ring title, will not meet Jack Demp-
sey before next year at the earliest
Tex Richard has discovered this
when he succeeded in pinning M
Francois Descamps, Carpentier's man
ager, down to facts and eliminated
the hot air from his statements.
On his arrival here yesterday, De-
scamps announced that Carpenter
would meet Dempsey Anywhere, any
and the sooner the better"
Now II develops that his remarks
were entirely too optimistic.
"In case Dempsey clears up his
legal status satisfactorily" Rickard
asked Descamps. "how soon can Car
pentier enter the ringy
"He will need at least ten months
in which to fit himself" was the
reply.
As Carpenter appeared In superb
form when he faced Joe Beckett In
London, this statement Is considered
strange, and some wise ones believe
that Carpenter Is not any too anxious
to tackle the champion. 1t would not
be surprising now II all attempts to
bring these boxers together cease un-

talk real business. Just now he Is

BY FREDERICK G. LIEB.

After being nosed out Of the 1907
championship in the famous II in
ming tie game with Detroit. in the
last week Of the season, Connie
Mack believed he had a powerful
team for 1908. But events didn't
bear out his calculations, and by
midseason he realized he was def
nitely out Of the running.
Mack then started to tear down and
build up from the bottom. On his last
trip around the West. he left such
seasoned players as Davis. Murphy,
Hartsel, Plank. Bender and others
at home and tried out a raft of young
sters. All OF these youngsters didn't
stick. but those that did proved
jewels. They were the nucleus OF
the famous Athletic champions OF
1910, 1911. 1913 and 1914.
One youngster who reported to the
Athletics was a big. rather awkward
country boy, who had received word
to Join the club at the expiration OF
the Tri-State season. Playing with
the Reading Club of that league he
had made quite a reputation as q
slugger.
base in Reading, and Mack stationed
him at that bag. The farmer boy
didn't make any home runs that day,
but he made one OF the three singles
that Mack's assortment OF rockies was
able to bag from the masterful pitch
ing OF Ed Walsh, who then was hav-
ing his banner year.
Baker Was at Third.
The young third baseman was John
Franklin Baker. OF Trappe. Nd. base
balls home-run king until the sensa-
tional, Babe Ruth embarked on his
homerun career last season.
Baker broke into the majors at the
time Of the famous 1908 three-cor-
nered American League race between
Detroit, Cleveland and the White Sox.
with the latter straining every effort
to keep pace with the others.
J. Franklin didn't even cause a rip
pie when he got his first big league
start in Chicago. He was just a Mack
rookie, and wasn't even accorded
honorary mention in the lead sent out
from Chicago on his first big league
box score:
THE White Sox again shut out the
Athletics here today, the score being
to 0. The first run of the game
came in the first inning. Hahn

walked, took third on a sacrifice and
scored when Anderson sent a long fly
to Coombs. Jones was safe in the
eighth on Nichols bad throw, went to

ing out the Boston Red Sox. They
finished twenty and one-half games
behind the champion Chicago white
Sox. In other words, they must make
up some twenty ball games II they
would dispute with any rival for the
glories of winding up the season az
a championship OUTFIT.
1t Is interesting to note how Sid
Keener. st. Louis baseball writer
dopes out the chances OF the Browns
for the coming campaign. II Is eH-
hilarating to read dope that attempts
to show a home team destined for the
grand triumph. Washington's war
correspondents have busted them
selves bearing down hard on the soft
padel, for some reason or other. But
not so friend Keener.
... Hark To Sid Kecner!
"As the Browns see themselves"
writes Keener:
They did not have a regular out
field last season.
y, "They will have Tobin, Williams
and Jacobson this year.
jacobson did not discover that he
was a major league hitter until June.

Last year Herman Bronkie was
given a long trial to succeed Austin,
and the club was in slump with
Bronkie in the game.
Hank SEVERED was late in report
ing and was not in coalition to work
regularly until the latter part of May.
Davenport will not be around to
toss away games and generally cause
dissatisfaction in the camp.
1.-THE Browns will be geared to step

Early Squirt VIII Help.
LAS the Browns look to me today
all they will need will be a squirt
when the barrier is raised. They fell
off when the field started last April
by losing three out of four to the
White SoX and two straight to the
Indians. They were down-so far
down that they did not get up very
high when they put on their streak in
June and July.
''The 1920 Browns have enough ex-
perience in their pockets. They know
Burke's style Of play and they know
Just what each player can do. Their
lone weakness may show in going
against left-handed pitching.
From top to bottom though they
have sound hitters. With Weilman
back, Davis to become a regular, the
Browns may be just what they say
they are--in the 1920 race"
Look for Some Changes.
Many followers ST American League
baseball look for some surprising

changes In the standing Of the clubs
this coming season. Many believe
that the White Sox are about done as
contenders, giving way to Cleveland
and Detroit.
The Yankees are sure to start with
blowing of horns and beating of
cymbals. but many think Ruth will
prove a nivver and that internal
troubles will rip the team apart by
July4.
If these things come to pass. who
will say that Jimmy Burke's roister-
ing crew won't be ready to hop into
the fight! The Browns played intel
ligent baseball last year, had speed
and plenty of pep. Starting of as
they ended in 1919, the Browns may
provide much of the fireworks in the
league next summer and, despite the
bitter rivalry, Washington fans Will

SIN IL was nice to note that Baker
had no part in this infield juggling.

chances faultlessly.
Holds Home Run Record.
Despite the fact that Babe Ruth
made a new home-run record last
season. Frank has hit more home
runs than any other player who ever
played in the American League. His
ten homers OF last season carried him
up to seventy-seven home runs, which
does not include the historic worlds
series homers he made in 1911 and
1913.

Matty for home runs in successive
