CARPENTER YOUNG WHEN
 HE SUFFERED TWO DEFEATS.

Until recently the defeats Georges Carpenter suffered at the hands of the American middleweights, Billy Papke and Frank Klaus, back in 1912 have been pointed out as evidence that the French idol does not measure up well, according to American stand ards But of late the fact that the young 4Frenchman was not fully de- veloped at the time has caused ring critics to view these two battles in a different light.
 Although Carpenter failed to last the full twenty rounds with either old F'renchman demonstrated that from scientific standpoint he was superior. to. either of his opponents. He was beaten on both occasions only because his undeveloped body was not sturdy enough to withstand the pun ishnaent that the more experienced and rugged Americans handed out. That Carpenter is thoroughly game was amply demonstrated in both con- tests.
 Carpenter and Klaus met at Dieppe. June A, 1912. At that time Carpenter was the middleweight champion of France. He had but recently defeat ed Willie Lewis, the man who had been his early model. In Paris they thought Lewis was the greatest fight er in the world, barring Georges, of IscoaEse, So when. Carpenter succeeded in beatfng his old teacher he thought that his troubles were over and that he would have clear sailing in the | future. It never occurred to the youna Frenchnan- that Klaus classed with 1 the much admired Lewis, and he ex- pected an easy victory.

NO sET-UPS IN SHEPPARD,s
 REGENT DEBUT. SAYS LAWRENCE

,. George Lawrence did not select set ups for Johnny Sheppard in the Eng fish lightweight champions American debut recently. Sheppard came to Lawrence highly recommended as. con- cerned his fighting ability, but the veteran handler of boxers had to be shown, so he pitted Sheppard right off with three of the best American lightweights, Ritchie Mitchell Eddie Fitzsimmons and Willie Jackson
 Lawrence was satisfied with Shep- pard's work against this trio and he informed the Englishman he could stay here as long as he wished. "As soon as you get acclimated and learn the American style of I. boxing shouldn't wonder but that you will be fit candidate for Benny Leon ards laurels. You can have match with him as soon as you polish Johnny Dundee" said Lawrence to Sheppard after the latter's bout with Jackson in Philadelphia.
 Lawrence has received numerous of fers for Sheppard's services since his great bout with Jackson. A promoter in Columbus, Ohio, wants him for a bout with Dundee, and the Denver people would have Sheppard box Jackson again.
 Sheppard has an unusually good ring record. He has participated in 90 bouts, and scored .63 s=sknockouts. He came to this country February I He boxes at o'clock. He is willing to meet the American Ightweights as heavy as 40 pounds. First come first served, is his and Lawrence's notices.

McGRAW LIKES HIS STAFF OF
 PITCHERS, THINKS THEM o. K

With the pitching improving every day John McGraw can contemplate the exhibition tour with the Boston Red Sox as very timely proposition, as it enables him to groom his twirl- ing staff into an effective organiza- ton for the forthcoming champion ship race without imposing needless cares and worries. Ordinarily Me Graw would spend two weeks on his pitchers alone, and with perhaps half a dozen exhibition games just before the opening of the season would be zfuniTlg and fretting around until he saw them face the acid test of actual combat.
 As it is, the Red Sox are provid- ing major league opposition, although it must be admitted Barrow's team falls down at times; but there are some dangerous fitters on the club, Harry Hooper, chief among them. Any time a pitcher stands up in the box and begins throwing the old ball at men like Hooper he is taking a chance on collecting on his accident insurance. So when McGraw's box men have fared as well as they have and have shown the stuff they have against the Red Sox in eight games. they can be assumed to have reached nearly topnotch form.

SOME LIGHTWEIGHT DOWN
 IN ATLANTA, GA.

Down in Atlanta they have light weight under cover who seems to be better than the average. He is a youngster named Jack Lawler, whose fame has not travelled far as yet. Recently two New York stars came to grief at the gloved fists of Lawler. First. Johnny Dundee, thinking to pick up some easy money in the sticks, stopped off at Atlanta one night and dropped a referees de- c:sions to the local boy.
 . Benny Valger was the next to fall. valger, like Dundee, thought that Lawler would be easy for him, but he never made a worse mistake. Law Ter is credited with winning six rounds and holding the New York crack in the others. The referee awarded Lawler the decision and although Valger let out a vail of protest, the decision appears to have been a just one.

DIFFERENCE IN PITCHERS IN THE TWO LEAGUES, SAYS SCOTT.

Jim Scott, who for nine years was one of the mainstays in the box for the Chicago White Sox and the last two years has been twirling in the Pacific Coast league, gives a good, description of the difference in pitchers in the two leagues. He says:
 "Major league pitchers during the. season will average one pitched ball per man better in control; runners are all one step faster going to first base and make better use of the art of sliding; outfielders take that same extra step in going after fly balls and also play their batters more religious ly; infelders never fail to recover fumbled balls quickly in attempts to make some play. They are more ac- curate in assisting the outfielders in retrieving long hits.
 "As to pitchers, several in the Coast league have considerably more ability than the average in the majors By that I mean speed, curves, control,

James J. Corbett.is positive that the contemplated fight between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter will not be a Aone-sided affair. Tn fact, he believes that the French champion possesses the necessary qualifications to contest in the ring for the heavy weight championship of the world. This was the opinion expressed by the former heavy weight champion after sparring for a few minutes yesterday afternoon with Carpenter at the home of Jack Curley at Great Neck, L. l., where the French champion spent the day with Mme Carpenter. It was the first time that Corbett had ever seen the pugilistic sensation of Europe.
