GEORGES ALL IN
As PREDICTED BY
JACKS MANAGER
Calling OF Of Fight With Cook
Shows Frsnchman in
Bad Shape.
By SID MERCER.

Georges Carpenter has asked for
another pOstponement-this time an
indefinite one--of his fight in London
with George Cook. originally SEIZED
uled for December 8. It now seems
unlikely that the European cham.
pion will appear in the ring this
winter and 1t Is not improbable that
he may never fight again.
Cook 10 regarded as a soft English
'set.up" and Carpenter. in any kind
OF condition, should beat him easily.
The fact that Georges has practical
ly cancelled the bout strengthens the
belief that he has broken down
physically a. a result of the terrific
body pounding he endured from Jack
Dempsey on July at Jersey City.
When Jack Kearns reads this news
somewhere out West today he will
probably recall a prophecy he made
the night after the affair of Boyle's
Thirty Acres.
Dempsey. Kearns. Mayor Bader, of
Atlantic City, and one or two scribes
were wondering what Carpenter
would do next. One of the group
up with Tex Richard to box Tom
Gibbons. Harry Greb or Bill Brennan
here this fall.
Take II from me-" asserted
kearns. that Frenchman will not
fight anybody for a long time. Boy,
he took an awful lacing in the ribs
today! I didn't believe there was a
man who could stand Dempsey's rib
crushers that long, but this fellow
Ia game. But he doesn't know how
badly he was hurt, and probably
won't realize II for weeks or until
he tries to get In shape for another
fight. i hope I am mistaken and that
he comes back to America, but
don't think he will"
This statement Of Kearns was ridi-
culed. Folks said no man could in
flict such punishment with light
boxing gloves. Tex Richard declared
Carpenter was coming back in q few
weeks after he sailed for France in
July. He was to fight at Madison
Square Garden In the early fall
But Carpenter did not come back.
After q long rest he consented to the
match with Cook. but there have
since been many rumors that
Georges has suffered a physical col.
lapse.
We hope Carpenter fully RECEIVERS
his health and that he returns to
America in the near future, but we
do pot believe he will ever be z first
class man after that terrific botly
battering.

YALE 8 ELEVEN
|SPR|MED FOR
HARVARD GAME
Eli Players Take Train Today
for Cambridge-Light Work
for Crimson.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Nov. IT,
Yale is ready for her supreme ef-
fort-the Harvard game.
Coach Tad Jones and his assist.
ants put the Blue squad through a
final practice INF the bowl Wednes-
day afternoon and today at p. m.
herded the players into a train bound
for Boston.
The team as 1t will play on satur-
day follows:
Loft end, Hulman; left, tackle,
Into; left guard. Cruikshank; center,
Lands: right guard, Guernsey; right
tackle, Quaile; right end, Sturm;
quarterback, O'Hearn; left halfback,
Aldrich; right halfback, Jordan, and
fullback, Mallory.
Yale can see nothing but Aldrich's
team. The student body is back Of
1t to a man. and in the opinion Of
has no look in whatever. Yale is
willing to put all the money It can
borrow from home at the ratio OF
10 to on it's team, and some OF
the more daring have telegraphed u
stack OF 1t to Cambridge to be
placed at 10 to 8.
CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 17.--Coach
Bob Fisher planned only light work
for the Harvard varsity squad today.
Special attention was to be paid to
kicking and forward passing. These
departments of the game are being
counted on to prove effective against
Yale.

Mitchell is a fine match player. He
has done more in match play than he
has in medal competitions He is

Recognized as the longest driver I'm

show of his talent. He is never wor

knows that this is not all there is to

Golfers who permit themselves to-

that reaches out a little further than
their opponents will overlook the finer
POINTS OF the game, as a rule. How.
ever. I believe that long drive is eX-
ceedingly useful. but Ii is not every.
thing. IL usually means AN easier
second shot.
About all that good golfer wants
to know is this: Is the ball far enough

good position on the fairway so
that the shot to the green is made
easier to play?
Strong wrists and hands properly
applied in a shot give distance in golf.
I recommend, II a player is missing
shots to ease I'm and come hack slow.

who play their first few shots with
part power until they feel sure of
themselves-an excellent idea. If you
are looking up on shots, try coming
hack slowly. 1t is almost impossible
to be too slow on back swing. Take
the clubhead away from the ball as
you want il to come in.

