-tBy H. c. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent)
New York, Feb S.-Cigaret smoking,
life in the trenches and wounds re-
ceiyed in aeroplane combats, accord
ing to recent reports received from
Paris, have made the condition of
George Carpenter such that he would
have trouble getting in condition for
a real bout inside of six months. A
recent interview from the United
Press representative in Paris quoted
Carpenter as saying he would not be
able to fight in this country within
four months.
Carpenters appearance, while ose
tensibly for the purpose Of raising
funds for the family Of French pugi-
list who was killed in action, undoubt-
edly had with it the experiment of de-
termining the real condition of tho
European champion He boxed four
rounds and when he finished he was
putting hard
He laid his lack of wind to the usu
of hundreds Ok cigarets-a habit ac.
Quired in the trenches. He promises
to cut down his daily quota of pills
He boxed well, but his movements
were decidedly clumsy compared to his
forn,ay. fact-ehiftinp Golf
Carpenter is through for long time
1t twill take year for him to get back
into condition. War effects, his iniu
ries received IN a fall, and his cigaret
smoking will make it impossible for
him to be really in shape
Talk Of a match with Jess Willard
was foolish from the start, in spite of
the fact that every tentative arrange
ment had been made Talk Of bout
with Les Darcy or any other good
light heavyweight is just as foolish,
TO send Carpenter into action now
against a really good man would be
slaughter He would tire within six
rounds at the most and all his ring
craft could not save him from defeat.
1t is the price he has paid for being
patriot. Even if he is not killed or
permanently crippled in action, the
: chances are he never will occupy the
place in fistiana he once enjoyed.

in cooperation with the farmers in a
way that it would do $50, 600 worth Of
work on the proposed Ozark Trail

than new railroad to Chickasha, It
was up to chickasha to raise the
amount at once, and he stated that he

RED CROSS SALE
BRINGS BIG SUM
Local Branch Realizes $3.50 as Result
of Generosity Of Donors of
Articles and Bidders

The Pullman branch Of the Red
Cross is better off financially to the
extent OF 1925 as a result of the big
auction sale Of donated articles held
considerable margin the eXpecta-
tons of the committee in charge AID
il was necessary at the last moment
to change the place of the sale from
the white brick building to the Jack
son block, where more floor space
was available. 1t was found impOs-
sible to dispose Of all the articles do
mated during the afternoon and the
sale was continued until late Satur-
day evening.
Bidding was spirited at times, and
most of the articles brought market
value or trifle above, although some
were sold for less than their real
value Col l.. Strobel of ColfaX gave
his services as auctioneer free OF
charge and the sale was not permit
ted to drag at any time.
The committee in charge Of the
event desires to express its thanks to
the people who so literally donated
articles to the worthy cause and to all
who assisted in making the affair the
great success that it was. Not one
person approached by the committee
refused TO donate articles for the sale,
and all showed a disposition to give
something that would prove salable,
with the result that practically every
thing offered brought a fair price.
