At any rate, the Battler went
down. He took the count and every
one who was at the ringside vouches
for the fact that he didn't look like
a man who was out. So he failed
to furnish the opposition that must
be furnished if Georges is to show
his wares, and the fistic fans are
yelling for more action from Mr..
Carpenter.
There are several sturdy lads
aside from Jack Dempsey who could
give Mr.. Carpenter nice evenings
entertainment. There's Gene Tun-
ney, for instance. And there's Billy
Miske, Tommy Gibbons Mike
O'Dowd, who wants to step out of
the middleweight class long enough
to take a crack at the French heavy
weight champion, and Leo P. Flynn's
rough and ready and always willing
Chicago Bill Brennan. True, Demp-
sey knocked Brennan kicking in
seven rounds, but anybody who can
stick around the same arena with
Jack Dempsey that long would be
good trial horse for the aforesaid
Mr.. Carpenter. George Lamson,
Omaha heavy, also wants crack
at the Frenchman.
