 WIFE ASKS HIM TO QUIT RING

Paris, March 9-Georges Carpen- Ger, the heavyweight boxing cham pion of Europe and challenger of Jack Dempsey for the worlds cham pionship, was married yesterday morning to Mile. Georgette EIsasse at the Town Hall of Montparnasse, Dis trict of Paris. The religious -cere- mony will be performed at a Paris church today.
 All attempts which were more em> phasized than insisted on, to keep the ceremony secret failed utterly, and an enormous crowd fairly mobbed the bride and bridegroom as they drove away to a luncheon given in their honor by Deschamps, Carpenters equally famous manager.
 The marriage raised the question among French followers of the sport as to whether a man fights better or worse when he is married.
 There is no question, however, that Mme. Carpenter will unnerve her husband by her prese1ice when he battles for the worlds championship tI could not bear to see any one hit Georges" she has declared, 'I can not understand why women go to see boxing matches"
 Deschanps declares that after his fight with Dempsey Carpenter will retire from the ring. After a few days honeym oon, Carpenter and his bride are to sail for America, where the boxer has arranged to fight ir front of the movie camera.

KetcheLL An d Palmer Win
 At rnaOrU
By Les Lev.

Another successI That was the opin> ion of the one thousand fans who crowded into the Armory A. As fourth monthly smoker. Four bouts of four rounds each were held. Each bout went the limit. In the final bout Al Ketche1 received the decision over Bobby Reimer, who substituted for Young Angelo. Bud Palmer was returned victor over Eddie O'Brien in the semi-1nal event of the evening. Young Mack of Hartford, and Young O'Leary of the Acorn club went four fast rounds to a draw. In the pre- liminary setto of the smoker Packey Hannon, a local boy. beat Jack Rey- holds of New Haven.
 The Al Ketche1-Bobby Reimer fight
 was a nip and tuck affair all through i the four stanzas. Ketchel took the first round by his strong body blows i and managing to give two blows for
 every one he took. The Hartford lad did his best at all times and the i Yankee Boy had to extend himself to l get the round. When Parker raised 1 Ketchel's hand there was a great l boing which evidently showed that 1 the fans did not approve of the | referees decision. The Bridgeport l boy really won the fight. He landed three times to Reimer's one. He led all the way and landed the harder punches.
 The Bud Palmer-Eddie o'Brien
 which was billed as the star bout was put off as the semi-finaL This bout
 was also fast one, and it was ap-
 plauded by the fans after Palmer re-
 ceived the verdict.
 The third stanza was tine East Sid
 CTS all the way. It was in this round
 that Bud had the New Hayener on
 the verge of a knockout, but the Ital-
 ian did not have the nedeed strength
 to put it over. Bud used his left most 1 of the time, hardly using his right.
 The last inning O'Brien came back Q
 little refreshed and made Palmer ex-
 tend himself to get the ovetted yer
 diet. Both boys were given a big hand when they left the ring.
 Young Mack, of Hartford, and
 Young O'Leary, of tho Acorn club, l | fought fast draw. They started off slow, neither boy doing any punching. l They were both afraid of each other 3 and would not fight.
 l The preliminary event of the even- r ing proved to be the best comedy bout
 of the smoker even though the fellows
 knew nothing about boxing. Packie e Hannon beat Jack Reynolds of New r Haven in the first bout. Both boys } were tired out in the second round i but each boy came back with the in l tention of sticking to the final bell [ This bout provided the fans witr T laughter and the principals were giv- r en a big hand when they left the
 1 ring.
 i Billy Hogan was the announcer anG n matchmaker of the show. Andy r Parker refereed in fine style. M. r . O'Connor held the old Waterbury

Harry Wills, Negro
 Boxer, Wrestler Now

Harry Wills the giant negro pugiI- fst, soon will abandon the ring for the mat, it is reported. His failure to obtain matches with the leading white heavyweight boxers is given as the reason which impe1s Wills to turn to wrestling. He is said to con- template making his debut as a grap- pier at a. show to be held in Brooklyn in the near future. The New Orleans black is @ big powerful fellow, but it is not generally known that he is par ucularly skillful in the arts of twist and tug. Negro wrestlers are few and far between, and as the white grap- piers are certain to draw the color line sharply, Harry may find the pickings as lean in wrestling as they are for him in boxing.

