now am as keen on trying for 1t as after my defeat of Beckett"
 Plans Return Bout
 Tho writer is reliably informed that Carpenter made this statement at a luncheon rendered the French boxer by the French ambassador to Great Britain, Count De Saint-A Laire, at which prominent English sporting writers were present. At this time Carpenter made known his plan for meeting Ted (Kid) Lewis, in March in London, this bout to be followed by second attempt to capture the worlds heavyweight title.
 Maj Arnold Wilson of London is interested in bringing the two fight CTS together. His idea is that the bout shall be held in a 20- foot ring with four ounce gloves. II is believed on the other side that Carpenters de feat was solely due to the fact that he was lured into ring too small and that he was forced to come to Demp- sey instead of using his skill and speed in keeping away until good chance came to land Dempsey with the famous right.
 Parisans are wild over the idea of another battle and would probably desert their country to see the two men fight in England. At the Troc- adero recently, where Carpenter and Jimmy Wilde appeared in an exhibi- ton bout in aid of wounded soldiers the Frenchman got a wild reception in which he was hailed as the coming champion of the world.
 British Propaganda
 British experts are sitting in or the propaganda stuff in good style "Crapentier.' says one, "nlways stands a chance of beating the bes, of them. even Dempsey, in a return meeting"
 Tt Is we'll known" says another British writer, "that most of the in jury which Dempsey administered {, the French boxer in the fight las July would not be possible under conditions suggested for the seont meeting. Carpenter would now boz under conditions which he under stands, as compared with those whicf obtain in most matches in America. How is that for bunk?
 Major Arnold V ilson, by the way went to France from London witl Carpenter and Descamps.
 Finally, here's another tip. It l. reported that Tex Rickard may hoI over to England in March for a siJ weeks period. Couple this with Jaci Kearns' statement that he will matci Dempsey with Carpenter in Europ, If Tex Rickard has a hand in th match Catch it?

Paris, February 4.--Following the example of the opera, which recently decreed the end of it's wartime toll erance for informal dress, a Mont martre night restaurant haso rdained that not only must it's gentlemen guests wear "open faced' suits, but that ladies must be in formal attire and adorned with either pearls or diamonds.
 All that glitters. however, is not carbon of purest ray serene, and the pedigree of some of the pearls is lower than the famous cultured" va riety of Nippon. The nearest that most of them ever got to an oyster was when the graceful necklace swung daintily over q dozen raw.
 Wear Beads
 The rule requiring the girls to wear their beads is not a bad one. however, from the point of view of the flabbergasted sightseer who thinks there ought to be limit somewhere to undress Frequently the pearly string constitutes the greater part of the costume above the tablecloth.

 Not Very Bright for Ruth

 If Ruth does not play, there will be game after game at which the ex asperated fan whose nerves have been rasped will howl his agony that Ruth is not playing. Should the team lose enough games to seriously menace it's position so that games would be less exciting to the ticket buying populace, it might develop a financial loss also. Such loss would be hard to estimate. It might run to between s15O,000 and s200,000.

