CIGARETS HAVE
HURT CARPENTER
French Champion to Reduce Allow
ance-Sportsmen Believe War
rior Too Small for Willard.

PARIS, Feb. Georges Carpen-
tier boxed four rounds last week at
a benefit for Georges Bernard,
French middleweight champion. who
was killed a week ago in an aero
plane accident at Pau. Carpenter
met Jean Bicot, who is nearly as big
and strong as Al Palzer and over
" eighed Carpenter by thirty pounds.
Carpenter showed all his old time
craftiness, speed, footwork and
Judge of distance, but two and one
half years of cigaret smoking has
had a marked effect on his wind.
At the end of the third round Car
pentier was putting hard, and after
the last round was blowing like a
porpoise.
CARPENTER used his familiar guard,
which is combination of the Leach
Cross and AID Wolgast styles, fore
arm doubled over face and glove
over ear, with body crouched low.
Time after time Carpenter took big
Dicot's hardest blows on his elbow
and lust swayed to left or right,
breaking the force of the punches.
Then Carpenter pulled Corbett's old
game, dropping his hands and just
moving his head and shoulders to
dodge Bicot's swings. Carpenter
ducked like Bombardfer Wells.
Whenever Bicot tried to uppercut.
Georges backed out of range.
The opinion Of American sports
nresent. many Of whom have follow
ed the ring game for the last twenty
wears, was that Carpenter is too
little for Willard over long route.
although his speed and science might
win him decision in ten rounds.
All agreed that the Frenchman would
be popular In America, owing to his
flashy, speedy style, so unusual for
Replying to his friends who criti-
cised him after the bout, Carpenter
inserted he would reduce his cigaret
allowance to three day hereafter.

NEW YORK, Feb 5.-The thirty
one German and Austrian ships lying
in New York harbor today are sealed
They will not be seized unless some
thing further takes place in relations
between this country and Germany.
It was stated on the highest author
ity that not a merchant ship In the
United States has been seized by this
government This authority pointed
out that 1t was the seizure OF German
ships by Portugal which led to dec
laration of war by Germany on that
country.
The ships were sealed and guards
placed about them for the purpose OF
preventing members of the crew not
naturalized to leave the vessels and
take up residence without undergoing
immigration examinations. Several OF
these cases already have been noted.
The crews have been warned that
they must either stay aboard or go to
Ellis island for examination.
The sealing of the ships was accom-.
plished without disorder. The guards
on the piers were quadrupled. tue
men were warned that they could not
20 ashore without the proper author
ity. without FORGETTING the right to re.
turn and all persons were kept away
from the ships with the same explana'
ton.

Chicago, Jan. 4.--A motion picture film, purporting to show that Peter Zyla, though admitted blind by the state public utilities commission, was not too blind to peer interestedly at a bit of ankle exposed by a motion pie ture actress, was introduced in evil dence before the commission today. The Hartford Accident & Indemnity company is seeking to have set aside on the evidence of the picture an award of $3,500 recently made by the commission to Zyla on his claim that he was blinded by an accident in the plant of the Chicago Railways company, where he was employed.
 The picture introduced in evidence was taken after members of mo- ton picture company told Zyla they desired to use his yard as "a set"
 Zyla contends that the action of the film showing him gazing at the actress ankle was fake6.