DAVIDSON OF
 ELM CITY CLUB LEAVES PASTIhIE:

Claude Davidson. who played a good game at third for New Haven last season, may not be with the Elm City club this year. The young ster threatens to retire from the game and if he does New Haven will lose a valuable player. Davidson Il was recently engaged as assistant coach of the Harvard team. He works in a Boston bank and believes those two jobs will keep him busy.
 Since his college career with Brown, Davidson has had a great deal of professional experience. I'm mediately after he finished his course with the Brunonians, Connie Mack snapped him up for the Athletics and he showed great promise when taken South three years ago. Davidson however, lacked experience and while working to place him with minor league club, the Cincinnati Reds in- tercepted the move and he was made the property of the National League club.
 With the Reds Davidson also failed to stick and was sold outright to the St. Paul club of the American Asso- citation. Preferring to play in the East, Davidson obtained his release from the Saints and, coming. this way he caught on with New Haven. Las season he had such 9. good year thai George Weiss sold him to the Wash ington Americans. Davidson joined the Senators after the Eastern League season and took part in severa games until an injury to his les finished him for the remainder of the season.
 A tangle followed over salary Da vidson claimed was due him and tn; matter had to be settled by the Ma tional Commission, which ruled in thu players favor. After this wrangle wa! cleared Manager Griffith of the sena tors turned him back to New Ha ven. It now remains to be seer 1 whether he will be with the Weiss men the coming season.

NEW HAVEN $ WELL FIXED IN
 0UTFIELD NON

New Haven, Mar. 9.-With the big leaguers either en route or already at work at the various training camps in the South, local fans are looking eagerly for dope from New Havel: club headquarters. Exa imitation of the club roster of the Savin Rock team for next summer Grscloses the fact that Owner Weiss right now can boast of the fastest outfield in the Eastern League surely and possibly in minor league ball
 Simpson, who will report early this season instead of after the pen nant chase is well advanced as he did last summer, is naturally a 300 hitter and last year was his first be- low that mark. As it was he was one of the best defensive players in the circuit and lead in sacrifice hits. There is no question that this will be a banner year for him.
 Twombley should prove the real outfieId sensation if past performances go for any thing. The centerfielder reported late last season and out Of condition, but these !landicaps did not prevent him from hitting a .392 clip. Twice he topped the Interna- tional League batters and should dU- plicate this stunt in the Eastern.
 Another department that needs Iit- tie or no attention is the twirlipg. Bender of course, will be the big noise of the entire circuit, while Jack Watson in condition. is a real major leaguer. Chick Daives. Jake Hehl, Bill Tyler and Furman, the Cleveland recruit, will go to make up staff of real classy performers.
 But owner Weiss, ever progressive, will mt he satisfied with ST7nGfno pat. If the many men who will come here after the big timers begin trim ming down are better than the veter- ans the veterans will go. New Ha- ven is going to be a real contende1 this year and sentiment should not prevent getting the best talent avail able.

Notes Of ArnoOry Bouts

Several times during the smoker sev- eral body blows looked low but the only one that went below the line was the time Hannon hit Reynolds below the belt. That blow hurt Reynolds but he didn't say anything.

