OFF TO SEANCEVILLE


 Carp came to his dressing room wearing cane. He'll probably need it to hobble to his hotel on when he comes to. Deschamps is busy counting the heads in the house. Carpenter enters the ring, and receives an ovation. He isn't particularly fond of ovations. He can't spend 'em. Carp bows grace fully before the boxes, and before he boxes. He has a smile on tis face. Pretty soon he'll have glove on it,-or in it. Fans at ring side get whiff Of Mary Garden perfume as Carp unleashed his bath robe. Wag has just remarked that Jersey City is such a dirty town they won't be able to find a towel to throw in the ring to Georges. Man with a. motion picture camera and a. home brew jag is trying to arrange his focus.
 Dempsey is just entering the ring. Mighty cheer goes up on all sides. Referee climbs into ring. Gong sounds. Both barley for an opening. It's over Carps eye Jack lands to the heart, then to the jaw Carpenter is down. He's trying to rise, with Jess Willard at ringside begging him not to be so foolish. Referee takes a chew and counts ten. He adds eight more to be doubly sure. They are taking Carp out of the ring. Many thous- and foolish fans, who have come many thousand weary miles are trying to kid themselves into thinking they got their moneys worth. Curtainsi

HANLON OFFICIAL
 HARD LUCK BOY

Eddie Hanlon who Is scheduled to meet Dummy Barrlngton in B. A. c ring next week is the official hard luck champion of the uni- verse. Originally Eddie had been scheduled to meet Burlington Mon day night. but while putting on an exhibition match few days ago, his sparring partner butted him over the left eye. The head seems far stronger than the eye brow. for a large gash was cut in Eddie's frontpiece and the doctor had to take several stitches in the laceration. This necessitated the postponement of the bout for three days. AS a consequence they will settle the old score and Dummy will attempt to open the old sore Friday night week.
 Another reason why Bobby Jones carries eighty clubs is that he may get peeved over bad shot and break two or three before the storm subsidies.
 In pugiIistic circles they have changed the name of the famous song to "The old Broken Beckett."

SCHEDULE GETS WORSE

As the Birmingham club plays out its schedule the average fan begins to puzzle still further on diagnosing the disease affecting the schedule makers at the time the 1921 campaign was mapped out. The Barons have been living on Pullmans so much since the season started that many of them have developed cases of cinders of the lungs. Today they tackle the Look outs again in Chattanooga, and then they hop back to Redwood for two games with the same az gregation. Then, they're off again for a two-day stay in far-away Little Rock They jump back into Birmingham for a series of four games with Mobile and then they hotfoot it for another road trip. It looks like the bird who made out such a schedule shook the dates in a hat and picked 'em out one at a time.

down. Big Hawk is an eyeful. When he ap-
peared on the boulevards of Paris recently he
was in time at all the center of matured
French riot.
When the reporter from the "Matin" came
along to interview him Big Hawk explained
that he had crossed the big water to teach the
French paleface youths how to become first
class Boy Scouts. The chief forgot to be
.stoical when it was suggested that his gor-
geous costume was dodge TO get some work
for the particular press clipping bureau, Of
which he is a subscriber. Ah no. 1t was
merely that he loved the costume of his tepee
dwelling ancestors.
But the sort of Indians Marshal Foch ardently
desires to come in contact with do not take
off their bead shirts when the reporters finish
with them and then hustle into dinner jackets.
The question is, what is the French soldier
going to see, not to say sniff, on the Rosebud
reservation, on which there are about ten
thousand Sioux. including a number of
wrinkled redskins who counted them
selves willing aids of Sitting Bull. Commits
sioner Burke, head Of the omnipotent Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs, allowed the Sioux
would stage so-caed war dance, barbecue
and present their distinguished guest with a
esteemed by them quite much as the French
do those bits of green ribbon attached to
bronze crosses that they call the Croix de
Guerre. If the Marshal makes a good i'm
preston some chieftain may decide to part
with war bonnet.
If they do have a barbecue, however, it
should be carefully supervised, lest it become
the basis of an exchange Of diplomatic corre-
spondence between the French Republic and
the United States. The truth of the matter
is that with the Rosebud Reservation Indians
hot dog is more than figure of speech.
If any does not believe this, let him
write indignant letter to William Orchard,
the anthropologst. DIR. Orchard knows Rose
bud well as Mayor Hylan knows Bushwick.
"It is rolling, desert country for the most
part" said DR.. Orchard, getting down his
tattered atlas and opening it to South Da-
kota.
"The Pine Ridge Reservation and the Rose
bud Reservation adjoin each other, having as
their northern boundary the White River
