BASEBALL,

FOUL BY GUNBOAT III SIXTH ROUND DEFEATSAMERICAN Referee Awards Carpentier Decision When Excited Frenchmen Swarm Over Ropes After Smith's Blow. LONDON, July 17.- Another American went abroad seeking pugilistic honors and clime back without them. Gunboat Smith, who met Georges Carpentier, the best and only fighter the French have ever contributed to the game, lost the decision in their bout last night on fouls. The end of the scheduled twentyround battle came in the sixth when Smith was disqualified by a foul blow, about which the referee and the fans are uncertain They hardly know how or whew the blow was struck. The popular judgment awarded Carpentier the better of the fight on its merits. Pitted against such a powerful antagonist as Smith, it was evident that jfbe Frenchman's marvelous quickness had not been exaggerated. He showed a left lead like a flash of lightning and a powerful and equally swift right. His footwork was wonderful, and although Smith wa3 remarkably quick for a big man, he was noticeably slower than his younger opponent. Excitement Runs High. When the French contingent car ried Carpentier to his corner in the sixth round the utmost confusion reigned. The ring was crowded with excited officials and seconds, and thousands of spectators were on their feet shouting and groaning. In this round, Carpentier, after playing for an opening, while keenly watching the American's right, had feinted cleverly with his left and then brought a powerful right across Smith's jaw. The punch did not land squarely, or in the mix-up Smith landed and Carpentier slipped to his knees. Quickly Smith's right shot forth. He drew back and plainly would have withheld the blow on second thought. Then he stepped back and waited for the Frenchman to rise. Not Sure About Blow. Just what happened to Gunboat's right is likely to be an everlasting cause of controversy. The men nearest to the ring disagree widely. Some say that It jolted Carpentier's spine hard at the back of the neck; some say It Just grazed the neck, and others say it missed entirely. The Frenchman's manager, Descamps, climbed through the ropes, with seconds following, and picked up the fighter, who was holding his head In a dramatic manner with both hands. Descamps carried Carpentier to the corner, where he made a great business of rubbing and restoring him. and then, turning to the American fighter, poured forth a stream of excited French invective. French and American camp followers poured into the ring and surrounded the referee, Eugene Corri. Shouts of "Foul, foul," were raised. Everybody talked to the referee at once, and the referee pointed to Carpentier, indicating that the Frenchman was the winner. Unable to grasp his decision until the master of ceremonies, by bellow ing and pointing to Carpentier, managed to make the result known, Gunboat Smith stood in his corner in a green robe, reluctant to leave the ring, while hundreds hooted him. Finally he climbed out. Carpentier was brought to the ropes and thousands raised a great cheer for the Frenchman. The enthusiasm of the house, from the white-shirted aristocrats on the floor to the white-chapel costers in the highest galleries, was with the French champion from the moment he stepped into the ring. Frenchman Is Strong. In the first round it seemed as if the American's superior strength would tell, but through the next three the Frenchman let himself -out and 6howed power behind his blows apparently equal to the American's and with greater speed. He landed a number of telling blows on the face and body with hands and sent Smith down In a heap with a right to the kidneys inlhe fourth. The big American was willing to gain time, getting to his feet only after eight seconds, just as the bell ended the round. GIVES DECISION EATON, O., July 17.

SPIKES NECESSARY

TO BALL PLAYERS Menke Answers Fans Sug gestion to Eliminate Danger of Sliding. By FRANK G. MENKE. The Federal league folks who are aiming to please the fans might make a master stroke if they introduced free score cards at their parks. The idea of paying, for scorecardg at the ball games appeals to most fans in the nature of a holdup. Why should the fans be compelled to pay for score cards? Why aren't they eiven awav free the same as theatre programs? If the Feds ever get toeether a real ball team in Brooklyn the Ward fam ily s team will outdraw the Dodgers 3 to 1, no matter what the attraction the. Dodgers are staging. The Wards have made a hit with the Brooklyn fana. They gave away some souvenirs to both sexes of the fans that attended the Fourth of July game there. They have reduced the prices and in stead of forcing the bleacherite to sit In the uncovered seats originally de signed for them, the Wards have invited the 26 cent fan to sit in the covered stands where he can enjoy a game without being broiled. 8liding Best Feature. A fan has just issued forth with the suggestion that sliding into the bases be eliminated from baseball. He points out that many of the games greatest aura have been forced out of the line-up for days and weeks because of injuries received by the spikes of the opposing base runners. The suggestion, although good in one sense, cannot be adopted. To eliminate sliding from baseball would eliminate one of the best features of the game. It would reduce base stealing to a minimum because a player who waa barred from sliding the final eight or ten feet of his pilfering journey, wouldn't take the chance ol making the base. Some years ago it was suggested that the sharp steel spikes used by ball players be replaced with leather blocks on the soles of the shoes, on much the same style that golfers and football players use. But experiment with these showed that they were almost without value as they did not dig into the ground deep enough to aid the base runner. In fact, they burrowed only the slightest fraction of an inch because of their rather blunt points, and the bae runner found that instead of being aided, his speed was retarded. O. B. Yells Traitor. Every time an organized baseball player jumps to the Feds or begins flirting -with the Feds, the O. B. mag nates at once shriek about his "trait orous actions." They assert that this player owes a certain loyalty to the fans and to his owners and that he is committing a horrible crime by outwitting them, or even thinking about it. The O. B. magnates always lay par ticular stress upon the disloyalty that is shown to the fans by the player who jumps which is a bit of grandstand play that fans can see through without the aid of their spectacles. When the magnate sees a chance to trade or ell one of his stars, he doesn't consult the fans as to whether they want the deal put through. He just swaps. He figutes that the deal will serve his own Interests. And that is the way the jumping player feels.. If a player can get about twice as much money for his services from one man as he is getting from another, why shouldn't he change jobs? This "loyalty to the fans" is a lot of bunk. He 1b their hero one day if he performs well. And the next day, if he fails to hit in a pinch, or hobbles at a crucial moment, he is hiaaed and hooted. No one knows this better than the ball player, and that is why he is tempted by a larger offer from the Federal league.

The wonderful cures that are being made by this remarkable new remedy are almost beyond belief. A young lady from Ottumwa, la., for many years suffered from a bad case of eczema. Her face was a sight to behold; all covered with red blotches, pustules and pimples. So unsightly was her appearance she gave up all social life. Falling to find relief with doctors and remedies, she became despondent and discouraged. After a few weeks' treatment with Amolox the scaly redness disappeared, pustules healed and she was entirely cured. A few months following her mother wrote that Amolox had done wonders for her daughter, and she was married last week. Seems like a fairy tale, doesn't it? Yet this Ib the truth. This is only one of the many cases that are being reported in towns where Amolox has been introduced and its merits have become known. Amolox is invaluable for eczema, psoriasis, acne, tetter, barber's Itch, red nose or any skin affliction. Recommended and guaranteed by A. G. Luken St o.

The only trouble with the game to be played at Connersville Sundya between Richmondand the Connersville Grays will be "to much Richmond." At least that is the way the locals are sizing up the situation, and they say they are almost counting on a slaughter. If Vordenburg pitches anything like the quality of ball he delivered last Sunday against Elmwood. the predictions as to the outcome ot Sunday's game will not be far amiss. A number of local fans will accompany the team to Connersville Sunday. The team is confident of victory, and says it is only a matter of how large a score to pile up. The same line-up will be used Sunday as was used against Elmwood last Sunday. Bulgarian buttermilk, recommended by the doctors. You get it ice cold at Price's.