The last bout was a corker. There was a big booing when the referee raised KetchePs glove in token of vic- tory. The Yankee Boy really deserv- ed it. There was a rumor that Ketchea held back his blows. but the writer did not see anything like that.

with his pink shirt Andy is sorry i he wore it now. In the third bout he got his beautiful shirt smeared | with blood.
 Eddie O'Brien, who fought Bud Palmer last night, is the father of seven kids. Eddie is quite an old man and has entered the ring to make money to buy shoes for his youngstSrs. He did pretty well for an old man.
 The first bout was real bur1esque. Both boys were tired out in the sec ond round. First one would lead and then the other would do the same. Throughout the four rounds thief fell all over each other and it is a wonder they finished the bout. They received more applause than all the other box CTS put together.
 Reynolds is certainly a tough boy. Many a boxer would have quit under the blows of Hannon. Neither boy knew anything about boxing but they put all force behind their blows. Han non is a conner and he should be seen in a local ring again.
 Dick Howell knew what he was talking about when he said that Young Mack was a conner. His bout with OLeary proved mat.
 O'Leary was not punished at all after the bout. He did not have a mark on him. Mack had a bloody nose and a hurt stomach. Both boys were afraid of each other. Neither would give the other any chance of hitting at the break. This holding made the bout look slow and it was repeated all through the setto. It is believed that they will be rematched.
 Young Mack and Eddie O'Brien were minus bathrobes. No reason for Young Mack not having a bathrobe. You'n get one bye and bye, won't you, Mack.
 There was only a half pound differ ence in weight between Young O'Leary and Young Mack.
 young Angelo appeared at the clubh ouse with a bad ear. Hogan took him to the center of the ring and made a cute little speech about Angelo not being able to fight. Hogan announced that Bobby Reimer, whc was supposed to meet Mickey Travers would take the Stamford boys place

PIANIST MADE A
STRONG IMPRESSION

A goodly number of auditors as
sembled in the Normal School Audi
torium Wednesday evening to hear
Mr.. Harold Henry render rich
program or the piano. We are glad to
give the following criticism from the
pen of Dean Froysaa.
Harold Henry, the distinguished
American pianist, gave the third num-
Der on the Artist Course in the Nor
NAL Auditorium Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Henry is sincere and sympa-
thetic artist, with highly developed
power of Interpretation. His techni-
cal equipment is always eminently
adequate, the tone> beautiful, while his
playing evinces good taste and sound
musicianship.
The well-balanced program included
numbers ranging from Bach to De,
bussy, but the biggest contribution
was by our American composer, Ed
ward Mcdowell, magnificently render
ed by Mr.. Henry. The artists own
"The Dancing Marionette", is very
clever bit of writing. The interest
ing program closed with wonderfully
billiant performance of Moskowsky's
Caprice Espagnole.

LANCER FIRES
SOME HOT SHOTS

Bismarck, N. D., March 2.-Liken-
ing the shooting out to other banks
of poor collateral" orders which Roy
M. Halliday wrote to the Scandinav-
n-American bank officials to a
hypothetical case of the sheriff of q
county tipping off blind pigger that
a raid was due, advising the pigger to
take the brew to the place Of another
party, and then the sheriff telling the
pigger to get his stuff after the raid
was over, Attorney General William
LANCER in fiery attack on Townley
and Townleyism told the inside story
of a few of the recent Incidents in con-
nection with the management of the
state affairs. His address was one of
the three political features staged
simultaneously in Bismarck last Fri
day.
Langer read from several letters,
Photographic copies of documents
taken from the Scandia bank. He
offered a reward if the Courier News
or any league paper could be induced
to mention the SIC, 900 bond which was
said to have disappeared and explain
ed why that matter was dropped so
quickly. The explanation was simple:
The bank examiner, Halldorson, was
under 100000 surety bond and the
bank and state were amply protected
AS usual LANCER detied any one in
the audience to have him arrested un-
der the anti-liar's or any other law
for mis-statement of fact. He outlin-
ed in length the Minnie J. Nelson con-
troversy, the Valley City bank deal
and then scathingly excoriated Rep
resentatives Held and Prater of Bur-
leigh county for being led by their
noses, and especially for having con-
doned the resolutions charging Lam
ger with IA violations of his oath, the
resolutions which were passed at the
closing day of the special Frazier
Faciliation convention.
