Courage of Georges Carpentier
Shown in Great War.
x
American Fight Fans Thought He Had
Streak of Yellow on Account of
Actions In Fight Years Ago
With Billy Papke.
Most American followers of box
iir linvo always had an Idea that
flcorges Carpcntlor, heavyweight
champion of Europo and greatcflt idol
in the history of French sports, hns
icry qualification of a boxing cham
pion with tho excoptlon of gamoncas.
This wub particularly Impressed on
their minds when ho quit to Hill
Papko, former world's mlddlowelght
champion, In 17 rounds In Paris a
few years ago. However, this Idea
has been proved false slnco tho great
est Huropcan war started. Carpen
tier s European record In tho big
strugglo has shown him to bo a man
of unusual courage.
Within Gun Range.
During the early months of tho war
Carpentier was used as a messenger.
It was his duty to carry messages on
a motorcyclo from one goncral to an
other. Often ho was obliged to come
mighty close to the cnomy's guns in
fact, near enough to forfeit his life if
he came In tho path of stray bulleti
ns he was frequently within range
What do you think he is doing
now' And It Is tho supremo test of
lourngo. Ho Is piloting ono of those
airships that linvo to go up many
thousands of feet In tho air and get
n lino on where tho Oermnns nnd I
U8tiians are situated At nny time I
hn is In dancer of having his raa-
chine struck by shot and then It is
n case of "farowell, proud earth."
Tho woilc of bolng a "chauffeur In
the sky" Is tho most hazardous of all
duties that a soldier can perform.

war times tho dangorB of losing bla
life nra multiplied.
To Be Honored.
If Carpontlor's life Is spared, and
tho warring nations lay down their
arms, ho will probably become ono of
tho most prominent figures in Europe,
and it would bo no supriso if tho
Kronen government conferred Bomo
high ofllcjal honors upon him maybe
some big Job In tho employ of tho
nation, t
Carpentier la ono of tho most pic
turesque figures in tho history of
sport. ,Ho tqok up boxing when It
whs Inaugurated In Franco, and won
championship after championship un

has the lionor of holding overy ring
tltlo from flyweight to the topwolght
olnss.
He won on a foul from Ounboat
Smith in London early last summer
and earned n fortune for this victory.
TJio result caused all kinds of dis

Yalo's football prospects are bright
er Just now than for many, many
years, and tho Ell enthusiasts nro sure
that tho Bulldog will como back Into
his own this year.
Yale was hit by graduation last
Juno and hit In qulto a number of
placos. But Yule Isn't groggy as a re
sult. With tho oxceptlon of Captain
Talbott, Yalo doesn't seem to havo
lost any man thut sho will miss or
mourn. Tho ubsonteos were among
the best Yalo had last year but
Yalo's best In 1911 was not up to tho
Yalo standard.
Lack of real footballers handicapped
Coach Frank Illnkey last year and
It was that that enabled Harvard to
glvo Yalo tho worst beating It has
suffered In all Its football history.
But this year things nro different.
Yale Has Great Backflcld.
Tho Ynlo backflold for 191fj seems
sure to gain famo as ono of tho greatest
In tho country. Alex Wilson, captain, Is
a certainty for quartorback; Guernsey
will bo at loft half, Scovll, a terrific
lino smasher, will play tho cither half,
and tho wonderful Hnrry LitCloro will
bo at full. f
Wilson and LoGorc wcro regulars
last year; Scovll and Guemsoy wcro
first-string substitutes. Yet tho four
played together ofton onough to per
fect team work, and with lllnlfoy to
school them further In tho trlckcrloa
of tho open gamo, and with tho quar
tet ranking as ono of the spocdlest
In tho game,' there's a promise that
some billllaut and dazzling plays will
featuro tho operations of tho Yalo
backflold.
LcGoro will do tho punting and the
drop-kicking, as ho did last year, un
less Illnkey finds n "rooklo" who Is
better, which seems almost outsldo of
tho range of possibilities. Wilson and
Guernsey boot with eclat, power and
accuracy, and can do tho relief work
whenever called upon.
Brnnu and HUlman, onds, and Con
roy and White, linesmen, uro among
tho men that Yalo lost In Juno. But
none of them ranked as stars.
Knowlos and Alnsworth also wore
graduated. Both woro good halfbacks,
but Scovll and Guernsey look good
onough to hold down their Jobs.
lllnkoy has loft from tho 1911 team
enough linesmen to form tho nucleus
of a stonewall lino this year. The
sophomore class of 11)15 will send to
him as candidates at lonst ten cnndl-
1 datoB who uro sure of being In tho bat-
tlo for Hue Jobs. .
Hlnkey Alms for Speed.
"Tho backflold always has been my
greatest worry," said Hinkoy. "I al
ways feel that whon 1 havo n power

