BENJAMIN GOES WEST
california Boy Finds East Too Chilly
 After Spending Several Months s5
 Around These Parts.

Philadelphia, Dec 26.--Joe Ben
 ianlin. the California lightweight,
 yained an even break in shis bout
 with Joe Welling yesterday afternoon
 nt%the Olympic A. A. windup. Ben
 janlin was handicapped by the cold
 w eather and was unable to show at his .best. Benny Leonard, worlds light
 weight champion, who was one of Ben
 iarnin's seconds, declared after the
 bout that Benjamin found the East
 too cold, and later Billy Gibson, man.
 ager of both declared that he had
 cancelled all of Benjamins engage
 ments and will send the boxer back to
 California in a few days. Benjamin will remain on the coast until next spring.
 The first round today was so tame Ithat Matchmaker Jack Hanlon made a personal appeal to Yelling to start |sonaething He took it for granted ! hat Beniamin would find himself, but l he guessed wrong.
 Welling went out in the second with | q sprightly step and wicked punch and bounced d hard right off Benjamin $ chin. The crowd thought that would be the awakening point for the Cali fornian but he could not get started and complained to Gibson about the cold.
 The remaining rounds were rather tame. About the middle of the fifth round Benjamin bounced across the ring and landed several hard rights to yNelling's side Whis>ers. It brought forth trem endous hand but the ral- Iy was short and the Chicago battler
 quickly evened it up with several
 hard body punches. The sixth round
 was void of any particular action.

In the very first round Murray opened Fox's lip, damaged by Joe Lynch re- gently. with a straight left that an~ moved Fox throughout the combat

ARPENTIER WORTHY ! RIVAL OF DEMPSEY
Jeanette Pays French Cham- pion Quite a Tribute

|New York, Dec. 26.-Pcrhaps there
 mo boxer or expert on this side of
 A pond better qualified to pass an
 ftlion on Georges Carpenticr than
 Joe Jcannetlc, the veteran heavy
 light. There is no man in the
 lare1 circle with q better knowledge
 boxing than Jeannette nor no bet
 judge of fighters. Jeannette is a
 rminded critic and unbiased in hls
 ews Besides having fought Carpen- $f. Jeannette has followed the ca
 er of the French boxer closely and l s studied him inside and outside ot
 2 ring,
 ."Jacx Dempsey and no other fight
 " said Jeannette yesterday, can go Eo the ring against Carpenticr with l Q impression the Frenchman IS not great fighter. In the Frenchman bm psey will meet the most dlf1cult fopositlon Jack ever has tackled. korgas is fast, clever and strong, has |siirewo fighting head and is a good k1g general He is courageous and |ol in the pinches. Jack never met aWcrthy q rival.

Most the experts probably will acknoWl- kge that was a much harder man hit Ii Carpenter hit me, he there Ire should have little trouble in hit hg Dempsey. As I went down from Is blow I think the Frenchman is spable of dropping Dempsey also. s.sDpu't think I am picking Carpen- er to beat Dempsey. l wouldn't at Impt to pick the winner of the match ntiI within a few days of the con- sst after I had the opportunity of zing them up and knowing just how icy were going to enter the rmS. ernpsey has such an -annihilatlng at Lck that even as clever a boxer and harp hitter as Carpenter might not e able to stop him. But Georges . the toughest nut Jack has had to rack and Dempsey certainly will find lat out when he gets into the ring ith him.
