COFFROTHHAS LEAD IN RACE (Continued from rage Ten.) circles that he will not give Dempsey the word to sign until he Is assured that the biggest bid possible has been received. Conflicting claims of the three promoters who now lead the field in the race for the match have jumbled the situation considerably. Coffroth is confident that Carpentler will accept his offer. William Fox, who hgs topped* all other bids by intimating that he might go as high as $550,000 if necessary, announced that his Paris representative assures him that Carpentler is not bound by theatrical or other contracts which would prevent him from accepting an American offer. Then there Is Charles B. Cochran, who firmly maintains that he still holds an option on the Frenchman’s services for a bout in England. WATCHFUL WAITING IN DEMPSEY CAMP LOS ANGELES, Jan. B.—Jack Dempsey and Jack Kearns continued their “watchful waiting” policy today after having their hopes raised by an apparently false rumor from Paris that Carpentler had accepted Jim Coffroth’s terms to fight at Tia Juana. Dempsey was disappointed when he found the report unconfirmed, but both he and Kearns have hopes that Carpentier finally will accept Croffroth’s offer. Carpentier’s alleged desire for a shorter distance than forty-five rounds didn't seem to bother either Dempsey or his manager. “Four rounds would be enough for Jack to finish him,” Kearns declared. He emphasized that Carpentler must come to America to fight. ENGLISH PROMOTER DOUBTS REPORT CHICAGO, Jan. B.—Charles B. Cochran, the London promoter who came to America to sign Jack Dempsey for a championship bout with Georges Carpentler in England, is speeding on his way to New York today in an uneasy frame of mind. “I don’t believe that Carpentler has signed with Jim Coffroth for a Tia Juana fight,” he said before departing. “I think Carpentler and Des Champs are too honorable to break their word with me. I shall certainly go to court to protect my interests." Cochran declares that he has the French champion’s signature to articles calling for a bout N with Dempsey in England. ASKS LONGER BORDER PASSES LOS ANGELES, Jan. B.—Anticipating 8 rush of visitors tq the Tia Juana race meet, which opens Jan. 24, and later, perhaps, to the proposed Dempsey-Car-pentier fight, a plan for loosening the present stringent passport and border permit regulations fats forwarded to Washington today by S. A. Burnett, chief immigration inspector here. The plans call for extension of the present oneday permit to visit. Tia Juana to ton days. They must be procured several days in advance, however. Pending action at Washington, one-day permits only will be issued to those wishing to cross the border. NO OFFERS ACCEPTED , PARIS STILL REPORTS PARIS, Jan. B.—No decision to accept any of the various offers for a match with Jack Dempsey has been reached by M. Des Champs, manager of Georges Carpentier, it was repeated today following a similar announcement yesterday. M. Descoin, the French promoter, is still negotiating with DesEhamps for Carpeiitier’s services and will meet the French champion’s manager tomorrow in on efiloxt to sign Carpentler. NEW ORLEANS TREES BID. LONDON, Jan. B.—Nate Lewis, American fight mahager, on behalf of Dominick Tortorlch, New Orleans promoter, today cabled an offer of $125,000 to [Georges Carpentler to meet Jack Demp■ey for the world’s championship in JF<|iv Orleans some time during November. If the offer is sufficiently Interesting’ to Manager Deschamps, Lewiss will _£pnfer with him about the number of rounds and other details. The offer for a fight late in November was made after it bad been said that Carpentler had theatrical contracts that would keep him busy until late in the year.

MEXICAN GOVERNOR TALKS. MEXICALI, Lower Caliornia, Mex., Jan. B.—Gov. Estaban Cantu, whose jurisdiction includes Tia Juana, Lower Caliornia, stated he had not been ashed or any permit or the fight between Dempsey and Carpentier now tentatively planned for Tia Juana July 4 nest. The governor said he knew nothing of Promoter Ooffroth's plans and added that the fight could not be staged without the consent of the government. He said he did not wish now to express himself as to his probable attitude if a permit khould be sought Em-Roes Schedule Lima Teem for Game Before Meeting Cheyene Quint Before taking on the Cheyenne Indians at the Y.

