Kent's Hill Lays
Claim to Maine
Prep Championship

Kent's Hill, Me-, June 1S-The
Kent's Hill baseball team is the
champion for 1921 Of the prepara-
tory schools of Maine. The team lost
only two games during the season
and by beating Hebron and West
brook two games each and Coburn
Classical, one captured the cham
pionship. Coach Masterman whipped
the boys into fine shape early in the
season.
Capt. Houghton, the wizard south
paw, is considered one Of the best
school pitchers in Maine. He has
pitched alright ball most of the
time and swung the willow for .444,
the best batting average of the team.
For relief workers Dugas, a right
handler from Lisbon Falls, and
Iveney, another port slider, from
Northeast Harbor, pitched fine ball.
Chase, the diminutive catcher
proved one of the best catchers
Kent's Hill ever had.
Fuller was on first and Kenney, a
veteran of last season, held down
second. His brilliant fielding and
hard hitting and his ability to use
his head gained him the captaincy
for the season of 1922.
Nelson, from Lisbon Falls, played
at short and was one of the main
stays of the team. Leahy, who has
hitherto played in the field, was put
on third. Dugas and Iveney played
in the field when not working in the
box, while Dufour of Haverhill High
and Dean Academy and Karkos
played center and right respectively.
The following is the record for the
season.

JACK JOHNSON
WINS TITLE FROM
JIM JEFFRIES

In the loug list of decisive ring
, battles through which the mantle
worn by Sullivan has passed down
the years to the bronzed shoulders of
Jack Dempsey, there is no page to
compare with that recounting the
clash between Jack Johnson and Jim
Jeffries in a sun scorched arena at
Reno on July 4. 1910.
Tex Richard reared great wooden
saucer out on the plains of Nevada
to accommodate the thousands who
gathered from all over the country
to see the tilt. He hung up a purse
of 100000, an unprecedented prize in
those days.
Jeffries had not fought in more
than five years. In the days of his
reign in the ring, none had been his
master and he had retired volunta-
rily with no defeats recorded against
him. He was 35 years old, an age often
reckoned as dotage in the realm of
sport. The attempt'o on his part to re-
store the championship TO the white
race was an effort to which he had
been induced by a constant clamor
from those who despaired of Johnson
ever being beaten by the crop Of white
hopes then seeking matches with him.
1t was great throng that as
sembled for the battle. Fringed a
round the great arena, packed. were
rows of birds nests" built to shelter
the sweet sisterhood from the Reno
divorce colony. To them the fight
was a charming break in the monot-
ony of serving time. Jeffries trained
down to 225 pounds to meet the sleek
opponent three years his junior and
then in magnificent physical trim
There was vigorous fighting at the
start, with Jeffries crouched into Sc
rious mein and his opponent erect,
grinning and talking as usual.
In the fifth round Jeffries sent n
stray left that rocked Johnson and
momentarily wiped away his smile
But the worried look on the black
face passed, big white teeth again
cleaned and through them came the
admonition, Don't rush, Mistah Jeff.
doncha heah what Aim tellin' your"
"Come on. Jeff, its easy" he re-
peated often through the bitter
rounds.
Age and five years of freedom from
the rigors of training told on Jeffries
and the power of his blows grew less
strong as the battle went on. In the
18th round-the last one-Johnson
sent him to the ropes with a savage
uppercut. Against the dropping head
of the weary white man the black
fighter then pounded away with one
uppercut after another.
The challenger had tried and failed
and he fell taking punishment. His
manager hoped into the ring to stop
the slaughter whereupon Richard
held up Johnson's hand in signal of
victory.

THE ARRIVAL OF
JACK DEMPSEY
AND CARPENTER


William Harrison Jack" Dempsey,
born in Manassa, Cal, June "a, 1895,
!, is a novice in ring affairs when COM
pared with the fistic experience of
George Carpenter, his challenger.
Carpenters earliest ring engagements
date back to 1907, when the French
man was but a slip of a boy. Demp-
sey's first official battles were fought
in 1915.
whom Dempsey knocked out in a sim
gle round, is the first official engage
ment credited to the conqueror of
Jess Willard. Dempsey, however,
tells, with evident delight, of an
earlier battle.
Dempsey himself was the promo
ter, ticket-taker and a principal on
that boxing program, which grew
out of an argument with another
youth at Montrose, Cal. They were
about to settle the difficulty in the
usual American style, with fists
when Dempsey, showing a certain
business acumen that has been no.
ticeable in both him and his manager
in later days, suggested that they
hold the bout indoors, and charge adj
mission. A few days later, they
pitched a ring in the town dance hall.
Dempsey sold and collected tickets
at the door until it was time to fight
They split the $50 gate" and de-
clared it was easy money"
That bout started Jack Dempsey in
the profession which was to make
him subsequently the highest paid
athlete any sport has seen.
He fought q battles during 1915
and 1915, winning 18 by knockouts
and five on decisions. He fought
three draws and was defeated once,
by Jack Downey.
How Georges Carpenter. taken
from a Lens brewery, where he
worked as an office boy, won his first
battle by knocking out Francois Des-
camps. his instructor, when Des-
camps attempted to chastise the
youth, is one of the choice legends of
boxing. Descamps' keen perception
on that day, as well as his shrewd-
ness and perseverance, has been a
most important factor in bringing the
French boxer to the prominent posi-
ton he now occupies.
Three four-round contests consti-
tuted Carpenters first year of ring
activity in 1907. Two of these he
won. defeating on points Bourgeois
and Wetinck, French boxers whose
only claim to fame is that they once
met Georges Carpenter There was
more opposition in the third battle
and at the end Of four rounds Car
pentier was the loser to one Bezoir.
another Frenchman who has sunk
into obscurity. Carpenters total
ring earnings for that year are said
to have been $1S4.
The following year was more sue
cessful. Twice in his 18th year the
young Frenchman won by knock
outs, stopping Moinereau, a fellow
countryman and Salmon, an English
man. the first in three rounds. the
latter in 1S. In another bout with
Salmon. Carpenter won on a foul in
IL rounds. He then defeated Lepine
In six rounds and fought two draws.
Descamps had been bringing his
youthful protege along carefully and
already he was showing excellent
form among Frances best bantam
weights.