BASEBALL CLANS
PLAN MEETING IN
BUFFALO DEC. 6
Minor Leagues Will Take Fire.
works to Annual PoW-Wow
Next Month.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.--Ba se ball
clans are preparing to gather for the
first big pow-wow of the winter
Buffalo is to be the scene Of action,
and the occasion the annual conclave
of the National Association, scheduled
December s.
All OF the minor leagues will be rep
resented. Some OF the minors will
bring along fireworks. Big league
managers and owners will be on hand,
too. They always manage to keep
track of how trade winds are blowing
In Mike Sections organization. Many
major league teams are shy on young
material, and all are eager to get first
hand reports on any youthful talent
that may have been overlooked in the
draft.
Draft Is Important.
The big item on President Sections
slate for the coming convention Is the
draft. Its adoption or rejection by the
association as a whole Is to be argued.
At, present leagues have the right to
accept or reject 1t, and while most Of
the small leagues permitted the majors
to draft their players this year, the
American Association and the Inter
national and Pacific Coast leagues
stood pat against II.
The association and the Coasters"
are said to be solidly arrayed against
any change, but there is a promise Of
much wrangling among international
Lsaguers. Most Of the Grub owners in
John Conway Tooles circuit want the
draft Jack Dunn, owner of the Balti-
more Orioles, is its bitterest opponent
Having built up team that out
classes the rest Of the league, Dunn
steadfastly refuses to part with
player, and meanwhile some OF his
fellow "mags" complain that they
can't keep up with the Orioles, because
al long as the draft is not permitted
by the International they will be un.
able to make favorable working agree
ments with big league teams.
Rumors Are Thick.
The close approach OF the minor
leasu meeting and the coming OF the
annual major league confabs has
started the rumor factory working
again Trades and sales are being
limited at throughout both big league
circuits, The Pittsburgh Pirates. 1t is
said. are in for q shaking up, and other
teams must be revamped.
What Judge Lands will do In the
Ruth case In another topic OF interest.
The commissioner is expected to hand
down a decision most any day. He
may do 1t at Buffalo. where he will
make several important addresses to
PLAYERS, umpires, owners, managers
and the baseball public at large.

Knows Too Many Ways
To Make Good In
Any One

The question has been asked
as to why Joseph Kirkwood. the
Australian title holder. was able
to win no championship during
his tour OF this country and Great
Britain, when he has such wiz
ardlike control over the ball. The
answer. according to a man who
has made a study of Kirkwood's
methods. is because he knows so
many ways of playing shot
that when he comes up to ball
he can't decide which one to en-
ploy. The uncertainty bothers
him. 'Now." declares this golfer.
"when / play / know of only one
way to play the shot. and | con
centrate on that. II | fail. it is
from lack Of skill. not from men

Grounds on November 26 it's morale

out on the field to match strength and

Midshipmen met in their last game.
The Navy 10 sure to fight to the end
with all Of its old-time spirit.
The Army had better be prepared to
do likewise. No early season defeats
are likely to make the slightest diff
terence In the playing OF either team.
When they face one another they for
get everything but that they are both
out to play their best game and to
fight to the very last whistle.

Indian Rites pYlno Out.

The Hopi Indians, more than any other tribe, have long-cherished forms, says a correspondent. Still here in the isolation of the gleaming desert and mesa country one may witness still the corn dance, the snake dance and other picturesque ceremonials which the influence of the white man has as yet little changed. Among all of the Pueblo people there has been preserved much of the old Indian cul- ture. This is easily understood when one considers the character of the Pueblos. Dwelling in ancestral vil- lages century after century, avoiding war when possible, and in their re- mote mesa homes resisting even the disintegrating influence of the white men, these interesting tribes have pre- served some magnificent art, poetry and religious sentiments which are now in danger of extinction, just as the white student of Indian life is beginning to appreciate their value.
