'YOUNG GIANT HURLER
HAS BRAND NEW CURVE
NF'\A YORK, Dec. 21. -As a matter of
fact, the news which we are now about
to emit would appear much more natural
and lifelike under a Marlin, Tex., date
line along about February 25, 1913, but
we feel that the public should not be de
nied certain details at this time in order
to lessen the shock when the complete
truth is made known from the training
camp.
Ferd—that's a name—Schupp (which is
also a tag line) Ferd Schupp, a new left
| handed pitcher who was dug up for Mc
| Graw last season out of the Wisconsin-
Illinois league, is said to have solved the
problem which has been studied by pitch
ers for fifty years how tn throw a ris
ing curve.
Marquard and other pitchers have a fast
ball with a “hop,” and Joe McGinnity
used to start a ball along the ground that
seemed to swoop upward, but this Schupp
party is said to have a real rising curve
a curve that changes from a straight
ball to a perceptible arc upward.
It has always been possible to throw
this curve with an indoor baseball or
even with an outdoor or regulation base
ball gripped in the same way as the in
dooor pitcher grips the ball, but an out
door ball thrown that way will rarely
travel more than 40 feet and without any
speed.
Schupp—Ferd Schupp—has so mastered
the ball, it is alleged, that he can put a
terrific amount of smoke behind ii and
still keep the rising curve.

NURSING BROKEN
HAND, 8. PAPKE
QUITS FRANCE
By Ed. W. Smith.
BILLY PAPKE is coming home
after all. He is bringing with
him a broken right hand and a
championship belt. Also he has the
satisfaction before leaving of hav
ing received the indorsement of
Europe in his claims of being the
middleweight champion of the
world.
Bill likes that belt pretty well,
but his right hand has proved a
terrible setback to him. He re
ceived it in an exhibition bout, and
it forced him to give up eight weeks
of the most lucrative theatrical
work he could possibly get. He was
to receive $750 a week for exhibi
tions pending the time for his bat
tles with Frank Klaus and Georges
Carpentier.
Gets Matches Abroad.
In a little while we will know all
about it. for Rill is due here now
almost any minute. Doubtless the
home folks will be much gratified
to gaze upon that gold and ivory
belt that the French promoters gave
him as one of the rewards for his
having whipped Carpentier, cham
pion of Europe, in their recent en
counter. Also they will gaze with
awe upon that injured right tist.
Al Lippe, Papke’s European man
tiger. has hooked the Kewanee stat
up for two great matches on the
other side. Papke will battle Frank
Klaus, the Pittsburg German, in
Paris on March u, that match being
now signed for and duly sealed. It
proved to be a match that required
a lot of diplomacy in the making
and was on and off a half-dozen
times before it was finally clinched
with forfeits.
Gets $12,500 for Bouts.
Some time during the latter part
of March Papke is to give Carpen
tier a return engagement, this con
test being slated for Monte Carlo,
it also is clinched up with for
feits.
Papke Is to receive $5,000, win
or lose, for the Klaus match, and
$7,500 tor the Carpentier battle, also
irrespective of the result. The Klaus
match will be at the middleweight
limit of 158 pounds, while he will
allow Carpentier to come in at 165
pounds, as the French boy is grow
ing rapidly and discovered recently
that he no longer can make the lim
it figures.
In a letter Lippe again insists
that Papke is best of all entitled to
be called the middleweight cham
pion of the world. Lippe points out
that he whipped Jim Sullivan,
champion of England, wiped out all
of the black marks against him in
Australia, trimmed Carpentier, who
was regarded as the champion of
Europe, and is open to meet any of
them. Eddie McGoorty preferred.

21. —At its fourth session
this Week, the advisory board
of Virginia’s general athletic asso
ciation yesterday afternoon partial
ly completed the 1913 football
schedule by booking the above
named games. The remaining dates
will be filled at the next meeting
of the board to be held after the
Christmas recess.
No decision was reached in re
gard to a contest with Princeton or
Harvard, because of a message
from Cambridge that the crimson
football schedule would not be
taken up until after the holidays,
probably as late as the middle of
January.
By taking on Georgia. Virginia
will next year battle witli two of
the leading teams of the S. 1. A. A.,
as Vanderbilt is to come to Char
lottesville the first Saturday in No
vember for a return game. Van
derbilt was declared the best team
in all the Southland the past sea
son. while 'Georgia and Auburn
. were conceded to have equal claim
for second honors. Virginia will go
to Atlanta October 25. to meet
Georgia.
Washington and Lee was offered
the same date —October 25 —of the
Orange and Blue schedule, but im
posed such conditions regarding
games in future years that Virginia
felt unwilling to delay Georgia any
longer, so proceeded to close with
the Crackers.

NELSON COMES TO LIFE
AND WHIPS JIM BONNER
TAMAQUA, PA.. Dec. 21. In one of
the best ten-round battles ever wit
nessed in this section, former Champion
Battling Nelson defeated Jim Bonner,
the pride of the coal regions.
Nelson fought in the same fashion that
made him the champirfn of the world. He
had Bonner holding on in every round,
and in the third and fifth floored the lo
cal man. Bonner is looked upon as one
••f the gamest fighters in the state, and
most pugilists would have thrown up the
sponge.
