Carpenters Personality
Makes Him Big Idol Here

Though Georges Carpenter has only
been In this country for very short
time he has shown such wonderful ,
clcVcrness that every smart manager
or publicity agent would nnd him a
good lesson. 'ris quite a revelation 10
notice that tbs famous figure in sport
and war does anything asked II with
in reason. In fact, he steps out OF his
way TO be accommodating.
This startles an who can recOllect
the tour OF former champions. IL
was only a few years ago that Jess
Willard came q this city after seyering
the shackles from The white man Of
The lighting world. Instead OF enter
ing the town with The expected bang
OF the t0m-tOms he crept In silently
and refused TO face his wOrshippers
That Is unless they stepped right up
TO the box Office and separated them
selves from much money.
Then revert 20 the time that Jim
Jefferies, sullen and sour. swung
through here just before he fought
Jack Johnson. There was no afiabil-
ity about the big fellow; just light
err according 30 his actions. When not
on the stage Jen held himself al0of
| from his admirers and naturally didn't
increase his army Of idolaters. Maybe
twas his nature; nevertheless, he was
distant and that's What we're talking
| about
With this classy Frenchman con-
| dhiOns are far different. Whenever
/ he is invited and can find the time to
20 he is there. Possibly he goes there
/ figuring upon the publicity. II so, that
proves his smaIlness. The most sue
cessful part OF all his moves Is that he
makes them naturally and In such
manner that he creates an atmosphere
Of good nature wherever he Is.
The other night he visited Newark
TO witness a few bouts His presence
was advertised and brought Out quite
number Of spectators. He worked
an day In a studio and was worn out,
but insisted upon fulfilling his engage
ment. He could have demanded a
gO0dly sum for his appearance, but
wouldn't consider such a thing lie
was there as a guest and his clever
ness and tact wouldn't allow him 20
even dream OF accepting remuneration.
