CHIER WOULD
FIGHT JICK JOHNSON
French Boxer Confident He Will
Defeat Gunboat Smith at
London
Special to The Telegraph
Manito, France, July 18.-—"I hope
to beat Gunboat Smith. I believe
that I will do it. My intention Is to
meet Jack Johnson afterwards for
the title so envied—champion of the
world in all its categories."
This statement was made here yes
terday by George Carpentier, white
middleweight and heavyweight cham
pion of Europe, as he packed pre
paratory to going to London, where
he will fight Smith at the Olympia
on Thursday night for the white
heavyweight title.
The French boxer has been getting
In condition in his quiet, sleepy little
village, living in an old-fashioned
farmhouse and amidst surroundings
so far removed from the excitement
and gaiety of Paris that there can
be no comparison.
In sharp contrast with the solitude
and peaceful atmosphere of Carpen
tier's camp is the blare and noise and
confusion of sightseers and exhibi
tions at Jack Johnson's. Johnson
loves plenty of excitement and the
limelight, and he usually pitches his
camp at some spot as much like
Coney Island as possible.
"Has it ever struck you how odd it
is to know that you are going to box a
man you hq.ve never seen?" asked
Carpentier. "I have never seen Smith
and he has never seen me and we
shall not meet until to-morrow night.
I know Smith Is a clever boxer and a
string hitter, but I believe he will not
be able to touch me, because he is
less quick than I am. He has the
advantage of me in weight and reach,
but I am relying on science to over
come this.
"I am relying also to a great extent
upon instinct. Instinct is always
strong in a good fighting man. It is
marked in Jack Johnson, and I be
lieve that I have enough of it to help
me.
"From what I have been told I do
not believe that Smith is an in-fighter,
and I have always felt most at ease
before a fighter who keeps his oppo
nent at arm's length. I am going to
London to give the English people the
best that is in me, and I know that
Trance will never be ashamed of my
efforts."

WtDDELUND SIECK
PISS; PUNK STAYS
The Moving Finger Has Ceased to
Write AJbout the Athletics'
Great Battery
Every young ballplayer and every
young man as well, should ponder
deeply over the history of three men
who were stars-of the early American
League days, says the Baltimore News.
From the record of their lives, and
their manner of living, and their pres
ent condition, a lesson can be deducted
which ought to help every young dia
mond start In deciding how he will
spend his time off the ball field.
Of these three men the moving fin
ger has stopped writing about two of
them, for they have ceased to be, at
last in mortal habilimente. These
two, Rube Waddell and Ossie Schreck
engost, composed a battery the like of
which for mechanical skill has seldom
been equaled. The third man, who Is
still with us, to the great benefit of
the Athletics' 1914 pennant prospects,
is Edward Plank, the left-handed
pitcher.
Rube and Ossie were sports. They
looked at the lights when they were
white and at the wine when it was
red. Plank stayed at home or at the
hotel if the team was on the road.
Plank was, and Is, a man of simple
tastes, a man who In his life as a
farmer had come to know nature too
well and too intimately to try to per
vert or drug his faculties. And last
Wednesday he held Detroit, one of the
teams the Athletics will have to beat
to win this year's pennant, with three
| hits.
| Also on last Wednesday about noon,
[three hours and a half before Plank
I started pitching the above-mentioned
j game, Shreok, his equal in age, col
lapsed. Numerous diseases afflicted
him, among them uraemia. He was
beyond medical aid, "all in," as he
himself put it, when he regained con
sciousness for a short space late Wed
nesday night. Next morning he died
and went to join Waddell, who had
died one month before at San Antonio,
Texas, where he had gone, not on a
training trip, which is what usually
takes ballplayers there, but to get
ready to die of consumption. •
The Rube was so picturesque in his
grotesque escapades that Sehrecken
gost was relegated to a secondary po
sition in the folk-lore that gathered
about the names of the famous bat
tery. It was the Rube who went fish
ing, it was the Rube who called the
outfielders in the ninth, and it was also
the Rube who died first, one month
ahead of his satellite.
Schreck was a wonderful player in
the departments of catching and
throwing. He also knew baseball. The
amount of thinking he and the Rube
did in a pinch in the deciding game of
a crucial series was only surpassed by
the lack of thinking they did in all
other places except Columbia ball
park. And they have reaped the har
vest they sowed in the springtime of
their lives. v
Because Plank is still alive, and w'ill
probably be alive for a great many
years to come, barring accidents, it is
not customary to pay tribute to the
sort of life he led. But if example
counts for anything, then the example
of how to live cleanly, healthily and
at the same time athletically, which
Plank has given, will be something
that every young ballplayer should
observe. There may seem to be a lot
of fun to be had where the flowing
howl flows and that part of the welkin,
enclosed by the walls of the saloon!
rings, but when the days and months
mount into years, the account will all
be squared up.
TENNIS STARS ARRIVE
Special to The Telegraph
Sebright, N. J., July 15.—Rain pre
vented the tennis stars from compet
ing in the Davis cup test tournament
yesterday on the turf courts of the
Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
Club. The arrival of Maurice E. 11c-
Loughlin and Thomas C. Bundy from
California brought together all of the
players who have any chance of being
nominated for the defense of the in
ternational trophy. McLoughlin said
he was anxious to get into action on
turf once more as the flrst of the chal
lenge matches is only a month away.
HARTFORD WINS IN 23D
Special to The Telegraph
New Haven, Conn., July 15.—After
the greatest pitching duel ever seen in
the Eastern Association, Hartford
won from New Haven in the twenty
third inning, 2 to 1, yesterday after
noon. Geist, for Hartford, outpitched
Pensen who had a try-out with the
world's champion Athletics a few
years ago, but the latter was splendid
ly supported in the field at critical
times.
GERMANS TO SAIL
Special to The Telegraph
Berlin, July 16. Oscar Kreutzer
and Otto Froitzhelm, the German lawn
tennis players, will leave for the
Uniter States this week to represent
Germany in the preliminaries of the
tournament for the Dwlght F. Davis
international lawn tennis trophy.
Ormiston Turns in Best
Score in Golf Tourney
Special to The Telegraph
Pittsburgh, July 16.—George A.
Ormiston, of the Oakmont Country
Club, turned In the best score yester
day in the qualifying round of the
State amateur golf championship on
the Oakmont Country Club links, at
Hulton. Ormiston finished with 153,

