Carpenter Has
Worked Hard for
Bout Friday Night

New York, May 19.-(P)-A pictur-
esque figure in puguism for almost
two decades, Georges Carpenter of
France today shadow-boxed through
the last workout of a long training
grind which he hopes Gill put him
back on the light heavyweight throne.
Although the popular orchid man
has seen only 32 summers fit past, his
appearance in the Madison Garden ring
Friday night for 10-round bout with
Eddie Huffman of California will mark
the opening of his 10th season as
boxer. His long ring campaign has
left few marks on one of the finest
physiques of pugilism-Carpentier
still is considered one of the handsom-
est men in the game and pugilist
whose prestige has been shaken only
slightly by his knockouts at the hands
of Battling Sikh, Gene Tunney and
Jack Dempsey.
Carpenter looks upon his fight with
the rugged Huffman as stepping
stone to the throne from which he was
tossed by Sikh four years ago. Boxing
men consider Tex Richards coup IN
signing Young Stribling to box his
first match after the Paul Berlenbach
title fight on June 10 a link in the
chain which Carpenter must complete
bv a comeback to wing back his lau-
rels.
If stribling succeeds in dethroning
Berlenbach, a triumph by Carpenter
over Huffman will set the stage for
championship fight between the Geor-
sian and the Frenchman, in the belief
of close followers of the game.

Chicago Produce Market.

chicago, May 19.-(R.
pronounced weakness in the market
Tor new crop deliveries of wheat de-
veloped today toward the last. OPP
timistic advices in regard to the APP
preaching harvest Of domestic winter
wheat southwest were largely respon-
slble, May wheat. however. held firm.
Closing quotations on wheat were ir-
regular varying from one cent decline
to II cent gain. with corn to 4 off,
oats to &c down, and provisions I'M
changed to II cents up.
One OF the factors which tended to
bring about setback in the value of
July delivery of wheat was an esti-
mate from an authority at Kansas City
that the Oklahoma wheat crop this
season according to present prospects
woald show yield of S2,000,000 BUSH
els compared with 2S.000,000 bushels
last year and 100000 bushels two
years ago. Slowness of export demand
at the seaboard counted also as q bear
ish influence, and so. likewise, did
word that Kansas City had sold wheat
to come to Chicago and that wheat
cargo is on the way here from Duluth.
Increased selling pressure on the
July delivery of wheat disclosed near
the end of the day that the market as
whole was without any aggressive
support, although it was also apparent
that holders of May wheat showed
little disposition to let go. Stubborn
ness OF May owners was emphasized
in some degree by 9,2O4, 900 bushels
decrease of the world stock of wheat
this week as well as by assertions that
relatively little wheat is available at
Kansas City for May delivery there or
here. Dry weather complaints from
the Dakotas meanwhile have q good
deal to do with strength which at first
characterized the wheat market today.
Corn and oats gave way with wheat.
Both the feed grains sold within a
fraction of the lowest figures on the
crop. Moisture where needed gave
some advantage to the selling side
Highest quotations this season in
the hog market put f1rmness into pro-
visions.

WATERV|LLE HIGH
TRIMS OLD TIMERS
IN Benefit GAME
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

Waterville, May 19-The Water
vile High school baseball team had a
margin Of one run over the Old Tim
ers after nine innings of hectic ball in
the Old Timers game on Seaverns
Field this afternoon, the final score
being Is to IA. The Old I Timers
game was for the benefit of the Wat
erville High school athletic field fund
and the large attendance resulted in
tidy sum being netted. The fact
that in the lineup of the team were
playeds Of by-gone years from towns
in different parts Of the state brought
fans from considerable distances
while many of the business establish
ments of Waterville were closed for
the afternoon so that their employees
could attend the contest.
1t was a game of heavy clouting and
although the 16 hits garnered by the
Old Timers were two more than the
Ia of the high school lads they came
out on the short end of the score. In
the first inning the younger genera
ton opened whitening attack and,
helped by errors of the opposition,
ran up lead of six runs. But chang
es in the pitching were frequent and
in the later innings of the game the
more youthful Old Timers were in
jected into the game with the result
that the losers staged a comeback.
In the ninth inning the score stood
at IA to IA tie and the climax was
reached when Wallie Donovan, the
high school catcher and son of Bill
Donovan of the Old Timers, hit the
ball for homer. There were none on
bases at the times.
The game showed beyond the pos
sibility of doubt that the passing of
the years will not rob a man OF the
baseball prowess he once had and the
playing of the older Old Timers
Messrs. Larrabee, Hoxie. Dilworth,
Squanto Wilson and others was in it.

Mr.. Larabee was the star of the los

In tennis is exceedingly valuable and
Bates, Maine and Colby are repre-
scented for the most part by green

against intercollegiate opposition this
season while the other three colleges
nave had several matches. Colby has
made trip through Massachusetts

Maine fell almost completely before
the Colby men while Bates took them
by the narrowest possible margin.
Bates also has win over Maine to
her credit. From a point Of compe-

but undoubtedly Bowdoin's exper-
