MIKE URAINE TO CLASH

Mike Ursine, Washington's popular

with Jack Smith. of Baltimore. for
a ten-round bout at Ardmore on
April IS. Both men have posted for
feits to make l5S pounds at 3 o'clock
Uraine began his ring career at
Ardmore, and is known to all patrons
OF the sport in this section as an
earnest, hard worker, who always
gives the best in him. He hah been
boxing in Pennsylvania towns. and
now and then in Philadelphia, and re.
ports himself in fine condition.
Smith packs a solid wallop in his
right hand. Last week he knocked

been developed in the last eight years

American style OF lighting from sew

Billy Papke and Frank Klaus eight

Carpenter today and Carpenter
nve years ago are just about as far
removed from one another as the
freshman foot ball player is removed
from the seasoned moleskin gladiator
who Is earning his last college let
ter as member Of the varsity
eleven.
fortunately, Carpenter came
through the war without manning
wounds. He came out of the army
enjoying better health than he had
ever enjoyed before and, although he
did not have an opportunity to put
many hard fistic battles under his
belt during the four years Of strife
he managed to keep himself in prime
condition and he did quite a lot OF
boxing. all the while working to i'm.
prove his style.
Here. then. is the sort Of a chal-

to seek battle with the Great Demp-

Georges looks and dresses like a
college man. And he wears his togs
with the native grace OF the French
man. His cleaning white teeth, ex-
pressive blue eyes and even features
are in no way suggestive or the prize
rtnS, for he bears mono OF the marks
that are carried by a big majority in
the boxing fraternity, such as the
cauliflower ear, the broken nose or
other scars OF prize ring battles.
He speaks but little English, and
that very brokenly. But he Is atten-
tive to the casual inquisitor and
smilingly obliges by answering ques-
tions through the medium of an in
terpreter. He Is every inch an ath-
lete and every ounce a gentleman
who Is bound to win popular favor
wherever he goes. He Is, withal,
model of the new, cleaner cut and
clear-eyed type OF athlete who pre-
dominates all branches of sport to-
day, and IL he Is a trifle proud OF his
popularity and ability as a ringster
he may easily be pardoned, for he has
earned his place In the spotlight.
