In the ranks of the allies there three men
widely known as professional fighters, who are
indulging in a form of battle which is new to
them, as they are all pugilsts. The most famous
of the three, or at least the one who now has
the highest rank in sporting circles, IS Georges
Carpenter, the champion white heavyweight Of
the world.
CARPENTER is one of the most picturesque fig
ures in the boxing game Four years ago he was
a mine worker in the north Of France and was
earning about "a a week. Then he got start as
a lighter, and quickly prominence. He was
aided by the fact that he gained the favor OF the
sporting element in Paris He soon became the
champion of France, but in spite OF ms success
he kept his head and banked his winnings. Now,
at the age of twenty, ne is worth more than

fight with "Gunboat" Smith of this country on
July II last He won this fight as result OF
foul blow struck by Smith in the sixth round. He
enlisted on August 3, and received a great OVa-
ton when his identity discovered at the mill
tary depot.
The heavyweight champion OF the British En-
Lire, "Bombardier" Wells, is fully as popular IN
English sporting circles as is Carpenter IN
French He was at time member OF the
British forces in India, where he served as petty
officer in the 9Th Mountain Men. He had won
considerable reputation boxer in bouts at

later became his manager. Naloney, once light
