and the fans out theie still are talking about it. Net
since 100S has the St. I.oele club been in first place.
Yesterday the Brew ns stepped all eu-r the Athletics

Six home runs ve. made during th- afternoon, the Athletics regittcrln
11 bout four. Dec Johnsten at firt base had sixteen putouts nnd only one
fly kail was caught In the outfield. That was .u the eight!
inning, when Hank Severled lofted te Welsh.
In addition te all of this Mryan Harris graceful

Harris pitched a geed ball game, but h' rontie1
eemed te be tee geed. In six Innings he allowed but font

"threw a fast one right eer the pi. . Three tunes, the

By l-OflS II. .IAFFE
AXOTIIEU meeting between Carpen
tier and Dempsey is almost a cer
tainty. While the Anicrlcan fan prob
ably wouldn't go across the street te see
an encore between Geerge nnd Jack.
the Frenchman's quick knockout ever
Ted-Kid Lewis, In Londen, the ether
i night virtually warrants n return match
with the heavyweight and light heavy
weight champions ns the principals
either In Kugland or in France.
There may be a let of members of the
"l-told-you-se Club" around for the
, last two days, but there are few. wut
figured that Carpentier would be nble
1 te stew away Ted-KId in such jlg
I time, as it were. Geerges ruled n heavy
farite, nnd rightfull.x se. but any one
piedleling n one-round knockout could
net have been found Vlth a magnifying
glass.
Fan in this cote'ry, who watched
l Lewis In his Inst bm bouts here be
fore returning te F.wlnnd. knew that
1 the Kid was en the decline. But in Eng
I land he went through the welter, middle
and light heavyweight classes te im
'pressheh that British sportsmen
figured Ted hnd at least an outside
ichnnre te win from the Frenchman.
By his two-minute fifteen-second
knockout ever Lewis Carpentier's pres
tige has mounted skyhlgh. There isn't
.in one else In cither England or
France for Geerges te box, se that an
other Dempsey bout there appears te be
logical.
A Dempsey-Carpentler bout Is almost
a 'up- thing, ami it prebahly will be
staged some time during the Mimmer
of PJiS.
In the meantime Dempsey also may
get the opportunity te biush nsidp a
Maik cloud which has been hanging
I he.ivilj in his path. Harry Wills and
Jack will meet nt Montreal. Canada,
niTerding te Frank Flourney. of New
lYeik. although neither of the boxers
knows nn thing about the match.
I A cable fieni .lack Kenrtis is te the
I effect that he will net agree te any
, matches for Dempsey en this side of
.the ocean until after he leturns te
America. The puise te be offered the
champion by the Montreal promoters is
I te be in the amount of $300,000. ac
cording te Flourney, e that there
'should net be any financial hitch en
that score
1 Paddy Mulllns. Wills' manager, has
been saying right along that money
would be no object for a bout between
, his Negro challenger. All Harrv wants
is a crack nt the title.

