French Challenger
Has Good Workout

Manhasset. n. Y, June IA right
hand that worked like a piston, a
stiffness that is dazzling in speed
and a smile typical only of Georges
Carpentier-these things were exhib-
tied today at the training camp of
Jack Dempsey's challenger.
After spending n large part of the
morning on the road and in the gym
nasium, Georges ate a light luncheon
and appeared for work again at three
o'clock. First came the slow but hard
hitting Joe jeanette who felt not a
few Of Georges punches in the two
rounds that they boxed. This work :
out was good but it faded into in
significance after that which follow
ed.
Jack Goldberg. of Panama, a well
ner performer. He stepped into the
ring exchanged some smiles with
Carpenter, then gave the challenger
the best workout he has had on this
side Of the water
They worked fast and Carpenter
for the first time displayed the re-
markable speed for which for some
unknown reason he has held in leash
since beginning training. Around the
ring he danced. working his punches
accurately and in rapid succession.
Over went his left, then a swift
right, and he was out again. He at
tempted to check his blows so as not
to hurt his clever opponent. but on
one occasion His right caught Gold :
berg on the jaw and he fell to Car
pentier's shoulder. Begging his par
don many times, Georges held him
until he could recuperate. Goldberg
recovered quickly and they were at
it faster than ever.
When the two rounds were over,
Georges patted Goldberg affectionate-
ly on the shoulder, laughed and said:
"Fine, that's good: the best I've had"
A big crowd witnessed the workout
and Georges was loudly applauded
for every one Of his brilliant moves.

MINOR BASEBALL
LEAGUES COMING
BACK TO THEIR OWN

New York, June 1.-The minor
baseball league, at it's height short
time before the entry of the United
States into the World War and so
nearly threatened with extermina-
ton during that period, is regaining
former strength. Baseball men have
watched with interest and optimism
the gain of the many small leagues
since the close of the war. They
declare it is a matter of only one or
two years before the small cities,
which in years past have supported
Glass G and Glass d organizations,
again will back the numerous
league baseball successfully, is de-
majors with playing talent. The fire.
quency with which college and semi
professional stars of the past two or
three years have entered major
League baseball successfully, is de-
clared to be largely due to the pau
city, during war times, of the small
leagues.
The high water mark of the minor
league was in 1914. That year, in
addition to the two major leagues
and three Glass AA loops, the
American Association, international
League and the Pacific Coast
League, there were two Glass A or
CARNATIONS; eight in Glass 3: seven
! in Glass c and p in Glass D.
The two Glass A organizations, the
Southern Association and Western
I IL,
although at financial losses to di-
rectors. They We're joined in the
classification last year by the East
ern League and this season by the
| Texas League.
The decrease in the smaller
leagues from 1914 until 1918, when
the minimum was reached, however
was marked. In 1915, the Glass B
group, which the previous year had
comprised the Central, Eastern
Association. Three-I, New England
; New York State, Northwestern
Texas and Tri-State Leagues
dropped the Eastern Association
and the Tri-State League. the latter
composed of a group Of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware
cities.
BY 1913, only three leagues OF
, this class had survived, the Eastern
Pacific Coast, International and
| Texas Leagues. 1t was largely the
vigor shown by the Texas and East
ern groups during this period that
earned for them their present CLASH
fication in Glass A.
BY 1920, the membership of the
Glass B leagues again numbered six,
including the Three-I. Michigan
Ontario, Pacific international. Texas,
Virginia and Western Canada leagues.
This season the South Atlantic League
was admitted, making a membership
, of seven in the class as compared
, with the eight of 1914.
The Glass c and D groups have thus
far failed to come back" so success
. fully. Only two, Florida State
League and Piedmont League, are

operating in Glass C this season as
compared with the seven of 1914, ac-
cording to official published lists.
Only nine are operating in the Glass
d group as compared with the 81 of
1914. Of these nine only four. the
Appalachian. Georgia State, Texas
Oklahoma and Western Association
have endured through the critical
years. The others now in this CLASH
fication are the Blue Ridge. Dakota.
Mississippi State. Southwestern and
West Texas Leagues.
Financially. however. the leagues
that have remained are on firmer
basis than ever. Salary limits in 1914
in Class b averaged $4,000 monthly: in
Glass c from $1,000 to $1,000 and in
Glass from $1,000 to s140O. Only in
1918 did they take a pronounced slump.
Then in the Glass d leagues the Blue
Ridge limit of 5000 was the low level.
This season, the Glass B salary fig
ures range from $500 to $325O; Grass
c $4,000 to $3.50 and the Class d
Leagues pay a limit of $4,000. figure
undreamed of in 1914. The Dakota
League. one organization with such a
limit. includes Madison, s. D.. with a
population of 4144; Mitchell, S. D.,
S47S and Redfield. S. D.. with 2755
among its cities. Sioux Falls, S. d., is
the largest of the cities of the league.
with a population of 25,2O2 Baseball
men declare that such support for mi
nor league clubs from cities of that
size indicates surely that the game
will regain its former strength
throughout the country, insuring for
the major leagues correspondence
higher grade of baseball. The table
showing decrease between 1914 and
1918 and steady Increased since that
year follows:

BOXING NOTES

There will be outdoor boxing at
Prospect Park, Biddeford, during
the summer months. Lessard, a To-
Gal sparrer. opened his new training
quarters in the G. A. r. hall last
night. He proposes to give exhibit
tons frequently. 1t is believed with
good matches the interest in boxing
will be renewed in the city.
Pres. A. Lawrence Lowell of Har-
ward college has cancelled the per-
mission the overseers of the college
gave the Y-D to hold a boxing show
in the Harvard Stadium, July ..
His reason for taking the action is
that the affair is to be professional
boxing tournament for gain.
The Y-D will hold the show on the
same date at Braves Field. The
Braves will start their ball game on
that date at 1 o'clock, so it will be
over in time to allow the bouts to be
held in daylight.

desperately. Slowly lifting himself up he thrust his face close to Tony's. She was staring al him blankly as If his ghost had suddenly risen out of the StOrm-tosSed lake.
 Don't do that, darling" he whis- pcred as she drew back in terror. I'm going to take you away"
 Then she realized who it was, and reached out and clutched at him, breathlcSSly.
 "Cumb through" undertoncd Philip. "Quick, climb through, and when l tell you to drop. do it, but not before"
 By holding his body rigidly erect, he managed to keep the canoe upright. Then he waited. but not for long. Al most immediately a girls bare arm shot through the window. Something wriggled in her ClutChing fingers. Philip almost lost his hold on the boat as Gussie came against his face, He snatched the pig and dropped it at hlS feet. Then a pair of bare legs fol- lowed and Tony's body began to wrig- gle through the narrow aperture.
 Once or twice Philip muttered an ejaculation as a streak of lightning crossed the sky only to die and leave the water as dark as before. It was taking the girl an intermnable time to squeeze herself through that opening. Suddenly her shoulders were through, and she was hanging on by her hands.
 Just at that moment the tug ahead became silent, and Philip heard the two men walking back along it's roof. They were coming aboard the canal boat. and if He crushed the canoe nearer, lifted one hand and jerked the banging figure of the girl away from
