Paris, Dec. 15. That Carj.entier is suffering from a -high dollar fever" and that Manager Francois Dsramos no longer considers the champion as a boxer, but as human capital w-hi.-h he exploits, are points outlined in a letter received by 'he sporting editor or IAuto, in which the correspondent asks that Carpentier fight again in his own country before his intended retire ment. The letter, as published bv L,'Aino. after referring to the Carpen-tier-Siki fight previous to which Des camps stated that Georges was ready to meet the Senegalese on i-nnriirinn i that Siki first liofir "Viloa t. cwo French heavyweight?, reads: "The reason why the Carpentier-Sild i Project raises such controversies is not i so much that Carpentier fears Siki, out rather because Descamps. knowing that the fight would have to be staged m Paris, simply fears the small purse m francs is nothing compared to a purse in dollars. Descamps today no longer considers Carpentier as a box er, but as hliniMii canital -nrl-,;!, 1, wants to exploit to a maximum. Since Carpentier received about two million francs for his Dempsey fight. Des camps ignores French fans who could only offer a purse of a few hundred thousand. "Hut Carpentier should not forget that he reached his high standing of today thanks to the encouragement he received irom the French public and French promoters. With this thought in mind, he should never have crea ted the paradox of a French cham pion, who. for more than two years, has not fought in his own country. He has an excellent epportunity of' fight ing in France now with Siki. He should accept the fight, and. when he retires in the near future, as he in tends doing, he will leave behind him the memory of a loyal and courageous boxer instead, as many will easily be lievc. that of a business man." Where ignorance to be blissful. is bliss, 'tis folly GAMECOCK GRIDIRON SCHEDULE COMPLETE Columbia, S C, Dec. 15.

You arc now X'ntinnal rr..n Champion the highest golf honor in the countiw." Freddie is one of the most interest ing golf stars of the country. I last saw Freddie "the wee bit o' Scotch" last Summer at the National Open m Washington, where he is professional at the Columbia Country Club, at Chevy Chase. My personal acquaintance with him began when he was employed at Midlothian, but his reputation had pre- ueutu mm. tie is only five feet six inches in height and weighs hut 128 pounds. The distance and rhythm of is shots come as a surprise, when one considers the slight figure that pro vides the energy for .them. His remark abfe success ought to be a great en couragement to all men who fear they are laciortg in the strength necessary to good golf. Freddie was born in North Berwick, Scotland, in 1882. Perhaps it was the soundness or nis early training in North Berwick that accounted for his early success in this country. I have been at that lovely spot in Scotland and I have seen the smallest cf boys with golf clubs in their hands and without doubt Freddie grew up in just that way. I think that be must have come to this country somewhere around 1904, for the first notice of his appearance in competition was in 1905 in the Western Open at Cincinnati when he finished fifth. For the next ten years he was :'n the first ranks of professionals with a good chance to beat any one f them. He won the National Open in 190S at MvoDia after a tip xvith AVillio c:,-Mn One Of the srreatesf nlnvprs of fl-.r-m nTi and that very year Willis had set a new record at St. .Andi-pn-s in ihn r.u: LOpen. It was a bik triumnh for Fred die. Lake Robert Gardner, he won the national but was never able to carry ft the Western championship. Twice, however, he reached second place, c.ice at Hinsdale, and another time at Nor mandie. St. Louis. He has won the United North and South rar,-iiiinrr;r, I Pinehurst. the Florida Open, and many I'tner events. iwicc, in 1 910 at Phila delphia and in 1911 at Chicago, he was fourth because three other players had lied for first. Sucha difference one lit tle stroke makes. During these vears hp vmtirmnl1 took part in all the open events and, be- mg in such demand for exhibition events, he traveled in all parts of the country. It was said that in 1915 he had traveled 10,000 miles to compete m golf tournaments. His professional engagements were, among others, at Rockford. Illinois, Midlothian. Chicago. San A ntonio. St. Louis, New Orleans. ' i Freddie McLeod has a remarkably ! low cut-shot that only he of all the' "pros." seems to be able to make wors. ! Perhaps the others are afraid, for it re-1 enures bold and accurate hitting, and the slightest miss means a world of trou ble. I heard him sav at Baltusmi i;mt he had not been off the course oncj m 72 holes. Aye. mon: Freddie McL-ol is a grand little player. And now he proposes to lay tournament golf aside. The fact is that tournament golf is geod for one's reputation, but bad for one's purse. It is the steady teaching side of golf that pays. Surely the club tint employs him now is fortunate, for ins experience will be, invaluable to his pu-pils. I do not like to think, however, that rreddie McLeod has ol ived in his last event. I have a feeling that when the uio enar.imonsiiips are agem renounc ed the pleasant little pionetv title-holdei will be there.' Copyright John F. Dille Co.
