Se NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING TO-DAY —— ‘Carpentier, Bombards Bombar- | dier Wells Again. OMBARDIER WELLS was bom- ' darded again last night, this time in the historte ring of the ancient National @porting Club of London. “There, surrounded by eight hundred @riends and backers, who hoped that Bngiand would again find jon the pugilistic map, Bombardier was yiknocked out decisively by Georges Car- ‘pentier, middleweight, light heavy- weight and heavyweight champion of }®rance and Burope. " Wells flopped for the ten-second count after just one minute and thirteen onde of one-sided fighting. ut another French boxer who was mas- querading under the name of a well known English fighter. Carpentier knocked out Welle @ few montha ago, in the fourth round of a fight held at Ghent. Welle made ao! showing in that fight, Car- pentier down twice for nine second Thie made English followers port confident that Wells would Teverse the affair last night and win the heavyweight championship of ‘Kurope. They placed wands of Pounds in wagers on thelr favorite. ‘This defeat of their best heavy- weight, in the stronghold of English boxing, by @ French middleweight, ts the hardeat blow ever struck at British fiatic Supremacy. ‘Carpentier bettered the feata of Pal- ser and Gunboat Brhith. Welle gave Palzer a terrible beating before going down himself, and for one reund nearly ‘Smith's head through variens side lines Seo nota with besing’ He to the rich: est pugiet in Durope.

Just where eaid shortstop is located Robby admits he does not know, but the olf coach has brought along die hunting rig and promises to have him amoked out by night. In an absent-minded moment Charley Ebbets traded off Fisher, the only shortatop that Brooklyn owned, just before Robby was handed the job, and In our set that is not a very clubby trick to play on a With Just eight men he In handed. “As I understand the rules,” declared Robby, “a team ts not allowed to be- gin @ season without « ehortetop, and whether I want one or not I've got to ‘have him. I'l get out @ set of decoys to-day, and if wind {# right ther might be something doing.” ‘The worst of Robby'n predicament is that he hean't anything in the way of good ball players to trade for a real, eiz-eviinder, eeif-starting shortetopper. ‘Therefore, the only way to get one is by handing out real coin. And hi willing to go es high as 610,000 if the goods are all wool and of ‘the 191¢ model. To start with, Robby hae in mind Joe Tinker, Bob Hauser of Cardi- nals, and Charley Herzog of the Giants. Garry Herrmann has offered Tinker at $90,000, but that ts a little beyond the Broeklyn Sgger. It fe going to be hard to pry Hersos away from the Giants, an McGraw is not in need of money. If Herzog is to be waded the New York Clud wants players, which Brooklyn has act. If Robby spent any of his athletes he would be worse off than ever, A@vances have been made to’ Mr. Gebuyler Britton, owner of the Cant- nals, for Hauser, but, #0 far, it looks Pretty cold.

Still, Rrooklyn must have a shortstop If they o: to Gtart the eeason, and Robby will resume the chase just as soon as the effects of the banquet have worn away. Right now tt looks as if the Gtante were not going to figure in any trades at all. Secretary Foster prefers to wait until the return of McGraw in the spring.
