feat Worlds Champ
Is Opinion.

Followers of boxing throughout
the country are now discussing the
chances of Georges Carpenter. the
French heavyweight champion, IN
a hSht against Jack Dempsey. For
the present Carpenter looms up as
the only possible contender against
the new world champion. For
Jack Dempsey succeeded not only in
mauling the life out of Willard.
out he has wiped away clean the
hopes of a half dozen or so would
be heavyweight champions.
Carpenter was the choice of Tex
Rickard last December as a rival of
Willard. He wanted to sign the
Frenchman up for the fight which
took place in Toledo last week. but
Carpenter was unable to obtain his
discharge from the French army.
But Dempsey's terrific f1attenine
OF Willard has made Carpenter
look like a puny rival. The new
champion is one of the most re-
markable sluSgers since the days of
Terry McGOvern and Young Cor
bett; faster on his feet and more
aggressive than any other living
heavyweight. Not only is he ca
pable of infiicting a great amount
OF punishment. but he sIugs so fast
that his opponents wilt. Willard
thought a house of bricks fell on
him. Giants like Fulton and Nor
ris were paralyzed by his blows.
ls Carpenter capable of facing
Dempsey? For Carpenter at the
present is a good deal of a legendary
hSure. His last battle was fought
some five years ago. when he won
on foul from Gunboat Smith in
six rounds.
Carpenter is 2S years old and
stands fve feet eleven and one
half inches. His best fighting
weight is between IFS and IsO
pounds. He is a clever boxer and
won the attention of the fight fans
when he tapped Bombardier Wells
for a Knockout on two separate oc-
casions. That was back in 1913.
The next year Joe Jeanette. the
negro heavyweight. outpointed
him in a duh ffteen-round affair.
Carpenter began his ring career in
1907. His record shows that he was
beaten in six rounds by Dixie Kid.
the American negro: stopped in
seventeen rounds by Billy Papke. a
crackerjack middle-weight fighter,
and lost on foul to Frank KLAUS.
another middle-weight. in nineteen
rounds.
When the war broke out Car
pentier enlisted to fight for his
country. Since that time il is
doubtful whether he has had the
gloves on for even a few minutes.
Types of fighters like Dempsey
are only defeated by their own
methods

CREEK BUSS BOY
K.O.'D DEMPSEY
Happenings of Days When
When Jack Never Thought
OF the Heavyweight Title.

! San Francisco, July 20-William
Harrison Dempsey. the new heavy
| weight champion of the world, is
enjoying almost as much publicity
as President Wilson received when
he arrived in the United States to
tell us the low down" on the league
| of nations.
Right now the Dempsey home in
salt Lake City is being photo
graphed for the animated weeklies.
The farm where the Dempsey fam
lly lived for several years at Provo
t has been visited by score OF
! photographers.
Ball players with the Salt Lake
team say Jack Dempsey IL the idol
of Salt Lake and Provo. Many stor-
les are told OF the ups and downs
of the present champion.
They tell us that Jack Dempsey.
once big. awkward kid shining
shoes in one of the Garden City
barber shops. began his career as a
boxer in the opera house of Provo
scarcely a half dozen years ago.
| when, in a preliminary fight of four
,, , rounds, he was whipped by a Greek k
dishwasher.
An autobiography of William Har-
rison Dempsey would naturally lead
off with He came from poor but
honest parents"
Continuing with the history OF his
ring career. the gang from Salt Lake
, says that Jack Dempsey. after his
trimming at the hands of the dish
washer. plugged along with some
fifth raters in the four-round game.
n1Wuva L
I himself from Knockout
There is a gent by the name OF
! Billy Williams. one of Provo's
| most loquacious farmers. who
boasts of the fact that he was the
first man to knock out the present
kingpin OF the heavy-weights.
1t seems that Jack was employed
on Williams farm to keep the
| beets well shined. Every time the
farmers back was turned William
! Harrison Dempsey betook himself
to the vineyard and partook freely
of the forbidden fruit One day so
the story runs. Williams lost his
temper. swung on Jack and sent
! the lad to the mat.
When Dempsey knocked Willard
| down seven times in the first round
on Independence Day. William
Boshard. a Salt Lake barber, had
cold chills running. up and down
his back. thinking of the time
what might have happened to him
when he kicked Dempsey out of a
( barber shop. Dempsey worked as
a bootblack in Boshard's establish
ment. and among his duties was the
daily sweeping of the floor.
Almost every morning some part
of this work was found neglected.
One morning. so the story runs. the
barber kicked Dempsey into the
street. Dempsey never retaliated.
Time and time again Jack .Demp-
sey was seen in bouts with the
four-rounders of Salt Lake and
Provo. And now it seems these
lads are seeking managers and
trainers. confident that they still
can make things interesting for the
new champion.
