when he meets Richie Mitchell in a
ten round. no decision bout that
should furnish an excellent test Of
the Australians ability. Mitchell Is
not a boxer Of Championship calibre,

Veteran Jack McAuliffe
Says American Must
Watch His Rival.

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Jack McAu-
IN life. the only worlds indicated
lightweight champion, believes
Carpenter has more than emma
mans chance Of beating Jack Demp-
McAuliffe's opinion is at least in
terestinE, the more so because he
takes sides with the minority boxing
fans on this side Of the water who
believe Jasuues Dempsey's crown will
be in dire danger. when he toes the
mark with the Frenchman-
He Is n Good one
Il understand" said McAuliffe re-
Gently. that there are quite few
good folks on this side Of the Atlantic
who figure Georges Carpenter Is a
setup for our great Dempsey Now,
mebbe they're right No one viii be
able 10 say positively whether or not
Carpenter Is a Dempsey setup until
after he has met the champion.
a'But 1 want to say one thing in
particular for Carpenter Hes
one OF the crnftiest men I've seen
in the ring and I've seen a lot OF
senl- Hes nobody's boob. And
neither is this DeEcampss his
manager.
1T IS my humble belief that Carpen-
tier has better than a chance with
this Hes just like a torpedo aimed
at an anchored boat Once the tor
pedO collides with the boat there IS
no more boat
This Carpenter is a finished boxer.
what's more, he knows the American
style Why, he's been boxing like
American boxers for a good many
years I think he knows more about
b0Zing-the science Of titan Demp-
sey does. He has been fighting longer
and he Is a very smart lad Nothing
escapes him that he can use TO his
WIN BE some Battle.
Nov when these boys meet, and
they VIII surely meet within a year,
IL strikes me that Dempsey viii have
to win in a hurry II he's going 10
check up splendid victory over Car
pentier. Dempsey reminds me a whole
lot OF John l. Sullivan One OF those
hurry up, hammer -and-toEus lads. IL
he lands in his first rush or two they
carry the other fellow away in a
cart. II he fails to land on the button
the fight goes on And Il Dempsey's
fight with Carpenter lasts after the
first few rounds, well just look out
for Carpenter. The old title may
take a long vacation on the boule-
wards OF Gay Paree.
"DOn't forget that when Demp-
Eey faces thiH Carpenter he's
going TO look the fastesr fighter
OF the generation squareIy IN the
eye. Carpenter makes the fastest
fighters look slow. That's how
speedy he is And with his speed
he carries Wailop. When he hits
'em he hits 'en hard. What's
more Georges Is a fast thinker.
When Jess willard lost TO Demp-
sey in Toledo he overlooked & bet.
Had he been a fast thinker he would
have yelped for Dempsey's disquali-
when Jack left the ring,
thinking he had won And Jess would
probably have gotten by with II But
he wasn't a fast thinker Nothing
slow about the gray matter under

SCHUYLER CHALLENGES
HIS OPPONENTS TO DEBATES

Denver. May 26.-Karl Schuyler has
challenged Tully Scott to series of
joint debates. which will commence
about July 1st in different parts OF
Colorado, on the subject of the league
of nations.
Scott is announcing for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the United
States senate, declaring h is chief
plank was for the endorsement of
President Wilson's stand on the treaty
and the league of nations without res
ervations. Schuyler wants to take the
affirmative on the question that a
minimum acceptable guarantee of pro-
lection Of Americas true interests
lies in the adoption of the Lodge
reservations.
Tully Scott replied that he thought
a debate before the primaries would
be useless, but that IL he and Schuy
Ter were selected as the candidates
of their respective parties, he would
accept the challenge The correspon
dence was made public today at Schuy
ier's office.
