STILL
IN FIELD FOR
TITLE MATCH
Promoter Cochran Wires Rick
ard He Has Not Dropped
His Part of Plans.
By JACK VEIOCK,
International News Sports Editor.

International News Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Charles B. Coch-
ran, British promoter. still has hopes Of
landing the Dempsey Carpenter fight for
London.
This became evident today when Dan
McKetrick, eastern representative OF
Dempsey and Jack Kearns, announced re-
ceipt Of a cablegram from Cochran deny
ing he has Withdrawn from the promo
ton Of the big scrap.
With Cochran still very much inter-
ested in the match, uncertainties con-
nected with the selection of a site were
thicker today than ever before. 4
Jack Kearns does not favor Montreal
The manager of the worlds champion
does not believe the bout would pay in
Canada. Incidentally. he is very dubious
where in the States where SIS is the limit
for seats. With Kearns in this frame OF
mind, it appears that London still stands
a very good chance Of landing the hst1c
plum.
The champions manager has keen eye
for business and It is possible that ne
may decide to take Dempsey abroad
within q month with two ideas IN view
10 clean up" on an exhibition tour ana
get the champion acclimated in case the
promoters decide on London.
the promotion of the big fight were In
order today. Tex Richard will stick
with Cochran If the British promoter
wants it that way. He would prefer to
promote the scrap on his own hook, how
ever, and may make an effort to buy
Cochran off, providing William A: Brady
stays put, which is on the outside"

MR.. B. RUTH A-HUNTING GOES

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Mr Babe Ruth,
the famous basketball player marched
maJestically through the Pennsylvania
station, one afternoon recently, with a
shotgun on his shoulder.
Behind him plowed q variegated array
OF citizenry, eager to have a peek at Mr.
Ruth, the celebrated horse player, and
to favor him in every manner possible.
the shoulder Of Mr.. Ruth, the far famed
picture actor, but was easily resisted,
Several pOrters struggled in the wake Of
the thrOng, bearing the baggage Of Hon.
Ruth, the well-known moving picture
actor
1t was an impressive scene in every
respect. Mr.. Ruth, the distinguished
nimrod, was going hunting; He was
headed for the thriving little depot, and
two (2) general stores at Thalmann, Ga.
From Thalmann he was to be transported
to Dover Hall, the picturesque estate at
Rivers, where baseball generally goes
hunting.
BABE DUE TO
MEET ROUGH ANIMALS.
Dover Hall is sixteen miles from the
city Of Brunswick, Ga. The estate con-
slsts of 5000 acres Of piny woods, where
in roam the deer. to say nothing of the
saw toothed wood tick.
The train bearing Mr.. Ruth, the re-
nowned home-runner, paused at Balti-
more after leaving here long enough to
load on Carl Mays. Harry Busick and
other persons.
At that time Mr. Ruth, the splendid
first baseman, had a high power rife.
He had heard he was going hunting,
and 1t being the Idea Of Mr.. Ruth, the
hustling center fielder, to do everything
he does thoroughly, he had purchased
the most destructive weapon he could
think of-next to his bat
If you fired a high power rife on
the premises of Dover Hall you would
probably hit eighteen or nineteen hot
blooded southerners over in the next
county. They use shotguns down there.
and any man is dangerous enough with
a shotgun, to say nothing Of Mr.. Ruth,
the wonderful left fielder.

Mr.. Barrow gently but firmly re-
moved the rifle from the paws Of Mr.
Ruth, the marvellous eater, and substi-
tuted the shotgun, That is why Mr.
Ruth fought off the friendly advances
Of the gent who wanted to carry his
shotgun through the station. He was
afraid they might give him bow and
arrow.
A stranger in the station was st-
tracted by the gathering throng and
sought information.

thisY'

Babe Ruins goin' hunting You know

BUTLER PUTS
FRANKLIN DOWN

The Butler College basket ball five
triumphed over Franklin. 80 to %. here
last night in an l. c. A. L. game The
contest was slow and lstless throughout
and void Of features The exhibition put
up by Butler was one Of the poorest Of
the season for the Pagemen, and It was
only IN the closing minutes Of play that
they pulled away For q comfortable mar
gin.
Butler grabbed the lead right at the
start and was never headed. although on
several occasions the Thurberites drew
up to within two or three points of the
Christians. Hooker and Leslie starred
for Butler with five field goals each. while
Grahams work for Franklin made the
visitors dangerous at all times. Graham
snagged for baskets from the field and
his work from the foul line was particu-
larly noteworthy.

The Stevens brothers and Middles-
worth are former Shortridge High School
stars, Rice and Secrest learned the finer
points of the game in four years OF ac-
ton under the Manual banner, while
Underwood was rated as one of the best
pivot men in the State high school ranks
while playing with Bedford two years
ago. George GrunG is the only member
of the team who doesn't hail from some
high school, but he lacks none OF the
class Of his teammates.
The Turner'S meet the oyGloom club
OF Broad Ripple on the Turner floor to-
night and-a hot scrap is expected. The
joy GloOms won the championship of the
Valley Mills amateur sectional Saturday
and are ready to check the rush of the
