Flying Rumors Have Mathewson Ready to Quit Game for Good NEW YORK, May 22. — Christy Mathewson, who made history as “Big Six” of the Giants, who left the managejnent of the Cincinnati Reds to enter the army and generally supposed to be the next leader of the Giants, will write ••finis" in his baseball book at the close of this season, according to reports. The big pitcher, whose name is linked with some of the brightest chapters of baseball during the last decade, is to devote his attention to piTvate business next year, his friends say. John MeGratf, manager of the Giants, tvho has shown his gratitude Jo the old guard of the club by wrecking his chances for n pennant rather than casting out the veterans that made the club the best paying Investment in baseball, had selected Matty as the man to take hold of the reins when he leaves. It was believed. Matty failed with the Cincinnati Reds, but McGraw took him back and planned to give him his chance with the team that he took a major part in making famous. When Johnny Evers, the fiery Trojan, was signed up by the Giants as coach, McGraw announced, despite general belief to the contrary, that Matty's status as assistant manager of the club would not be effected. But since McGraw was suspended on the western trip Evers has been doing most of the bossing and it is generally believed that the toga of clan leaders will fall on his shoulders when McGraw tosses it off.

Curley Announces European Champion Ready for Battler Says Georges Craves Action — Chuck Wiggins Mentioned Among Eligibles. Jack Curley, director of Georges Carpentler's tour of America, informed Charles Olson, manager of the Elk’s athletic carnival to be staged at the state fair grounds coliseum Mav 29 in a letter received tofiay that the European champion, despairing of Jack Dempsey's chances to adjust his present legal difficulties, is ready and willing to meet any other American top-noteners In the heavyweight and light heavyweight classes. “Carpentier came <o this country primarily to get a match with Dempsey,” said Curley. “Both himself and nls manager, Desenmps, are very much disappointed because Dempsey's troubles do not permit his signing for a battle at this time. However, they do not wish to do or say anything along boastful lines to embarrnss the champion. They are willing to wait until such time as Dempsey can enter the ring to defend hi* title, but in the meantime Carpentier is getting ruther anxious to get Into real action. He Is willing and ready to meet any of the American fopnotchor* in the Itght-heavywelght or heavyweight class, and he harbors no fear that the result with any man whom he might meet would spoil hi* chance* of eventually fighting the champion for the world's ; title." Thl* decision on the part of Carpentier •will undoubtedly be balled with pleasure by the sport loving public, though, a* u'matter of fa-ct there are few men eligible for a bout with the Frenchman, owing to the dearth of good material among the big fellows There Is Fred Fulton, Bob Martin and Capt. Roper, heavy weights, and Battling Levtnsky, Harry Grebb, Billy Mlske and Chuck Wiggins of this city among the light heavies Os these Martin and Roper are still of untried quality. Fulton’s showing hasn’t been particularly encouraging, especially since Dempsey knocked him off with one punch. Hence, In all probability ,lt will bo among the quartet of light heavyweights that the best man will be found to face the French itlvader.

