One Runs Away From Wan OthcrlLcavcs Reluctantly
P; WOUIVD bo Interesting If Carpentlcr nnd Darcy wore hooked up for that ten
round bout. The Frorich champion Is a. member of the aviation corps and has
been decorated for bravery on aovernl occasions. Ito has taken part In hundreds
of battles In tho air, is the national hero and places his country abovo everything
else in tho world. It Is because of a desire to bo .of further asstetanco to Franco that
he listened to niekard's proposals. Ho Is not boxtrtg for. monoy. Instead, ho will
alvo hla aharo of tho purse, somo 2E,000, to tho war relief fund to holp tho widows
nnd. children In hla native land. Carpentler is a. true patriot, a man who noema
wllllns and anxious to lay down his life for his country. In dlroct contrast to
---tJiis, however1, take tho case of Carey. This pugilist has gained fame In Australia
anrt was a national figure, but lost much of his prcstlgo when he failod to hood tho
call to hla colors. He declined to carry n musket In tho Great War, and when the
authorities decided to force him to go ho slunk out of tho country under cover of
darkness and- hid In tho hold of a vessel bound for Ban Francisco, Carey and his
v managers evidently believe that boxing in America la more safe and profitable
anostly tho latter than risking one's llfo on the battlefield. Carpentlcr knows all
about Corey's desertion, and It would pot bo at all surprising if ho refused to meet
him in the ring,
Wtllard Is Not at All Anxious to Fight
CHAMPION WILtiAIlD does not eeem anxious to battlo with Carpentler. Ho
nan asked a fortune for his sorviees, knowing that nickard will not accept his
terms, Tox has announced that ''he will not bo bled fay Wlltard or any one else."
' Co the .match appears to bo off unless different arrangements are made, Thla
proposed bout has put a crimp In Jess's plana for the winter, as a. gang of nports
some place In the West had put vlp a MB, 000 purse for a match with Fred Fulton;
Wlllard wants to meet Fulton and ha had him In mind for more than a year. Ho
fcnowa that Fred would be easy, and easy marks are what tha champ is looking
for, Tom Jones has ndmUtod time nnd again that Fulton la the greatest fighter
in tho world and Is the logical eucoewor to Wlllard, but thoso who have seen tho
plasterer in action do not agree with the spendthrift manager, Tho chances nro
'that Fulton will be taken on, regardlesn of the outcome of tho Carpentlor match,
for it is too soft a proposition to overlook. It will be remembored that Fulton ran
cut of a match with Frank Moron in 8t Paul on December 32, stating na his
reason that he waa matched with Wlllard nnd did not caro to risk hurting his
kands. Fred needn't worry about hla hands. His Jaw Isn't very strong, cither.
Gaston Developed Two Stars for 1017
HAltOLD GASTON insists that Ford Eule and Brandt Wheeler, of the scrubs,
will clinch regular .backfleld positions at Venn next fall. Ehlo waa ineligible
thla year, while Wheeler did not report until the second week of November owing
'to Injuries received laat summer, Wheeler was on tho scrub team lesa than n,
week before he waa promoted to the varsity, and the only reason he was not given
n ch&nca In the West Virginia Wesleyan game waa that It would out a year off
his eligibility standing If he played even a minute with tho varsity this season.
A; it stands, Wheeler la eligible for three moro years of varsity football. He Is
the most graceful and natural football player I'etin has hod In years, barring
Xeiry. Qaaton insists that Eblo was the boat baok on Franklin Field throughout
the fall, nnd-tho varsity coaches agree with the scrub mentor,
May Bo More Opposition for Major Leagues
THAT a, third big league may bo organized out of the International League
and American Association will be decided at the annual meeting of tho
A. A. at Indianapolis today, Humors that another major league would take
tlio field thfa season havo been emanating from ' Chicago for somo time.
Ban Johnson, president of the American League, apparently is not opposed
to a third major circuit, as he haa made several suggestions In case of this
vent Baltimore, Newark, Buffalo and Toronto, of the International Leaguo,
and Toledo, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and ' Louisville, of the American Assooia
tfern, are the- cities mentioned In the proposed organization. Ban Johnson says
thla circuit would do much to revive Interest In the game In certain of those
titles.
Zlegler Helping Penn Prepare for Oregon
GVB. ZIEGLEK. former All-American guard, who assisted Andy Smith with the

last night, California played tho University of Oregon two game this fall nnd
Stieglir Picked Up quite a lot of valuable Information about Penn's opponents In

Oaatott vlth the scrub, They will teach the scrub team the Oregon plays and
a dally scrimmage will M held next week in order to prepare Penn for a powerful

ferwe ia not strong enough to stop Penn. If Oregon can hold the ball long
couth, it J aur? to trouble tho Ked and Blue, but If the Quakers et off to

