1.-THE BATTLER" is
CONFIDENT AND HOPEFUL

Battling Levinsky is working desper-
ately at his training camp in White Sui
phur Springs in preparation for his bout
with Carpenter. The Battler is pretty
sore at the fuss that is being made over
the Frenchman while he is being prac-
tica11y neglected His sparring partners
are feeling the brunt of his ire. Sailor
Petrosky especially has his hands full
when he gets in the ring with Levinsky
The latter cuts loose for keeps and the
other day it looked as if he would
have to get set of new sparring part
nerS.
Ie,insky confded to a friend who is
at the camp that he is going to pre-
vail upon Dan Morgan to move his
training camp nearer to New York so
that the scribes can come out to see
him work.
Evidently they didn't think so much
of this wonderful Frenchman," said
Levinsky. Il want my friends to see
me in action and get line on me for
themselves. When it comes right down
to the point, I'll bet my friends who
are paying the large percentage at the
gate, and they're hearing SO much
about the wonderful froggie they're liza
BILE to get the impression that am
set-up for him. If they think this
they'll be greatly surprised when they
see the fight I want them to know
that I'm going to win. This French
man never licked anybody but lot of
Eng1ishmen or other Frenchmen, and
none of them can fight. All the Amer
lean fighters go to Europe when they're
has-beens over here, and they clean up
over there. The only real fighter in
Europe just now is Jimmy Wilde"

THE GLEES GET A
SURPRISE AT BRISTOL.

The Washington Giees went to Bris-
toll last Sunday and got real surprise,
when they barely nosed out the New
Departure team by 20 score.
Clyde. Waters has we11-oi1ed grid
iron machine to pit against the New
Haveners and only through playing
whirlwind football was the Glees able
to come through a winner.
The stars of the Glees were Charlie
Gibbons, LOOMS, Moose Miller and
Carton. Gibbons scored touchdown
for the locals and Carton kicked the
goal Captain Moose Miller played an
excellent defensive game, breaking up
several plays that would have aided the
Bristol team in scoring had they been
completed. Loomis showed good form
on the offensive carrying the ball for
substantial gains no less than half
dozen times. The Glees resorted chief
ly to straight football for their gains,
occasionally uncorking forward passes
which in practically every instance
showed gains of from eight to Is yards.
Moose Miller received nasty cut
over the eye, which required two stitch
es, and Clyde Waters was also injured
during the game. The G1ees showed
exceptional defensive powers, when in
the second period the West Ends had
the ball on the locals two-yard line, but
they were held for downs, Miller, Spill
lane and Mancini doing excellent work
in the shadow of their own goal

Connecticut league umpire.
The little town of Avoca, by the way,
is the home of Hughie Jennings, the
Detroit manager, who winters there,
and has law Offices in Scranton, of
which Avoca is suburb.
Steve O'Neill has a younger brother,
short stop with Washington, and two
older brothers, Jack and Mike, famous
as a battery for ST. Louis Cardinals
some years ago. Both the older broth
ers are playing independent ball now.
Stanley Coveleskie has two brothers,
both of whom are good players, but not
up to Stanley's reputation. In 1912 two
of the Coveleskie boys, John and Stan
ley, were with Lancaster, Pa, in the
old Tri-State league, aid Joe, another
brother, was with York of the same
league. Stanley was signed by the
Phil1ies the following year, and has had
his ups and downs until Iris Speaker
took hold of him, and this has been his
banner year. John pitched for Detroit
in 1917, but the younger brother, Joe,
never reached the big show, but may
be. heard from next esason. Thus is

BASEBALL PLOT
REVEALED BY DOOM

Charles Doom, fermer manager of
the Philadelphia National league base
ball club, in a statement published by the
Philadelphia Press, corroborated
charges made by Horace S. Fogel, a
former president of the club. that mem
bers of the Phi1lies had been offered
large sums to throw" games to the
New York Giants in 1908, when New
York and Chicago were fighting for the
National league pennant.
In 1908 every member of the Phil
lies was approached with offers of
fabulous sums" Dooing said. "Al1 any
of us had to do was to name our price.
A member of the Giants was one of
those who tried to buy US. A man ap-
preached me after the first game in
New York and handed me a package
containing $4,000. | was told there was
$40 900 more in the bank awaiting me.
He was big fellow and I called Kitty
Bransheld, our first baseman Kitty
threw him down the steps of our club
house."
Doom said the reason he did not tell
of the attempted bribery sooner was
because he and the other members of
the team thought it was for the best
interests of the game to keep quiet.
"The public is all too ready to be-
lieve that baseball is dishonest" he
added.

day that he is a good defensive boxer.
He warded off blows with apparent
ease, and his ducking and side-stepping
was a revelation.
There has been a suspicion among
the regulars at Summit that Carpen-
tier did not try to show off in his box
ing match Wednesday when party of
sporting writers visited the camp. The
belief among the experts who are daily
attendants at the Elks is that the
Frenchman didn't exert himself One
of the regulars remarked yesterday:
81 noticed that Carpenter didn't
make, any great attempt to avoid the
wa1lops that were aimed at him on
company day 1t looked to me as if
he were trying to keep his real ability
pretty much under cover. YOU know,

saries from the Morgan stable were
among the spectators"