and J. B. Brookston, of the Stanton
Heights Club, finished third and fourth.
Four players were tied for last place
in the rst 16, and D. C. Bakewell, of
the Allegheny Club, won the play
off.
Among the out-of-town players who
qualified for the championship divi
sion were H. W. Perrin, of the Merion
Cricket Club, Philadelphia; Dr. Simon
Carr and C. B. Burton, of the Hunt
ington Valley Country Club; L. H.
Canon, of Altoona, and Wirt Thomp

The damp course did not appear to
hamper the players seriously.

RAIN CAUSES TEIIB
TOURNAMENT DELAY
But Time Will Be Spent in Per
fecting Condition of the
Courts
While the week's rains are likely to
result in postponing the city tennis
tournament scheduled to start to-mor
row on the Beservoir Park courts,
until next week, the delay will give an
opportunity to put the courts into per
fect condition. They are at present a ;
bit worn, and in some places are
badly in need of scraping.
It is altogether probable that the
matches will be postponed, it was
learned this afternoon. It would be
possible, of course, If no more rain
i falls, to start play, but it is believed
that the postponement of the tourna
ment will be very much more satisfac
tory to the players. Play will probably
start next Monday.
The committee in charge of the
| tournament will meet this evening and
decide when to begin the matches. Ar
: rangements for the award of prizes
•i will also be completed. Silver loving
■ ] cups will be awarded winners in men's
i i singles, women's singles, men's dou
! j bles, women's doubles, and mixed dou
| bles. Merchandise prizes will be
■! given runners up in all these classes.

Murphy Confesses to
Murder of His Friend
Philadelphia, Pa., July 15.—Edgar
Murphy, arrested Monday afternoon
as a suspect In the murder of Herman
Fisher, of Taylor Station, N. J., last
night confessed that he had killed his
lifelong friend in a fit of insane rage
and jealousy.
Fisher was shot to death shortly be
fore midnight Saturday, while en route
home after he had left his sweetheart.
Miss Ida Wilhelm. of New Albany. His
body was found an hour later by his
brother, George Fisher, and the man
who has confessed to the killing.
I nhis confession Murphy said he
followed the young man and his
sweetheart from Riverside, watched
them as they parted at Miss Wilhelm's
home, then followed Fisher until he
reached a lonely spot in the woods,
where, without warning, he shot him
down.
YORK FANS WOULD SAVE STAND
Although Sheriff Licking has levied
upon the grandstand and all other be
longings on the grounds of the York
Athletic Association on behalf of H.
Kister Free, Eli Zinn and Alvin Reist,
the fans are hoping that somebody will
buy them in to save them. They feel
that once gone it may be some time
before others can be erected. A new
athletic association -has been formed
for the purpose of holding semi-pro
fessional games, and would ike to get
the gralndstand and accessories If a
backer can be found.
till IN FOREST CONSERVATION
More and more motorcycles are being
used In protecting the national forests
against fire. The Cisco. Cal., reserva
tion is the latest to supply Its rangers
with two-wheelers. A locomotive at
tached to two tank cars filed with
water, stands in constant readiness to
fight the fires. Whenever an incipient
blaze is discovered by the rangers, tiiev
speed on their motorcycles to the tank
cars and are usually able to get the
equipment back on the scene before
the fire has made much headway.
WIRING BALL PUTS
UP GATE RECEIPTS
Gossip That Local Stock Will Pay
Dividends May Have Some
Foundation
With Harrishurg playing top-notch
ball and heading the league, the fans
are giving the team such loyal sup
port that It begins to look as if gossip
among Tri-State financiers that Har
rishurg stock would pay dividends
this year has some foundation.
The attendance at the Island has
been large during the past few weeks.
On July 4 every seat was taken and
the field was crowded with spectators.
It used to be a pretty true saying that
the public will only back a winning
team. Connie Mack, the Athletics'
astute manager, evidently thought so
when the White Elephants first took
the field and carried oft the patronage
from the Phillies. And George Cockill
is doing his best to put a winning ar
ticle over and is succeeding. All of
which helps the gate receipts ma
terially.
According to baseball financiers,
there isn't anything like a winning
streak to draw the crowds. And the
locals have been reaping the benefit
of their latest exhibition of pulling
down straights. A dozen in a row looks
good to the fan and he wants to go
out to see the next victory. If this
keeps up the gossip will surely have
a good foundation and the local stock
holders will be financial gainers on
their venture.