WIGGINS SCARES VET LEVINSKY Chuck All But Takes Crown Away From Bat. By EDDIE ASH. Times Sport* Editor. DAYTON, 0., May 22.—1n the fastest boxing bout between big fellows fans of this city ever witneased, Chuck Wiggins, “Hoosier Slasher,” last night outpointed Battling Levlnsky of New Bridgeport, Conn., claimant of the lightheavyweight championship, In a twelveround bout. Referee Stout of Milwaukee called the affair a draw, basing his decision on the ground that Wiggins’ victory was nor sufficiently decisive to warrant aking the title away from the veteran ring master from the east, ritnwi) on.iv.rTS TO DECISION. Stout’s decision was received with dissatisfaction by the large crowd at wood ball park, because Levlnsky hardly was entitled to even one round, while the Indianapolis youth won five, got a slight shade In another and an even break in the remainder. Levlnsky tried "his craftiness from the start, but Wiggins wouldn’t let him rpsl. and kept after him so much that he was forced to the limit in order to make any kiud of a showing for a fighter who is supposed to be the obainphnn of his class. About 100 boxing fans from oils were present and they were wildly enthusiastic over the improvement Wig gins displayed since the last time they saw him perform, which was In his home city one year ago before he went to Australia to clean up the pugilists of that country. Wiggln* use<l hi* left Jab to advantage last night and also crossed a right with good effect. Levlnsky soon awakened to the fact that he had a fight on his hands and he tried all he knew to check the Hoosier. but Wiggins refused to give un Inch and he was fighting as fast at the erfd of twelve rounds as he was when the opening bell sounded ItATLER HAS FACE MUSSED. Levlusky was blowing hard at the finish, spitting blood and carrying a badly mussed-up face. Wiggins bad a bruised nose and a cut lip. but he spilled much less blood than the veteran Wiggins used a style of his own that baffled Levlnsky. shifting from left hand to right-hand lead*, and he worked so fust mat the bout really developed intothe speed of a, match between lightweights. Levlnsky had all the advantage in weight and he tried to use It to gain points, hut oon found Wiggins was will lng to slug with him, and only In a few instance* did the Battler come out of clinches holding the advantage. .Tack Dillon, former light heavyweight tltleholder, was Wiggins’ chief second and his advice was a big aid In Chuck's style of attack.

It was a highly satisfactory boxing card, that Promoter Koebm of the Day - ton Gymnastic club had arranged for ; the evening and all the fans went away ' feeling that they had obtained more than ‘ their money called for. Indianapolis fans, though dissatisfied with the decision given by Referee Stout, enjoyed a large evening, and they will bring more Hosler fans over to the next fight Wiggins : appears in here. i In the preliminaries two young glove artists took the count. The second affair between Young Webb of Dayton and ‘ Yank Driully of Richmond, ended in the eighth ronnd, wifen Webb delivered a socker that put Driully away for the full count and then some. Driully fought i himself out by leading continuously, but be made a solid hit w-lth the fans by his . efforts to keep the bout moving. Promoter Roehm wasted no time between bouts and when one ended another Started Immediately A number of women occupied choice ‘ seat# and seemed to enjoy the fisticuff*, no matter how gruelling It became. Jack Druiey. Wiggins' manager, was busy today lining up future bout* for the "Hoosier Slasher. He la especially anxious to send Chuck against Bob Mar tin, despite the latter's weight advantage. Magnates Mike Moroney and Joe Heath of West Market street and Magnate Joe Ktohz of Illinois street were among those present from the Hooalor capital. Heath , Joined the forces In Wiggins’ corner. Ixxy Brill rode the Telvot cushions going over and smoked a huge Mack cigar ■ during the festivities. Tom New and sou represented Greenfield at the fight and Tom cheered wildly each time Wiggins sent over a socker. Wiggins' mother witnessed the bout and watched every move Chuck made. It was reported after the bout that : lievlnsky thanked Referee Stout for saving bis crown. He certainly did owe thsnks. Dayton boxing crowds are orderly and | transportation to and from the psrk Is j good. Wiggins rightfully succeeds Jack Dillon as Indiana’s king bee pugilist.

A. standing, but the athletes are still determined and convlnoni that they will show something Just as soon as pitching aid comes.

The Indians were still fighting in rlm ninth after a number of unsuccessful attempts to break through, but the last inning effort also fizzled and Manager . Hendricks suffered another knockout. I TRIBE FIGHTS DESPITE HANDICAP. Following the three defeats at Karts** City and two here it must be said that under similar circumstances few club* would keep fighting, but the Hoosiera seem to be convinced that their only drawback is poor pitching, and tana here are inclined to that belief. The Tribesmen wind up their sertea here Sunday, after which they will move over to St. Paul to take on th leading Kelleyites. Manager Hendricks hopes to have one or more new pitchers by tbe time the team crosses tne river, and fans in tha twin cities then will get a line on tha true ability of the club. Duke Reilley arrived in tlm® yesterday to participate in the game, and although he displayed some flashy fielding, his batting eye was somewhat rusty and he failed to land a safety.
