PRIMO O.STR|B
To BATTLE,
|SREPORT
BY LES CONKLN

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Primo
Carnera, the well-known man
mountain, who is scheduled to
plant his enormous dogs on the
shores of these United States to-
day, is returning at a psychology
cal moment.
They do say Willie Stribling,
scheduled to sign today for his
titular bout with Max Schmeling
under the joint auspices Of the
Milk Fund and Madison Square
Garden, will be asked by the Gar,
den to take on Primo three
months after the fight, if he
beats the German.
It is also said that the Georgia
heavyweight, under the terms of
the contract preferred him by the
Garden, must remain under the
wing of the organization for two
years if he wins the title, and
will receive only 1914 per cent
of the gate for his first fight as
champion, If ever.
Managers Confer
Late yesterday Bill Duffy,
Cameras American representa-
tive, conferred secretly with Paw
Stribling, representatives Of the
Milk Fund, and Joe Jacobs,
Schmeling's manager.
StribIing's failure to sign led
to reports that he had baked
at the Gardens terms, but the
consensus of opinion was that
Paw was merely playing poker
and would go through with the
fOrmality Of signing today.
With the recurrence of re-
ports that the New York Boxing
Commission will do another flip
flop by reinstating Camera here,
Pauline Uzcudun is on the scene
nursing the hope that the three
wise men of Gotham will grant
him a similar dispensation. Pau
limo is banned by the fistic
fathers at present for engaging
in q bout with Camera at Bar
celona.
Carnera Scored
The grinning go1d-tooth Basque
scowled when asked to explain
the Camera defeat.
"Carnera no good" he de-
clared. II beat him. but the
referee beat me.
"Carnera no hit-he Just
pOOsh."
The Basque illustrated his last
statement by tripping a news
paper man over a cuspidor.
Pauline revealed he had re-
ceived an offer from Mexico
City promoters to box Tom
Heeney there. The canny Basque
turned down the proposition, be-
lieving that the offer was okay,
but that getting paid off was
something else again. 1t seems
that George Godfrey was ten
dered a bale Of confederate cur
rency, or its equivalent, in re.
turn for his services for a bout
at the Mexican capital recently.
"Upsidedown" said that. II re-
instated, he hoped to box Tuffy
Griffiths in Chicago.

To BATTLE
FRENCH'S

, Washington's independent bas
ketball talent will parade its
wares before District enthusiasts
in an unusually attractive double
header at Silver Spring Armory
tonight.
At $50 o'clock Stewart Photog-
raphers, sensational young bas-
keters, now serving their second
term as unlimiteds, are to do bat
tie with Skinker Brothers cham
pion Eagles.
The opening feature. starting
at 7:3O o'clock, finds original
French-Howards opposing a picked
team of Washington Basketball
League stars.
NOrtherns- Marines
Tomorrow night two new
league entries are to inaugurate
their respective schedules at I'M
maculate Conception Hall when
Buck Grier's Northern A. c.
quintet locks up with Marine
Barracks. A fast preliminary is
to precede the main event.
In many respects tOnight's
Skinker-Stewart game should
provide the most noteworthy
competition yet witnessed on a
sectional floor this season.
Boosting excellent balance and
all around Smoothness, the Pho
tographerS are thoroughly ia.
miliar with the fast passing game
Of the champions and figure to
flash some class of their own
when the game gets under way.
Probably the most interesting
duel will be staged on the de-
fenSe. Joe Sweeney and Jack
Faber, keen-eyed Eagle forwards,
will be matched against Bill
Banta and Warren Swift, Stewart
guards, in this individual battle
and must be at their best to
register.
ChaIkley Shows
Banta and Swift, former Cen.
trail High School aces, are famed
for their close and aggressive
guarding and general floor play
and will be closely watched once
play is launched.
Eaton Chalkley, strapping Stew
art center, will be remembered
for his standout performance Of q
year ago when Howard A.
French'S jolted Skinker's in league
play. 1t was Chalkley who, with
30 seconds to go. punctured q
deadlock by sinking the foul shot
that netted victory.
Doc 'HeSSler and Shorty Har.
ris, Stewart forwards, lend con.
sistency and offensive power to
the Photographers and round
out a combination that has
rightly taken its place among
WaShingtOn'S elite.
Scarcely less interesting than
the big game itself is the lead-up
attraction. Reorganization Of the
French Howard team, which sec
onded the Eagles in Independent
League play a year ago, was com.
pleted today.
Ralph Bucca, Eddie Coli.
flower, Lefty Tripp, Mickey
Macdonald, Heinie GubiSch and
PepcO Barry are among those
who are to represent the French
five.
The All Stars are to boast such
performers as Earle MoSer, Lew

