faith. but he is making a big mistake in mixing sports with politics.
 Sports are bad enough without be- ing compared with some of our poll ties.
 'I have never met Sikl in my life, He was pointed out to me one eye- ming in a Montmartre barroonL but his condition was such that 1t con- yinced me there was no possible chance of him defeating Carpenter l would have refused to enter any agreement to let him stay four rounds, even had it been proposed to me"
 Deseamps said hc protested with greatest energy against these stupid accusations"
 "The ambition of Carpenter and myself for the close of our pugilistic lifc." he continued, twas to get this negro once more into the ring with Georges--to get a revenge match. It would have been suicidal policy on our part to work for his disqualifca- ton.
 Georges doesn't want any titles which he doesn't earn in tho ring; thus we intend leaving for America next March or April to challenge Harry Greb who Is much more quail fled than Siki to wear the title of champion.
 "Olr defense against these charges will be presented in the ring as well as in the courts. l hope the Amer ican and the world public will be sat isfied of our innocence. If Carpen- tier defeats Greb there will be no further question of our ever having asked second rate Ski to quit"

iH-O'- Wisp Of Boxing Is
 Billy McCarney, Sportsman

until the name of Luther McCarty is brought up. His spirits, no mat ter how hard the knocks are that he must take, are ever cheerful-until some one recalls that fight years ago when the wonderful warrior went to his death.
 McCarney loved McCarty-not sim ply because McCarty seemed destined to rise to the pinnacle of the fight ing world, but because of himself. McCarney and McCarty were buddies, pals-friends. They worked together toward that day when McCarty would be the king of fistic kings. And then came the fight in Calgary in 1915 with Arthur Pelkey.
 It looked like the softest sort ot battle in the world for McCarty, who, up to that time. had been an ir- resistible, unconquerable gladiator, reckoned by many as a far greater ringman than Jack Johnson. Yet, in the opening round of a battle which many reckoned McCarty would win with a few punches. Pelkey landed first, McCarty went down-and in a few minutes he was dead
 Killed at Blow
 The blow, which happened in a
  coroner's jury decided that the punch itself had not really caused death, but that a hemorrhage of the brain. from some previous injury, was the primary reason.
 The tragic end of McCarty broke the heart of Billy McCarney-and for a long time afterward he remained away from affairs fistic. But, in the end, his love for the sport conquered and once more he became It's will-o- wisp, roaming from one part of the nation to another, touching. it would seem, every spot of earth in Ameri- can territory.
 Nile centered his managerial efforts not so long ago upon Charlie Vein ert, wonderful boxer, but not much of a hitter. He had high hopes for Weinert but the man from Newark hasn't lived up to them And the chances are that soon again McCar- ney will take the trail that leads from one part of the continent to the other, in quest of the dream ideal the man who can and will become heavyweight champion of the world.

 The prize ring knows no man more picturesque, more eelorful or romantic than Billy McCarney.
 Philadelphia is his old home town, and his family there is regarded as part of tho aristicracy of the city. fn the earliest days, McCarney had serious thoughts of becoming Cath olic priest. But as he went along in his teens the study of law began to attract his thoughts, and he deter mined finally upon taking up studies that would launch him upon legal career.
 But Billy McCarney's love for ath- letcs, and for boxing in particular, sidetracked him. .
 Is a Sport Writer Now
 In the end he became sport writer in Philadelphia and it was the same McCarney who is still talked about in the Quaker City as one of the best writers, and one of the most original and forceful which the. game ever knew.
 McCarney fingered fairly long In his home town as writer. and then the nomadic tendencies within him ran riot. He quit his job, took over the management of fighter and be- gan to travel from one part of the country to the other. In all the years since then he has been the will-o = the wisp of pugilism. You'll see Me- Carney in New York today and week later he will be in California. You jaunt along to some small town in Michigan, and there is Billy Me Carney. You travel to Florida, ana it's Billy McCarney you'll meet In a hotel lobby or in a place where sporting men congregate.
 Has Travelled Much
 McCarney has travelled more than any man now identified with pugli- ism. He's been in every big town in America, and seemingly in every small one He is known in nearly every village and hamlet in America and wherever he is known they like and admire him.
 For McCarneys connection with the prize ring has failed to sour him. He's remained sweet and happy so- lucky, a wonderful narrater, fas- cinating individual If Mccarney has an enemy, it would take Sherlock Holmes to find him. His friends are numbered by the hundreds of thou sands.
 Good fortune hasn't followed Mc- Carney around through the years of his wanderings. The hope that some day he would find somewhere the wonder man of the prize ring always has buoyed him up and carried him along But McCarney never has ben able to get for himself but one man among the truly greats of the ring world. And then, just as he was pointing that youngster to the crest of the pugilistic world, the boy came to his death in one of the most ter rihle of ring tragedies.
 Loved Luther McCarty
 McCarneyys smile is ever present.

B. A. (. Fiue to
 Meet Baylor Here
 Wednesday Night

The Baylor university basketball. five is not one bit satisfied with the defeat administered to them in their recent game with tine B. A. C., and they are coming back to Bir- mingham for the sole purpose of vengeance. They will attempt to get this revenge on Wednesday night, and they are willing to bet that the Clubbers are going to have a much harder battle this game than they had on the last trip here.
 Bradshaw, the star of the Baylor five, was out of the game in the last battle with the Clubbers. and this greatly weakened Baylor, both on the defensive and offensive. According to those who have seen him in action, Bradshaw is one of the best basket ball men that has performed on southern five in long time. He is q brilliant goal shooter. a good guars and a fast man when 1t comes to getting over the floor and passing the ball around. The Texans are ex- pecting to beat the B. A. c. with Bradshaw in the lineup, and the Clubbers are going to have to show some speed 10 beat the visitors.
 Captain Hill. who is the other main, Sl4Y oA tue todylVi AlNt. IS otili SOillS good, and he should be able to give the Clubbers a stiff argument at guard. He is one of the best de- fensive men that the local five has ever had to contend with and his defensive ability, coupled with Brad shaw's all around ability. should keep the local boys travelling at a pretty fast clip.
 The Clubbers have won both of the games that they have played this season and in both tilts they havs looked unusually good and while a stiff battle is bound to be had from the Baylor five, it looks like Ervin's men should repeat the dose admins tered to the Texas gang in the las. game. In the A. & NJ. fracas the local boys still showed some of the fault, ,hat always go with team at the first of the season, but they also showed much improvement over their performance of the first game, and they ahe looking better every day.
 It looks like Gillie Chisholm and Stapleton are going to be fixtures at forward for the remainder of the season, as both of them have showed worlds of ability. in the games ia which they have played. The work of Chisholm has been one of the big factors of the victories of the B. A. C. in both the Baylor and Aggie games. In the Baylor game he was good on short shots, but a little wea:S on the long ones, but in the A. sS NJ. game he was good on all of them. Stapleton was also good on bo-h long and short shots. and with these two on the team the E. A. C. is unusually well provided with forwards.
 The rest of the team also showed much improvement in Saturday nights fracas, and the outlook for winning team from the B. A. c. this year Is anything but gloomy.
