T RENCH CHAMP
HASFORTY
K. O'S
Edouard Mascart Is But TWen-
ty-two, and Has Fought
Eighty Bouts

Edouafd Ms scarf. European
featherweight chmapion, who will
box Micky Travers in the ten
round main attraction to be pre-
sented by the National Capital
Sporting Club at the Washington
Auditorium next TueSday, May 10,
is only twenty-five yeras old. He
has only been in the game four
years but has eighty fights to his
credit. Forty of these he won by
K. O.
Mascart's last European battle
was with Danny Frush whom he
knocked out in two rounds. Mas
cart has met the best Europe has
produced, also the best American
boxers who have sought laurels
on the other side of the pond since
the Frenchman has held the Euro
pean championship.
Travers, who will oppose Mascart
in the battle here, is also noted
for his willingness to mix and both
give and take. According to Frank
Dane. Kid Kaplan, now generally
recognized as the featherweight
champion, refused $4,000 to box
Travers to a decision over a fiji
teen round route at Waterbury,
Conn, next July.
Travers, will therefore, try and
knock out Mascart here in order
to compel Kaplan to box him for
the featherweight title.
Fight fans can take my word
for it that this will be a bout well
worth seeing" says Dane. II have
not failed to give club members a
good interesting card at the Audi
torium yet, and while the ability
Of these two men is not very we'll
known to local fans, in my opinion
this will be a more exciting match
than the Dundee Finnigan event. -
Local fans evidently like the
novelty Of seeing a real European
champion in action judging by the
rush for tickets and reservations
at the office of the National Capt.
tai Sporting club.

HARVARD PITCHER SEEKS
FORTY-SECOND VICTORY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May 12.--
Captain Owen Carroll, star pitcher
Of the Holy Cross team, will try
to win his forty-second game when
he faces Harvard here tomorrow.
Ir the last four seasons Carroll has
won forty-one games and lost bu.
two. 1t is understood that the
Detroit Americans have first call on
his services after he graduates in
June. Several other big league
teams, including the Giants, have
made him tempting offers.

The first Of the Yankees said to-
be ticketed for immediate transfer
is Waite Hoyt. He is still in his
middle twenties and should be a
great right handler. He was but
isn't. A change of scene might
prove extremely beneficial to Hoyt
and probably he will get it.
Scott is another who has out.
lasted his welcome at the Yankee
line up after playing 1907 conse-
occasion to predict that he would
never sit on the bench"
The SOx, having been in need
of infielders since the 1919 scandal
waited Risberg, Weaver and
GandiI to the outer darkness Of
basebalPs forgotten, would be in
a position to give Scott moro
active work than he could find
with the New York club.
Sam Jones and Bob Shawkey also
come under the head Of trading
possibilities, although it is not
likely that the Sox will become
emotional about Shawkey. He seems
to be about at the end Of his
major league rope.
If the Yankees give pitchers, how
ever, they will want pitchers In re-
turn and the Sox can hardly be
said to reek with the breed. In
the matter of acceptable trading
material, they have Faber. Robert
son, ConnalIy, Blakenship, Leverette,
Davenport and Thurston, consti-
tuting their first string staff. There
is hardly one of them that Eddie
Collins would not relinquish on the
promise of Hoyt's future with his
club.
The Yankees may be willing to
pass Scott along without getting
his equivalent in infieId material,
but in that case they will want
something else, to wit: hard hit
ting outfielder.
They are in desperate need of
such a man with Ruth out of the
lineup for an indefinite period and
are said to be peering fixedly at
either Bib Falk or Johnny Mostil.
Repeated efforts apparently have
convinced them that they cannot
get Falk but Mostil is q bare possi-
bility.
If he is included in the deal, the
Yankees must part with an out
fielder. Their choice rest between
Whitley Witt, the best lead off man
in the league, or Ben Paschal. who
isv leading the junior circuit in hit
ting. Meusel would be very accept
able to the Sox, in spite of the fact
that he is not hitting the size of
his neck band. But Higgins would
as soon part with him as with his
managerial windpipe.

They're getting branded for
everything these days. One mo-
torist took his car to get the
fender vaccinated against fu-
ture catastrophe.
The accident insurance people
claimed the doctors are driving
them out of business and tho
undertakers registered a COM
plant against both.
Girls are taking this business
more seriously than men, In
fact they are taking it just
above the knee.
They figure if they have to
be vaccinated, it is nobody's
business anyway and ought to
be where it can't be seen.
It ought!
Still they continue to roll
their own, thereby upholding the
ancient rumor that there are
none so blind as those who re-
fuse to look.
The wing used to be a good
enough landscape on which any
doctor could carve his initials,
but the new laws on trade
marks and copyrights won't per-
nit that any longer.
Thank goodness, modesty is
still a virtue, and the women
at least have refused to go
through life with their physi-
clans address stenciled on the
fat part of their slender arms.
