CAR PENTIER PASS Cook, Who Is to Fight Carpen- tier, Said to Be Good Man. E have st from Rea Allen that George Cook, the Australian who is to fight Carpentiet in Lotion next Thursday night, is some- thitig of @ scrapper, Allen knows him well, has boxed with him and says he is far from a dub. In fact Allen expects him to beat the cele- brated Frenchman. Cook, according to Allen, is as fast as our good light- weights and in the gym, at least, has thé ‘speed of a Benny Leonard. He is bin altogether different type from Bt Beckett, having something be- sidbs brute strength to depend on. While a victory for Cook will be considered a sensation here it will be all that is expected by followers of pugilism in England, Allen adds that Carpentier will have to be in real fighting condition Tharsday. If the reports which have reached here about his being physi- cally broken down are true then the ht is half won for Cook now. at could be sweeter for Jack Dempsey than a victory for Cook?

It was intended as a playful suggestion in the recent Johnny Buff scrib that the little Jer- seyite should leave his title in safe keeping here before going to England to it as Pete Herman did with lynch before Pete hopped a boat to de battle with Jimmy Wilde. As for there being an understariding at the time that Herman was to come back and win it from Joe as he did, we'll say there were rumors all over to that effect. We can easily see, how- ever, that such a state of affairs could exist without any guilty knowl- edg# on the part of you and Lynch. Joe certainly beat Herman for the title to everybody's satisfaction, but) in ir second bout was only a shadow of the man he was the first time, You say Joe broke his arm thag, night and you squandered your il on the result. We believe you, We couldn't be malicious about Joe, if we tried.

Lew had just led us to Mev that the ocean trip was planned as a vacation for the little Jeréey fighter and not as one to avoid chajlengers from rivals here at home. He had heard of offers of $35,000 and had arranged for the cancellation of his reservations on the Baltic on the 15th if said propositions proved some- thing else than publicity stunts on the, "part of those responsible for the esterday Diamond showed up at the Garden for the purpose of talxing over a match with Midget Smith and them the real truth came out, Harry Neary was on hand representing the iusy Midget and he lost little time in telling Diamond that he would give him end Buff $25,000 to sign articles to fight Smith for the bantam cham- yiopship at the Garden, Neary had the money.

S UP TOM GIBBONS THE COOK-CARPENTIER Q PUT CARPENTER away M HIGHT CHARTER THE: FIRST TUB FoR ENED Told by “Duggie” Stuart Also Explains Plans to Legalize Gam- bling Debts Abroad. By Robert Boyd. 'N England they call him “Duggie,” | whether it is the boy who shines his shoes or a prince of finance who wishes to gamble in thousand- pound notes. And what respect they have for Douglas Stuart, one of Brit- ain’s most widely known racing men, who once staggered the Bank of Monaco with his winnings! “Duggie never owes!” “Strong as the Bank of England!” “His name stands for all that is good in the racing world!" ‘These are slogans that have stood for the last eighteen years. In private life Douglas Stuart, turf accountant as he likes to refer to himself, is better known as Martin Harry Benson, wealthy turfman and sportsman, with a racing stable at Epsom. Diring the gay season he jumps down to the Riviera and takes a filng at.the roulette wheels of the famous onte Carlo, There he is known as plain “Duggie.” Americans & general rule do not take very seriously what is said about the Eurepgans. Why should they? But Douglas Stuart is not in the sense % European. He is a cosmo- politan sportsman, and “Duggie” says himself that he has always found that eeal turfmen are the same whether you play in America, England or France, What prompted us to seek out this distinguished figure of the English race tracks was the rumor Chat he was laying 50 to 1 against Duettiste, America's hope in the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase, next spring, the racing classic of the Eng- lish turf, “Yes, that is a fact, sharply re- torted the polite little English turf king iW answer to our question. “I have made a bet with an American sportsman whose name 1 do not care to mention, and 1 have £26,000 to wager at the same, odds. Remember, that is pounds and’ not dol “Why are you laying such odds?" we asked, “Is it the superiority of the English horses or ts it the fact that you do not consider Duettiste a great horse “No, it's not that I overestimate the English thoroughbred or under- estimate the American horses. 1 Place my belief that the difficulty of the course over which the Grand Na- tional is to be run will prevent the James E. Widener horse from win- ning. I have studied the American steeplechase courses and I know the English courses thoroughly. I will be greatly surprised if Duettiste fin- ishes at all. “You know what they say on the track: ‘Horses for courses,’ Well, that’s why [ am laying 5¢@ to 1 against Duettiste. The Grand National course will prove strange and too difficult Ifor the American entry “I have noticed in America that af the horses train on the tracks that they are to race on. That is not al- lowed in England, You are not per- mitted to run your horses over the course until the day of the race.” Aithough famed throughout the o ae the ture t greatest are countant, Douglas Stuart is rated as one of the foremost handicappers of the English track. ‘Cab drivers, por- ters, yalets refuse tips or gratuities, they will get in England more than do the $80,000.

