Paul Ghost wrote this para graph
"Dempsey has not shown that he is
an unusually resourccful boxer. Re Is
one OF the fastest heavyweights that
ever lived He is a terrific hitter, He
possesses an unusual amount OF nervous
energy. His muscles respond like the
muscles OF lightweight. His COURAGE
Is unquestioned. He does not know

At the same time Gibbons believes
that a heavyweight who was exceeding

FRENCHMAN MAGNET.
IN JERSEY CONTEST
Carpea tiers Personality VIII
Attract Thr0ng to the
Ringside.
By CHARLES f. MATHIsON.

Although a great many boxing en-
thusiasts are OF the opinion that Car
pentier will overwheIm LevinslSy to-
morrow night in Jersey City, yet there
Is O strong desire on the part OF all 10
see the Frenchman in action. The po-
sition OF the man as the leading pugllist
OF Europe, combined with an attractive
personality and a creditable military
record, all tend to enhance him In the
eyes OF American sportsmen. Again.
there is eagerness To get a line on his
pugilistic status because of the fact
that as he stands he is the logical OPP
ponent of Dempsey. A match between
Carpenter and Dempsey would attract
more attention and draw "A greaAer
crowd than any bout in the history of
the heavyweight division, But should
the Frenchman fell to decisiyeiy defeat
Levinsky, a match between the cham
pions OF Europe and of the world would
not be worth promoting.
IL is these possibilities that have
placed the F'renchrnan in the spotlight
and turned the eyes of the sporting
world toward him. He is the magnet
who will draw the thousands to the
Jersey City ball grounds tomorrow
form well the spectators will restrain
their enthusiasm till the Frenchman APP
pears.
1t will seem strange to see Kid Lewis
among the preliminary boxers, and the
fact that he will meet Marcel Thomas
In a six round encounter Is Que to
Lewis effort to retrieve some of the
prestige he lost in his bout with Mike
O'Dowd in the same ring.
Another good preliminary bout will
bring together frankie Burns and Patsy
Johnson.
The Commonwealth Sporting Club
should rearrange its schedule for next
Thursday night. 1t has advertised
Charlie Beecher and Roy Moore IN
fifteen round bout, which is to be the
chief event of the night. In a twelve
round preliminary Tommy Noble, con-
queror of johnny Murray is TO box
Bobby Michaels. the East Side knock
out king, Even If the club persists in
putting the Beecher- Moore bout on last
the MicIa els-Noble bout will be re-
gardcd by the onloo,Sers as the main
event Noble is an interesting boxer
and Michaels will keep any OF the 1870
Founders guessing.
incidentally Kid MCFARLAND has been
assigned to referee. wnich is an assur-
ance that the boxers will be properly

Tommy Burns Made
 Quick Work of Roche

Tommy Burns knocked out Jem Roche in 1st round at Dublin on this date in 1908. That was a sad St. Patrick's Day for the sports O Dub lin Town. The little Canadian was then on his triumphal tour of the world in the role of heavyweight champion, and Roche was expected to be the guy who would show him up. At least, quite a lot of Irish sports thought that poor Jem, the hope of Ireland, for whom the spec. tal intercession of St. Patrick had been invoked, had scarcely realized that the fight had commenced when he was caught in a malestrom of blows Just IS seconds of the first round had been licked off when biff!-Tommy put over the knockout
 It is related that one of the specta. tors immediately rushed from the building and shouted: Roche is kill. Ing the poor devil of an American
 can't look at it any longer, and I'll sell my ticket for two pounds" One of the fans who had been unable to obtain ticket immediately bought the pasteboard, and the seller went off rejoicing He was one of a, very few happy men in Dublin that night.

REVIVE OPERA
 200 YEARS OLD

Cambridge, Eng, March 1S-Pur- cells opera "The Fairy Queen" has been revived at the New Theater here with great success, after a lapse of more than two centuries.
 The first and only performance of this old English masters work was given in 1893. The score was af- rewards lost, and in 1701 an adver- tisement appeared in the London Gazette offering a reward for it's dis covery, but without result. Exactly 200 years later it was found in a dusty cupboard at the Royal Acad- emy of Music among a bundle of manuscripts bequeathed to that in stitution.

ST. STILL
 SUPREME IN FUR

St. Louis is about the last place in the world that would be connotated with furs in the mind of the average individual, yet the importance of this strangely placed market is again em- phasized by the news that a St. Louis firm has just contracted for the de- livery of the entire seal catch of the Lobos Islands, a faraway group off the coast of Uruguay. In the trade St. Louis is well known as the largest fur market of this continent and only a little behind London in it's impor- tance. There one may find skins from all parts of North and South America, and from the far off Pribi1offs, Mon go1ia, Greenland, Siberia and the Orient.
 It was not always a strange place for a market. Fur traders located there in the old days when waterways were the channels of the fur canoes and when the confluence of the Mis- siouri and the Mississippi brought the belts of the great wilderness to that region. English, French and Ameri- can traders alike found profitable bar | gaining there. The market has con | tinued, although it's original great at tractiveness has passed.

