'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.

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.
