In the five fights he has had since returning from the war he has scored five knockouts. II is the same route Dempsey took to the champion ship.
 Pershing was present when Martin won the heavyweight title of the in- ter-allied armies and he is greatly in- terested in the big Akron boy who is making such hit in fast company.
 Georges Carpenter is hero in France and Bob Martin is a hero in America. We'd like to see the day when these two fellows climbed through the ropes and battled for in ternational honors.
 Bet Pershing would be there, too, along with a lot of other prominent men and heroes of the two countries which fought side by side to make the world safe.

 in Jersey Battle

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 29.- Young Chaney of Baltimore outfought and outpointed Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion, in an eight round bout tonight, in the opinion of a majority of newspaper men present.
 Clancy weighed 122 pounds and the champion, 125. The Baltimore boxer took the aggressive at the start, and, although not as clever as K1lbane, often sent in blows so fast that the title-holder was frequently forced to clinch. Chaney took the first, third, fourth and seventh rounds, and Kill bane the second and eighth. The fifth and sixth were even.
 Jeff Smith of Bayonne knocked out Jack Coyne of Orange, N. J., in the second round.