Gam- bling was considered an fllegal trans- action. Mr, Stuart explained that he and his followers tested the blunder made during the reign of Queen Ann. It was known as the famous Briggs ts, Sutters case, with “Duggie” on the Briggs side. A decision was ren- dered from the bench that a loser could sue a bookmaker and eecover all moneys paid by check. The higher courts upheld the decision and the House of Lords agreed that it was entirely lea) to call gdmbling debts illegal. Several, statesmen, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer, ex- pressed their opinions as disapprov- ing of the ancient Act of Ann. “There is a new bill in the House of Lords,” says Mr. Stuart. “It was being discussed when I left England in November. It is a short bill mulll- fying the old law and legailizing gambling debts. I am certain it will be passed very soon “What wbout breaking the Bank at Monte Carlo?" we asked, after "Dug- gie” finished his brief talk on the: racing laws of England. He laughed and slowly said: “that’s a joke. No one ever breaks the bank down there, but in 1903 T dealt them some heayy blows and had them groggy. But Monte Carlo came back strong. “No,” advised “Duggie,” “they win big down there, but they never break the bank.” “One mere question, ‘Duggie'—bes pardon, I mean Mr. Stuart.” “] know,” he interrupted. “You are going to ask me what I think of Pro- hibition, “Yes,” we replied. “well, I have been in this country three months and haven't seen any- thing of it yet.

By Bozeman Bulger. ANS need no longer weep over the absence of Babe Ruth when the first bats begin to crack in the spring. It is almost certain now that the Bambino will appear in the line- up of the Yanks for the first game. Already the high powers of baseball have paved the way. They have made it possible for Judge Landis to recede | from a position that to him was very unpleasant, one that duty forced him to take against his personal wishes. The rule prohibiting members of a world’s series team from participating in exhibition games after the season— barnstorming, in other words—will be abrogated at the meeting at Chicago in February, Ban Johnson, John Heydler and Judge Landis have de- cided to recommend the change. | There is no doubt but that the mag- |nates of the two leagues will agree with them. This means that when the season opens there will no longer be any necessity for enforcing a law that does not exist, a law that was stupid and very distasteful to the high com- missioner when he first took charge of the game, The rule being dead, Ruth's sentence can be commuted, his punishment being limited to the loss of his world’s series money. That | can be done without any loss of dig- jnity on the part of Judge Landis and | without reflection on his policy of maintaining discipline. The rule will not be so changed as to permit a world’s series team to | take part in exhibition games as such, but the individual members will be | permitted to do as individuals. That fully covers the case and satisfies the complaint of the players that they have been victims of an unnecessary |and uncalled for, hardship. Everybody should be happy. It was to champion the cause of the players that Ruth deliberately an- nounced his intention to violate the rule and show it up. He did this in ‘defiance of Judge Landis’s warning ‘and frankly told the Judge why he | Was going to do it. Under those circumstances there was nothing left for Judge Landis but to inflict a harsh punishment and| to stand by it as long as.the rule was | |left on the books, even though Ruth | did stop his tour and apologize. “It really hurts me more than you may think to do this,” the Judge | said to some baseball officials when | he announced his decision of suspen- |sion, “but there is no alternative. | The law, unnecessary as it may seem, is there, and as long as it remains unchanged it is my duf¥ to enforce it. I have given the matter consid- erable thought.” The loss of Ruth for six weeks means not only a loss to the New York owners, hut to the whole league. But that did not, and should not, have any influence on the enfore ment of discipline. A resolution was proposed at the meeting in New York to change that rule, but the proposer was asked to withdraw it on the grounds that it might embarrass Judge Landis and reflect on his decision. He gave no in- timation then as to his views on the subject. The presidents of the two major leagues have now agreed upon the reasonably change, the Judge concurring. After Feb, 1 the boards will he} clear for the Judge to act mercifully Jin the cases of Ruth, Meusel or Piercy. Leave it to him, | Up at Jack Doyle's yesterday they were betting 8 to 5 that Babe Ruth | would be in the opening line-up of |the Yanks.
