eemeet> aeese Baseball Is Being Talked in. French, If Not Being Played. RE enh Re Se Coperignt, 1910, by Ube Mem Pubtinhing Oo, (The New’ York Evening World.) “ ASEBALL will never become! popular in France, because it} is considered too dangerous.” Christy Mathewson made this state- ment on his recent arrival here. He cited an instance of a Frenchman let- ting @ fy ball drop through his hands, who thereafter couldn't be induced to come back on the diamond. On top of Matty's statement news from Paris tells us there is still hope for the game; in fact, some of the natives ure now talking baseball in| French, if indeed they are not play- ing it. i Prof, P. R. Carpenter, director of| Sports at the Foyers du Soldat, tho} American’ Y, M. C. A. for French sol- diers, is responsible for this, Assisted by Franz Messerly, a Parisian en- thustast, he has issued a Regles do Baseball, an official guide for the American game. It contains all the French equiva- Jents for the American baseball te “On joue,” for instance, is play 4s the umpire, “I'arbitre,” shouts at the beginning of a game. “Le lan- cour" is the pitcher, and the pitch- er’s box the “plaque de lanceur,” from | where “une bulle” is hurled toward * “le batteur” standing at “la plaque du bat’'—home plate. “Une frappe” is a strike, and a hit fg either “valide” or “a faux,” de- pending on whether or not it falls in or outside the foul dines. When 4 batsman gets on the bases, he becomes a “coureur de bases, base runner, and takes his instruc- lens from “l'aide de camp” on the coaching lines. When le batteur hits past the infleld it is to the “extra ohamps,” and may be stretched into “un coup a deux bases,” and if it Proves a liome run, it is a “point but” to the French rooter. T last we have a real reason why Georges Carpentier, the French heavyweight, has sidestepped all offers to come to America. He is afraid of the ocean. Can you beat it? He has been through four years of war, flirted with death dozens of tmes and apparently thought nothing of it. H. Reeves Smith, a boxing fol- lower of international note, talking of Carpentier the other day In Bos- ton, said: “Carpentier's dread of the ocean fesults from a gypsy prophecy made in his youth, to the effect that he would meet his death by drown- ing. It will be remembered that Car- pentier crossed the English Channel in 1918 to fight Bombardier Wells in London and knocked him out in a round. It took considerable arguing, St Is said, to get the Frenchman to make tha* trip. + ee Se eREETE URE Ree sean eh eee HE big feature of to-night's box- ing show in Newark is that Tendier and Welling, the principals in the star bout, will enter the ring a8 honest to goodness lightweights, It has been some time since boxing fans have seen a copgest between good men, so evenly matched as far as weight is concerned, Usually light- weights, especially top notchers, meet at catch weights, one or the other having something of an advantage in poundage. To-night Tendler ‘ell- ing have $500 forfeits at stake to make the lightweight limit at ringside, Sounds like old times. RED FULTON'S new manager is flooding the country with typo- written letters on pale pink letter- heads proclaiming Fred “the world’s fighting heavyweight champion.” How ridiculous and what an insult to any- body's intelligence! In the letters Ful- feu is made to clamor for another chance at Dempsey, as if this were possible now, with Jack tied up in @ match with Jess Willard. The demand for another chance at Dempsey is justified by the claim that his rapid | ire knockout of Fred at Harrison, N, J., was just one of those flukes #0 common in ring history, with a list of similar occurrences explained like 1 this “You wili note here a few of the| one round fluke fights—where the champions, or near-champions, came back after being knocked out in a round and win in return mateh, Fred double City, the NEW Horton and wards, Brown akill when ling. in the final tion mateh The had a fieli ¢ of 38 in the Amateur the W ternoon. will full Conte Fulton will do the same with Jack Dempsey in a return match Dal Hawkins vs. Martin Finherty— Is Your | Digestion Week? | Does the food which Which you used to you?