Around at baseball Headquarters yesterday it was reported that the Atlanta club has stirred it's stumps and found some one willing to under take the task of framing a schedule. What Cracker moties are can only be guessed at, for Cholly Frank baseball allows nc publicity to it's schemes. A Nashville sport scribe had hardly finished reading accounts of Proxy Smiths plans before he was on his way to Vol headquarters to dig up a scandal or something. This chap is nightly perturbed over the Barons framing a schedule, and doesn't beat about the bush in saying so.
 On the Lookout
 The Vol scribe hints darllly at a "nigger in the woodpile," and states Vol moguls feel that something is going to happen to them, and feel that it is going to be unpleasant.
 The Vols were made the goats at the December meeting. the scribe complains, stating that the club will be required to join in with five other Southern Rs- socinti0n clubs In paying cents additional to Chattanooga and Mobile. The Vols are fearing even worse fates than this, Horn states.
 The Vols would like to know whats wrong with Mike Finn's proposed schedule, already drafted and sent out quietly to all Southern league clubs. and why should the Birmingham club pay Billy Vests expenses all the way to Pittsburg to have Dreyfus draft schedule? is the question asked by Vol moguis.
 Finn Fav0rs Vols
 If the Vols warning to Southern leaguers has been interpreted cor rectly by local readers. the Barons are now on the verge of executing the greatest coup in the history of the league.
 Perhaps the following facts con corning Finns proposed schedule can clear matters up a bit:
 It cut down the Vols touring 2,OOO miles. They journeyed 10,- 900 miles last year. The Finn card called for 5000.
 It gave the Vols 13 Sundays and II Saturdays.
 No road trip for the DOyles under the Finn schedule is longer than two weeks.
 "FOR GOOD OF LEAGUE,-
 SAYS BARONIAL PRExY
 Birmingham officials have no other idea than that of advancing the interest of the Southern league in having Barney Dreyfuss draft a schedule" asserted Proxy W. D. Smith, when he heard of the scare his plans have created in Nashville.
 Mike Finn drafts an excellent schedule. but even his work might be improved. It stands to reason that Barney Dreyfuss, who works out all National league schedules, should be able to fix up a cOrking good lineup for the SOutIbrn league.
 Billy West was sent to Pittsburg to help Dreyfuss in any way he could

 New York, February 4.-Within a few days George Herman Ruth. Babe" will wind up his stage career for the winter and begin to melt away some of his too irksome flesh under the hot sun of New Orleans. But unless Commissioner Landis les sens the burden of Ruth's punish ment the greatest home-run hitter since Adam played ant'ny- over with an apple, cannot play regular scheduled American league ball until May 20.
 His sins may not have been so black as those of some manager or player who will be permitted to be- gin the season as usual, but he de- fled the lighting openly. He was not provided with lightning rod and was hit somewhere in the neighbor- hood of the rear collar buttonhole. But his club is In for it, and ms league is in for it. Of course if Judge Landis relents-but the points the fans are beginning to conjure up are based on his failure to relent.
 No Home Run Record
 If Ruth is not allowed to play until May 20. there will be no home run record broken this season. Can a man be expected to make more than 59 home runs in 125 games, or about that number when he had the oppor- tunity to bat in 154 games the pre- vious year? Ruth will never have the heart to hit the ball out of the lot for the record he had in 1920 and 1921. There dies inspiration No. l.
 He may make a record of homo for tbrea i,, He would only have to bat 35 homers in 1922, but what will 35 home runs be compared to the chance he mignt have batted full 60 if he had hac all the season in which to play?

 Tears of salt for the fans and fol Ruth. For make no mistake. that young man lives on his home run diet He Is not puffed up about it, bu while he drinks his mornings coffee he looks longer than usual at the bo, score that may read Home runs Ruth g."

 New York, February 4 - Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter will fight return match for the heavy weight championship of the world in England before the year Is out.
 This prediction is not based upon definite announcement by parties inn mediately concerned in arranging the battle. In fact, every one Is keep ing cagey about the affair. None the less, a lot of wind has been blowing from England and France of late and it Is not difficult to follow the direc- ton in which the straws are flutter- ing. It is not too much to say that at the present time strong propaganda for Dempsey Carpenter battle is being spread broadcast in France and England.
 Syndicate of sportsmen
 An announcement of one tangible facts may be made at this time. A syndicate of English sportsmen has been organized, the members of which have pledged themselves to contribute a S150.000 purse. They have already prepared plans for the building of stadium at Newcastle with capacity of 100000 spectators. While Jack Kearns, Dempsey's man ager, has nothing to say about this, and does not admit he knows any thing about it, one may safely wager that he knows a lot about it.
 A tangible fact is a statement from Carpenter himself, an authentic statement and the only authentic statement from him that has come to this country since he left here last summer.
 T did not suspect" he said, after my experience in Jersey City last July that l would persist in my quest for the biggest prize to be won. but
