boxers are serving with the army, the
most illustrious example being Georges
Carpenter. The recent ring victories of
the French middleweight over both Bonn
bardier Wells and Gunboat Smith
caused European critics to predict
worlds championship honors for Carpen'
tier. Should he be killed or injured in
action his loss would be keenly felt in
pugilistic circles for even the English
ring authorities predict promising ca
reer for him as can be seen from the
following extract from review OF his
bout with Smith,
Though the result OF the boxing con-
test between Carpenter and Gunboat
Smith was very unsa tisfactory from one
point of view, there is very little doubt
that if the contest had continued Car
pentier would either have won easily on
points or would have finished his man
before the 10th round. The Frenchman
had science, pace and precision, and all
OF them had been improved since he last
appeared. With qualities such as these.
he was easily able to deal with man
whose chief assets were strength and
endurance. The rapier will nearly al
ways win against the broadsword. We
shall always look forward to seeing Car
pentier in the ring again. His fierce vi
tality, his swift intelligence, his fam
ing courage, present combination of
some of the finest qualities which box
ing has ever evolved in its best expo
nents."

With the open contest decided, the
amateur championship, American golfng
blue ribbon, will attract the attention
OF every player of note in the country.
This year the United States Golf asso-
citation has selected the links of the Elk
wanok Country club, Manchester, VT,
from Aug. to Sept. s for the Goth
annual competition for the amateur hon
or, which Jerome D. Travis of the Up
per Montclsir, n. j., the present holder,
has won three times. Although the
champion has not taken part in any
public match or tournament since his
return from his recent visit in quest of
British honors on the other side of the
Atlantic, Travis has been keeping in
close touch with the games. The en-
tries for the event will not close until
A week from next Monday. Last year
two foreign entrants were among those
who carded for the national contest at
Garden City, but this year for obvious
reasons the field will be entirely Amer
can in its makeup.

The Davis cup, emblematic of the
worlds team tennis championship, the
final matches for which are being played
at Forest Hills, L. l., was placed in COM
petition Is years ago, the donor being
Dwight F. Davis of st. Louis, Mo. This
was in 1900, but the idea of originating
an international competition in this
port was conceived three years previous.
ly by DIR. James Dwight, then presi-
dent of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- association, and among the leading
opponents of tennis in the early days of
the game in this country.
In 1907 DIR. Wight in letter to his
friend, Mr.. Herbert Chipp in England,
suggested a match between American
and English players, as this proved to
be tire basis of correspondence followed
by negotiations between British and |
American lawn tennis associations which, |
