FRENCHIIAN GREAT
FOUR ROUND ARTIST

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Oct. I'm
l spite OF the tan that there was
no chance Of an American hour by
Georges Carpenter, the French heavy
weight champion. until the war is
over, Jack Eller reports that not so
many weeks ago the boxer had come
within an ace OF boarding a ship for
this country. EIler. who was a Y. NJ
c. A. athletic director in France and
who returned here a couple Of weeks
ago, said that he had arranged TO
have Carpenter make a tour in this
country for the benefit OF the Y. ~
c. A. war work fund. and that the
boxer was greatly wrought up over
The prospect Of making his long
sought visit to America
The plans for his sailing were COM
pleted- The French military officials
declared they would be only too glad
10 give Carpenter a furlough 20 come
here, but before he would be permitted
70 leave they wanted an official re-
quest from some authorized American
war activity. They said that If the
z. II. c. A. said the word they would
send Carpenter away with a smile.
However, the y. NJ c. A. refused
70 make the request. That or
EauiEatiOu is not especially keen
about boxers and boxing and the
men az the head OF the war work
committee were l0athe 20 ask for
the release Of a nan engaged in
helping France win the war. Car

And SO Il came about that another
plan for a Carpenter trip here was
