French Champion Says AL
Roberts Has Ability and De-
velopment of Good Fighter

Georges Carpenter Is quoted by
"Igoe" in this mornings New York
World as having made several com
plimentary remarko about Al Roberts
after the French champion of Eur
ope had witnessed the Roberts-Willie
Meehan bout at tho Newark Sports
mems Club on Monday night. Jack
Curley translated the remarks made
by the Frenchman which were as
follows:
Roberts IL a finely built fellow.
He has wonderful development. and
1 was taken with his punching,
though It would be better II he could
hit faster. He lacks the experience,
they tell me. and he will improve. 1
feel sure, as he goes along. He was
fighting a man much faster than
himself in Meehan, but he fs a good
man, no doubt of that.
II was delighted to see my friend
Joe Jeanette In Roberts's corner.
He will lack nothing IN education Of
the ring If he mas Joe with him much
of the time. Roberts has picked up
a few of Joe's smart tricks, / could
see that. / fought big Joe, and l
know what he has done and can do.
He is popular. too. His reception
was pleasing to hear.
81 laugh when / see Joe's hair.
| Most of II has gon away n ! ask
him where, and he says that It has
been knocked of. / noticed that
Roberts blocked we'll and fell inside
punches. That is Jeanette. He Is
| supreme in hat branch of fighting.
But Meehan. He Is a funny man.
| To look at him you would not think
he could fight more than one round.
! But what a surprise! He fought fast
err and harder in the eighth round
than he did In the first, and the pity
of 1t is that he must carry 80 much
extra weight. However. he outpoint-
ed Dempsey, and that is n lot to say.
They say he was as chubby then as
he is today. Yet I can't imagine
how Dempsey did not get inside Nee
hans swings. 1 can whip any swing
err I ever saw, I believe. No man who
swings can defeat a straight puncher,
and that Is why l am puzzled that
Dempsey did not win. 1t Is very
| odd"

are caused by a tiny disease germ
in the blood, which multiplies by
! the million, and until these germs
are routed from the blood, you can
see how futile local treatment will
be. In fact. you can use iiniments
by the gallon and never hope to
reach the cause of your trouble.
So many people have found real
permanent relief from their Rheu-
matism by the use of S. s. S. that
its use is justified in practically
every case. Certainly if your Rheu-
matism is due to a germ in the
blood, as so many thousands OF
cases are, you should lose no time
in beginning the use of S. S. S,
because you can rely upon this fine
old blood remedy to do you more
| good than any other treatment.
s. s. S. is beneficial in Rheuma-
| tism because it is such a thorough
| blood medicine. 1t cleanses the
blood of all impurities, and eradi-
Gates the germs which cause Rheu-
matism. The wonderful results it
has accomplished in other cases
is proof of its great merit. S. S. S.
has been on the market for more
than fifty years and is sold by all
druggists.
