PUNCH AND WILL SURPR SE DEMPSEY WHEN THEY MEET IN WORLDS TTTULAR BATTLE

Georges Carpenter. heavyweight boxing champion of Eurort., will sur, prise Jack Dempsey, worlds title holder, when the two come together In a bout for the worlds title, for which American and European pro motors are now frantIcaIy bidding This was the inference to be gained yesterday from the remarks of George Mcdonald.
 ''Carpent CT will beat any man h can hit soNdly," said MT Mcdonald when asked as to the prospects of tho French idol against Dempsey, if the should come together. The French boxer has tremendous punching abil- ity, and is wonderfully slliIlful and clever. Mind, don't say he will beat Dempsey. | couldn't very well com init myself to that extent, for haven't seen your champion in action understand Dempsey $ wonderful: fighter. He must have been to beat Jess Willard. From what have seen of Carpenter. however, I will say without hesitation that any boxer who feels the full impact of his blows must experience defeat.
 I've seen many great fighters, in- cludtng John L. Sullivan, whom I helped prepare for his memorable bout at Chantilly. France, against Charley Mitchell. In his fight a against Beckett, Carpenter convinced me that he ranked with the best of them He didn't make an unnecessary move. He worked like a master and made every move count Beckett hadn't a chance to get started before the match was over, and the blow that ended Beckett's interest in the bout did not travel more than foot My when I look back on that match I must -onfess I saw more real, in teresttng action in the short space of time required for the bout than I had seen in 20 previous bouts"
 When asked as to Carpentier's ability to take punishment MT. Mo Donald expressed the opinion that the French idols ability in this re- gard was not fully appreciated. The British promoter pointed out that in many of his bouts Carpenter had been forced to assiruilate considerable punishment, mentioning specifically the bouts against Joe Jeannette and Frank Klaus, in both of which Car pentier was the loser. MT. McDon- aid declared that while the French boxer lost these matches, he never theless stood up under hard punching and showed his courage.

SLIM BRENNAN TO REFEREE: FOR MORANVS. BURKE

New York, Dec. 20-The New ter sey Boxing Commission yesterday assigned Jim Slim Brennan to referee at the aII-star. show that will be held by the Newark Sportsman's s club in the F rst Regiment Armory. Newark, on Monday night. Brennan expects little difficulty in handling the Sharkey- y-Johnson, Benjamin DonIey and Lynch-Fox bouts, but says he may have to put on a suit of armor when burly Frank Moran and Sol dier Jack Burke crawl through the ropes.
 Both Moran and Burke are of the knock 'em dead" type of sluggers Neither pays much attention to his punches after he gets them started to evade their wild swings. Frying two husky 200 pounders apart, in ad- dition to ducking and sidesteppins their prodigiOus punches for 24 min utes, is a mans sized job. Brennan has some satisfa action n the fact that the bout isn't likely to go the limit If either of the fighters lands some thing is going to drop. Brennan says: Heres hoping it isn't the referee!"
 Jack Sharkey, conqueror of Jimmy Wilde, doesn't expect much trouble from Patsy Johnson. Joe Lynch doesn't fear Joie Fox, and Joe Ben jamin is confident of taking the meas ure of Mickey Donley. One never can tell, however. The prize ring is full of surprises

Ask Court to Appoint Com
 mission to Find Out Whether Ban Johnson Still Holds Stock in We 1t-
 ern Club---The American League Czar Denies the . Charges.

New York, Dec 20-If the New York American Baseball club achieve their fond wish, a commission will visit Cleveland and investigate the financial connectio6a and general man agement of that ball club with Ban Johnson To obtain this wish, Charles H. Futile, attorney for the club, appeared before Justice Vernon M Davis, of the Supreme Court, yes teTday with an application for the appointment of such 9 commission.
 Ban Johnson was represented by his attorney, MarvIn W. Fyune who claimed there was no reason or eX- cuse for the visit of any commission. The whole subject of the trouble and litigation that has trisen over the suspension of Carl Mays oy Johnson Was gone into. Eaoh attorney pre- seuped a different angle If the si.ua- 1ion to Justice Davis, who ordered all papers submitted and reserved Ge- .CisiOn-
 According to his attorney, Ban Johnson Is nothing of a czar or bully On the contrary he has made base ball clean game anu not a syndi- cafe As for Co!Onels 5luppert and Huston, the attorneys maintained, they only bought Mays so they cou q w-n the pennant, and thereby partici- pate in the world series money As every other club with possible chance did the same, that argument wasn't very cony5n ncing to the hearers
 Until Justice Davis hands down his ruling there will be sort of an red truce Colonel Huston $ down at his Dover Hall club and will not return for several weeks. As the baseball season is creeping closer and closer, it is possible some sort of a move will be made so the decks can be cleared for next season.
 Until the situation is clarified there will be no official standing of the American League issued. When ii shows up it's a sure thing there will be hardly any interest taken by the fans That's certain

I Fighting Done In One Round Chic Brown Plus Repka Out for Four I,-in- ute5.
By DIVER

