ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 1I.-All of
5he senatorial candidates are getting
9usy with statements to the newspa-
pers. Governor Hardwick fired a
0roadside in the afternoon papers

inc asking them why they were not

Judge George with supporting Mitch
il Palmer and Hugh Dorsey.
Judge George is out with state
ment denying that he made any
promises to Gus Howard or that Cliff
Walker did, and said the charge was
put out by IIardwick to embarrass
lim.
Seaborn Wright, in Il statement,
claims that insiduous forces are en-
leavoring TO switch the prohibition
vote from him and charges some OF
the prohibitionists with going into

Of prayer, but really TO commune

he is running strong.
The betting in the Kimball House
is even money that HnEwfeA will

far. The George supporters 'ale very
confdnt of leading in the first pri-
mary, while the friends OF Wright
point out that he Will get more Wat
son votes than any ether candidate
and will be among the first Two.
Atlanta is swarming and seething
with politics regarding the senatorial
situation.
The proposition has been made
that the various counties Of the state
borrow sufficient money with which
to pay all the expenses Of the pri-
mary next week and the week follow
ing, if one is needed. Governor Hard
wick joins with The Atlanta Con
stitution in the suggestion that the
aeXt Legislature appropriate money
to reimburse the counties and to pay
for all primary elections in the fu-
ture.. He Is willing to join Walker,
governor-elect, and the chairmen o.
the new state committee in urging
that plan upon the legislature.
1t is said that the counties have
the legal authority necessary to bor-
row the money for the purpose of
lolding the elections.

Old Sport s Say-So

Jack Dempseys trip to Europe 10 fight Georges Carpenter is not likely to materiaize. Although there is no white opponent in sight for Dempsey in this country just now he can do far better by re- maining here than going abroad.
 Despite the talk of Dempsey Carpenter match in England, there is no demand for such an affair. At the present time boxing in England is undergoing a reform spell. A strong movement is under way to reduce the size of the purses A fight is on to eliminate guaranties to the boxers, for they take such matters more serious ly in England than they do here.
 Already Joe Beckett, the most avaricious Of tine English boxers, has seen the light. Joey has signed to meet George Cook on March 27. and in deference to public demand he has cut out the guaranty and consented to work on a percentage basis for the first time since he won the title.
 English sport writers found it difi- cult to believe that Dempsey and Car pentier had been guaranteed $500, 900. Right up to the day of the fight they insisted that the big purse was just a lot of American ballyhoo. and it was not until the cable told of the gather ing of the tremendous crowd that they believed that so much money actually was at stake.
 Just now there is general rejoicing in England over the fact that what they term the "crazy season" is over and that in the future the fighters
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-02-24

must be satisfied with a percentage of the receipts. If Dempsey and Car pentier tried to squeeze a big guaran- ty out of an English promoter a pro- test would go up that could be heard across the Atlantic.
 Aside from the difficulty over the purse there are other reasons why a Dempsey-Carpentier bout is not likely 10 take place. Carpenter lost a great deal of prestige in his recent affair with Cook. Although the trenchman won with a knockout in Tour rounds he was much nearer de- feat than the cable told. He showed that he could not stand body punish- ment and that he had lost much of his speed of hand and foot.
 As for the English heavyweisbts It Is doubtful whether any of them could be dragged into the ring with Dempsey even for a big losers end. If the champion was to be matched with Beckett or Wells or Goddard there would be general outcry against the affair. for English boxing followers nave ceased to hold de- lusions in regard to the ability of their big men.
 It is a fact that English fans often become greatly excited over matches that American fans would not give more than a passing thought to- It Is so seldom that they see a real fighter on the other side their standard is great deal lower than over here. But the English fan will not fall for 8 bunk match when he knows it Is the bunk as his American cousin does

BIG LEAGUE MOGULS C. Mack, An-Enduring Star
By NORMAN E. BROWN

Ey NORMAN E. BROWN Cornelius MsGillicuddy is rounding up fas heterogeneous mass of baseball players for his twenty-eighth season as 6, big league pilot. The baseball world knows him better as Connie Mack.
 Comics Athletics fell from fame six years ago, but the long manager gure of baseball.
 On September 3, 1894, Connie be- came manager of the Pittsburgh Pi- rateS-hiS first managerial appoint ment. He succeeded Al Buckle nb erger According to the dope at hand the Pi- rates honorsed Connie by defeating the Washington club 22 to l. Connie piloted the team three years and then became manager of the Milwaukee club in what was then the Western league. When the Athletics joined the American league five years later Con- nie became manager of that club. And he has handled the reins Of that club ever since.
 |. In that time he has won six league pennants and three world flags. His club, which he voluntarily shaN erred after it's overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Braves in 1914. was with out a doubt the most formidable team in the games histor It ruled so su- preme for years that the club owners found themselves in the unique posi- ton of losing money with a winning team. The fans became tired of see- ing the White Elephants walk all over the league
 This team won everything in sight from 1910 to 1914 with the exception of the 1912 worlds series.
 Connie was the first big league man a ger to enter the college and scho1ac- tic world directly in search for mat erial. For a time he was the butt of
