BEEF COMES OVER TRAIL;

News. No crcaking prairie schooner
serves as the cowboys travelling
boarding house these days, for the
chuck wagon on this trip IL a gas
driven truck. II IL understood that
all the camping equipment is Of the
same modern type.
The high freight rates on the Mof-
Fat Road caused one Of the Routt
county cattlemen a month ago to try
driving his steers 20 Denver instead
Of shipping them The journey was
a success IN every way, the trip from
Steamboat, occupying only a little
more than two weeks, and the ami
mails showing far less shrink than
they would have experienced in four
DAYS huffeting in cattle cars.
The Moffat Road receiver recently
denied petition to reduce freight
rates on that line in conformity with
the move Of the Rio Grande. Whether
this attitude Influenced the cattlemen
in deciding on a drive 10 Denver Is
not known. The fact remains that
il is apparently cheaper in the sum.
r.srtime 60 trail cattle a couple OF
hundred miles into Denver from the
northwest than 10 haul them by train

TO VIEW Battlefield

Some day next week Richard will ac-
company Carpenter to the site of the
arena in Jersey City. where the French
man will get his first glimpse of the
scene of the coming contest. Dempsey,
in company with Richard, will view the
ring site two or three days later.
Carpenter was greeted wherever he
went today. Several thousand persons
waited for hours near the entrance OF
the steamship pier to greet him. Carpen-
tier, smiling his thanks for the recep-
ton, had difficulty making his way to
the waiting automobile. Through it all,
he retained his grip on the leash which
held in check the big. black Belgian po-
lice dog, his constant companion. M
cluded in the crowd were many fellow
countrymen Of Carpenter, who shouted
encouragement in their native tongue.
Rickard today received working model
of a steel ring which he probably will
accept for the Aersey City bout. The
plans call for a 20-foot square. A new
feature of the model Is that stools, which
pivot on the posts in two opposite cor
ners, will be furnished for the boxers,
Between rounds, these seats may be
swung out Of tho way with n minimum
of effort and saving Of time.

MIN to enter the ring at jersey City.
LOOKING FORWARD
Carpenter had lunch with George L.
CTeX) Richard, promoter of the bout
Immediately after landing at noon.
They discussed details concerning the
staging of the battle. The French
boxers confidence of defeating Demp-
sey was apparent when he inquired of
Richard If a suitable American challen-
ger would be available within, six
months after the Jersey City battle IL
he won. Richard assured Carpenter
that several American heavyweights
were being developed who would be
suitable opponents in such an event.
Carpenter declared that If he won he
would be glad to return to America to
defend the title.
The French man at his usual fighting
weight of 175 pounds, said he is in ex-
cellent condition. He has been training
throughout the winter For the first
week at Manhasset the work will be
comparatively light. After that a more
rigorous programme will be adopted,
with Joe Jeanette, the negro heavy
weight, directing the staff of sparring
partners.

JUNIOR PAINTERS
CLAIM 1921 STATE
BASEBALL TITLE.

In a letter to the sporting editor OF
The Age-Herald, athletic authorities OF
Simpson High school put in their claim
Tor the state high school baseball cham
pionship of 1921, basing their claim upon
| the fact that they won Is out of IL
games. all three defeats being admins
tered to them when eligibility rules OF
the 0efferson County High School league
barred three of their best players.
!, The letter, in full, follows:
Mr. Marvin. Mccarthy Sporting Editor
The Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala.
Dear Sir: Based on her record during
the past season, Simpson school claims
the high. school championship of Ala
CANA E
Simpson would also like to challenge
any team claiming the state title to meet
in one. two or three-game series tnis
week, the series to be played on neutral
territory or on territory agreed upon by
the contestants and to be played under
the rules OF the Alabama High School
association. We believe our claim for
the championship is right and are willing
to support It by playing any high school
combination in the state.
Simpson has won Is out of IS games
this season, defeating Shelby county four
games, Walker county two games, St
Bernard college two games, and winning
seven out of ten in the Jefferson County
league.
Playing under the county league rules.
three varsity men, probably the best ON
the team, were unable to play because
of the 2-year-old age limit. These men
were Outfielder Johnson and Pitchers
Graham and Hodge,. Johnson hit 500 in
montague games against about .125 for
his league substitute, while either Gra-
ham or Hodge would do credit to any
smaller college team in Alabama and are
probably the best high school pitchers
in the state. These men would add
considerable strength to the team. With
these playing Simpson did not lose
game, and upon the basis of this added
strength the championship is claimed.
THE three games lost were two to Ems
ley and one to Central.
Simpson and Central tied one game,
Central won once, 10 to 6, while Sinp-
son shut out Central, 6 to o. Coach
Homer L. Thomas has refused to allow
Central to play Simpson again, either
with Simpsons league team or the regu.
lar team.
'Ensley defeated Simpsons league
team twice, and now refuses to play the
regular high school team. The only rea-
son given is that Ensley wants to close
up the season with Jefferson's game
Tuesday and will not play Simpson on
Wednesday.
1--WE would like to state that the Ala
bama High School association rules,
adopted at Montgomery in the early
spring, specifically state that athletes
over 81 years of age are eligible to play
in high school athletics.
Thanking you, | remain
! Very truly yours,
i (SignedO ~. M. MALONE Principal
I dsigned) &c. L. Reynolds, Coach.

form, especially in slipping across a
series of light, but clean, blows to the
jaw when they were least expected
Kelly displayed great ability at leading
with a left and following with a couple
of swift ones to the head.
harrington turned up with something
out of the ordinary in a quick, stiff jab
to the head. The old Dummy style, as
Birmingham fandom knows it, is a pile
driving lead straight from the shoulder,
but last night Dummy varied his style OF
attack Instead of crossing his right as
lead, Darlington wound shoot out his
left in a stiff jab that usually found its
mark The follow-up right. However,
didn't do much damage.
In the second round Kelly landed
rocking left to the jaw that seemed to
daze harrington. For a moment the lat
ter seemed groggy, but he pulled himself
together and eyened the fight up during
the next few rounds.
DUMMY LANDS ROCKER
In the sixth harrington landed crash
ing right to the side that spun Kelly al
most completely around, but the Bat
tier stuck with Dummy and weathered
the round and the storm.
Kelly rallied during the last three
rounds and using his corkscrew left
uppercut, succeeded in opening a cut
under Barrington's right eye. Dummy
tried hard to pull himself together,
but he was unable to connect with the
shifty Kelly solidly and the latter kept
the lead which he had obtained.
At that, the bout was close enough
to cause anxiety on both sides of the
