CARPENTER A HEAVYWEIGHT
Former French Micdleweight Finds It
Difficult to Make Weight for
That Division.

Georges Carpenter, the French
middleweight champion, is to become
a heavyweight Carpenter has been
growing too heavy for the middle
weight class and finds it difficult to
make weight for this division. His
defeat at the hands of Billy Papke is
laid by Carpenters hackers to the
fact that he virtually had to starve
himself to get down to the middle
weight limit and greatly weakened
himself thereby. Carpenter was
looked upon as a wonder in the ring
by the French boxing lovers, who
hailed him as the greatest middle
weight in the world. Such glowing
reports of his prowess as a fighter
reached these shores that America
fight fanciers were forced to the con-
clusion that he must be a real ring
marvel. But when the French cham
pion went up against a couple of good
American glove artists his boasted
superiority was given a rude setback.
Frank Klaus, the Pittsburg bear cat,
and Billy Papke, who is not near as
good a fighter as he was few years
ago, had no trouble in beating the for
