Carpenter Fights Joe Jeanette
Ffenchman FaVorite.

With another proposed fight be-
tween Packey Mcfarland and Mike
Gibbons, the French light heavy
weight, who mixes in Paris with Joe
Jeanette today.
Carpenter says he learned to box
through watching moving pictures of
the Gans-Nelson fight. From the
flicker stuff he claims to have alb
sorbed some fine points about in
fighting and applied them to all his
subsequent ring battles.
This certainly is new idea, but
one that sounds reasonable. A NOV
ing picture, run at proper speed, is
easy to follow and clearly illustrates
each blow.
Carpenters action may be pre-
cedent for some of our own scrap
pers.
The Frenchman has been made
favorite over Jeanette in Paris,
mainly because the colored fighting
colony has fallen into disrepute in
the French capital. Jeanette, Nc
Vey, Langford and Johnson, all fistic
idols on the other side at one time,
have slipped because of the spotty
fights they put on, and even Paris,
the last place open to them, is be-
ginning to turn.
Formerly the negro would have
gone into the ring with large fol-
lowing. But owing to his own acts,
and those of his mates, he will have
few friends when the mill starts.

2.-Lemberg has fallen. The
Austrian army which has
been fighting in front Of the
Galician capital, has been
withdrawn. It did not enter
the city, as the general staff
desired to avoid any general
bombardment and the defend
ing force was withdrawn to
the south.
The eighth day Of the great
ebattle which now extends
from the Dneister to the Prus-
sian frontier finds the Aus
trian army out numbered and
hard pressed. It is very plain
that Russia has abandoned
every offensive movement
against the Prussians in order
to endeavor to crush the entire
Austrian army at one blow.
There are not less than g.

points. The most serious re-

because the abandonment of
the positions there has en-
