production, beyond question, of
. any boxing match which has ever
come under the lens of a camera.
How near did Carpenter come to
winning the coveted crown and the
acclaim of the world? That second
round proves he had the ultimate
victor in perilous situation.
Georges met Jack coming in with
his famous right and the champ
tottered back. Like the tiger,
Georges was 1T him, pressing his
advantage, but the bigger Demp-

his aggressiveness.
Could Jack have won in the first
round? y careful study of the pic
lures may satisfy any convictions
you have on this question. Jack
lost no time in wading in, but
Georges was strong in that opening
session. He withstood some mighty
blows. Apparently Jack was try
ing to put quick fnisher over
but Georges was wary. His catlike
movements kept him out of imme
diate danger.
In the second round it was evil

upon a different method of attack
He remains in the clear of

Dempsey is far too strong for
Georges to match him in this phase
Of the game. The sudden flash in
Carpenters favor in this round
brings the immense crowd to its
feet. wildly expectant of seeing the
champion go down. Then it set
ties back in the manner of a giant
ocean wave.
Dempsey is relentless in the
third. Every move OF Georges pro-
claims his fast fading powers. In
dOubtedIy he realizes the end is
near. Occasionally he flashes for
ward in a vain attempt to stay the
inevitable, but always the cham
pion is pressing him backward
The fourth and last round is in
tensely dramatic. Carpenter goes
down. The referee tolls off nine

More than 10000 persons were on
their way early today toward the
Yale bowl for the battle of Bull Dog
and Tiger, tho second of the three
annual clashes in the Harvard
Yale-Princeton football triangle.
The few non-partisans among the
visitors to New Haven included
Marshal Foch, who was eager to
witness the sport that engages the
attention of the flower of Amer

emergency as the one they arose 70

No parallel of sthe Battle of the
Century, that great pugiIiSuc
spectacle at Jersey City, July z,
when Georges Carpenter, war hero
and idol OF France, Went down to
defeat at the hands of the super
champion, Jack Dempsey, is to be
found in the athletic history of the
world. 1t stands supreme by rea-
son of the universal interest &C
corded the outcome. In every Sec
ton and remote corner OF the
globe, the flash prOclaiming the vic
tor was eagerly awaited.
Ninety thousand humans swarm
ed into Tex Richards vast open
air arena that sultry afternoon.
They invaded New Jersey from all
parts of the world and paid ST.
100000 for the privilege of seeing
these two modern gladiators con-
test for supremacy and the Undis-
puted championship of mother
earth. A comparatively few min
uteS and it was all over. with Jack
Dempsey. the American, victor, but
in that brief time a thousand thrills
were given the immense assem-
blage. Everyone got his moneys
worth.
Maybe you termed each of those
10000 fight fans a lucky bird.
He may have been at that time,
but with the chance now offered
of seeing the Battle of the Cen
fury" reproduced on the movie
screen, there is no longer any need
of expressing envy. The opportu-
nifty is here. The official Tex Rick
ard films of the battle will be
shown publicly for the first time
in Rock Island tomorrow at the
Spencer Square theatre. Carl Muel-
Ter, manager of the popular show
house, pulled a coup when he
hustled to Chicago at the announce
ment legal restraint had been re-
moved and the pictures could be
shown in Illinois, and secured them
for Rock Island. They were shown
in Chicago for the first time only
four days ago. The Spencer will
hold them indefinitely.
A few specially invited guests of
Mr. Mueller, Ben BedelI and Will
liam Aschmann, the latter two
state right owners for Illinois, saw
a private exhibition of the films
last night. Once more Georges
Carpenter was the mark of Jack
Dempsey's battering blows, and
once more he was hammered help
less within less than u minutes of
actual fighting. Consensus of the
group that saw the exhibition last
night was: HE never had
chance"
The pictures are true to life.
Every move of the fighters is clear
" shown and one readily imag-
ines himself sitting at the ring
side. UnconsciOusly one cringes
and draws hack as Dempsey's cruel,
shOrt-arm jolts meet their marks.
No word description is capable of
conveying 4 true impression of the
vast crowd: the pictures leave
nothing to the imagination. Every
thing from the training stunts

the ancient game, are flashed upon

Any doubt as to the qualifications
or right of the Duluth team. which

Denfield, star tackle with the In

the following special dispatch TO
The Argus this morning:
Duluth, MINI. Nov. 12.-Out-
playing the Marines in every
department of the game. the
Duluth A. c. won the north
west football championship
here yesterday, "A to 0. The
score doesn't tell just how
much the Marines were out
classed. The MINNEAPOLIS
team was able to make its
downs only three times dur
ing the entire game and of
these only once did the Mar
inc backs succeed in piercing
the Duluth forward wall for
10 yards in four downs. A
forward pass and a penalty
helped the Marines make their
other two first downs.
So, there you are, fans. If scores
mean anything, you can figure for
yourself what the Independents
would be up against if the Duluth
club is taken on. Manager FIani-
gan has opened negotiations in
view of Duluth's decisive defeat
Of the Marines. You all know the
Marines are no slOuches, as eyi-
denced by their near-victory over
Rock Island last Sunday. The fact
that Duluth wants to play for ev-

1ence of their confidence in them
selves.
