After Carpenter had been carried
around the ring, the prince of Wales
cordially shook his hand and congrat-
uiated him. The prince also shook
Beckett's hand, saying:
Better luck next time

was cheering, including the prince of

sons who had gathered outside in the

the victor.
The only effort made by Beckett in
the fight was to cut loose a vicious
uppercut with his right after he had
received the first jab to the face. The
blow missed by more than a foot.
During the war Carpenter was con-
spicuously daring as an aviator. He
was frequently commended by his su-

decorations conferred upon him was
the military medal, the highest war

.SHARKEY NOT IN
SAME CLASS WITH
FLYWEIGHT CHAMP
New Yorker Should Be Out
pointed by Wilde When
They Meet Saturday in Mil
Waukee-JaCk Is Heavier.
BY OSCAR c. REIcHow.

CHICAGO. Dec. SLACK Sharkey, of
New York, is training religiously at
the Arcade gymnasium for his fight
with Jimmy Wilde, flyweight champion
Of England, Saturday night at Milwau-
kee, but if he hopes to avoid being ut
pointed he will have to show more
speed and science than he did yester-
day in his four-round sparring exhibi-
ton. 1t is only keeping the fight fans
posted to say hat the Gotham bantam
does not rank with the little English
champion when it comes to clever box
ing, footwork or speed. In these Wilde
- the better by a goodly margin and
II the contest goes the distance, 10
rounds, the Britishep should win handily.
To say that Sharkey Is not as sci
entific or speedy as Wilde does not
mean the battle is going to be disap-
pointing. 1t is not the. intention to
create that impression. The contest
should be web fought and interesting
from start to finish because Sharkey
realizes that he is meeting one of the
cleverest little men that has stepped
into the ring in this country in Years
and he is going into the battle, not pre-
pared merely to box with him, but to
mix and force the milling at all times.
That is the only chance he will have
to win.

Peril in Wilde's Jab.

Sharkey is rugged and depends on his
fighting qualities rather than his sci
ence to win for him, He viii enter the
ring outweighmg Wilde by several
pounds, which will give him an ad-
vantage, and If he Is able to stand the
blows of the visitor his chances of gain .
Ing a victory will be increased, but it
Is believed after watching him work
that he will experience difficulty in
slipping past Wilde's lightning left jab.
And there Is no reason to doubt that
the latter will make good use of that
left jab, as Sharkey is inclined to
open when pressed and hurried.
Wilde Is so fast a two-handed fighter
that he will probably win easily on
points providing he does not run into
one of S~harkey's wicked right crosses.
This he Is not likely to do as he plans
an extended tour Of this country before
going back to England and unquestion-
ably will not take any unnecessary
chances. although 1t Il believed he will
be on his toes at all times fighting the
best he knows how to make as favor
able an impression as possible in his
first battle in this country. In his eX-
hibition here last week he left the idea
that he is a great little fighting ma
chine Of the nervous type who knows
nothing else but action while in the
ring.
Sharkey is more deliberate in his
work, watching all the time for ar
opening to land a telling blow. He
seems to be easily deceived by his op.
%ponent's feints and has no skillful way
Of slipping. -%ducking or stepping inside
Of blows that follow, His, method o.
%crouching, with his hands almost out
of position to hit, is a faulty one, anG
for a clever boxer like Wilde ought t.
be duck soup" speaking in the yer
nacular Of the pugilist. If Sharkey
fights in the ring as he did in the gym,
nasium yesterday he will have to b,
on guard for ripping uppercuts from
his opponent, who is expert and sting!
with that particular punch.
