fers Defense of Transactions
to Minors.
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH.

OOlSklLLE, ky- Dec. g.
Il William H. Klepper, prssi-
dent of the Portland Club
of the Pacific Coast League, was
today barred from further partici-
patton in the affairs of organ
lied baseball in the most senss-
tional development Of the annual
meeting of the National Asso-
c1ation of Professional Baseball
Leagues. The action was taken
by the board of arbitration with
Mike Sexton presiding.
Keepers offense had to do with
alleged irregularities in connection
with the sale Of capital stock in the
Tacoma Club. of the Pacific Interna-
tional League.
He had already been placed on the
ineligible list until 1895 by Judge
lands for alleged connivance with
Bill kenworthy to have him re-
turned as manager OF the Portland
club after he had signed with Seat
tie in the same league.
The penalty this time is perma-
In his own defense, Klepper said
today that while he realized dis
crepancies had occurred in the bill
Of sale, filed with the national as
sociation. he disclaimed all knowl-
edge Of allowing wrong doing and
laid the blame for the mistakes on
the citizens of Tacoma.
The latter. he said, were to sub
scribe half of the stock, amount
ing to about $1,000 and Klepper
guaranteed the remainder. He did
not, however. he declared, know that
about $500 of the subscribed OBJ
legations OF Tacoma citizens had not
been produced with the bill of sales.
In this he vouched for the fact that
the stock had been protected in full.
This explanation, in essential de-
tails. corresponds with that given
by John Conway Toole. president of
the international Leegue. who prose-
cuted the case.
klepper was the second baseball
man TO be cast into the outer dark
ness within as many days. Dick
Cooley, the old National Leaguer,
being the other.
The meeting semiofficially closed
tonight with the annual BANQUET,
at which Judge Lands was the
principal speaker.
Business details Of comparatively
slight moment will be cleared up
tomorrow.
Two big veterans OF the big time
have been peddling their services
through the lobby but nothing has
come OF il TO date. They are Bobby
Wallace and Ed Konetchy, and both
have several offers under considera-
ton.
Just at the moment Wallace is
trying to do business with Bill
Killefer on the matter Of becoming
scout for the Cubs and Konetchy
is virtually signed with Omaha.

is DONE, SAY
PARIS SPORTS
Brief But Spectacular Career
of Sikh Brought to Close by
"Frame-Up" Story.
By FRANK E. MASON.

nARIS, Dec. The prize
ring career of Battling Sikh,
= French Senegalese negro,
who won the light heavyweight
title from Georges Carpenter,
only to lose it through a decision
of the French boxing commission,
is at an end, according to con-
victions of all sporting men in
Paris today. 1t was brief but
spectacular.
Since Sikh made the charge that
his fight with Carpenter was a
frame-up he has lost virtually all
his popularity. His friends say
that he has sought solace from the
flowing bowl with disastrous re-
suits.
= Sikh claims that the French Box
ing Federation is prejudiced against
him because Of his color. He called
at the colonial ministry asking its
support in his campaign against
the federation. but instead of get
ting comfort, he was advised to "go
back to Senegal, where he be-
longed. and give up the boxing
game"
M. Hellers, former manager of
Sikh, who. the negro claims, fixed"
the fight. left for Italy this after
noon with another OF his boxers
and with him he took several pro-
teges.
Is IMAGINATIVE BUNK.
Il don't know what has gotten
into SIKH" said Hellers. He told
me before witnesses that he is not
trying to get me- but Is trying to
knock out the boxing federation.
Skis story Of frame-up is imagi-
native bunk. You give kikt a few
drinks and tell him anything and
he will repeat it after you like a
parrot,
The truth about the fight is that
Sikh was so scared that he wanted
to lay down and throw up the sponge
at the end of the second round. I
had to bawl him out to put some
pep into him. He tried to quit
again at the end Of the sixth round
and IL Carpenter had not come
through into Skis corner to get
him, Sikh would not have got up out
of his chair. II Sikh had been able
to keep his championship honors he
had me to thank for winning them.
1 prodded him out Of his chair to get
him to continue the fight. He did
not believe in himself and was scared
to death.
UP TO FEDERATION.
IT am not worrying. / am leaving
for Italy later in the day with one Of
my fighters-Balzac. will leave
the whole question up to the fedora
ton. Neither Carpenter, Descamps
nor myself needed money bad enough
TO fake a fight. Furthermore, IL you
will recall the fight, you will remem-
Der that no one, not even Sikh him
self, thought the negro had a ghost
of a chance. There would not have
been any fixing necessary"
