ARDM0RE BATTLES
! 'ashington Scrappers With One
Exception Gain Honors IN
Ring Bouts.

Washington scrappers with one ex-
ception featured .Ardmore bouts last
night. the District stable coming un-
der the wire in nne style with three
knockouts credited.
Mike Uraine. the dghting cop, was
the. lone exception to the District
battlers' victorious march. Craine,
thanks to referee Pat OConnor's
stopping the bout with Sailor Jack
Smith, was savsd from az-elean X.
o., although Sailor Smith will be
credited with one.
Tho Baltimorean always had Uraine
on the move and in the eighth after
Uraine had taken an ugly beating
O'Connor called off hostilities. Smith
had pecked away at Uraine's eye un-
til the doughty Mike was blinded.
Patsy Donovan, the flyweight, con-
ceded several pounds to Eddie Kid
Burke, Of Baltimore, and put that
worthy away in the first round with
a nicely timed solar plexus wallop.
Johnny Ray put Johnny Daily. Of
Baltimore to bed with a wallop in the
third round while Battling John l.

Ne Friction At All.
We have not been with the Grins
long, but we have been long enough
to be able to spike a report current
in Washington that there is dissension
among the players. Nothing to that
yarn, absolutely nothing. Each and
every player is ready and willing to
do his best. 1t Is unfair to them all
to spread such false chatter. The last
two scrappy gods on this team are
not now ON the roster. One retired
to run a meat market a year or so
ago and the other is talking about
managing an independent team in
Idaho.

he is of major caliber.
Boston writers don't hesitate TO con-
gratulate Washington on obtaining
Maurice shannon. They think he 10

the Red Sox shortstop, says Shannon
is the quickest man on double play

is some boost.

good health this spring and expects

But the chance that they win en-
gage In battle for the worlds heavy
weight championship makes q com.
parison of their records worth while
here, even though a big majority of
fstic fans on this side Of the Atlantic
are inclined to the belief that the pro-
posed bout between them will be
short and disastrous for Carpenter II
It is staged. ..,....
Carpenters record. so far as quick
knockouts are concerned, compares
most favorably with that of the
worlds champion. Dempsey has
Knocked out more opponents and some
bigger men than Carpenter. His
knockout victory over willard alone
is q very notable achievement despite
the fact that he performed 1t with
case.
Eight wsstA Mentisning.
There are perhaps no more than
eight men Dempsey has fought who
are worth mentioning in drawing
comparisons with Carpenter. These
lighters are willard. Misise, Fulton.
Morris, Brennan, Meehan. Gunboat
Smith and Levinsky. The rest Of
Jacks record means little or nothing,
for A novice like Gene Tunney or Bob
Martin could easily defeat the others
who have fallen before Dempsey's on
slaughts.
Carpenters record, with the easy
marks removed. leaves Gunboat
Smith, Joe Beckett Joe Jeanette,
Billy Papke. Bombardier Wells,
Frank klaus, Harry and Willie Lewis
and JEFF Smith as his most notable
opponents.
The outstanding opponent in Dsrnp-
.ey's record is willard. To Offset this
xiant of the ring Carpenter can offer
Toe Jeanette whom he met and
twice fioored in a fifteen-round bout
when jeanette was still a great
fighter.
II Ia true that the referee awarded
thc decision to jeanette, but accord
inz to the American method of decid-
ing a winner the story OF the light
proves pretty conclusivsly that Car
oentier won IL easily enough.
Jeanette II is pointed out, impressed
the referee By tapping with his
'sft hand oftener than Carpenter

Jeanette Was Better.
