Carpenter Tries
Out His Defense

Manhasset. n. Y, June SIN four
rounds Of sparring this afternoon
Georges Carpenter tried out his de-
Tense tactics and neither italian Joe
Cans nor Paul Journee was able to
| touch his smiling face.
Throughout the four rounds Car
pentier was at top speed and worked
his left more than usual Cans was
the first to enter the ring against him
and the little Brooklyn fighter caves
Georges a good workout. Journee,
who in other sparring sessions with
Carpenter apparently was able to lab
him at will, welded his left at the air
today.
Georges spent an hour in the gym
nasium and then went for an auto
mobile ride. He was on the road two
hours this morning. He said his wind
was improving and he did not feel SO
tired as he did when he first started
training.
Tomorrow Carpenter will appear
for newspapermen and probably will
work with Joe jeanette, who went
down under the challenger's right
last Monday.

Cony Highs baseball warriors made
the count $3.50 in the annual series
with Gardiner, by trimming the down
river lads, to 3 on Williams field,
Wednesday afternoon.
The contest had decided Brennan
flavor. The husky Red and White
twirler delivered a nice package of IA
strike outs and for good measure
raped out three beauty hits. In
only two frames did he falter-the
fourth and seventh-when Gardiner
pushed over a total of three runs and
these were not enough as Cony led the
whole distance and put the game in
cold storage in the sixth and seventh
Cony played ball all the time, only
one of the three miscues counting in
the run getting. Every Red and
White lad hit the pill hard, though
two went hitless. The bingles to-
tailed 10, one going for two Dagger.
H. Hildreth was not in the form
he was in the Gardiner game and was
able to fan but four Cony men. Kinds,
the midget guardian of the keystone
sack, poled out a couple of nice dou-
bles, registered once and fielded o. x.
c. Hildreth and Ross also hit the pill
for doubles. Two of Gardeners foo
zles proved costly.
The crowd? Yep, there was a mob
there and made up in the main of
Cony partisans. though Gardiner sent
up a goodly delegation. The new first
base, bleacherS-. We're reserved for the
Cony student body and alumni and
the showing was impressive. Ditto the
cheering. The welkin rang with
Cony yells with the dean of~alumni-
DR. Thompson-doing his bit.
Cony registered two in the initial
frame Drawn poled out a double,
Stafford strolled, and both moved up
on a passed ball. Burke robbed Far
rington of a double when he made a
sensational catch in deep left center.
Drawn scored on Plummer's out at
first and Stafford tailed when c. Hill

The Babe Serves His
Day in Jail for
Breaking Speed Laws

New York, June SIT takes more
than a Jail sentence to keep Babe
Ruth from playing ball at the Polo
Grounds. He served six hours-a
technical day--in the Traffic Court
pen" today, made a wild dash out
to the field and played three innings
of a winning game against Cleveland.
After paying his 500 fine for hitting
the high spots on Riverside Drive
about week ago, he began serving
one day ''in confinement" because this
was his second offense. If the meter
of newspaperman's taxi which fol-
lowed him to the park could be de-
pended upon, Babe violated the self
same speed law before he had been
out 10 minutes. He covered the nine
miles to the Polo Grounds in abou u
minutes.
AS four o'clock, the time for his re-
lease, approached, the same torpedo
roadster that twice led to his arrest,
awaited him outside the court. He
sped away from a cheering crowd of
fans and newspaper photographers,
with a policeman on the running
board to clear the way and Magis-
trate Mcclellan seated beside him to
see that he wouldn't be "pinched"
again.
He had part of his uniform under
his clothing and changed in time to
swing a bat in the sixth inning. The
crowds in the stands did not recog-
nize him at first. There was a pause.
then the crowds rose to their feet and
welcomed him uproariously.
He walked to first. stole second and
was not arrested, and made third on
the second out. Baker, who then
came to bat, grounded out, retiring
the side.
He got one more chance in the
, eighth, but was put out after a weak
blow to second. He did not have any
other chance to shine, but the fans
did not care, when the Yankee rallied
at the end Of the ninth and put over
two winning runs.
! Chester Williams is the proudest
colored youth in the city, due to
tinction of being the only man who
served a Sentence in the same pen
with the hitting champion. Chester
said Ruth kept to himself during the
/ day, held gloomy face "a mile long,
and refused even to join in a dice
game in a corner.
, "Tll never get caught speeding
again in this town." Chester said
Ruth remarked sadly, but when

