Q FrGnCnnnan-
 When I had Fulton fighting Cog. hill in England recently. in the same ring and at the same show in which Beckett beat Eddie AIcGoorty in sev- enteen rounds, I studied the English champion very carefully, as thought that he would be Fulton's next op- ponent. He did not impress me as champion. I made up my mind then that the first good man that boxed him would get him.
 ''The quick finish is characteristic of Carpenter. That's the way he won most all of his fights when he was going so we'll before the war. A glance over Carpenters record will show that he generally has got his man quickly Take his fights with Bombardier Wells, for instance. He knocked out the Bornbardier in three rounds, then a year later repeated the trick in one round.
 'He had q terrific wallop then, and evi5enly his long Iay-off, occasion- ed by the war, has not robbed him of that wallop. However, if ever he meets Jack Dempsey, or even Fred Fulton. I think he'll suffer the same dose that he handed to MT. Beckett several years ago and gave boxing in that country an impetus that carried it along to it's present popularity, also declared that the quick defeat of Beckett was no surprise to him.

DEMPSEY WELL NOT BENEFIT BY
 HIS IDLE LIFE

Jack Dempsey will not don the padded mits again until late next spring if he follows his present plans. The heavyweight champion still has two months to serve with the circus and then he is going to California for a long spell of moying g picture work. He will not be able to box until late in February, and it may be July before he goes into the ring again.
 In that case it will be a full year since he won the title before he de- fends it in a no-decision bout. A year is a long time for an athlete to be idle. Even youngster like Dempsey Is likely to be s0ftened up a great deal by a year of easy living and show work.
 If Dempsey is caught out of con dition and bad fight when he re- turns to the ring. away will go the great reputation he earned by his sen

BECKETT WAS
 JOKE FIGHTER
 SAYS O'ROURKE

New York, Dec. 5-"I told you so, said Tom O'Rourke, manager of Fred Fulton, last night. after he had learn ed the result of the Georges Carpen- uer-Joe Beckett bout in London.
 I'm not the least bit surprised at the brevity of the contest told you before the fight l thought Car pentier would win inside of six rounds. The only thing I feared was that Carpenter might have burned himself out by his activities during pentier is extra enthusiastic even for downfall Of each of the heavyweight champions. Jeffrtes was the only one who was able to defend the title successfully a number of times and that was because Jeff hated stage work and stuck to the ring. All the others from Corbett to Willard re- mained idle so long that they lost form and were easy for their chal- Iengers.
