CHAPTER ONE.

This is the story OF Georges Carpen-
tier most popular athlete of the age.
1t is the tale of the career of the idol
of France, the holder Of the heavy
weight championship Of Europe, who
has come to our shores in search of
more fame and fortune.
Here Is French youth who started
his boxing career at the tender age of
II In the bantamweight division, and
punched his way to the pinnacle Of the
heavyweight class on the other side
of the world.
Smiling, debonair, like a tiger, yet
modest as schoolgirl, Carpenter won
his way into the hearts of Europeans
just as he is now winning favor in the
hearts of devotees of sport on this side
of the Atlantic.
Georges looks and dresses like a col
lege man. And he wears his toys with
the native grace of the Frenchman. His
cleaning white teeth, expressive blue
eyes and even features are in no way
suggestive of the prize ring, for he
bears none of the marks that are car
ried by big majority in the boxing
fraternity, such as the cauliflower ear,
the broken nose or other scars of prize

ALI Teams on Hand.
=, There are a few things which strike
the new soccer fan besides its great
popularity. Among these is the fact
mat all teams are on hand no anatter
wnat the condition of the weather and
despite the conventional besr kneed
llght uniform. This is no surprise to
any who have played the game as they
know mat there is no game that re-
CURES greater eXertion than soccer, vet
1t can be played Just as hard as you
please. There is always action to keep
tthe player on the alert. thus training
ms nervous system to instant response
besides making it absolutely necessary
that he keep his mind off all else. This
makes It an ideal recreation for any
body who cares for the strenuous in
GUS injury.
Another surprise is the large crowds
which turn out even on cold blustery
days. The reason for this Is that in
soccer game there is always action
rreplete with lightning-like shifting of
the advantage from one team to the
other which taxes the wits of all of the
contestants to the uttermost. Any game
to be worth watching must have plenty
OF action and must have an pen-style
or play. Soccer has all of these and
has aptly been called basketball played
the goals are feet by "a feet, and the
playing field is 1870 yards long by rs
yards wide. Every play is open and
above board or free from all massing
OF players. With the exception of the
goal minder no player is allowed to
handle the ball or to Intentionally touch
1t with his arm or hand.
Even the goal tender is not allowed
to run with the ball Any tripping,
charging from behind or any other un-
necessary roughness is penalized by
free kick and the player is liable to
be put out of the game. If a player
is put out of the game another is not
allowed to take his place.
The team which scores the greater
number of goals wins the game and is
given two points while the teams which
tie are given one point each.
