Counting the Industrial and the City league which starts next Saturday afternoen, there are day to attend games, Viewing the quality of baseball the games on Sunday. ‘We decided a very serious argu- ment this morning. A and B argued long and steadily over the respect- {ve merits of two major league base- ball teams. The argument finally re- sulted in & bet that A's team would make more runs than B's. As it happened, B's team played yesterday but rain washed out the gome in which A's team was to take part. The question put to us was whether A lost or not. Our answer ‘was that it was “no bet.” 1t A should pay the bet, he is pay- ing when he got no run at all.for his money. The bet as made. was ovidently agreed upon with the un- derstood stipulation that the two teams play. When it rained on one same, A’'s team had no chance at all te make runs. The bet should be odrried over until th next day on which: the two teams really do plfy. - "The West End baseball team will Teld its final practice seasion before tHe opening of the City league, to- morrow night at 6:30 o'clock at Walnut Hill park.

Cleveland, Detroit, the Athletics, Browns and White Sox are down to the limit. The Red Box expect to be down to 25 players by Saturday. ‘The Chicago Cubs have players, but Joe McCarthy is having trouble making up his mind which one to release.

James, an inflelder, and Dick Smith, catch- er, to Baltimore, bringing them in- side the limit. The Cardinals are already one un- der the limit.

CARPENTIER LOOKS SBHM_HI_NE OVER O Tine Frech Ring ldo Watches Gernan in Trining Lakewood, N. J., June 13 P — Gorgeous Georges Carpentier, trim and lean as that sultry July day in 1921 when a heavyweight crown trembled for a moment under the crash of his fists, stood on the out- side of a training ring looking in. The orchid man of France rub- bed his chin caressingly against the top rope and stared at the la- bors of a husky youth whom the knowing speak of carelessly as “an- other Dempsey.” It was the old Jack Dempsey, a scowling. punch- ing ssvage in those days, who took the best Carpentier had to offer in the second round of the first “bat. tle of the century”—took it, trem- bled, and came back to crush the gallant Frenchman in two more rounds. For six rounds Carpentier watch- ed Max Schmeling, the German " | Dempeey in appearance, maul three sparring partners around the ring. ll{a never took his eyes from the action as his head swayed and his body instinctively hunched now and then from blows that were flying in the ring. Then jt was over and the orchid man, probably the handsomest sur- vivor of a Dempsey engagement, tiited a natty gray hat over one section of his forehead., sunk his hands deep in the pockets of a perfectly tailored light suit, and beamed on the war correspondents. “I can’t tell you who I think will win the bout between Schmeling and Paulino Uzcudun—at least not here,” he said in easy English. learned in France after his first trip to America. “In many ways this Schmeling does look like Dempsey. but—." The Frenchman smiled and those who remembered the Demp- sey of eight years ago smiled and understood too. “Schmeling is a better boxer than I thought he was,” Georges continued, “but he is wide open and easy to hit. I don’t like to see the ease with which his sparring part- ners clout him. Faulino hits fast and hard and often, and you can't tell where the punches are coming trom. “The German is loose and very fast for a big man. He punches quickly, too, and very hard with the right. He must be careful to keep away from Paulino and box al- ways.” His dictum rendered, Carpentier stepped into his big foreign car and rolled back to New York to con- tinue discussions of stage offers that brought him overseas again. SALESMAN SAM inged : where the 1929 battle will be THURSDAY, JUNE Calitornia has beea here onmly since Tuesday but the Goiden Bears have been over the course more than once already. Early yesterday Ebright sent his men up and down the river for a stretch of easy pull- ing, following with a more strenuous eight mile grind in the evening. The other crews here—Navy Pennsylvania and Syracuse—ars hard at work, determined, if umable to win, to place with the winners. Syracuse arrived late yesterday in time for only a short workout, but the strenuous grind started teday for Jim Ten Eyck’s eight. Penn was the only crew on the river late yesterday when a sea- plane, hound from Albany to New York, crashed in the center of the course, a short distance from their shell. A Navy coaching launch, manned by attaches of the Annapolis camp. rescued the four passengers and pilot, two of them badly injured. ‘WILDCATS GO WILDER The Wildcats added ‘another vic- tim to their long list when they beat the Western Union baseball team by a 27 to ¢ score. The battery for the winners consisted of Hanna and Bucklotz. Both starred. Any team with players under 15 years of age wishing to play the winners call on While he did not say so, Georges left the impression that he believes Uzcudun, once a member of the stable of his old manager, Fran- cois Descamps, will overpower the German sensation in the 15 round milk fund battle at the Yankee stadium June 17. NINE BOAT CREWS | ARE IN REGATTA Suoonss of Pl Cost Al letes May Be Continued June 24 | Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 13 (UP)—The consistent success of Pacific coast athletes in the east' during the collegiate year just end- ed may be comtinued June 24 when nine of the nation's leading crews meet in the annual intercollegiate | rowing association regatta here. Last fall the Oregon Aggies and Stanford University came from the far west to score gridiron victories over New York University and Army, respectively—two of the ranking elevens of the east. Ten days ago a Stanford track team returned to the coast from an | invasion of Philadelphia with the | I. C. A. A. A. A. cinder champion- ship. Bouthern California was sec- ond in the same meet. Today the coast is represented on the Hudson by a Cailfornia crew that was invincible during the ex- tensive national and Olympic com- petition of 1928, and a fine Wash- ington crew is on its way here to/ conclude its preparations for the climatic regatta of the year. | Although California defeated Washington in their race on the coast this spring there is little ten- dency to under-rate the huskies among the five crews at work here. Coach Ki Ebright, of California, himself a former Husky coxswain. told newspapermen here yesterday that Washington would be stronger than many experts believed, and | other cpaches scem inclined to agree with him. Washington was third last year but crossed the line at the end of the four miles in better time than any winning team had recorded in | previous years. Of the five teams already on the scene, California and Columbia are attracting the most interest. Colum- bia, with its greatest crew in years, is working diligently toward the perfection necessary if the Lions are to score the victory they missed by half a length last year. Young Dick Glendon is a relent- less taskmaster and no crew spends more time on the Hudson than Co- lumbja. Not content with having the only undefeated crew in the east Glendon is determined to place Co- lumbia first among the rowing achools of the nation before his shell is wrecked by graduation.
