New Y Feb. 25.—Sign witulation by the Yankee stars were discerned yesterday when Walter Pipp. the first baseman, sent his sign- ed contract from his home in Grand Rapids and Duffy Lewis, the slugging outfielder obtained in the deal with the Red Sox, was brought into line b ob Connery, the Yankee scout, who met Lewis in Fresno, Cal. | Connery was sent to California by Miller Huggins to complete the | *Quinn deal with the Vernon club and to sign Lewis. The former Red Sox | star had been quoted as demanding some of the purchase money Harry Frazee received for his release beforo he would come to New York i Connery evidently was successful in appeasing Lewis, as he wired to the club yesterday: “Lewis has accepted terms: will sign contract as soon as new one reaches him. Everything satisfactory.” Harry Sparrow, business manager of the Yankees, explained that the | club has sent Lewis' contract to the Mare Island navy yard, where he was | serving as a petty officer in the nav: unti] his discharge from service a | few weeks ago. The contract, it seems, never was forwarded to him. | Pipp returned to his home in Grand | { Rapids after his discharge from the Naval Aviation service.

Roston, Feb. 25.—Fd Barrow, man- ager of the Red Sox. announced ves- | terday that he would use Babe Ruth in only one position next season, and that the Red Sox star would not be shifted around from the pitcher's box to t base and the outfield, as he last year. when war exigencies required the playing of Ruth in po- ncedted to be bolstered which up “T intend to pick one position for h, and will keep him there id oW, T ve not. vet decided hadt I | whether 1 will continue to make use of his remarkable ability as pitcher or to play him in the outficld. where 1y at batting skill will be a da asset to the club. But T will u Ruth either as a pitcher or an out- flelder, as T do not think he can do himself full justice if on his off days he plays the outtield.” It is ally supposed here that if the other Red Sox come up to ex- poctations Ruth will bo made the regular left ficlder of the club, re- placing Lewis ACCEPTS DE PALMA'S RECORDS, New York, Feb “The automo- bile records made by Ralph De Paj- ma at distances from one kilometo; to twenty miles at Daytona, Fla., o February 12, 16 and 17 were accey cd as official records by the contes | hoard of the Americ Auton.ob | French 'MIKE 0DOWD HURLS . DEFI AT GARPENTIER | Middleweight Ramp Challenges European Heavyweight Paris, Feb. 25.—Mike O'Dowd. | world's middleweight champion, Sun- day night threw down the gauntlet to Georges Carpentier the heavy- Weight champion of Europe. O'Dowg Was introduced from the ring of the Cirque Paris and took advantage of { the opportunity to issue a formal challenge to the French pugilist and aviator The American declared that s ready and willing to fight pentier at any time, any place, for any purse and any number of rounds. Spectators received the impression that O'Dowd was heavier than the middleweight limit of Europe, which is 160 pounds, and as Carpentier fights at about 175 pounds, the dif- ference in weight would not be great. As O'Dowd is a more rugged man than either Frank Klaus or Billy | Papke, both of whom prevailed over he French fighting as an, at the time he was middleweight, opinion s to the effect that the American would have n excellent chance against the F nchman Carpentier Starts Training. Coincident with the announcement of O'Dowd’s challenge came the state- | ment from Carpentier yesterday that he already has begun training for his bout on July 4 with Diek Smith the light heavyweight champsn of England. As Carpentier holds the light heavyweight title of Burope as well as the heavvwelight champlofi. mith, if he defeats Carpen- will gain both titles This match gains additional inter- est from the fact that it is to be staged in Strasbourg, the capital of the reconquered province of Alsace- Lorraine, and the setting of the date on America’s Independence day fs | taken as a grateful acknowledgmef( | of the part taken by United States soldiers in restoring the territory to France. Both Smith and Carpentier | were recently discharged from mili- tary service in the British and rmies respectively, and the men are sald to be in good physical condition Carpentier's bout with Smith wil he the first he has engaged in since he ceased his pugilistic activities to enter the army. So far as the battle between the Frenchman and Smith is concerned opinion is that Carpen- tier will win decisively, for Smith was thoroughly heaten by Mike O'Dowd in the Albert hall military bouts in a three-round contest A Chance for Shevlin. Additional information is to the ef. fect that the winner of the Smitfi Carpentier contest will be pitted against some American soldier, pre mably O'Dowd, who makes a good showing in the series of bouts now in progress in Paris under the ans- pices of the Knights of Columbus Fddie Shevlin of Boston, who was lightweight champion of New Eng- lond and now is in the service eof Uncle Sam, is, according to word re- ceived from London, to have an- other trial against Johnny Basham, welter champion of Bngland. They are scheduled to meet at the Nation- al Sporting club in London on March 17 in a twenty round bout. Basham aind Shevlin boxed a fifteen round bout at that club on January 27 apd Basham got the decision by a shade. DALEY AND CURRIE DRAW. Go 12 Slashing Rounds Before Whip City A. C.—Metayer Quits.
