SPLIT SEASONS NO

For the Texas league to raise It's head

ridiculous in the extreme, writes Otis

OF saying more money for the club

Naturally, no club owner wants to
play angel for his team unless he

poor way to go about it.

For two and possibly three weeks,

Denapsey's Chance
80 Meet Carpenter
Is Very Remote

NEW YORK, July 9.-Chance of a
championship bout between Georges
Carpenter and Jack Dempsey is re-
garded as unlikely before next year,
If ever" jack Kearns, Dempseys man
ager, declared yesterday, following q
conference here with Francois Des-
champs, the Frenchman's manager, and
others prominent in boxing circles
Kearns had signified his willingness
at the conference to contract to box
Carpenter at any time or place, agree
able to the two principals, for the high
est purse offered; but William A. Brady,
representing Charles Cochran, London
fight promoter, produced a contract
which Carpenter signed after he
knocked out Joe Beckett, the English
heavyweight in London last fall. This
contract gave Cochran an option until
December 81 next. A clause forbids
Carpenter or his manager from even
discussing Dempsey with any other pro-
moter.
Deschamps took refuge behind the
clause.
Apparently the only avenue open for
discussion Of a match would be for
Kearns and Dempsey to accept Carpen-
tiers challenge issued in Paris last
year in which it was specified that the
bout would h I'VE to be held in England
or France under Cochran's manage
ment.
Kearns however, refustd to consent
to have Dempsey go to Europe to de-
fend his title. He would not bind him
self to deal with Cochran also, as he
believed it would preclude all chances Of
obtaining a higher bid from some other
promoter.

States several months ago, will sail
home next Saturday. He said he would

MIDDLE CHAMPION
. IN POOR EXHIBITION
Johnny Wilson Shows to Poor
Advantage Against Bart
field in Recent Battle.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Johnny Will
son, of Harlem, the new middleweight
champion, made a rather drab impress
sion in his finst bout since winning the
title from Michael O'Dowd, the rugged
citizen of St. Paul.
Wilson'S first appearance since beat
ing O'Dowd, and, incidentally, his first
bout in the metropolitan district as a
topnotcher was against the veteran
Soldier Bartfield at Newark.
After IL rounds of jabbing clinching,
sidestepping and swinging with Bart
field, the new champion was awarded
a popular decision by the critics at the
ringside, a few of whom refused to
concede him better than draw.
Consensus of opinion was that Wilson
ming he failed to disclose anything re-
sembling latent ability of the variety
that might account for his victory over
O'Dowd.
To be frank, Wilson'S showing was
a disappointment. Some may say that
Bartfield is the sort of a boxer who
because of his very awkwardness is
liable to make any good boxer look bad
but as a matter of fact Wilson failed to
show the finish that a champion should
have. All he exhibited was a limited
knowledge of the grand old game.
Another point which discounts his
standing as a champion of the first wa
ter is the fact that he apparently lacks
initiative and aggressiveness. He often
upset Bartfield's attack during their H.
round melee, but having done that he
seemed at loss as what to do next,
falling to follow up an advantage. He
also showed a penchant for clinching
that was unbecoming champion.
Wilson, being a southpaw, stands with
his right hand and foot extended. yet
Bartfield, on several occasions, forced
the champion to pull in his guard and
cover up his stomach to avoid his rival S
wicked drives. So his portside stance"
didn't count, for much against the
rugged soldier.
In the early rounds of the bout Will
son jabbed cleverly with his extended
right and brought his left into play,
using hooks and uppercuts successfully,
but as the bout wore on he apparently
forgot that this style had been sue
Perhaps Wilon was not himself
against Bartfield. He may have been
stale and, as boxers sometimes do, he
may have found Bartfield a puzzle that
he couldn't solve effectively. Yet criti-
cism should only tend to help him i'm
prove, and he has plenty of room for
improvement.
Like a good many boxers of this day
and age, Wilson has very good de-
Tense. His defense in fact, Is more
highly perfected than his offense. But
If he expects to hold the middlewight
championship for any length of time
he will have to FURNISH up his offensive
tactics or he will run into a storm
some of these fine days and come out
minus the title he took from O'Dowd,
and that at the hands of some boxer
who may be blessed with nothing more
than aggressiveness and a stiff wallop.

American. Now, on the face of 1t
Johnny did not look like the sure thing
that this speculation would infer; and
the first round was proof positive that
betting on the visitor was a bold stroke;
Coulon reeled under the force Of right.
Juliard, however, contemplated his
handiwork. instead OF following up this
advantage, and the clever American
Ieeled his way along the ropes while
recuperating his energy. So when the
round ended Juliard had done enough
to impress all present with the idea
that the slam would not go far. True,
it did not, but the end was far differ
ent to the one that had seemed proba-
BILE.
So the French boy returned to his
corner full of his initial success and
probably under the impression that he
had a soft thing on. That Is perhaps
why he left his quarters at the second
cali for all the world as il he were off
for stroll in the Bots de Boulogne
His hands we're still swinging by his
side when that wonderful right caught
him. Springing from his chair on the
call of time, Coulon dashed acros the
ring, shot out his dexter fist, and 1t
was all over. So rapidly was this done
that the gong's vibrations were still in
the air when Juliard was on the boards.
