 Walsh, Mathewson, Cobb, Jeffries and other notables had their greatest years around the ages of % and 2. If the

 Frenchman is now at the crest of his prime. He is bound to be a far better man than he was around 1o and 20. Dempsey at 20 was unknown At Il he was only an ordinary boxer. Fitzsim-

 He intimates that he is being made 'the goat" to cover several of the most prominent players and magnets. Come forth, Lee, we are all on nerves.
 "The records attached to the boxing career of Georges Carpenter are trifle more than amazing" says Grantland Rice, in the New York Tribune.
 "The Frenchman was born on Janu- ary 12, 1894, so he is trifle more than % years old.
 "His last fight before the war was a victory over Kid Jackson at Bordeaux on July 25, 1924. A week later the red deluge arrived, and Carpentier was forced to give up boxing for more than five years, at the boxing prime of his career.

 With Duffy Lewis in camp only one veteran is an absentee in the Yankee camp.

On that date Jim Jeffries knocked out Peter Jackson in three rounds, and while the famous Australian negro was but shell of his former self, he stil carried the European heavy weight honors. The victory gave Jef- fries the right to the worlds heavy weight title beyond dispute.
 Jackson was the first Australian heavyweight champion. Later he add ed the title of English champion by knocking out Frank Slavin In London, and when he entered the ring against Jeffries he was the holder of Euro pean honors while Jeffries held un- disputed title to the American cham pionship.
