Manager of Carpentier Quite Optimistic About Fight, However

Manhasset, N. Y.. May 2S.-To be manager of the worlds heavyweight boxing champion has been the am bition of Francois Descamps since he first laid eyes on Georges Carpenter.
 Now that the coveted title is within reach through one more victory he is what he himself calls mos parteek- ular."

 carpenticr today continued real busincSsliko training. He arose with the sun and went to the road for a long grind. then worked for a while in the gymnasium and slept for an hour.
 In the afternoon he was slated for another sparrins session with Cans and AIariot. Paul Journee. the French heavyweight sparring partner. has suffered a slight injury to his left arm and will not be able to work un- til next week.
 Carpentier has temperament of the sort usually attributed to the ingenue of musical comedy.

 But there arc days that Georges wants to be alone.
 One day when he was ready to put in q strenuous hour. a curious crowd gathered before the residence. He slipped through the back door and ar rived at the gymnasium unseen by those without.
 But here he spied three strangers, one a pugilist looking for a job as sparring partner; one a motorcycle policeman who was admitted when he told the gatokeeper he was attached to Georges regiment during the war and the other a woman who claimed to have known him we'll in Paris.
 Refusing to take off his robe, Car penticr inquired their identity. He had never seen any of them before. The motorcycle policeman essayed some doubtful French: then Georges got mad.
 He started in English then lacking vocabulary switched to French.
 They vanished. Georges calmed and his work began.

R. O.. I. G. DRILL
Stamford High School Wins Competi-
 uon-Adjutant General Cole the
 Judge of Military Tactics.

The annual R. O. T. c. competitive drill was held at the State Armory, Meriden, last evening at 7:30 o'clock. Participating in the events were Stamford H. S., Meriden H. s. and New Britain H. s.
 First on the program was the re- view by Adjutant-General Cole and professors of military science and tactics of the three High schools. Gen. Cole then gave a short talk in which he said that while the R. O. T. c. is doing fine work at the present time, he expects that they shall do great deal better in the future.
 Following the speech came the squad drills of Stamford, New Britain and Meriden. After a five-minute in- termission the platoon drills were eN ecuted. While the judges were fgur- ing up their score sheets members of the different high schools sang their school songs which were loudly ap- plauded by everyone.
 Then it was announced that Stamford High school had won the silver loving cup. Each of the de- feated platoons then gave three long cheers for Stamford. To complete the evening the formal presentation of the cup was made to Stamford's lead CT.
 Dancing was enjoyed until 11:30.
 Considering the small amount of time the New Britain unit has had to prepare for the drill they put up a fine showing and were highly compli- mented by the reviewing officers.
 A large crowd of rooters, composed of members of the local unit, accom- panied the contestants.