Bill Werber, Larry Boarner, Al

SAM WEST
By JOE HOLMAN

The acquisition of Harry Rice
from the New York Yankees at
something less than $4,000 as
sures the 1881 Washington club
Of a well-balanced outfield.
Clark Griffith, washington
prexy, expressed this belief to-
day.
If Sam Vests injured left arm
fails to round into shape at the
start of the 1881 campaign,
Harry will fit snugly into center
field. And If Harry's namesake,
Sammy, needs periodical rests
during the impending year his
namesake will be ready to per,
form.
Griff Pleased
Griffith is frankly enthused
with this latest purchase.
He said today:
"Rice is just the man we
need. He hits all kinds of
pitching equally well, is
polished fielder and has a good
arm.
IF West gets into a rut

After carefully diagnosing Sam

been instructed to report for
spring training at Biloxi with the
pitchers next month. There he
will be carried along carefully,
devoting most of the training

Prior to his purchase by the
Griffs. Rice had served alternately
with the st. Louis Browns, Detroit
Tigers and New York Yankees.
Fitting in with the Shawkeys last
year, he batted an even 800 in
100 games.
A year ago Washington's great
est shortcoming was its lack Of
effective pinch batsmen. The
acquisition of Dave Harris, how
ever, gave the Griffmen one of
the niftiest right-hand swinging
minute men in the business.
During the fag end CT last sea-

SYNOPSIS: Pierre Donovan hope to find Bruce, hunting a le gold vein at Mother Noun tain. Jimmie Harrigan, a chance dea-rt companion, has seen man answering his description with Colorado Bill, and gives Pierre directions for his long trek next morning. Unknown to Pierre, his estranged father, Rcy Donovan, has prom oted Bruce's mining venture. Though hoping to bring Bruce back to his deserted wife, Ann, Pierre tfombIes as the journey looms. While he loves Ann secretly, he denies the charge of intimacy that Bruce has left in a fare well letter. And now that off ecrs are seeking Bruce in con- nccticn with a murder that has already involved Ann's father, Pierre is afraid that the scan dalcus charge may be drawn cut unless Bruce first comes home to her.

Chapter 28 TRAILING A MOUNTAIN

Harrigan's last word to Pierre that morning when the boy set out alone from Dripping Spring was: Keep yer eyes on Mother Mountain. Head straight fer the little hollow between her breasts and yell never go amiss. And re- member to stick close to the trail if ye should have to come back alone. Veil be in no danger of strayin' into Skeleton Sinks av ye do as I'm tellin' ye."
 And the Irishman's heart had gone out to the boy when Pierre 7 tried to hide his fears with a bit of burlesque acting. That the boy could force himself to under take the adventure in spite of his terror won the old prospectoris ad- miration.
 Scarcely was Pierre beyon d shouting distance from his friend when loneliness so oppressed him that he almost turned back. But with grim determination he fixed his eyes on Mother Mountain and forced himself on. He dared not halt for an instant. An hour passed. Then he ventured to stop and look around
 Far away to the southwest he could see a column of dust-Jim- mic Harrigan and his burros! He watched until even that sign of another human being vanished With a cry he turned and drove himself on.
 The sun climbed up the empty sky. The heat grew more intense; the silence and the desolation more appalling.
 He went on.

ness which shut him in, listening, listening in the awful silence-feel- ing in every taut nerve the men, ace of that lonely land.
 The night was eternity.
 Pierre Donovan had no illusions about himself, nor was he given to that self-deception which so com monly marks small natures. His belief that he was born to be an actor was founded upon his moth- CTS convictions and Antonio La- tours judgment. He nodestly felt that he had, as he would have expressed it, something. But he was too intelligent and too well schooled by Old Tony not to know that the goal of his ambitious dreams was years away. He felt that for him to attain that goal was within the realm of the pos sible-that was all. In the mean time he was a soda jerk.
 He was aware that the good people of Orchard Hill laughed at him; that they refused to take him seriously; that his ambition to be great actor was the standing joke of the countryside; that he was held to be irresponsible, inn practical, worthless disciple of old Tony Latour's-all of which dis turbed him not in the least. He had not pretended to Jimmie Har- rigan that the desert did not frighten him. He made no attempt to deny his fears to himself. But there was a something within him which drove him on, in spite Of his fear. Perhaps Old Tony was right when he said that Pierre Donovan was a great soul.
 In the first gray light of the morning he went on.
 With the coming of the sun his spirit lifted. Mother Mountain had moved nearer during the night. He sang bits of comic songs He felt confident that he would find Black-water Tanks and Bruce.
 He went on.
 | Again doubts and fears beset him. What if Bruce and his com panion were not at Blackwater Tanks? What if they had perished of thirst and he should find their dead bodies? Dripping Spring seemed, now, an eternity away He looked back but could not even be sure of the direction As the man of the desert had said, there would be no Mother Mountain to guide him on his way back. The Skele- ton Peaks. too, were nearer and on his right lay the terrible Skeleton Sink. What if the wind should obliterate his trail? He carefully estimated the amount of water in his canteen and went on.
 At last the long slope of Mother Mountain lay before him and he knew he must be near the Tanks. Copyright, 1880, by D. Appleton
