recent utterances of Lord Carson by
RED. aiding Lord Carson of the "un-
wisdom and rashness' of talking of the
Government not daring to so before the
country on the treaty. He admitted
that the treaty had not evoked enthusi-
asm. but declared that no settlement
following the long clash and ancient
antagonism would be likely to elicit
enthusiasm.
The Chancellor declared the treaty
was the best obtainable under the cir
cumstances The Irish, Lord Birken-
head continued. were a wayward people
and nobody was able to say what they
would do in unexpected contingencies.
But he could say that for the first time,
with due and adequate protection for
listers legitimate interests, 1--WE have
given a population, which is overwhelm-
ingly homogeneous, an opportunity of
taking its place by the side OF the
other communities composing the Brit
ish Empire" He added that this was
a great moment in history.
Remarling that If it were necessary
that the settlement be submitted TO the
last test, which II was the Governments
power to apply (to the peopie), Lord
Birkenhead proceeded to give the rea-
sons that led him TO believe that his
hopes that Ulster would decide to enter
the settlement were not wildly eStrava-
giant.
Quoting from some passages OF LORD
Carson's speech, the Chancellor said ::
These are wild and foolish words" He
also lashed out in his characteristic
style at the Marquis of Salisbury and
the Duke of Northumberland. He said
that the Duke of Northumberland and
all soldiers were mad, that all politi-
clans were fools or rogues, and that all
workmen were actual or potential Boil

CENTRAL NINE MAY
 PLAY FIRST GAME. AT MARION FRIDAY
By BEN GREEN

Coach Gil Meyers, CentraPs sport tutor, will perform the George Wash ington stunt and swing the ax Monday afternoon, cutting the crimson base ball squad to IA players. Five of the selected Central swatters will be bat terymen, including two catchers and three pitchers. A quintet of infielders will be carried and four outer garden CTS will complete the roster. The To- cal squad shapes up all right in the fielding line, but has not found its batting eyes yet. Another weeks prac- tice will put the Crimson in shape to compete with the best of them. how ever.
 CATCHERS
 "Spuds" Davis and Frank Chambers have the receiving places cinched, but Coach Meyers will have a hard time deciding on which one to use the most as varsity man. He will probably di- vide up the work between them and will use the one not playing as pinch hitter if needed. Byrd, Cory and Simpson have the edge on the hurling corps positions and will probably De selected. "BaDe' Levy or IoIu <AuoeI- son could fill in acceptably on the mound if needed. Simpson can fill practically any position on the team and is very valuable man. The pitching talent available this year is much better than expected.
 Only three men may be tolerably sure of infield positions. Chet Gold stein at first. A. c. Young at short. and Babe" Levy at third have prac- tically cinched their jobs. Milliken and Copeland have the edge on the other two berths. Milliken is left-handed batter and is a good fielder. Barney is all right at fielding. but cannot hit much. He may be carried along to play. the part of 'portable. persistent pep percolator." Larkin andSs Harris have a show in the selection also. Davis is ambitious to fill the second base gap and may get chance to put in some labor there.
 MANY OUTFIELDERS
 Outfield material is rather plenti- ful and it will be pretty hard job for Meyers to decide on the best men. ''Shep" Williamson in right and "Swede' Anderson in left are sure ties, and Bob Drennen has the edge on the centerfield consignment Red" Fox, Cecil Harris.

 Carpenters reportec statement, ca bled from Sunderland, Eng. that he would fight Dempsey m -sew York on July 2. was today sex down as of doubtful origin. Just the same, any fight fan who wants to mase reputa- tion as a prophet stands a good chance of having his ambition realized if he names either New York or some spot in New Jersey easily reached from this city as the scene of the fracas. Jersey men have been doing rot of quiet talking to Rickard ana Governor Ed wards has no objections at all to pro- moter of Richards standing pulling off the fight in his stare.

 BILL WOULD MAKE GOOD
 Proxy J. D. Martin, boss of the Southern league. has announced six of his arbiters for the coming sea- son. The latest additions to the staff of umpires are Tex Erwin and George Tandy. The former is a graduate of the Western league, and Handy comes from the Pied mont circuit. Bulldog Williams, Bill Brennan, Cy Pfirman and Dan Pfenninger were carried over from last season. This leaves but two vacancies on the staff. If Bill Mc- Namara, who Is in the Baron fold as assistant coach, could be en- ticed to sign a contract, he would make the Southern league good man. Bill has been working as arbiter in the practice games at Redwood and has shown remark able skill at handling the indtcA- tor. don't know whether he could be persuaded to go into this department of the game or not but if he Is open to propositions, Boss John D. could make no mis- take in offering him a place on the staff.

ORIGINAL PLANS

1 As for the plans originally made re- garding the purses. the fighters were to receive-$3O0.00 900 for Dempsey and $200. 1000 for Carpentier-;, may be said l that there is hardly chance that the lscrap will be held under those terms. | If the boxing commission mad not put | a $15 limit on seats for e.gnts in New York Rickard would have suck to his guns on the proposition originally agreed to by Charley cochran, the English promoter, William A. Brady and Rickard. That is ve would have stuck, assuming the fight were to be held in this state. But even with the fight held in New Jersey. or in fact. any place where no restrictions are placed upon the price o- seats, exist ling industrial conditions would make exorbitant seat prices inacvlsable. All the chances, thus, are that the fighters will mees on per
 centnge basis and thas they wuI l battle in an arena capable of
