be the softest mark that Dempsey
ever faced
The French champion is about 5
feet II inches and weighs around
$50 pounds He Is a fairly clever
boxer. but not as clever as Jack
Dempsey. He cannot hit much. but
his best punch is right to the body.
Jack Dempsey has just won his
title from a champion who out
weighed him so pounds, lowered over
him five inches in height. and had
half foot on him in reach If he
faced Carpenter in the ring all the
physical advantages would be on
Dempseys side.
Before Dempsey disposed of Willard
match between him and Carpenter
might have been a great attraction
It would have been no more of a con-
test then. But the public was not
aware Of Dempsey's real ability and
would have flocked to see him with
the gallant Frenchman.
Perhaps a DempEey-Carpentier bout
would draw well In London. But Jack

, them, better conditions in every way.
Hackenschmidt has an ideal which
he is trying TO crystalize into a
scheme. He pictures training centers
in all big towns where children are
taught to look after their bodies
Their young bodies should be
trained and developed by physical
culture until the boys and the girls
are proud Of the strength and beauty
Of their own bodies II they have
that pride OF the body in them they
will never be able to give way to ex-
cesses- II is not physically possible
I know from myself Partit ularly
want the children to be instructed to
sing properly: sweet. beautiful old
English songs, so that they will hate
the nonsense of the music hall songs.
Why cannot we do that? We ought
to do everything for the children"
Leads Simple Life.
In his way the Russian now is as
simple and unaffected as q child. His
life is absolutely simple. his pastimes
boyish- He lives alone with his wife
in their tiny, pretty bungalow Of five
rooms and he spends his days in fish
ing.
One of the recollectIons I brought
away was that Of a great man, in
gray sweater and rough breeches,
showing with the keenest pride two
small dabs-they were almost lost in
his bulky hands-that he had just

Speaks Sincerely.
It is not possible in written matter
to reproduce the simple sincerity and
earnestness Of Hackenschmidt as he
spoke. This wrestling champior-
the man with the great shoulders and
huge arms-has a brain with vision
He appreciates our domestic politics
thoroughly. He refers. in CONVERSE
ton to "Smillie,' Henderson" Mac
Donald" as though he was in the
labor movement He knows all about
them and their aims; can even quote
from their speeches. He is in his
theories a real Socialist
