HAPPY AND GAY
During the Day There Was a
Song on His Lips and a
Smile on His Face.
tny rhe AssOcIated Pressl

MANHASSET, N. Y, July 1.-Whis-
Ting an American war song, Georges
Carpenter tripped up the stairs of his
training camp residence at nine O'Clock
tonight, called a CHEEKY good night to his
comrades and jumped into bed.
Throughout the day the challenger was
lighthearted. There was always a song
on his lips and smile on his face. Late
i nthe afternoon he left his chair on the
front porch to play ball with a crowd OF
boys in the roadway. He seemed OBJ
livious of the fact that his chance at
the lond-desired worlds heavyweight
championship was less than "a hours
away.
There was apparently no worry in the
challenger's head over the trial of the
morrow as he tossed the ball around and
whooped as loud as any of his youthful
admirers.
With the careless abandon of a hoy
he darted hither and thither and INDUCED
in lively repartee with his playmates.
Fight talk, insofar as Georges was con-
cerned, was under the ban. Stories of
the war were told BY different members
OF the camp and Trainer Wilson, who has
shown some talent as a buck and wing
dancer, entertained with a phonograph
accompaniment.
A heavy rain greeted the challenger as
he answered reveille this morning, but
he braved it and started for the woods
with Paul Journee and Charles Lodoux.
They were out about three quarters Of
an hour and returned soaked 70 the skin.
Georges was given a good rub down and
was swathed in blankets. He stayed in
doors until after lunch, then went to the
porch and his camp chair.
Carpenter has made friends with sew
eral boys in the vicinity and they were
the leaders of the party who played base
ball with him. One of chem whom Car
pentier named Marshal FoCn" because
of his strategy in getting into the camp
on private workout days, said to him
this afternoon:
Georges, think you're about the
incest fellow ever met, but Dempsey's
going to beat you tomorrow"
Georges patted the youngster on the
shoulder:
I'm glad to hear you talk like that
he returned. You're what call a real
good American"
Manager Descamps was IN high good
humor. He went down to the Manhasset
barber shop and in the best English he
could muster, told the tonsorIal artist to
fix him just like he had fixed Georges
Monday. The barber went to work and
turned out a neat job Descamps went
