club officials rendered him a new con
tract. The figures were not disclosed
Pat broke into the managerial game

did he finish out of the first division
Moran is an able manager. but most OF
his success has been due to his clever
handling of his pitchers.
He also gets his men playing together

CARPENTER NOT WELL
Reports From Paris Say Frenchmar
Never viii FIoht Derpsey

New York, July 16.-The state Of
Georges Carpenters health, which is
rumored in Paris to be far. below what
1t was before the war. is causing some
concern to boxing critics in the French
capital, according to a letter received
in the United States from the critic of
Boxe and Boxers, a Partisan sports
journal.
This man, who is an intimate friend
of the French idol and has known him
since childhood. declares that Carpen- =
tier has lost one inch in all his meas :
urements since the war, in which the
boxer served as an aviator. The ter
rifle strain involved in the air combat
and the injuries sustained by Carpen
tier are said to have been a drain or
his vitality, especially at this time
when the French champion is attempt
ing to bring himself back to fighting
trim.
According to this friend of Carpen
tier, there has been an incessant rumor
in Paris that Carpenter will never meet
Jack Dempsey in the ring.

In favor of them. The only objectors
are those who say, "Oh, It cant be
done but they give no valid reason.
Jack Doyle.
TT is a certainty that no pitcher is
going to give Ruth, Speaker, Jack =
son, Hornsby, ETC., chance to hit the
ball when hit might mean disaster.
Jack Doyle's suggestion is one of the
best we have seen, fer with this penalty
at hand no pitcher is going to do any
great amount of deliberate passing.
TT MUST be always recognized that
L the game is above any player. The
main idea must be to win all games
rather than feature any star. But as
far as possible. batting strength and
speed on the bases should be given their
chance to make good and not be ren i
dered null and void by a trick within
the law such as the intentional pass and
the half balk.
TT HAS been suggested that inten-
tionally passing a batter such as
Ruth or Speaker or Siser Is q brainy
play. No more brains than one might
use to get out Of the way of an express
train or dodge an automobile.

Lajoie in Cleveland Boston was lead
ing, to / in the last half of the ninth.
There were two out with runners on
second and third and Lajoie up. Prob
ably the 'brainy play" would have
been for Old Cy to pass ixarry. But in
place of that he cut two fast curves
over that Larry missed and then crossed
the 400 hitter with another fast curve
that started in and then cracked over
the corner of the plate. This type OF
pitching was a matter of brains plus
gameness, the only combination that
counts.
ENOR all that, very few pitchers are
1 going to take any such chances
with Slugger up. The only thing that
will make them pitch is a heavier pen =

penalty at all. No game is perfect. and
only time plus Judgment and experience
can correct mistakes. Jack Doyle
