Editors Note-Jimmy Bronson
was the overseas boxing director for
the Y. M. c. A. He promoted and
refereed boxing bouts ut the famous
Palace de Grace, and the Cirque de
Paris. He participated in more h
700 fights in army camps, touring
France, Germany, Italy and Belgium.
He was official referee for the A. E.
f. and inter-allied tournaments. He
Is one of the few men in America to-
day who really knew the European
champion. 1t was q keen ~disappoint-
ment to Bronson when Carpenters
injured hand prevented him from
meeting Bob Martin, Americas pride.
But he saw the Frenchman often and
they became quite chummy. Car
pentier has in Bronson a great ad-
mirer, even though the American
feels certain some day his
own fighter, Bob Martin, will meet
and beat the Frenchman as well as
anyone else standing between him
and the title.
BY Jimmy Bronson
Carpenter is a clean, keen think
er, n who is never Idle. Every
second he is in the ring teens with
action. He moves in and out with
uncanny speed. He Is a wonderful

punches from every conceivable
angle and packs a dream-lulling kick
in either hand. Carpenter typifies
everything that's beautiful in q fight
ing man-a finished and polished
piece of spectacular fighting craft.
AS a boxer he started from the
bantams and finished among the
heavies. He has had considerable
difficulty with "Yank" fighters, but is
- - 3d.. a. LNna1tah
When he is on the boulevard he Is
followed by an admiring throng who
gayly call out "Vive, Vive, Carpen-
tier" When in the ring representa-
tive France turns out to do him
honor. He is rendered an ovation
wherever he goes.
He has the keenest of managers in
De Champs, who has piloted him
over the rocks and to a spot where
he is the one nan in the world at
the present time who has a chance
of all times.
Carpenter, as a championship
~aspirant, has three strong points
condition, q punch and a general
makeup of the things found in a
title-holder.
In the first two respects he fooled
America. But fans of America should
never be fooled about the conultlon
of a. French fighter. They're always
In condition. A Frenchman will not
enter the ring unless he Is right.
He Is marvelously quick and
clever. I don't know of a fighter in
America who compares with him In
point of action in the ring.
AS for gameness you must hand 1t
to the French. But they have diff
ferent ring customs. Over here a
fighter must be beaten to a pulp be-
fore he can gracefully throw up the
sponge. Over there the fans expect
a fighter hopelessly beaten to end the
bout by "resigning." Carpenter has
been criticized in America for "re-
signing" but that IS the custom there
and our ring fans Just didn't under

stand 1t.
Carpenter was In great shape for
Beckett. He hadn't been idle since
he left the army. In fact he had
taken part in many fights in France
before meeting Beckett. The news
didn't get out because they love him
SO much over there hat even the
sporting editors observed his wishes
and withheld the news to the rest of
the world. They were willing to
make that sacrifice for him.
