Should Get Together.
At the present rating of the mad
scramble to stage this set-to 1t ap-
pears that these two promoters must
get together or else a worlds heavy
weight battle is not Eithin reason.
One or the other must give way as
Dempsey and Carpenter are honor
able boxers. They realize what
promise to fight means. Their sigma
lures to a contract have a significance,
so if the Messrs. Cochran and Tor
torich. report correctly. let them get
together early in the new year for
settlement.
Georges w. Smith.
One Of the most startling announ-
cements in connection with the pro-
posed world heavyweight champion
ship bout leaked its way OUT of
Sunderland yesterday when it was
claimed that the French challenger
may meet another American boxer be-
fore he encounters the titleholder.
According TO Al Lippe, manager of
a team of American professional box
ers that will soon sail for France,
there is little doubt but that such
a match will be arranged between
Jeff Smith, the Bayonne, N. j..
who is well known here,
and Carpenter, to be held in Paris.
where Is Fullerton.
Charles \. Comiskey. president OF
the Chicago White Sox, again made
his offer of $4,000 for direct infor-
nation proving the dishonesty of any
me.I9er OF his team.
Another investigation of rumors that
the White Sox players had an agree
ment with st. Louis gambling syn
dictate to throw games during the
playing season and the world series
exposed nothing. Commy has tried
hard to uncover the hints of crooked
ness made against baseball.
Hughey Fullerton. in a series OF
articles disclosed or claimed to be
the entire DEAL but to date
has not stepped forward TO
accept the 10000 cold iron men.
Declines to Speak.
The National Commission has asked
Fullerton to appear before the COM
mission next Monday and relate ali
he knows, but Hughey has side
stepped this issue. Ten thousand
dollars nowadays is quite a few
worries. but everyone knows that dia-
are as thick as cobble-stones
up in old Manhattan. so why should
worry about a petty $4,000.

IL may be possible that

To Fight Reformers.
1t Is known that the Maryland
racing folk are anxious to enlist the
J9ckey Club in their behalf in fight
ing the anti-racing reformers, and
II they obtain their set dates for the
spring meetings they can get away