hustle out to that game. Keeping 6
man here this way all day just makes

wonderful Tufts box man, Gus" Will
liams, whose work is familiar TO local
fans, and who is sure headed for the
big league, McGouldrick and others.
Some wonderful players, and we
should see some fast ball in Augusta
this season. The organizing of
team here has aroused interest III
other cities and towns in Maine, and
requests for games are coming IN
fast. There will be fast baseball ali
over the State, this season.
1t has been found impossible TO
open the season until Saturday, June
70, when the Lewiston team will be
the attraction at Williams field. This
will be Il real opening. with a band
and appropriate ceremonies attendant
theI 2Jo.
The question of admission was TAX
en- up by the directors at the meeting
last night, and it was decided to start
with general admission, including
the bleachers, of thirty-tive cents, ex-
cept on holiday games. This gives
net of thirty-one cents after paying
the war tax. 1t was decided to re-
pan lIIc dh0 SiLSiA Sc dh
admission to it. 1t is understood. OF
coudse, that this price is way below
admission charged in other places,
particularly considering the quality
of ball to be played, but the manage
ment desires to charge as low a price
as is possible to run the club. 1t pre-
fers that everyone attend the games
as the club is run for the general
public, and it is believed that inter-
est is such in baseball this year that
the attendance will be large. IL it
is not possible to run the club on this
admission fee, it will of course be
raised.
Mr.. Houser will come to Augusta
on next Monday to attend to the
many details preparatory to opening
the season. Among other things he
will issue a acll for local candidates
for the team, attend to arrangements
at the grounds. and make up the
schedule.

HEY, FANS, ABSORB THIS Line
UP OF KOUSER'S FOR AUGUSTA

Ben Houser was in town last night
and, naturally, with Houser in Au-
gusta there was something stirring
! in baseball circles. The big Bowdoin
coach and former major league star
has just finished the season at Bruns-
wick. His Bowdoin team came through
; clean for the college State champion
ship, winning all of it's games with
! the other Maine colleges and closing
with 1000 per cont. standing in the
| intercollegiate league.
Houser's reputation as a COACH is
equal to his work on the diamond,
where he captured the hearts Of the
fans with his wonderful playing of
| the initial bag.
He came over to meet the directors
of the Augusta Baseball Association
and to take up with the board plans
! for the coming summer. Augusta fans
are eagerly awaiting the opening of
| the local Jason. The interest is gen
| eral, and not for many years has there
been so much enthusiasm for baseball
in the Capital City. Old-timers are
barking back to the old days and once
more see visions of a State champion
| ship.
| Houser met the directors at supper
at Viewers restaurant. He tod them
of his success in signing up what he
hopes to be the nucleus of winning
team. and the news that he gave out
was received with much satisfaction.
1t is of course intended to give
every local player chance to make
the team. This is as II should be,
for if we have men in town who can
make the team everyone wan TO
see them out there on. the diamond.
1t is certain that Paul McGouldrick
, and Leo BeaudOin will be members
of the team, and Artie Abbott will
give as much of his time as is con-
sistent with the conduct of his large
farming interests. Francis Hill will
probably be seen in one of the out
field positions, and other Augusta
players will try out with Houser.
And now for the outside talent;
"Squanto" Wilson, Mcclure, Gag
non and Brisk; locke pretty classy
for an matchmaking any better
in New England; "Squanto." one of
the very best natural batters in the
country, full of pep" popular with
the fans, always in there playing the
game; Mcguire and Gagnon of Holy
Cross, nothing faster on any dia-
mond, each with several opportuni-
ties to go to the Majors this year
their work has been a sensation in
college baseball. These men have
been coached by Jack" Barry who
played alongside Houser for Connie
Mack years ago. Houser and Barry
coach their teams along the same
lines, and Barry is very glad for his
tow stars to have a season with
Houser; and Brisk, the Gardiner boy
member of the Amherst team
considered by good judges the peer
of all college third basemen.
In the outer garden, besides the To-
cal men mentioned, will be seen lad
named Graves, last season with Mar
blehead. the strongest semi-pro team
around Boston.
In the box will be seen Morrill, the

Dempsey Works 40
Minutes on His Shift
with Bag as Mark

Atlantic City, n. j., June SACK
| Dempsey worked out for 40 minutes in
his indoor arena today. practicing for
the most part on his famous shift
which, experts agree, he already has
mastered. He gave a remarkable dem
onstration of timing his punches. He
stood beforea heavy inflated punching
bag. rushed into the target as if set
for a right hand punch and then shift
ed, hooking it with terrific left that
carried the full power of his weight
He repeated this performance a full
10 minutes, first hooking with right
and then shifting to left.
Dempsey timed his punches so ac-
curately that he did not miss Once
he hooked with such force that the big
bag sailed over the heads of the spec-
tators. who questioned if Carpenter
could survive such hitting power and
speed
After the session with the punching
bags he jumped into the ring and
shadow boxed round. He then had a
.
felt stuffed bag suspended from the
! middle of the ring. He drove right
, and left hand blows into the bag with
such force that the leather covering
was ripped in two places.
After covering six miles on the road
ne returned to camp and spent the bal
ahce OF the morning building a new
mousse and fenced-inyard for lis four
, days. He made a trip down town for
the lumber and wire netting and
, seemed to enjoy the work.
The first newspaper reporter to be
denied admittance to the camp sine.
Dempsey began training here was
turned back at the gate this after
noon after he had presented a pass
issued by the personal representative
Oh Jack kearns. Dempseys manager.
He had written stories which DENIM
sey,s handlers considered offensive.

promptly torn up.