Loue Bogash, Sam Drivers chief leaI ticket, was given the decision over Barney Adair of New York last night in the Arena at New Haven after going 15 slow uninterescing rounds before a crowd that was esti- mated at about 4.500
 It was an exhibition of light glove tapping and a little wrestI 1g and with the exception of the last round they acted like a couple of good friends running through a vaudeville act. Neither one showed the slightest tendency to hurt the other and for 1 f rounds they put up the brotherly love act and Adair taking things pretty easy and Bogash not overworking himself. They confined most Of their work to infghtng, at which style neither showed any signs of being hurt in the least.
 Had Bogash been a little more az gressive he would have made a decid- edly better showing as il was he over looked advantages time after time when he could have put the New Yorker in a pretty dangerous condi- ton.
 Adair was outweighed by about 10 p0untzs but what he lost in wefgii- he
 
 on the local boxer in speed and cIev- rness-which was nothing to get ex- cited over. f5ogash got in all of his soints on his wild rushes when he managed to put over a left and right to the body and left to the head a number of times and also missed enough healthy swings that would have put two men out.
 Adair used a, left ja-b to good ad- vantage. reaching out and tapp ng Louie slightly on the chin. also get ting in q few left hooks in the clinches The number of clean blows landed by both during the 15 rounds of milling could have been counted on both hands. Bogash landed a hard left jab in the tenth that rocked the New orker but didn't follow up the opening he had. Adair's only really hard blows were left swings that he sent to the local boxers body as the latter would start on one of his wild rushes.
 Up to the last round the bout was Bogash by a shade, with nothing done to brag about by either nitt wielder, and in the fifteenth Bogash seemed to get the New Workers range and sent hard Iefts and rights to the head and body that had the latter in a

Why Did Yale Drop
 Camp From Football?

New York. Dec 20.--Just why Yale. has dropped Walter Comp from it's football board is not hard to explain. During the last few years MT. Camp has given very little attention to the gridiron sport at Yale. He has been vastly more interested in the sport as portrayed throughout the country
 Maybe the fact that MT. Camp ig- nored Yale entirely when naming his An-.American football squad for last season was not taken. very kindly at Yale. Colleges and students thereof are cIannish som et!mes

mules as ordered it would be doing a thing that other boards
Of supervisors have refused to do. What could the mighty
Tax Commission do if the board Of supervisors refused to act
on it's orders? Why, do what the little boy shot at, nothing.
There are some who seem to think because the Tax Commission
sits in jackson and has a big office force and can ride round
over the state at the expense of the taxpayers and print what
it wants to print at public expense and buy space IN newspapers
and pay for it with the tax payers money, that 1t must De OBEY
ed. 1t is not well for men to be so easily overaWed.
It is not an infrequent thing to hear the echo OF the voice
of some politician these days that the Tax COMMISSION mas
been he means of raising land values in the delta from 80. ana
SIS. per acre to $40. and $50. per acre. Granting To-. the sake
of the argument that this is true, any we'll informed person
knows that land values in the delta, as well as all over che
country, have greatly increased during the past three or TOUR
years and that assessments of from $40. to $50. per acre, III the
delta on land now, are not a very great deal nearer actual iano
values than they were when the lands were assessed at rom
SO. to SIS. per acre.
The issuance of bonds and the natural Increase IN the cost
of running county affairs have naturally increased assessments
in the greater part of the state. Land assessments and the as
sessments of all other properties would have been increased
had the Tax Commission never been born. Ii the SAID commas.

would be maintained greatly in excess OF what tney "ere d
few years back because it is apparent to the thinking. progress

This paper is not just now waking up to the useiess"ess OF
the Tax Commission. We have said from the time OF It's polt-
ical conception and abortive birth that it was the verlforfn ap-
pendage of our body polite, the wart on our state government.
If we must have a commission to see that SUPERVISORS 90

WHAT JOHNSTON WILL AND>wnL o DO.

We have frequently been asked what Mr.. Johnston has
done and what he probably will do if elected governor of Mis-
sissippi.
Mr.. Johnston is the grandson of a gallant Confederate sol
der and does not believe that the splendid achievements OF
a gallant army lis all rot"
Mr.. Johnston has been a member of the state legislature
statute books of the state some of its most beneficial legislation,
but he has never advocated the payment of S5OOO.OO to the
family of a ravisher who was lynched for ravishing a white wo-
man.
When the tocsin of war was sounded Mr.. Johnston. though
not subject to call, volunteered as a private In the ranks, not
with the intention of seeking a safe retreat in the rear at a good
salary, but with the idea of going over the top In the most dan
gerous branch of the service.
Mr.. Johnston has never been a non partisan; he has never
sat upon the political fence as a mere spectator while the battle
for good government was being waged and after it was over
come down into the political arena to claim the fruits of the VIC
tory which he had no part in obtaining; he has never sat upon
the political fence as a neutral while the good name OF the state
was being besmirched and her honor dragged into the dust.
but upon all occasions in season and out OF season ne has bat
tied manfully to uphold th%esplendid traditions OF the state and
to promote the honor and glory of Mississippi
If elected governor we believe that he will give the state
an administration in harmony with the best traditions OF the
commonwealth.
We are certain that he will never pardon a negro brute for,
ravishng a white woman on the ground that the only testimony
against the brute was the evidence of the white woman who
had been assaulted.
Mr.. Johnston will not play the flunkey at the Insane Hos
ptal or any other state institution where debauchery Is the
nocturnal order and then try to shield those responsible TO:
blackening the good name of the state.
