THERE'S SAFETY SECURITY AND SERVICE ON THE

and play, since the bunch led by
Stewart will surely use the McGu
gin style of attack. Os course, al!
who take part will be forever bar
red from the 8. 1. A. A„ but then
every man jack of them has served
his time under the rules of that or
ganization, and really has nothing
to lose, on one hand, while on tiic
oiner there is a healthy addition to
the bank account.
’I he fever of the game lias spread
rapidly, and Stewart's mail has
been extremely heavy, so numer
ous are the applicants for positions,
so that the revised lineup appears
to be something like this:
* ■•liters— Adams, Mississippi, and
Burns, Auburn.
Guards Metzger, Vanderbilt;
Covington Vanderbilt. Swafford.

Among the stars in the Texas
eleven are Bowler and Lambert,
crack linesmen on this year’s Texas
A. and M. team, and Captain Bell,
of last year’s team.
'YOUNG GIANT HURLER
HAS BRAND NEW CURVE
NEW YoRK, Dec. 21. As a matter of I
tact, 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 2b, 1913. but
w F e feel that tiie 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
j also a tag line.) —Ferd Schupp, a new left
| handed pitcher who was dug up for Mc
i draw last season out of the Wisconsin
j Illinois league, is said to have solved the
I problem which has been studied by bitch
: ers for fifty years how tn throw a ris
ing curve.
Marquard and oil.er pitchers have a fast
ball with a “hop.'' and Joe McGlnnity
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 it and
• still keep the rising curve.

NUHSING BROKEN
HAND, 8. PAPKE
QUITS FRANCE
By Ed. W. Smith.
ILLY PAPKE is coining home
i after all. He is bringing with
him a broken right hand and a
B
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 bell pretty well,
but his right hand has proved a
terrible setback to him. Ho re
ceived it in an exhibition bout, and
it forced him to give up eight we.-ks
of the mos't lucrative theatrical
work he could possibly get. He was
to receive STSO a week for exhibi
tions pending the time for his bat
tles with Frank Klaus and G 'urges ,
< 'arpentier.
Gets Matches Abroad.
in a little while we will know all
about it, for Bill is due here non
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
havlng whipped <’arpentier. cham
pion of Europe, in their recent en
counter. Also they will gaze with
awe upon that injured right list.
Al Lippe, Papke’s European man
ager. has hooked the Kewanee star
up for two gwat matches on the
other side. Papke will battle Frank
Klaus, the Pittsburg German, in
Paris on March 15, 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
r .600 for 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
chat he whipped Jim Sullivan,
champion of England, wiped out all
of the black marks against him in
Australia! trimmed Carpefitier. who
was regarded as the champion of
Europe, and is open to meet any* of
them, Eddie McGoorty preferred.