Peter Herman Starts
 Studying to Become
 Real Civil Engineer

New York, March 18.---Pete Her man, worlds bantamweight champion, is using his brains. Not that the clever youngster has ever been ac- cused of failing to make them work for him-his title in the fistic world proves that---but now he is using them in a new direction. Pete doesn't fear for his laurels for some time to come, but he sees a future beyond the ring when his punch deserts him. So he has turned to books He wants to be civil engineer and he is going about it in the self -educative way.
 It didn't look quite natural to see Pete coming out of the New York Public Library with an arm full of books, but that's just what happened yesterday Pete just had to be asked about this new move but he wasn shy when telling of it. He had con ceaIed it ever since he quit as boxing instructor to the gobs at the Algiers Naval Training Station near New Orleans, his home port.
 Pete admitted he was studying and gave credit to the American Library Association which is conducting a Books For Everybody" movement for which it is raising $2,000,0O without an intensive campaign. One of the workers in the A. L. A war service at the naval station first in- terested him in the possibilities and
 he took the tip. He shot high and de- cided on civil engineering for a pro-
 fession after he had quit the ring.
 i Cant fight forever" said Pete yes 1 terday," and when I'm through I'm i going to have something to fall back
 on besides the little pile I've go l salted away, and that's why Pm read. ! ing all sorts of books on civil en- 1 gineering.''

probably in the neighborhood of Croagh Patrick in Connaught
 While there he became subject to religious emotions and saw visions which urged him to escape. He fled to Gaul, and after journeying on foot for twenty eight days through the desert he reached the monastery Of Lerins, where he remained for several years, studying classics. Eventually he returned to Britain, where he again had visions which he interpret ed as a call to return as missionary to Ireland.
 Despite the opposition of his pa rents and friends the young man re- turned to Gaul to prepare himself for missionary life. He proceeded to Auxerre, where he was ordained a deacon with two others, Lserninus and Auxilius, who later accompanied him to Ireland.
 Patrick was consecrated to the task of preaching the gospel in Ireland in the year 432 and in that year landed in Wicklow and proceeded north to East Ulster.

Great Britain will be able to send a team to the Olympic Games in Ant werp in August of which that country may be proud, it is declared by the British Olympic Association in pub- lie appeal for the equivalent of ap- proximately $15O,000 to finance the undertaking.
 The king is taking an interest in the preparation for the Games, and has expressed the hope that every eff. fort will be made to insure that the United Kingdom is represented by it's best athletes. Incidentally, he has subscribed one hundred pounds ($500) to the Association funds.

AUTO BECOMING
 DEADLY MACHINE

A canvass of the automobile situa,- ton in the United States just com pleted by the National Safety Coun- cil and a study of the relation be- tween the number of automobile ac- 'cidents and the number of motor Ve- hicles in use hold some startling rev elAtions for those interested in public safety or automobile traffic.
 Briefly, it is apparent that the auto mobile-as much because of the care lessness of pedestrians as of drivers ---iS now the dead1iest machine in America, and, unless quick and de- cisive action is taken, is destined to become even more deadly because of it's rapidly increasing popularity. The Wall Street Journal estimates that there are now 7,600.000 automobiles and motor trucks in the United States An automobile or truck to every third family; one to every IA persons. And tho manufacturers predict that 2,0O0,- 900 automobiles and trucks will be produced and sold during 1920.
 We say the automobile has become the most deadly machine in America because the mortality report of the Census Bureau and statistics being received daily by the National Safety Council indicate that during recent years automobile accidents have re- suited in approximately one-half the number of deaths caused by indus trial accidents of all sorts.
 In Chicago, APO persons were kill ed in automobile accidents during 1919, in Cleveland 136, in St. Louis 97, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, 191 children under 15 years of age were killed by autom obi1es, and in Greater New York SIT persons were killed by automobiles in one year. In Koch ester, N. r.. as many deaths were caused by automobile accidents as by street cars, railroads, and industrial accidents combined.
 Even more alarming than these statistics is the fact that in almost every case comparison, year by year, of the number of automobile deaths and the number of automo- piles in use indicates that the deaths are increasing in almost exact math- ematical ratio with the increase ir number of automobiles.
 In 1910 there were 100000 auto mobiles in the United States and ou of every 100000 population during that year, two and one-third persons were killed by automobiles. In 191f there were 3,00O,O00 automobiles 1T sixth persons out of every 100,00( population were killed by automo piles. This year 9,000,000 automo piles and trucks will be in use. How many thousand persons will be killed

Story Of Saint Patrick
 ShrOuded In Antiquity

New York, March 1S.-The day set aside to do honor to the jolly old saint who drove the snakes from Ire land was celebrated yesterday in the ''wearin' O the green'' by all classes and conditions of men. Many song and story, many a parade and pa geant, many clay pipe and shillalah do honor to St. Patrick on the seven- teenth of March. And though The harp that once through Tara'a
 halls
 The soul of music shed
 has been silent for many a year, mary a green banner with Erin's harp upon it waves and rnaDy a shamrock leaf in his honor withers and dies upon the breasts of good Americans who know but little of the real life of the old saint who dared defy the High King Loigaire, the master of Tara
 The real story of St. Patrick is shrouded in the mists of antiquity, but the legends that have come down to us are most fascinating.
 His British name was Sucat, but he was baptized under the Latin name of Patricius. He was likely born in G1amorgansfire about 389 A. D., was educated as a Christian and imbued with reverence for the Roman Elm pire, under whose rule Britain then was. In 405 Patrick Snear was taken by a band of wild Irish marauders under the Irish King Mall Noigial- 1ach and carried into captivity in Ire land. He spent six years in bondage,
