To Get Biz w We1COn1e TOU. S. French Champion Will Spend Only Five Days In New York, Where He Is Due to Arrive Late Today
 Before Starting for West
Co H~e4G S-,S

New York, March 22.---When Georges Carpenter sets foot for the first time on the soil of America the people will greet a unique figure in pugilism. The heavyweight boxing champion of Flu rope not only is a fine, intelligent looking chap but he has the manners of a drawing room favorite. Graceful in carriage, genial smiling and cour- teous he no doubt is the highest type of the modern athlete
 It is held in some quarters that ath- elite prowess and Intellectually are seldom found in combination, and if such is the case then Carpentier fur nishes one notable exception to the rule. His self-pOise is perfect, and no matter whether in the ring or in a so- cia1 gathering he seems never to fail to do the right thing at the right tim e. That Carpenter will be the recipient 1 of the most cordial greeting ever ac- corded a foreign athlete is an assured fact. Plans are under way to have him as the honor guest at a, function at which many of the most prominent citizens of the city and State will be i present.
 ] On the arrival of the pugilist, which, 1 barring unexpected delay, will be late
 today, he will be escorted to the Hotel l BiItmore and will make his headquar- | ters there during his stay In tnls city. | Carpenter will remain here only five days when he will start for the Pa , cific coast to fulfil ion picture en- Igagements and thereafter will take tc
 the road in vaudeville under contract with Jack Curley.
 Carpenter and his manager, Des- camps, will be under disadvantage
 owing to the fact that neither speaks
 English with any f1uency. It is prob
 able an interpreter will be on hand tc facilitate conversation. By this means
 Carpenter may be able to disclose in
 formation as to the identity of the
 promoter with whom he has signed
 and also express opinion as to the
 probable outcome of a bout betweeI
 him and Dempsey. Nevertheless, the
 coming of Carpenter will mark ar
 epoch in the social phase of a pugilist': career.

 Players Win Match From Elm City Club

Bridgeport put one over on the New Haven checker team yesterday when they beat them by 22 to 15 and II drawn. This is the first time Bridge port has made such a good showing and it won't be the last. In the last match, held three weeks ago, the local players drew against them and from then on it was expected that the New Haven players would get trimmed.
 The New Haven team was composed of 12 of their strongest players, and Bridgeport had all their best men ready for them. The lineup and scores were:

WHITE STAR AS RIBBONS DEFEAT F STAMFORD FIVE

Having conquered Stamford in the first game for the state basketball title, the Blue Ribbons will now pre- pare to down Ansonia in a contest scheduled for next Sunday night at Colonial hall. The Ribbons trimmed Stamford at Colonial hall last night before a large and enthusiastic crowd. The score was 47 to 2S and the Rib bons showed more class in every de- partment of the game.
 Manager Leavy of the Ribbons had signed up a great collection of stars and the fans saw some clever floor work. Nat Holman and Eddie White were the forwards, Leonard played center and the guards were Bruggy and Dehnert. It was a big evening for Eddie White, the feet forward tossed eight from the floor. Bruggy came through with five from the floor and Dehnert had four. The Ribbons took a big lead at the start and were ahead by 2S to Il at the end of the first half. Beckman led the visitors with four goals. Reich, who played the other forward. did not do much. Meehan got only one from the floor but caged eight fouls. Grimstead and Harvey were the guards.

LONG
 HITS HELP S0X
 TR0UNCE GIANTS

Dallas, Texas, March 22.---The Giants sustained their first defeat of the sea- son yesterday, dropping the second game of their series, with the Red Sox by a score of to 8. The hitting of Harry Hooper was the most potent factor in the Boston offensive. Fred Toney hurled five innings for the Giants and Jess Barnes completed the game. Waite Hoyt and Herb Pen mock did the pitching for Boston. Hoyt was in splendid form, and would not have been scored upon in the five in- nings he hurled but for a double steal, on which the. Sox f1fvvered badly.
 The double theft was responsible for the first run scored in the game It occurred in the fourth inning. Doyle led off, and scratched a hit past Me Innis. Kauff was thrown out by Scott and F'risch flied to Menosky, but Kelly reached first on a. tumble by Foster Then came the two-ply pilfer, ana Doyle scored. The SoN took the lead away from the Giants in the fifth. With one out, Hoyt singled to right. Hooper then hit the first ball pitched to him over the right-feld fence
 In the sixth the Giants again forged ahead, chiefly because of the wildness of Pennock, who went to the box for Boston in that inning. Doyle, the first batter to face Pennock, struck out, but Kauff, Frisch \ and Kelly walked in rapid succession, filling the bases. Pennock could not get the ball over the plate for Barnes, either, and he forced Kauf over the plate. Me Carty singled to right, scoring Frissch, but Burns brought the drive to a close by hitting into a. double play
 Hooper had a hand in knotting the count for Boston in the seventh. Wal ters, first up, drew Q pass from Barnes. Pennock hoisted a fly to Kauff, but Hooper slammed the ball to right field for two bases, pushing

