Won't Forget That Bout
Carpenter will probably always
remember his battle with Willie
Lewis because the crafty veteran
nearly knocked him out with a solid
right to the jaw in the sixth round.
Georges had been holding his own up
to that time and he was pretty badly
dazed. Lewis punch sent him to hts
knees and he took a long count be-
fore getting up, but gamely stuck
out the round, and several rounds
later was as fresh as ever.
Lewis tried to defeat Carpenter in
as few rounds as possible He figured,
and rightly. that unless he did so the
superior staying qualities OF the
youth would be a big handicap. But
try as he might, Lewis could not re-
peat the punch that had felled Car
pentier. and as the bout wore on he
had ali he could do to keep out of
harms way himself. From the tenth
to the finish Carpenter piled up .
lead against his crafty rival. and de-
spite the knockdown In the sixth
round he won a popular decisions
Had Carpenter been other thqn .
lion-hearted youth he would never
have reached the pinnacle he has
gained in his chosen profession TO-DAY.
He doesn't impress one as a man Who
can take a great amount OF punish
ment. yet his record shows that in the
summer OF 1912 he took terrihc
beating at the hands of Frank Klaus
and made one OF the gamest showings
in French nstic annals
Klaus. at his best. was a terrfnc
puncher and a furnishing inhghter.
Carpenter. having learned compara-
lively little of the American style OF
hghting at this time, knew little or
nothing of infighting, and what Klaus
htaught him of 1t was paid for dearly.

Ever since their victory last fall
some OF the Reds have looked at
things from a wrong angle. Their
domes became greatly enlarged as
they listened to the hectic remarks OF
admiring fans. Called upon to sign
contracts for this year, some went
well-nigh insane, signing only after
long delay. 1t is some of these hold
outs who are now acting like fools.
How can the Reds win another
pennant unless they are In shape to
go through six months OF the hardest
kind of work? How can they hape TO
stave off the Cubs, the Pirates and
kind of work? How can they hope TO
work as hard as their rivals? Do they
imagine that their opponents will
surrender without a struggle?

DIR. Colvin analysed the present politi..
cal liquor situation and those aspects OF
our political system which relate to it and
showed how it il that although Prohibition
is in the Constitution the liquor interests
persist in politics He noted the fact that
they have taken advantage OF the com
plcxity of our governmental system and
have maintained balance of power be-
tween political parties, particularly in
certain close States. The larger parties
still fear to ALLEVIATE the wet vote in those
close States and we have the disgraceful
spectacle of the election to the highest
Office in the world being dependent upon
the worst elements in the electorate.
He declared that one of the most i'm
portant political reforms of the near future
is reform in the method of nominating
Presidential candidates. The national
conventions of both parties were domi-
mated by the wet interest and nominated
candidates about as wet as could he
found among the aspirants for the nomi-
nation. Never before have the two larger
parties nominated such inferior candidates
for President as they have this year. They
are the typical natural product of the last
expiring effort of an outlawed traffic TO
dominate American politics.
He said that theProhibiton party come s
with a more urgent message than ever be-
fore. The issue is whether there shall be q
Standardization of mankind; whether
constitutional government shall survive;
whether the viii of the people es over
whelmingly expressed under constitu-
tional forms shall prevail, whether our
politics shall be dominated by an out
lawed traffic in a few close States or by tho
law-abiding citizens of the nation.