HERE' It Is May 13 nnd the Athletics are still out of last place! This in

brains te the A's te a larger extent than one would imagine frenif glancing ever
the box scores. ...... -
Johnsten and Yeung are old-timers who still hove plenty of geed baseball
In their aging muscles and keen minds. In many a pinch their whispered
words of advice te pitchers have enabled youngsters te pull out of holes and their
indomitable spirit has led the Afl from the rear te the lead In several sessions
The guardians of the right side of the Infield nt Shibe Pnrk always hare
their heads en their shoulders .
The ether day.'lndlnns ric en first and second nnd none out. The bittr
rapped one en n line toward firr. Johnsten's mitt Interrupted the flight of th.
ball and he acted without hesitation, almost Instinctively.
Twe strides enabled his feet te find first ibnse for a double play. Hc whirled
and lfw rwll went sailing for second, but it arrived n trifle tee late le complete
a Irlple killing.
In the same geme, Yeung was en second and none out. Tilly Walker fanned
and O'Nell dropped the third strike. Tilly darted for first and ns O'N'eU'i
right arm shot back te make the threw, Ydung was off for third, lie m$t )t
easily nnd thus was In a position te score en a sacrifice fly.
Such thoughtful baseball wins ball games.
THE Increased lntervt In tennis among the colleges lias been apparent
thLs spring. One Important development in this section is the
Middle States Intercollegiate) championship, the flnals of which are in
progress new at the University of Richmond. Tills is the first time
championships have been staged in this section.
Wlllard Again Ten Busy te Enter Ring
JESS WILIjARLV once again has hopped out u! what may have led te another
'jeut with Jack Dempsey.
Just who wants te see a return match between these mountains of flesh
cannot be determined, but promoters insist en talking about it.
Seme time age It looked as If another contest was certain nnd when the
papers were ready for the Ink, oil started te leak through the gras en WillariTi
ranch and the ring was forgotten.
The recent talk of promoters emanating from New Yerk was te the effect
that Wlllard was willing and his purse was weak. Dempsey also was said te
be net frowning en the bout.
It was reported that the oil did net flew se freely and that Jess was looking
te the ring for his "three squares."
New the former champion comes out vWth n story that his business Is tee
pressing te enable him te train.
Let Willard stick te his business which isn't ibffldng.
"TIRED LX'DERUS has been released as manager of the Teledo Club
-P of the American Association. Leeks as if Fred's baseball days
are drawing te an end rapidly.

The English Viewpoint en Spert
HEN the University of Pennsylvania: relay runners were in England the
possibility of an Oxford-Cambridge crew coming te this country was dti.
cussed informally.
Since that time, the chances of the English oarsmen visiting the United
States have brightened considerably. The trip has 'been talked of abroad and
it is said ibnt tentative plans have been arranged.
The usual obstacle of funds, or rather the absence thereof, Is confronting
the English collegians, but this is net the only argumentative point.
Seme of the Englishmen contend thnt the time and expenses necessary for
training purposes are tee much for the prize nt stake, although the reward mij
be an American national championship. This is the viewpoint of the Briten
in many sports.
The thought differs from the American angle. In this country we consider
first the prize nnd then the time nnd expenses.
United States rowing officials should concentrate en getting the Englishmen
te come here. It would be a great boost for rowing in this city and everywhere
if the Oxford-Cambridge ears would dip In the Schuylkill during the nations!,
DURING the tralni-ig season at Leesburg, Fla., Jimmy Ring hit
a home run. That blew lias lasted the former Cincinnati hurler
a long time. He has- 't had a hit in seventeen chances this season.
But what cares he? His pitching record Is four victories and one
defeat te date.

Penn Charter once mere reigns su

League. The Quakers copped the 1022
crown yesterday afternoon by beating
Camden High en the courts of the Mer
chnntvllle Country Club. The score
was it te u.
The win gave Tenn Charter its eighth
championship In the last eleven years.
It also brought back the cup for the
first time since 1D10.
In 1020 both Penn Charter and West
Philadelphia had crack teams. They
beat everything In sight before they met
as opponents. When mcy tun renn
Charter emerged lctorIeus, iJ te i.
When the scholastic fans of this city
learned thnt Penn Charter had benten
the Bpcedbeys they thought the victory
gave the Quakers the championship.
But such was net the case. The title
was decided en individual scores, as is
the case new, and the West Phlladel
phlans had wen the most individual
matches. This gave them the cham
pionship. This year, tee, both schools had great
teams. And they beat all opponents
before thev met en the same court. This
time West Phllnde"ihla was victorious,
3 te 2.
YpderdayH matches decided the
championship. Had the Quakers dropped
a single Individual match the West
Philadelphia tenm would have entered
into a tle for the title.
Dr. Clinten A. Streng, president of

f the Penn Charter team, deaerves
much credit for the championship. Since
