CORNEAUGOES
INTO "Y' WORK
Carpenter S Trainer to Be
Physical Director for Part
Of the French Army.

Paris, March 7.-Raymond T. Corneau.
the man who taught Charpentier, the
champion French boxer. how to fight.
has gone in the American Y. NJ. C. A.
service.
Corneau has a system Of training all
his own. He gets results--in the ring
and out of II.
He is now a "Y" physical director
OF part of the French army. He is
assigned to one OF the Foyers du
Soldats, the "Y'' huts for the poilu.
He works under DR.. @. 8. Meylan.

"Charpentier," says DR.. MeyIon.
wages his battles like Sullivan and
Fitzsimmons used to wage theirs. He
puts every ounce of his strength into
them, fights with might and main.
and knows absolutely nothing about
the word quit"
Charpentier holds the heavyweight
championship of Europe. He won 1t
over Bombardier Wells. the British
fighter. In their first meetings in
Brussels Charpentier triumphed in
the fourth round. Later in London
he landed victory in exactly seventy
three seconds. These successes over
Wells made him undisputed leader of
Europe in the heavyweight class.
The fact that Charpentier was then
but eighteen years old and weighed
seventy pounds less than his opponent
made his victories the more remark
able. Corneau. as his trainer, came
in for no little glory.
Charpentier's admirers thought the
worlds championship was easily with
in his reach.
Then the war broke out.
Charpentier and Corneau both went
into the French army. the former with
the aviation service, the latter with his
regiment.
In Corneau's regiment eighty soldiers
failed to come up to standard phys
ically. Corneau suggested systematic
work to develop these men. The sug-
gestion was not adopted. Corneau was
a private.
A little later Corneau had a chance
with the flfteen-year-old son Of a
French colonel to show what his meth
cd of training could accomplish. I'M
mediately his proposal to take hold of
the eighty deficient men in his regi-
ment was accepted and he started in
to work.
The upshot Of 1t was that Corneau
came into the Y. NJ. C. A. to devote all
of his time to building up the men
who need 1t.

much energy ever since. Caldwell
has surprised the Yankees mite
manager by promising to win thirty
games this year. OF course. this

Washington, March 5.-Bernard
M. Baruch of New York was today
appointed chairman of the War In
dustries Board. Until now Mr.. Baruch

Mr.. Baruch is big chap physically,
standing six feet three inches, with

with suppressed humor, as if he knew
a good joke that he was keeping to
himself. He has fondness for ath-
letic sports and excels in several Of

His remarkable career in Wall

marked all through its course by his
accurate analysis of markets and his
Judgment of what those markets
would do in certain given circum-
stances. He is known as Uncle Sam S
