PROPOSE WORLD
BOXING CHANGES
Continental and American Rep
resentatives Would Do Away
With Queensberry Code
MAKE CONCRETE PLANS

London, Dec. 5.-F6llowing the Car
pentier- Beckett contest for the Euro
pean heavyweight championship there
was a meeting of the leading repre-
sentatives of American and European
boxing bodies to consider new set of
ring regulations to supersede the
Marquis of Oueensberry rules, which
for decades have governed bouts in all
parts OF the world.
The gist of the rules as submitted at
the conference is as follows:
The proposed weight classes Will in
c.ude Flyweight, 112 pounds; bantam =
weight, lis pounds; featherweiqht, "
pounds. lightweight. 135 pounds; well
terweight, LAT pounds; middleweight.
100 pounds heavyweight, 10 pound
and over. Under the new rules al
weights will be made eight hours before
the men enter the ring.
The ring will measure twenty feet
inside the ropes, with at least one inch
of sole padding upon the floor, and the
gong, sounding the beginning and en-
of the round, must be at least ten inches
in diameter. G'oves worn by the boxers
shall weigh not less than six ounces
each, and no boxer shall be permitted
to use hand bandages more than six feet
long or more than one and ore half
inches wide, and the material must be
of soft substance. No shoes shall be
worn which have hard soles or heels,
cleats or spikes.
Future bouts will be judged by two
judges and referee, who shall cast
vote, but he must agree with one or
the other judge or call the bout Graw:
Y A boxer shall be considered down"
when any part of his body, other tina
his feet, are on the floor, or when
referee shall be the judge of such a
condition on the ropes and the boxer
shall not be considered down on the
ropes until the referee so calls.
Among the fouls covered in the new
rules is one that boxer arising fron
the floor following a knockdown is
fouled if struck before he is in defensive
nosition

Georges Began Boxing Ca
reer as Bantam in France
When Only Thrice en-
Years Old
WAS BORN At LENS

EoRGES CARPENTER was born
~ at Lens, France, January IL, 1894.
He began boxing when only thirteen
years of age. This was in 1907. when
boxing was beginning to pe popular in
France. He was both skillful and ag
gressive, and in 1909 scored many vic
tories, defeating, among others, Charles
Iedoux, the French bantamweight
champion.
Carpenter took on weight and two
years later he was meeting and defeat
ing men in the welterweight division.
THE Frenchman scored his first sensa-
tional victory when he knocked out Jim
Sullivan, the English middleweight. in
two rounds at Monte Carlo in 1912.
At Client, the following year, Car
pentier, after being knocked down twice
by Bombardier Wells, the English
heavyweight, knocked out the Briton in
the fourth round. The fact that a
French lad, nineteen years old. and only
middleweight, had knocked out the
cleverest English. heavyweight seemed
to some of the latter's hackers as
fuke. Carpenter dispelled this doubt,
however, when he went over to London
and knocked out Wells second time
putting him to sleep in the opening
round. Forty days afterward Carpen
tier fought Pat O'Keefe, the English
middleweight champion, and scored
knockout in the second round.
Joe jeanette, the American negro
heavyweight, defeated Carpenter on
points early in 1914. but after that and
prior to the declaration of war between
France and Germany the French cham
pion won decisions over Kid jackson
and Gunboat Smith, in each case on
foul
A, few hours after the Smith fight,
Carpenter, who was in England, re-
turned to France on the night boat in
answer to his country's call to arms
and the following day was in uniform.
During his early career CARPENTER
grew rapidly from a bantamweight to a
| light heavyweight and beat the Euro
pean champions in each class as he
progressed.

past performances, Hhe Delawar
bunch far outshine the Clearview gun
ners. Clearview, in the last league
shoot, amassed total of 800 target
against 462 for Wilmington.
Looking over the high scores of thre
shoots to date, it is noteworthy that
Charles u. Vaughan, of Haddonfield,
member of the Camden team, is the
leading marksman. In three shoots at
so clays each Vaughan has scored 147,
or three misses in $50. The Haddon
field gunner has had three straight
cards of 49s in his league matches.
Harry Sloan and Bill Williams, both
local shots, have scores of 144xl00
and figure among the top scorers.
Lefty" Williams, star eOuthpaw
of the Chicago White Sox, will shoot
with the Wilmington club tomorrow.
Williams is a clever target shot.

Paris Paper Deplores
Enthusiasm OUer Ring

Paris, Dec. 5.-Carpentier's vic
tory delighted Paris. The large
crowds outside the newspaper offices
greeted the news with rousing cheers
and the boulevards took on some
thing of the animation of armistice
night. All this enthusiasm seems
to be deplored by conservative
Frenchmen. The Temps says:
Physical culture is all very well,
but it seems latterly to be in dan
ger of monopolizing attention to the
detriment of higher things. We are
assured that Carpenter is most in
telligent and that intellect bears its
part in his profession. So is intel
ligence required even to turn serv-
iette rings, but it can be better
employed. After all, boxing is the
most unpleasant of all sports"

Los Angeles, Dec. 5.--Jack Demp-

night that Georges Carpenters VIC
tory over Joe Beckett in London
was no surprise to him, as he and
his manager, Jack Kearns, had
picked the French champion to win.
Dempsey said Carpenter was more
scientific, quicker and harder hit
ter than Beckett.
"I am ready to fight Carpenter

If l get my price" said Dempsey.
Carpenter, in all probability,

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, M. D.

It can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose Of the food you cat,
troubles begin to crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, but thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak
ness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs,
colds and bronchitis are almost as common.
TLero is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order. This is easy to do if you
take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It is wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is so safe to take, for it is
made Of roots and herbs. DR.. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y, stands behind this standard
medicine, and it is good to know that Sc
distinguished physician is proud to have
his name identified with it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are

JOHN LIZARD, CRIMINAL

John Cyril Lizard shot Deputy
Sheriff Twombley to death when that
vigilant officer threw up his nand
and commanded Lizard to stop for
violation OF the speeding law. 1t
was an act Of diabolical yillany and
no plea can be made for Lizard that
II was due to any sudden impulse,
Lizard had just robbed the gatetender
of the interstate bridge and he was
trying to escape and he was armed
to resist any interference with his
man. It was the misfortune OF
Twombley that he did not know that
he was accosting highwayman,
for he might then have taken pre-
caution against whatever might hap
pen. It is no excuse at all for Lizard
that he supposed Twombley was af-
ter him for the former crime.
= Lizard obeyed the controlling in
stinct Of his lawless and desperate
nature when he killed Twombley. He
is a murderer without scruple, des-
perado who lives by excitement and
an adventurer who matches his wits
against the law-abiding that he may
get unearned money. He is more
He is a betrayer Of women in
double sense. He sought, in tht
most deliberate and heartless fash
ion, to fasten the crime of which he
and he alone, was guilty, upon tn
chance companion Of his gaye
hours. He has not one spark o
Kindness or gratitude, or truth, &
his nature. His wickedness is com
plete. He is entitled to no pity eth
er from sentimental women or sof,
hearted men.

should be, but he win go to priso
for a life sentence. II Is likely ths
