'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. FRANCE PAYS $16,000 FOR BELMONT STALLION PARIS.

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.

VA„ Dec. 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.