BOWIIN6 ■■mmmm mm m (Continued from Page Ten.) hard and brought home the bacon. His 267 led everything. Coble ran with “Weis,” but he was not Quite so strong. • Harkenrider, strong arm of the Teeth, was not quite so strong after he delivered his 213. McCullough had an off night. He couldn’t grab anything tbafhad the least resemblance to a double circle. The Hides took two from the Antlers and then gave them the third one for good luck, or because they were forced, either way you like it. Randall got one double century and a chance to cop another, but Mr. Split couldn’t see it like that. The Shin Bones left the post hitting on one cylinder and they lost the opener, but they got organized in time to take the rubber contest. Bush put them over In the final game with a 255. The Hoofs didn’t look tough to the Eyes. They knocked their socks off three times. Newlin tried to step out with a 200, but McAllen, rival anchor man, sent him to the background with his 232. Jess Pritchett let himself be represented by a 202, which came In the footsteps of a 148. Can you “magazine” that 148 stuff? ABATTOIR HAMBURGERS. Harry Cress drew a big hand with his slow drag pill last night. Berry. Moran and Ostemeier must have loaded up on “sodle pop” before they took the drives. They had oodles of pep. The Porkers took two from the Receiving department. The victory was made all the more glorious Dy the fact that they shot without two of their regulars. Stewart returned to the fold and robbed Hamilton ont of the high game honors when he busted 244. Hamilton busted 230 on the nose. Why was Welch so interested in the scores 'being rolled on 13 and 14? Tashey Mack hung the blame on his shoes again. The “Aba” were a well-behaved bunch last night and the foul man chucked his Job before the second round was over. Fulton doesn’t come through with a top score very often bnt he's got plenty of nerve. He challenged every man In the loop last night and offered a handicap. He got by with it. The Jobbers look like they might be stepping with the Purchasers and the Porkers before the schedule runs oqt. “Atta Boy Horace” failed to show up last night but things rolled merrily onward. Bremmel, one of the star shooters of the circuit, did a brodie down the stairs at the Central alleys last night and split his “trigger” finger. This probably will keep him out of the fight for a few weeks.

BEAM’S NO. S LOOP. Collins of the Independents counted a 217 in his second game of the evening against the Easterners and carried away the “sliver trophy.” Rubush rushed the maples for 207 in his final attempt fbr the Easterners and helped his teammates to their second victory of the evening over the Independents. The L. F. Justice team is now resting comfortably in the first division. C. Hebble was the big noise for the Hoosler Oils with a total of 566 pins. The Justice crew did justice to their willing backer when they took games in one-two-three fashion from the Daniels. Reid of the Buieks wasted a 852 total when his teammates failed to deliver. The Express boys dropped the second and third contests to the W. W. V.’s. Who will win the league honors? Dope It out. Only eight games from the top to bottom of the first position, the East erners holding first place and the L. F. Justice boys coming fast. Dental Star Center Is Back and in Fine Form , for Earlham Contest “Slim" cofield, star center of the Indiana Dental College five,. is back In school and Is training for the game between the Tooth Pullers and Earlham college, which will be played at the Independent Athletic club gym Saturday night Cofleld was two days latein re turning from his Christmas vncation, but the tajl man has been tossing baskets In the high school gymnasium at bis home town. Newcastle, and he showed last night that he was In good physical condition. The Dentals went through a Jong workout ot the Sbortrldge High school gymna-ium. Forty minutes of scrimmage practice In addition to passing and basket shooting was given the Gold and Purple athletes. The Dental players are expecting the hardest game of their home schedule when they meet Conch Mowe’s Earlham defeated the Dentals, 24 to 12, at Richmond in an early season game. The Tooth Pullers, however, have made much improvement and expect to give the Quakers a great battle Saturday. John*Head of Center college will be the referee of the game. There will be no curtain raiser. #Tb© Earlham-Dentai game will start at 8:15 o'clock. It is the first time the Dentals have played t game on the Independent Athletic club gym floor, but the team will have one chance to practice on that court before Meeting Earlham. Most of the Dental games have been played at the Marion club gymnasium, but the larger seating space in the Independent Athletic club gym was found necessary for the Eailliam game, which is the most important contest on the Dental’s home schedule, and which contest is sure to be witnessed by a record crowd. Play Off Cue Tie Ferguson defeated Houseman by a score of 50 to 34 in the final game of the city amateur three-cushion tournament at the Board of Trade rooms last night.

