1t will be speed and cleverness
against stamina and punch when
Georges Carpenter meets Gunboat
Smith n London the last week in
June. Not but that dear Carpenter
hasn't punch and not that our Gun
boat isn't clever, but merely that the
Frenchman looks better as to clever
ness and that the American is be-
lieved to excel in the ability to hit.
One thing is certain If both men
extend themselves instead Of tango
ing, the spectators who take in the
international battle at Burgess Club
should see a whang, slam, bang-up
scrap. And according to dope,
Americans in London who say they
will bet their shoes on Gunboat,
ought to make a killing. OF all the
fighters whom America has sent
abroad tor England to give the once
over, Smith probably will make less
impression in appearance than any
who have gone before. But Smith is
deceptive when It comes to shape
and size. And if he gets through
