OF the Akron professional team. and

Japan, introducing the American
game.

What the fight fan wants to know
is: How Gomez"
Jack Kearns manager OF tho
champion, said after the bout thu
Dempsey was a bit too finely draw
He looked it, at that. And he wa
nervous as race horse while he
posed with Brennan for the Gamer
men, his legs atremble as he stooG
facing the Chicoagoan. He did not
ook like the same old Dempsey.
Throughout the twelve rounds II
appeared to some at the ring side
that Dempsey failed to take ad-
,antage of openings. Some whisp-
cred that maybe he was busy making

cures will be worth n lot OF money in
New York state.
The average man who saw the
light, however, is willing TO admit to-
lay that Brennan gave the champion

he wasn't judging distance as of old

At close range, however, Dempsey
'ummelled the Chicagoan unmerci-
fully and there were times when IL
seemed that he surely must go down.
At no time during the fight was
Dempsey In distress. In the tenth

with a circus and acted for the movies.

extent for the losses incurred by him
in the war when his coal mine proper
tiles at Lens were flooded. He also
attracted much adverse criticism.
Francois Descamps, Carpenters
shrewd manager, saw that something
must be done to counteract American
feeling, and SO he brought the Euro
pean champion back and let him
face Battling Levinsky. Carpenter
stopped a slow-moving, cracking vet
eran OF the ring in a most unimpres-
sive manner.
G -pentier, victor over Beckett, was
hailed as a seventh wonder OF the
world, possessing strength and skill
and cunning. Carpenter. vanquishing
Levinsky, lost most of his reputation.
Indeed. so far did he fall that, when
he appeared in the ring at Madison
Square Garden week or SO later
his introduction brought a chorus OF
"boos" from the gallery. He returned
to France. first signing to battle for
the worlds title.

pentier was acclaimed the hero Of
yore. Crowds feted him. He had to
employ secretaries to keep the gush-
ing girls at a safe distance. He was
again the great Georges. And then
came Moran. the clumsy boob who had
brought smiles to Carpenters face
back in Jersey City.
Moran, considered hopeless as q
title contender and praised only for
his stout heart, walks into Joe Beck

round. Carpenter had done II in sew

clumsy American succeeded in doing
the same things in less than five
minutes. 1t was as though a pin had
been stuck into the Carpenter bal
loon.
Britishers have begun to wonder il
the great Georges is as great as he
has been termed. They are beginning
to wonder if he will be able to make
even decent showing against the
worlds champion.
Americans, too. are beginning TO
have doubts as to the Frenchman's

the additions to their ranks.
NOW THEY'LL MEET.
Moran has all the courage In the

In the minds Of Londoners, who now
applaud the American.
So now Moran and Carpenter will
meet, probably in London. Carpenter
should win, and win easily. He Is

But Carpenter will be lighting to re-

fading from his brow since
Frank Moran spilled the beans with
that solid right.hand uppercut to the
point Of Joe Beckett's jaw.
And back here the movement
against the proposed Carpenter
Dempsey contest as New York pro-
duction is steadily growing. Cover
nor Miller is said to oppose It on the
ground that IT is Just a plain prize

with small incomes are growing at
giving two boxers 100000 for even
to box fifteen rounds.
Oh, it's a gay life, lads, a gay, gay

In March of the following year
Moran went to London and knocked
out Bombardier Wells in ten rounds
and George Sims In sisx. Coming
home TO New York, probably because
the Fokkers were beginning to drop
things on folks domes In London, the
Pittsburgher knocked out Jim Coffey
twice, thus getting a chance at Jess
Willard. On April 5. 1918, at Havana,
Willard had beaten johnson and
Moran was the only man who faced
the Kansan between the latter's vic
tory in Havana and the day Jack
Dempsey knocked him cuckoo at To-
ledo. July 4. 1913.
Moran and willard spared ten
slow. disgusting rounds at Madison
Square Garden on March 20. 1915.
John l. Sullivan, hero of heroes to all
American ring partisans, sat at the
ringside that night, and his great
booming voice was heard after the final
bout, crying, They're couple

days when he himself was supreme,

the ringside in Jersey City and
roared with laughter at tho clumsy
efforts at Moran to land on the slug

considering tackling Moran himself,

Georges evidently was quick enough
to SEQ his own difficulties. He has
been seeing them ever since. He now
must do something. il his possible
scrap for greater glories Is to come
about.
When Carpenter disposed OF Wells
the second time, he gained little by ii.
EngIishmen generally believed Wells
had seen his best days. But when
Carpenter dropped Joe Beckett with
one punch, ah, that was different. 1t
was largely on the strength Of that
victory that the Frenchman got any
