CITY LEAGUE TO
 HOLD MEETING
Managers To Take Up Important Business
 Thursday Night

A meeting of the managers of the City league has been called for Thurs day night at 8 o'clock in the council chamber at the city hall. At this meeting a large bulk of routine busi- ness which must be handled at the stage of the pennant race and several other important matters will be taken up.
 There has accumulated from time to time quite a bit of minor business which it is customary to settle along about mid-season and this will occupy much time at the coming meeting. Such matters as protested games and con- tested players which arise from time to time will also be handled.
 The meeting will likely be one of the most important of the year and President James F. Harrison intimated that several matters of considerable consequence to the league at large is on schedule for discussion.
 East Lake Protest Up
 It is likely that the matter of the East Lake protest of their game with Southern Bell will also be threshed out at this time. Manager R. H. Byrd, of the East Lake club, announced after the game that be would withdraw his organization but the fans of East Lake at a mass meeting voted to keep the club in the league.
 The East Lake fans have always been loyal supporters. of their team and this is another instance which demon. strates their interest in the league.
 Commenting on the possibility of a disruption of the league President liar rison stated Tuesday night that he con- sidered that there was no danger of a serious break. Storms have swept the league and it has survived them all and the preset problem will likely be settled in an amicable and agreeable manner to all concerned as such pre- vious questions have been handled.
 "An organization which cannot sur vive the minor internal differences which arise is not worthy of existing" said President Harrison, land I have no doubt but that the present matter can be settled in satisfactory manner and feel confident that there is no danger of a break

WILD BULL NOW VERY TAME ONE signor FirpO Dimes And Dances With Broad
 way Boys

NEW YORK, July 22-As civiliza- tion and afternoon tea parties have called to Georges Carpenter so have they struck a resonant chord in the system of Signor Luis Firpo
 The erstwhile Wild Bull says he has become the toast of the street and simultaneously the object of flirtatious glances from some of the city's prettiest maids Signor Luis accepts
 His acceptance marks him as one of the Broadway boys as he is now Quali- field as a first-class philanderer. Car mined smiles from Amerca's white light beauties have caused a thinning of the noble signor's boat romance in which Signorita Blanca Lourdes fig ured so prominently She is now bare outsider in a race with plenty of high strung competitors
 Has Forgotten
 Signor Firpo has even forgotten the little mix-up at Ellis Island, which came about because of the fair blond Signorita He is enamoured of the bril- liant New York
 It's a different Luis Firpo who dimes and dances Broadway's fairest In stead of the. plug, ugly, sullen faqzd, hairy brute who entered the ring with Jack Dempsey, there is now the excel lently groomed South American gentle man
 Enough English to assure people he is real gains Luis entree to the supper clubs. A well draped suit which shows how prominently he is built takes the place of that funny creation of year ago. A soft silk collar takes the place of the fire trap eelluloid affair he wore on his last visit.
 Nonchalant
 Omus Signor Luis has retuTned, con fident and nonchalant. He has abso- lutely forgotten all South American connections including the reported one with Signorita Lourdes, as he whisks from tea and back to dinner dance.
 Signor Firpo had conference Tues day with Tex Rickard.
 'No training camp near salt water" Luis blamed salt water for the rheu- matism which caused Jack Dempsey to pound him to the floor. So he plans to train. either at Madame Beys camp at Summit, N. J., or White Sulphur Springs, N. Y.
 Also Firpo agreed to let anyone else

NEW YORK, July 22.-"Oh, dearie, it was so thrilling. and the countess was so lovely to all of us"
 That's what Georges Carpenter and his horde of female admirers threaten to do for the manly art of busting jaws. This became known when Jimmy Johnston, manager of the fight Thurs day night between CarpentieF and Gene Tunney, said:
 Countess Goldadski will be the hos tess for the Carpentier-Tunney fight"
 This came just as the fans were get ting accustomed to the fighters attend ing tea parties.
 But blame it on the gorgeous Georges and not, the woman. Johnston explains his hiring of hostess by saying that Carpenter has become such a great favorite with the women that many have purchased ring side seats, and Jimmy wants to take care of the women fans.
