been serious contender for the worlds

the European heavyweight honorS. The
victory gave Jeffries the right TO the
worlds heavyweight title beyond dis
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 has the holder of European
honors while Jeffries held undisputed
title TO the American championship
Jeffries' honors in turn passed to Jack
Johnson, Jess willard and on July A.
1913, to Jack Dempsey.
Carpenter hy~his two defeats of
Bombardier Wells and his latest victory
over Joe Beckett holds the title of Eu-
ropean champion. Should he face
Dempsey during the next few months
the French pugilist, who began his ring
career as a featherweight, will be the
first foreign heavyweight in several
decades to enter the arena against an
American with anything like a fair
chance of winning the worlds heavy