CURTIS IN FORM. William Curtis, former state threecusVon billiard champion, defeated Terrel last night at Cooler’s parlor in the state three-cushion tourney, 50 to 30, in sixty-two innings. The game was the best that has been played and showed Curtis shooting the most consistent billiards he has displayed in some time. He had a high run oi five and three runs of four. Terrel’s best effort was a count of three. Curtis ran his last thirtyfive points in twepty-slx innings. Sullivan and Teague play Friday night. FIRST DEFEAT FOR FISHER. The Fisher A.’s stacked up against the Cumberland Independents without the ajd of McClure, their star forward, last nlgh£ and were defeated for the first time this season, by a 36 to 12 Count. The first half of the contest was rather slow but in *the final period both team* speeded up and pulled several feature plays. The Fisher team has a few dates open and would like to hear from some of the fast quintets in Indianapolis. Call Woodruff 6103, ring dU and ask for Nelson.

WASHINGTON, Jan. The all-Amer-ican farmer-laber co-omerative commission was Introduced to' Washington today and gave cold shudders to some of the leading politicians.

According to the announcement made by Gustafson, the commissou will conduct a vigorous campaign for direct dealing between farm pxoducers nnd city consumers, and as soon as feasible between city producers and farm consumers This fiat announcement, however, did not satisfy when political leaders looked at the list of officials of the new organization, which Includes C.

The demand wns somewhat different from that of the day before, because of an outside order for the strong weight hogs and in fixing a basis of prices to govern the trading the heavier stock had a much better standing than on Wednesday, when local killers were the principal buyers. There was a strong sentiment, that the wide range in prices established the day before was not justified by aDy natural Influence, and it was finally agreed to reduce prices of light hogs instead of raising those for other weights. There were several selected hogs sold at $14.75<g>14.80, but the predominating price, for light weights was $14.70, 60c lower, and the hogs averaging more than 225 pounds at $14.40(8 14.60 were steady. Pigs were lower, relatively, than they have been for some time and there were none higher than $14.50. Sows were lower, with most of the sales at $13(813.50. Practically all of the fresh arrivals were sold. Cattle. There was another unusual run of 2,100 cattle, especially for this time in the week, and this was reflected in a further decline of 25c in prices at least so far as the medium killing steers were concerned. Buyers did not insist on a general reduction In prices of the good to choice steers nor on the female butcher cattle, but the under current of affairs in the general market was tilted in favor of buyers and It is believed that there will be a further loss unless the marketing is curtailed to the requirements i fit the trade. The market for veal calves was as much higher as they were lower on Wednesday and there were sales as high at s2l. Feeding cattle were quotably steady. , , Sheep. Fully one-third of the receipts of live mutton stock were in one shipment of nearly 300 lambs that sold at $17.85, because they did not have a season’s coat of wooL They had been clipped last summer.

U. S. WILL STOP FOREIGN LOANS Goverhment Adopts Policy of Doing Less Financiering Abroad. WASHINGTON, D. CL. Jan. T.-The policy of the United States government is to make no more loans to Enropean governments, except In case of absolute necessity to save humans from starve, tion. From April 24, 1917, to Nor. 13, IM*, the United States advanced to Belgium, Cuba, Czech o-Slovakia, Prance, Gnat Britain, Greece, Italy. Liberia, Roumania, Russia and Serbia an aggregate of $9,416,371,888.55. Os this, $2,329,257,135,50 was loaned since the armistice was signed. By various acts, congress had authorized the treasury to loan the European governments $10,000,000,000 for war purpose*. The treasury can not go above that amount. BILLION LOANED FOR NON-WAR PURPOSES. The War Finance Corporation empowered the treasury to loan $1,000,000,000 for nfip-war purposes. Os the $10,000,000,000 there is still an unexpended balance of $593,628,111.45. But the United States Is going to dp the equivalent of loaning to these governments of $475,000,000 for the next two or three years. This will be done by funding the interest, or adding it to their debt to us, instead of collecting it. nine and half billions OF DEMAND LOANS. These $9,500,000,000 were demand loans, with 5 per cent interest. The United States could now demand payment of them Immediately, but It couldn't collect, as the governments couldn’t pay. So the plants to convert them Into locgnone running longer than Oct. Europe could not only pay the principal, but it would take" one-half of her gold to pay one year's interest. To collect either the interest or principal now, before Europe starts producing, would cripple her so she might not be able to get on her feet at all.