Every sporting man from Broad way to Frisco rem enbers Sam Pruitt. Sam was the hea1thiest dash of soot that ever drew on a pair of tights and the jokes that he has pulled and had pulled" on him will never be forgotten. Sans attitude was near 1y seven feet and he packed nearly 300 pounds of dark meat on his Skele- ton. But as Sam himself used to say: ''I can fight only at times." No one had ever been able to say just when that heavenly hour was, and when Pruitt was so informed he would just smile and whisper Nevertheless, sir, there are times, there are times, friend.''
 Pruitt devised all sorts of stunts as substitute for genuine fistic combat Once he fought Bob Armstrong in Frisco. Samuel scented keen opposi- tion with Robert who was no small shucks with his dukes. So Pruitt purchased a goose, ate it, and ther saturated his skin with grease from the pan. But, like Achilles of old Sam had his weak spot. He forgo | to grease his stomach. Armstrong. blows skidded off the Fruit anatomy without effecting any damage unti Bob socked Sam in the stomach l Arrhstrongs arm sunk into Sam! l body to the wrist. When Fruit de ] tached himself from the Armstrons mitten he promptly crawled right ou of the ring exclaiming: MT. Arm ], strong, you are no gentleman"
 Fruit staged most of his con flicts at Alec Greggains' old club or Sixth street in Frisco. One nigh l Alec sent. him up against a tougI 1 heavy from the water front San wasn't in it for a minute, and h. early began to inspect for the softes l blanks.

JIMMY MURPHY
 WILL COMPETENT
 BIC AUTO EVENT

Indianapolis, Ind, March 22--Jin- my Murphy, who flashed from ob- security into fame by winning the inaugural 250-mf1e sweepstakes on the Los Angeles Speedway, has en- tered the eighth international 500- mile race on the Indianapolis Speed way, May 31st.
 Practically an unknown before the Los Angeles event. Murphy demon strated that he is entitled to rank among the worlds greatest drivers by his showing during this contest, which he won at an average of 1O3.2 miles an hour, after a nonstop run.
 A brilliant future is predicted for the youthful phenom by racing ex- perts, his headwork during the Los Angeles race being on a par with his driving skill. Content to roll along within striking distance of first place through seven-eights of the distance, while his adVerSarieS were setting what was afterwards proven to be too fast a pace, he came to the fore during the closing moments of the contest and thereafter was never headed 2
 To win his first championship race ! is an experience that has never been vouchsafed by driver, and the fact that Murphy succeeded in turning the
 
 lucky star somewhere in the firma- ment that is shedding divine effu1- gence for Murphy's special bene- fit
 As. a, matter of fact, his luck lasted exactly long enough in the Los Ange- les race, his supply of gasoline run ming out on the back stretch while he was making an extra lap of the track after crossing the finish line. Had thi: happened the lap before, forcing hin to walk to the pits for fuel, he would still be novice instead of the cham pionship contender that he is to day. --.-
 Murphy acquired his driving skill under the tuteIage of the veteran Tommy Milton, an expert in ever. trick of the trade, with whom he rod as mechanician for several seasons Milton, with greatest good sportsman ship, coached Murphy in everything that he knew, and derives as mucl satisfaction out of his protege' triumph at Los Angeles as though h had captured the event himself

Peter JacksOn's Last
 Bout Was With Jeff

Jim Jeffries defeated Peter Jack son in 3 rounds at San Francisco on this date in 1898. This was the last ring battle of the once mighty Peter, in his time about the cleverest heavy weight who ever wore the padded mitts. Jackson. was about 37 when he met Jeff then a ;brawny youngster of 22, and the gay life of London and other great cities and robbed the big black of much of his stamina and much of his speed and science.
 Jackson had been out of the ring for years. and his try at a "come- back with Jeff was a pitiful farce. Jackson was at his best when John L. Sullivan wore the pugilistic crown, and against him the Bostonian wisely drew the color line. In 1891, Peter, although handicapped by an injury, he had received in a runaway ac- cident, fought Jim Corbett 61 rounds to a draw.
 After his bout with Jeff the big West Indian negro returned to Aus tralia, where he had started his fighting career. He did not long sur vfve, and when he died the Australian sports perpetuated his memory with a fine monument.
