| FRENCH WONDER UPSFTS FIGHT
 DOPE AND KNOCKS JOE BECK
 EFT OUT IN LESS THAN ONE
 ROUND; IS LOGICAL MATCH
 FOR DEMPSEY.
 LONDON, Dec. 4.- (P) It took just one minute and ten seconds. or less than one round, for Georges Carpenter to beat Joe Beckett champion of England. and win the heavyweight boxing championship of all Europe. The defeat of Beckett was complete surprise to the fight followers who couldn't see where the French battler had look in.
 Carpenter entered the ring with the betting odds against him to }. The French fans won immense sums of money on the result as they had backed their champion to the limit. From the time the two men touched hands in the center of the ring, the outcome was not in doubt Carpen- tier was too fast for the Britisher and put him into dreamland before the fight had hardly begun. The match was schedule for 20 rounds.
 As a result of his victory he will probably ask for a chance at the American worlds champion Jack Dempsey. It is believed that a bout between the two will be arranged for early next year. Had Beckett won, he was scheduled to meet Dempsey in New Orleans next March. It is possible that Carpen- tier will be given the date Local boxing critics believe that if any man in the ring can wrest the belt from the American it is Carpenter.
 JACK IS WILLING.
 LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. i.-lA) When the returns of the Beckett Carpenter fight were received here this afternoon, Jack Dempsey, heavy weight champion of the world, said that he was not surprised at the de feat of Beckett aItho he looked for 9 longer fight. When asked if he would consider meeting the Frenchman he cpIied. Sure, l am ready to meet Carpenter or any other fighter in the world as long as l get the price.
 CONSIDER NEW RULES.
 NEW YORK, N. Y. Dec. 4-(P)- Following the Beckett-Carpentier fight this afternoon a meeting was held in London by leading representa tives of American and European box ng circles for the purpose of con sidering a new set of rules for the fight. It is claimed that the old Mar- Quis of Queensberry rules are obsolete and fight supporters all over the world are working for a change. It is eX~ Dected that the London meeting will
 .ft a new set that will be adopted tmmediately. If this happens, it is probable the last big fight has been held under the old rules as the new ones would be in effect before an other championship bout is staged.

Georgia Has S,678 Boys In
Pig Clubs,

Swine worth half q million dol.
lars were raised by Georgia pig
club members during 1918. Four
years ago there were no pig
clubs in the State, but under en-
oouragemsnt from the College OF
Agriculture and the United
States Department OF Agriculture
s,e7s boys in Georgi" are now en-
rolled in these organizations.
Their beneficial effect on the
swine industry Of the State may
be- judged from a seminary just
received by the department from
its pig-club agent in Georgia.
Outstanding progress is reported
as follows "The increase in final
value of hogs raised by pig.club
boys in 1918 over those in 1917
was more than Sc per cent. Pig
club boys won 70 ribbons and
S505 in prizes in the open ring at
two Georgia fairs. The increase
in number Of pure. bred hogs
raised by pig club boys in 1918
over 1917 were more than 300 per
cent. The State champion was
the 11-year-old son of a 1.horse
farmer who bought his pig at an
Iauction sale for $3.50. She is
worth $500 today. Six pig.cluh
boys in one county will start hog
