FOREIGN " MEN "WANT A CHANCE aa n iii i g European Battlers Would Like to Try for Heavyweight Cham pionship Crown. ' By Don K. Chamberlain I ONDON, April 12. (U. P.) (By Mall) American monopolization Of J the world s heavyweight championship may soon be challenged : by Britain or France. ., . . ' While Americans are centering their attention on the coming battle between Jess Willard and. Jack Pempsey, Britain has been quietly staging a series, of elimination . contests among its best, heavies, with a view to pitting the best man against Georges Carpentler, famous French fighter. So far the contests have resulted in placing Joe Beckett, who served through the war as a non-commissioned f officer In the British air force, at the top of the list, and the elimination of Bombardier Wells, who lost the British championship to Beckett in February. " Goddard In Way ' Only one man stands In the way of Beckett getting a crack at Carpentler. He is Frank Goddard. They wilt meet soon. "The winner -will meet Carpentler in a- 20 . round bout here in the autumn for the European championship. The winner 6f this bout will invade the Unit ed States under the direction of Charles . B. Cochran. , wealthy , theatrical man and1 a keen fight fan. - ' Cochran :has been instrumental in booming the "fight game here and it is not unlikely he would be willing to put up a Dig purse for a Pane bout with an American before a london crowd. There Is good reason to believe a bout- with Willard or Dempsey. may be staged. Just what chances any of these Euro pean stars would have against, Willard or Dempsey is hard to figure. Carpen tler looks fit and the question would be whether his cleverness would be able to offset the weight of his American oppo nent. A match between Mike Gibbons and Carpentler would probably be .more Interesting from a scientific standpoint. Such a scrap Is not improbable, as Eddie Kane, Mike's manager, told the United Press when he was abroad that he hal had an offer to match Gibbons with the Frenchman. It was proposed to atar the; fight here. Beckett a Fighter i Beckett Is more of a fighter than he 14 a boxer. His best punch is a left hook; But he also has a good right. He doesn't wait. He Is at his man from the start, j British fans would like to see Beckett meet Willard. Jess isn't overly-loved by. British sporting critics, who seem to think he has the money Itch. . i But give these; Britons reason to be lieve one of their countrymen- has a chance to cop the title and , Willard or Dempsey may have a chance to gather in a fortune. Kf forts to match Jimmy Wilde, the flyweight champion, w ith Pal Moore, the American bantam, are still being made. Cochran aays the only hitch is the -unreasonable tfrms'V Moore demands. Philadelphia Will s Build Motordrome Philadelphia is to have n. new -nioior drome at Point Creese Park. It will be a six-lap to the mile, track. It will fol-i low the same plan as the Ponce de Leon motordrome of Paris; the speedway be ing ewgshaped.T having, two 165-yard straightaways, with ; two hairpin turns.

Pirates HUGO BEZDEK faced much the -sapie. kind of a problem that ,' other major league managers . were called upon to face when the train ing season opened uncertainty whether or not solne of 'the players he was depending on would be mun tered out of the service in time , to start the 1919 campaign. ' Two of the Pirates in service, and both in France when the team . went to Birmingham, were Pitchers Elmer Ponder and Harold Carlson. Carlson, in particular, looks pood to Bezdek. . Then there. '.were other, players who were figured as uncer tain ties. Bill McKechnie, one of Hugo's infielders, decided at. the last moment to quit - the game and go into business. Sweeney to Help The Pirate catching staff was an other bugbear confronting the eret- -while great backfield man pt the ' Chicagxi university football champs of other days. Finally. a trade, was ' made with Toledo which assured the Pirates of a seasoned catcher to' help Schmidt and Smith. Tae Pirates got Kd Sweeney, the veteran ex-Yankee, trading Hoko Warner and Gus GeU to Toledo for the backstop. ' - -. With the catching staff rounded out by Sweeney's addition the -Pirates seem pretty well . fixed, though none of their bis mitt artistst,' is exceptionally brilliant. 2i v .The infield, as jt win probably be made up when Plttsbarg opens- the season, will consist of Mollwitz' on Star Ball Player .

Class In Oatfield The Pittsburg nutfield, with Sten gel, Carey,- Soutbworth and King to play the role of fly-chasers, has class. Stengel and Carey are among ine oesi outtieiaers m their league, whiU Southworth and King, both young , players, have shown ten dencies to slug the ball that Indi cates they will make a lot of trouble for opposition pitching this year. Bezdek wanted Davey Robertson to complete his outfield trio, butJrt there was little r no chance for the Pirates to get the former Giant.
