Other Promoters, Managers
and Fighters Taken Com
pletely by Surprise.
~ CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

The repo ted abandonment OF the
Dempsey Carpenter match resolves it
self into apparent disinclination on the
part OF William A. Brady and Charles
B. Cochran to face the possibility OF
financial loss In the staging OF the con-
test. or oil the promoters, poxers and
managers concerned in the match Mr..
Brady was the only one to declare that
the match was off. He had not con-
suited Mr.. Cochran. as Is evident from
the Associated Press despatch from Lon
don. quoting the English promoter as
being In Ignorance of the report.
Mr.. Brady says that he Is Cochran's
agent here and that he took the action
on his own responsibility. He says the
rea son for HIS action was that Dempsey
had not deposited his forfeit money of
$4,000 with a trust company in this
CITY, as was required by the contract.
and that Carpenters action in Deposit
ing his fo~fe'' - Morgan bank In Paris
was not satisfactory.
This objec.Itl. . purely technical In
character. for proof has been adduced
that Dempsey's forfeit was secured by
bond. just the same as Mr. Brady's and
Mr.. Richards forfeits were guaranteed.

amusing. especially as Mr.. Cochran. who
is resident Of London, could easily ar
range to have the Frenchman bonded.
In substance Mr.. Brady, not being on
thusiastic over the prospect of profits on
the bout, owing to the tendency to lower
prices for seats at boxing contests. de-
cided to withdraw and take Mr.. Cochran
along with him. Mr.. Brady had no au-
thorty to declare off the match. and
the fact that Tex Rickard has decided to
go ahead with the bout and get others
to take the places of Messrs. Brady AID
Cochran may be accepted as an assur-
ance that the contest will yet be staged.
1t Is true that the promoters OF the
match guaranteed the boxers too much
money. but that Is not good reason for
trying to evade their responsibility on
the ground Of purely technical objections
Phil Glassman, manager Of Lew Tend
ler. says he Is willing to match Tender
against Leonard any time the bout can
be satisfactorily arranged"
Those two last words leave q wid,
opening for argument. What does Philip
mean by satisfactorily?
Some months ago Glassman insisted
on the champion making 1913 pounds
ringside, which was contrary to rule and
impossible. Later on, 1t Is declared
Glassman wanted $4,000 for Tenders

sibility.

Miss Morgan Thrilled
by Mitchell's Courage

OINcINNArI, Jan. 19.-Miss Anne
Morgan, who is here in the il.
~ terest of the fund for devas-
tated France, made this comment on
the Leonard Mitchell fight:
splendid! Beyond descript on
Never in my life has anything given
me such thrill as Richie Mitchell
gave In that ring. Those boys were
hardly face to face when there was
spring. blow and a crash. Mitch
ell was on the floor. Up again ana
down in heap up once more and
down he went. Everybody say ng.
It's all over, it's all finished and
then that boy was up. was lurching
forward-a swing--a driving arm
and there lay the great champion, a
huddled mass, while the crowd roared
like men gone mad.
1T does not matter to me that
Richie Mitchell could not win; that
the great champion arose and shook
himself together and at last beat
Mitchell down. To me the whole
glory and ecstasy of that fight came
that one splendid moment when
Mitchell arose superior to everything,
did the impossible and dropped the
champion with that wonderful rally.

SENTIMENT OPPOSES
BASEBALL SPYING
stool Pigeons on Major
League Teams Not APP
proved Of Here.
by DANIEL.

Reports that Judge Lands Is 10 be
represented on each major league base
ball club by player who will keep his
eye on his teammates could not be con-
firmed In local official circles yesterday.
The story is that In order to keep some
Of the erratic ones on the straight ana
narrow path the judge has decided to
use what in plain language may be
termed stool pigeons"
Sentiment here Is against the proposi-
tion--that Is. IL II is proposition. Base
ball men here believe that If the report
got about that there was spy on each
team there wo Id be a lot of Ill feeling
and the morale Of the players would be
injured.
AS one of the officials expressed nim-
elf, This spy system might accomplish
some little good. but 1t would be more
han discounted by the i'll effects. Every
manager knows Just what sort of men
he has under him. He knows their
abIts and their life after six O'Clock.
the clubs cannot keep their own play
ers straight then we have come to a
pretty bad state Of affairs. stool
pigeon is despicable-and we want none
Of that stripe in baseball" Right-o!
The feeling is general, however, that
during a worlds series the play yers should
observe strict training rules and should
be kept away from the crowd and hotel
obbies It is suggested that the teams
be quartered away from the city centres
and that the players be under the sur
veillance of their manager at all times.

Prepared to Act If the Bout
Is Abandoned.

LONDON, Jan. 19.-Charles B. Cochran,
the boxing promoter. in a statement
to-day regarding the reported abandon
ment of the fight said he had heard
nothing beyond the fact that the French
Government would not allow Carpen-
tiers money to leave France. although
Francois Descamps, his manager. had
made every effort to send his $50, 900 to
the United States. Cochran. william
A. Brady, who is Cochran's representa-
tive in the United States, and Tex
Richard. another OF the promoters Of
the championship bout, had each made
the necessary deposits with a trust
company, the statement declared.
Cochran added that IL the bout was
abandoned for any reason he was pre-
pared to give purse OF f100 900 for the
men to box In England In June.
Georges Carpenter declared to-day
there was nothing in the report from
New York that his match with Jack

An Interesting BIT.

A correspondent who signs himself
Perry Hanavan writes this interesting
bit ",rhe signing of Wallie Scharg by the
Yankees brings to my memory the fact
that many years ago the Yankees signed
a pitcher by the name OF Gruner, or
some similar name. The Athletics that
same year signed Schang. Schang was
offered to the Yanks In exchange Tor
Gruner, but New York declined the Of
fer. Gruner never pitched game for
any big league club and was bloomer
Had that exchange gone through there
Is little doubt that the Yanks would have
won a pennant in the interim"

baseman of the Bethlehem club of the

where DID Pirates Get Him

Peculiar doings in baseball these days
Some days ago Brooklyn announced that
it had sent Allen, a recruit first base
man, to Birmingham In a deal for Bert
Griffith, an outfielder. few days later
Brooklyn announced that it had released
Griffith to New Orleans. Yesterday came
the information from Pittsburg that the
Pirates had released Griffith to Brook
lyn. How come?
Two great football players have come
into the National League in the last Few
days. They are Jimmy De Hart, who
preceded Davies as the star back at
Pittsburg, and Frank Berryhill, captain
elect at Vanderbilt. De Hart, who Is
shortstop, has Joined the Pirates. while
Berryhill has signed with the Reds.
Rerryhill was with Charleston OF the
Delta League last year and was to go 10
Memphis in the spring, but Memphis
sold him to Cincinnati Must be good!
Nobody seems to know exactly what
is the status of Charley Herzog. Ii
isn't even certain that he has been re-
leased out OF the National League. The
report that he had signed with Roches-
te- was not correct. 1t appears that
-e Starings asked Herzog to invest
capital in the Rochester club and
that Charley had declined to throw
money which he had made in baseoall
right back into the game. Always wise'
