than Mike Gibbons, the former phantom" |" arising to say he wants the same thing Mike has been raised, though, by the jingle of coin handled by Gene Melady. the well known Omaha promoter
 Melady, it seems, wired Gibbons and told him he was sure he could get Car pentier for a bout and that his pre- vious offer of S25,00O for Mikes end still goes. Mike right away said he was willing to go on those terms, whether for six rounds or twenty. A few years ago a bout between Gibbons and Carpenter would have been the real thing, but in very recent days Mike has been defeated by men inferior to the French champion. There are others around who would very likely give Carpentier a better fight than would the St. Paul man. and we have in mind none other than one who beat the great A1ike-Mike O'Dowd. And if Jack Dempsey. through court proceedings is unable to meet the F'renchman why not have a DdIlie between Ine hlIlS ol the Hlluule- weights and the king of the European heavyweights.
 Manager Iris Speaker of the Indians enters the 1920 race with something akin to a grouch. Iris fails to regard as a compliment the fact that most of the critics have picked his team to win the American league pennant. He fears that his players may be overcome l with the idea that they are sure tG

LEONARD TO. MEETaJoE YELLING
 IN SAN FRANCISCO SOON

Leonard and Joe Yelling are to meet in four round bout soon out in San Francisco. Boxing on the far coast is beginning to pail of late, due to the return of baseball and the fact that most of the fighters out there are eith- CT novices or has s-beens. Bouts are held every night in the week except Sunday, and there has been so much indifferent milling that the fans are beginning to sour on the sport For that reason the promoters are anxious to put on a real star like Leonard to revive interest. As no lightweight on the coast fig ures to make things interesting for Leonard, it has been decided to send east for Yelling. Yelling is one of the few lightweights Leonard never has met in the ring. His selection shows that the far coasters are not asleep. for the match is one that east
 ern fans have long hoped 10 see-and hoped in vain.

LEONARD MAY RETIRE FROM
 RING AT END OF YEAR

Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion. has been telling friends out on the far coast that he intends to retire from the ring at the end of the present year. Leonard says that al- ready he has made as much money as he knows how to spend and that he has business interests that are mak- ing him rich, so that there really is no particular reason why he should continue to run the risk of having a chance blow ruin his good looks.
 It is rather strange that every crack boxer gets the idea into his head that he wants to retire. That notion never seems to strike the second raters, who receive more punishment and less money for their efforts. Men of that l class go on as long as they can find promoter willing to give them bout

RECORD ATTENDANCE AT
 FIRST SUNDAY GAMES

baseball is to the fans this year is shown by the record attendance at the first Sunday games of the season last Sunday. Despite two straight de- feats the New York Giants had received the Polo grounds seating capacity was taxed to the limit. There was stand ing room only in the upper and lower tiers of the grand stand and the only section of the bleachers not filled was directly in back of the green curtain in center field. The crowd must have numbered more than 32.00o. In Brook lyn the estimated attendance was. 25,- 900. At least 2s,oo0 turned out to see the worlds champions play the Pirates in Cincinnati. In Cleveland the figures ran close to 25,000 and in St. Louis there were 10000.

Heron, Ouimet, Jones,

By Ray McCarthx

The stars~-all Ut them-who are "a

Championship golf tournament on the
engineers course are down at Roslyn
shooting for brides and pars. but thew

reports emanating from the Long ISL
and club, a safe wager for this meet
Wal! be that no course records will be
broken. In fact the boys will be lucky
X they can 60 around in par-70.
At present the fellows counted on 70
set the pace are struggling for 30. Da-
wilson Heron, the champion, for In.
stance, in his first workout took an sc.
gut yesterday, playing with our own
Gransiand Rice, he got around in 80,
and Grant said he was playing steady
golf. This being the case, what will the
dutfer do who gets of the line occa-
sionally? In the afternoon Heron and
Rice went over to North Shore. wherA
Heron shot another 80.
His chief fault yesterday, according
to our Spotlight conductor, was his
putting. But Heron wasn't the only
one who had trouble on the greens.
Most of the others found that these un-
duiating carpets were exceedingly
tricky and in need Of much study.
Francis Ouimet, for instance, who ar
rived on the scene yesterday morning.
played good golf until he struck the
We vet. and there consumed several Gu
perfluous strokes. On the eighteenth,
after getting on in two, ne took four
tries before he finally got down-a
typical example of what NEST Of the
others were doing. But Of course ie is
quite likely the notables will get all
of these waste shots out Of their sys-
TENS before the grand melee begins on
Monday.
Bobby Jones and Chick Evans ar.
rived yesterday and tried their luck,
