a ——. Dempsey Wants to Go Abroad and Box for the Soldiers, With Carpentier If Possible. | @CK DEMPSEY, who leaped to about the top rung of the heavy-/ weight division by his 18-second Ameckout of Fred Fulton, has a new @uBition. He wants to go to France and England and box for the benefit of the soldier boys. He wants to go rigtt away, too. He and his man-! ager, Jack Kearns, believe thousands of doMars could be raised by bis ap- | pearance in bouts in both countries. Dempecy would welcome a chance to fight in Paris, particularly with Georges Carpenticr, the French heavy - weight. Despite war conditions, @porting amusements in Paris are @rewing big crowds, and a reaily good fight would be a record breaker. Dempsey figures he could do more for his country so engaged than in any other way. BYttne is still trying to learn its fate despite the fact that Sec- retary Baker's work or fight de- elaten was supposed to have decided !t. Jee governors, however, don't seem to Tealize this, for ever since they have been planning ways and means out of @Mevlties which are of thelr own! making. On Saturday, for instance, tee National League magnates will held @ special conference here to de- | che just where they are at. On the mame day the American club owners Ww also get together for much the game purpose. Garry Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnat) club, adds to (he dissension that already exists by @mnouncing he will not attend the Mew York meeting” but instead wiil eae session of the National Commis. Fasting tothe game's future. The ie ‘8 © Retionat ‘Commission. is componed of as Chairman and the big Meagues’ Presidents, Tener and John- een. Tener won't have anything to do with and Johnson professes ee interests in Tener’s baseball ‘Therefore the commission's meeting will be a bobtatled affair and the session of national’s magnates of the same order, How sions are to be arrived at fueh conditions may only be baseball atten- @ences way to nothing qmd interest in the pennant races is aimost entirely lost. Baseball needs @ Moses now more than it ever did m thetest twenty-five years. ‘A KUMAGAE, the noted Japanese tennis player, may win our national championship this eeeson, but if he does, his will be honora There is little com- im sight for him, with all the mem.

By Hugh S. Fullerton. INCE all our baseball players between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one are to go to work, we take delight in presenting the experience of Cy Seymour, ex-Giant, ex-star of the big league, and ex-leading hitter of baseball, Cy has been working in a shipyard. Some of the players imagine that working in a shipyard is @ bed of roses scented with myrrh. Listen to Cy. “Say, I never worked a day in my life. They told me it was soft. Soft? Say, I’ve Ived through a hundred spring training trips. I have been sore and worked {t out. But not like this, The first three days I felt more hump-backed than any mascot we ever had. I ached like a Lone bruise from head to foot. “Can you imagine a ball player getting up at 5.30, riding a dozen miles and then being handed a monkey-wrench? They put me to work tightening up nuts that no one else was strong enough to tighten. I pulled 11,234,452 nuts tight in one day. That night I looked like one of Mordecai Brown's curves, bent right in the middle, “I never had worked a day in my life, I was strong enough and willing enough, but I went through nine spring training seasons in one week. I'm no quitter. I'll stick to it; but a fellow fsn't much good when he is bent double. But condition; man, I used to think I was in condition when I could run the bases without getting winded. Now I can run half a day at to speed and never feel it, I lost more weight in the first twenty-four hours in the shipyards than I did in a dozen years play- ing baseball. Hereafter I'l! consider playing baseball a summer vacation. Maybe {t is just as hard for a shipbuilder to play baseball as it is for a baseball player to bulld ships, but I doubt it, Anyhow, every nut tn Daseball ought to pull one on a ship, which would help considerably, “If these fellows think they are dodging something by coming into | the shipyards, I'm due for a hig laugh.” Cards Drop Two Asa“Farewell’’ | At Ebbets Field ‘There was small consolation for the St. Louls Cardinals at Ebbets Field exoept in the fact that they bade a long farewell to Flatbush scenes, The Mound City entourage may come again with Springtime, but for 1918 lthey are gone for good—unless some | change is worked In present condi- tions in baseball, Brooklyn did not exactly speed the parting guest, but at the same time Brooklyn wasted seant courtesy. The Robins won the first game by a score of 2 to 1 in thir- teen innings and the second by 4 ore of 7 to 2 in the usual number of | frames. Hard, energetic and timely rapping told the tale in both contests. In e lopening game the teams worried along, ‘neither giving an inch. There were times when chances presented, but both teams rose to the heights when threat ened and kept a rock-ribbed defense, The second contest was duck soup for the Robins. They simply swarmed around the lines, picking up runs in twos and threes, and the best the Cards could do was @ brace of tallies, nao | RACING SELECTIONS.
