Daniels started for the Buffaloes, "tut after the visitors annexed three run: on five hits, a walk and a sac- lifice in one and two-thirds innings, Iturch jerked the southpaw and trot "ted out Mead.

Georges Carpen tier, apparently more than ever the idol of the French sporting public because of his gallant attempt to capture the world s heavyweight championship, was given a hero's reception upon his arrival in Paris at noon .today from the United States. The St. Lazare railway station at which the French boxer's train pulled in was crowded with his ad mirers, and as Carpentier appeared palpably surprised by the enthusi asm of his reception and affected al most to tears, he was captured by the surging crowd and borne against his will through the side doer of the station and along the Rue Londres. Meanwhile the crowd which had waited outside the station, not know ing their favorite had made his exit through another than the main door, pushed and jammed about the build ing for nearly half an hour after his departure, clogging the thorough fares in the vicinity and dispersing only when the news spread that Carpentier had come and gone. That part of the crowd which had gained possession of Carpentier, and with shouts of "carry him in tri umph," had borne him to the street, swept aside the police line and rushed along the thoroughfares. Several doors and windows in the neighborhood were crushed in by the pressure of the throng. Police reinforcements finally fought their way to the center of the crowd and asked Carpentier politely to make the rest of his journey home in a taxicab the police had brought so that the crowd would disperse. Carpentier arrived at Havre last night from New York with the in tention of spending several weeks in France before again visiting the United States next fall. Tennis Player Must Be in Good Physical Condition to Play New York, July 23. (Special.) Vincent Richards says that too much cannot be said on the value of training for a tennis player. No matter how much a player knows the game of tennis, if his physical condition is not up to par he is lost. "I know of no game where con dition counts for so much as in ten nis," said Richards. "In base ball, foot ball, golf, boxing and basket ball there is, or may be, a chance for 'stalling,' but how, if you are playing a good man, can you do this in ten nis?" ' Durland Defeats Charles Mathewson In Tennis Tourney Norfolk, Neb., July 23. (Special Telegram.) Charles A. Durland of Norfolk beat Charles Mathewson of Walthill in the singles of the North east Nebraska Tennis tournament here yesterday. Mathewson is the former singles champion.

Hit by pitched ball: By Mitchell, Fournler. certain saints were going to protect Georges, how visions had revealed him as victor, how destiny had elect ed to lift him to the ultimate heights of the world of knuckle whirling. For months and yet more months before the little jamboree was dis played before the naked eye of a throne in Jersey City there was heap much conversation on "the man of destiny" stuff. Those who were of ficial press agents for the French false alarm made heroic play on the fact that fate had willed that he should win. They cited one instance after another to prove that fate had guided him along unerringly over manv obstacles to a chance with Dempsey. Punch, Not Destiny. "And now," they chanted, "fate will carry him through to triumph." But fate or destiny or maybe it was Dempsey s punching played dear old Georges a scurvy trick, A week before the fight publicity was given to a vision wmcn me mother of Georges was supposed to have had. She saw her boy drop the champion to the landscape in the very first round. There the vision became a little kindly as far as Dempsey was concerned. It gave him a chance to rise up and fight it out through the balance of the round, It also willed him an upright posi tion all through the second. But in the third the vision planted some sort of a wallop upon Demp sey. Down he went. The referee counted up to 10 stopped and then a sportive world acclaimed Georges the king pin battler of the universe. Pretty dream, wasn't it? "Saints Protect Georges." "The saints will protect Carpen tier," was among the news items that helped to scuttle sport pages with fistic news just prior to the melee. It appears that France didn't have a vision monopoly. Some one in the dear old U. S. A. had also done some visioning and had discovered during the process that the saints were going to save Georges from being hammered cuckoo. Just where the story started no one knows. And just why it was spread is also a mystery. But,' un doubtedly, the hired press agents of the Frenchman engineered the whole thirig; resorted to the use of religion in the hope of inspiring within Denipfey a certain fear; to make him think heaven itself was against him and that the best thing he could do would be to take it on the chin early in the battle and go down and out rather than fight against a com bination of Carpentier and saints It is in the nature of sacrilege that men attempt to mix religion to provoke superstitous fear into a prize right. And the men wno were behind the idea and put it through should be kicked out of the game. Spread "Fake" Stories. All through the week prior to the battle stories were chased around bearing the date lines of different towns which told about so-and-so who never pieked a loser since Paddy Ryan's time, choosing the Frenchman, of men who never lost a bet in their lives who were bet ting the kitchen range and every thing else on the Frenchman to win. The yarns, in the main, were bunk nothing else. They were simply the psychology stuff with which the French gang heped to win a fight from the greatest individ ual fighting force the world has ever known. The articles, perhaps, were written in one office and sent out to the newspapers with different date lines and at different limes. The battle, i it accomplished noth ing more, certainly had kicked the props forever from under the super stitious belief that some people have and nulled for all time the value of destiny and similar hokum in de termining a battle.

Time of dame; 1:60. Entirely too many fans have an idea that umpires stick to their bad decisions out of sheer bullheaded ness. Those fans are wrong. Every umpire time and again in the season understands in a flash alter he has decided one way that he should have decided another, but if he reversed himself, thus encouraging kicks, pro tests and delays, he would lose his job in short order. Very few fans stop to consider why the rule against umpires revers ing themselves on decisions of fact is almost as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, but the rule is absolutely necessary it any ball game is to be tinished in less time than is required for one of those three-day cricket matches. If umpires were to heed arguments, proofs, and figures and reverse them selves, they would do nothing 'but hold court, and tew ball games would go more than one inning, as enough disputed decisions wculd or dinarily arise in the first round to keep the ump engaged ill the rest of the afternoon.