Br SPICK HALL
If nor Steals In lost to the Camden team,
as reported yeiterday, and Jimmy Brown
Is going to be out of the line-up for a week,
the victory of the Jasper five last night over
Orevitock at Nonpareil Halt will almost
cinch the pennant for the Jewels, provided
their quintet Is able to remain Intact The
Jewels' game against the Oroya waa de
cidedly disappointing. It was expeetad that
the content would be one of the best of the
season, but It did not Drove to be so. In
aplto of the fact that the Kenitngtontans
won by tho narrow margin of two points,
Tho whole trouble with the contest last
night was that it was not optn enough.
There were seventeen fouls called on Jasper
nnd twenty-three on Oreystock, not a pro
hibitive number by any means, at the same
time play was slowed up enough to give
the guards a chance to gat In some of the
best work of the season. Oreyitoek out
scored the Jasper club from the field five
gonls to four. Of theso five' two-pointers
for the down-townri. Alio MoWllllams
scored thrco hlmielf besides doing brilliant
work on the defense. The onty other man
to nnnx more than a single banket was
Kerr, Jasper's young center, who shot a
pair.
The gamo was marred by the ejection
of Lou Bugarman, who was Rent to the
shower for brushing sgslnnt lleferee Kelley
too strenuously In the final period or play,
Jasper's DIr Lead
While a lead of one full gamo may not
seem to the baseball fan to be much of a
handicap for the club on the short end. It
Is a very severe one In a basketball race
where only twenty games are to, bo played
and where eleven have already been pulled
off, Jasper now has won nlno contests In
tho Eastern Leaeue and lout but two. Not
onco have tho Jewels been defeated In their
own cage, and unless they are weakened by
the loss of one or moro of their players they
will not lose a game nt Nonpareil Hall nnd
are not likely to drop many on foreign
floors.
The Jnsper manngemont has gotten to
gether a combination of excellent Indi
vidual players, who work together like n
well-oiled Delssel. Their team work has
been abovo reproach, and that Is the thing
that has carried them to the faro nnd kept
them there throughout the league race thus
far. Every1 man on the team has been Im
bued with tha Idea of winning, nnd for
tunately for tho rooters of North Philadel
phia, theso players realise that to win they
must play together. That Is tho whole
eccret In a nutshell, and Manager Kennedy
Is to bo congratulated on having on his club
flvo such dependable men ns'Sedran, Hough,
Kerr, Fox and Friedman.
Do Kcri Slowly Sinking
It has boon announced officially by the
moguls of the Knstcrn League that the Do
N'eri franchtae Is on the market Tho rea
son Is the poor showing the club has made
this season. Only one victory has been
credited to the Bouthwark five, and, In spite
of the fighting spirit shown by several mem
bers of tho team, they have not been ablo
to cope witn tho other clubs In the circuit
Recently Doc Newman was released to
tho Trenton club In a trade which involved
tho transfer of Qetislnner. Barlow and
Hargrnvos. This leaves tho Da Nerl team
with virtually nothing as to offensive
strength. Consequently something has to
be dono. The owners of tho Do Nerl club
are loath to give the team up, but they
feel that the field for gathering material
Is so small that they are justified In con
tinuing, particularly In vlow of the poor
showing of the five, this year and the poor
prospects.
The present owners of the De Nerl team
have had choree of the club since the be
ginning of the Eastern League, and are the
only men In the circuit who have stayed
with their original club. It is said that
business men of Trenton may buy the De
Nerl team and put it in Burlington, which
Is recognised aa a hot basketball center.
Thla evening the Trenton team will ap
pear nt Cooper Battalion Hall asulnst the
Oroystock five. Doo Newman will play
forward for the Potters with Curlette. This
will be Doc's first appearance In a Trenton
uniform since his release was obtained from
Da Nerl.
Manager Joe Bailey will have his regular
quintet on the floor, Sugarman and Fo
garty will be at forward. Jack Lawrence
will Jump center and Bay Cross end, Allle
MoWllllams will take caro of the guard
stations. "
if the Oroya can take tonight's game
they will be tied for third place with Read
ing with a percentage of MS.
Tonight's game will be called at 9 o'clock.

ware tho onty four to cross the home plate

Tha great run-maker it the four waa

108 precious tallies, against 113 for Ty
but, despite thtae figures, Q ran fly's work

Granny, however, had tills advantage!
He had Trie Spesher to bat hm home, and
Trls last season rarely fluted In the pinch.
When the bla moment was due, the Texan
was there with the punch. Granting this,
It Is more than a rare occasion for a ,240
hitter to score over 100 runs.
The paucity of the prealous tally can be
estimated when It Is figured that only
four men out of 300 or more can reach the
century mark In a season. And even 100
runs Is considerably less than an average
of one run to the game.