Boston Team Made No Bid for Players
In Recent Draft President Lan-
nln Is Satisfied.
Tho Itcd Sox, tho pennant win
ners In tho American loaguo this year,
will go Into noxt season virtually un
changed. President J. J. Lnnnln said
thnt ho did not bid for a single plnyer
in tho drnft recently held at Cincin
nati. "Tho team," ho nddod, "Is a perfect
playing pioposltion as now consti
tuted." Boston, however, has five players
not considered regular members of
tho team who will be candidates for
placos noxt year. These arc Pcnnock,
formerly of tho Athletics, and Coop
er, onco of tho Now Yorks, both
pitchers; Ilaloy, a catcher; McNally,
an lnfleldor, and Shorten, an outfield
er. Thoy woro sent to tho Providence
Internationals during tho season and
recalled. Thoy aro now with tho
Boston club and mostly aro being
used to lighten tho task of tho men
who expect to be called upon to faco
tho Philadelphia Nationals In tho
world's tltlo tests.
INQ MOTOR is conquering
PIko'a Poak. More than a
century ngo Lieut. Zobulou
Montgomery Plko discovered
tho mountain which now
bears his name, end, accompanied
by his little band, mudo a de
termined effort to "each Its summit.
It cost him ten days ,ot marching to
reach Its baso, and after a laborious
ascont which brought him only to tho
crest of ono of tho noarby mountains,
ho was forced to glvo up the attempt,
predicting In his diary that no human
would over scalo Its rocky holghts.
Thlrtoon years later, howover, Dr. Ed
win Jamos with a portion of tho ex
ploration party under MaJ. S. II. Long,
found an easier approach from tho
caBtorn side and after a hazardous
climb reached the summit on July 14,
1819.
Then camo tho United States gov
ernment engineers who constructed a
winding trail from Manltou to the top
of tho great mountain nnd built there
an experimental station that study
might bo mado of weather conditions
threo miles above sea level. This
led to the building of a carriage road
from Cascndo in Utc pass to tho top
of tho mountain; and almost simul
taneously thero came tho cog railroad.
It was built in 1890, making tho ascent
In nlno miles from Its Manltou depot.
This Is ono of tho most famous of tho
world's mountain railroads.
And now In 1915 pomes the supremo
conquest of tho mighty peak. Tho con
structive ability of the American en
gineer hns won another triumph, for
slnco Septomber 1, automobiles havo
boon traveling on the "World's High
est Highway" to a point within live
miles of tho plnnaclo of tho mountain;
nnd construction gangs arc pushing
rapidly the grado of this road through
bowlder Holds way abovo timber lino
to tho summit. On the first day of
September thero was opened to trnvel
tho first twelvo miles of tho highway,
which connects with tho PIko's Peak
Ocean-to-Ocean Highway in Uto pass
at Cascade, ten miles west of Colorado
Springs and five miles west of Man
itou. Built by Private Capital.
Boforo congress closed Its sixty-
It Is 27 miles from Colorado Springs
to tho top of PIko's Peak by tho now
road. Tho actual highway is 17 miles
In length from tho point where It runs
Into tho PIko's Peak occan-to ocean
highway In Uto pass, at an elevation
of 7,415 feet, so that Us total rlso la
C.74G feet. Tho averago grado is six
degrees with a maximum of ton do
grecs, nnd thero are only two placos
where tho grado does not rise.
Safety and Convenience.
Tho road bed Is 20 feet wide and
this Is Increased to 2G feet on curves,
muking It possible to bo double
tracked all tho way, with frequent
"turnout" or stopping places provided
In case of tiro or engine troublo. The
bridges, with concrete parapets, aro
located on tangents, so they may be
seen at a distance of 300 feet. Thoy
arc built of steel and concrete. Signs
convoying cautions have been erected
along tho route. Six water stations
have been established at Intervals of
three miles for cooling nnd refilling
purposes, and gasoline stations aro lo
cated at tho road's terminals. Expert
ropalr men aro always at hand for
duty and telegraph and telephone serv
ices nro installed, Insuring communi
cation along tho entire trip.
Tho highway will bo open to any
motor car, and automobilo men
claim that any good driver will bo
ablo to mako tho trip.
Undoubtedly tho Pike's Poak high
way takes Us place as tho greatest
and highest In tho world. Stelvlo
pass, tho highest carrlngo road in Eu
rope. In the Alps between Italy and
Austria, has never been opened to the
automobile.
While thero wero many difficulties
tho construction of this highway wa3
not a hard task for tho modern engi
neer. For part of tho way from Cas
cade it follows the general lino of the
old carriage road built In 1888.
Scenery Is Unexcelled.
Every milo of tho highway to tho
summit is crowded with scenic inter
est. From Colorado Springs tho
routo goes through beautiful Manltou
and then Into Uto pass, a 30-mile cleft
in tho mountain down which tho Uto
IndlanB used to como to Manltou
to drink of tho mineral waters there.

Jack Doyle, who Bcoutcd for J:

a good story how Connie Mack
got DavlcB, now ono of tho Ath

"I got a tip about Davics last y
year, says uoyic, -nnu i
watched him In several games
up In Now England. Then I fol
lowed him to his homo In Now
Uamp8htro nnd decided to sign
him for Comlskoy.
"As Davics was under age, I
had to call In his relatives to

tract. His father, mother, sis
terB, brothers, cousins and aunts
wero all thero whon I fished out
tho document. Then, to my ns
