Former Heavyweight Champion OF

(Copyrieht, 1921. by I. y. ServiceD
NEW YORK, May 2o.-My attention

have seen Jack Dempsey in action.
When he won the championship st To-
edo. was at the ringside. Naturally
I feel that I know quite bit about
him. But cyclonic though he is-a
man capable Of dealing out and prob
ably Just as capable OF assimi1ating
terrific punishment-there is no ruls
built upon hearsay, physical measure
ments or cold type in the record books
that could lead me to pick him as the
winner without the chance to STUDY
the French champion in action hrst.
Georges Carpenter comes to US with
a reputation as the greatest fighter
Europe has ever turned out. He must
be something Of a punisher himself to
have dealt out the terrific lacings he
has handed to number OF bulky men.
In all fairness to him. therefore. IT
would be folly for any man to attempt
to Judge him sight unseen.
Many boxing critics and Just plain
devotees favor Dempsey to win. There
is q generous sprinkling Of students
Of the game however who like Car
psntier's chances best and there are
many others on the fence. Let US con-
slider their views.
Those who favor Dempsey build
their arguments around these points:
He is Carpenters physical superior.
His rapid fire. rushing attack should
sweep Carpenter or his feet.
His sledge-hammer blows will bat
ter down the lad from France.
His aggressiveness is a greater de-
AcHSS IMAM carpenter can DoaSt OF.
But walt The Carpenter faction
has its points to make, too:
Here Is the wizard boxer Of the con-
fury, they tell us.
Here is lad whose dazzling foot
work VIII enable him to elude Demp-
sey's rush.
And while he Is stepping around
Dempsey. tantaiizing him with IN
canny footwork. he will be driving
home telling punches wherever he
nnds an opening.
Here IS a boxer whose punches are
also deadly; a boxer who had TOPPED
ever some Of the biggest men Of bis
time and boxer who comes to US IN
marked Thereby proving that he is
n master OF defense.
Why has he not a grand chance to
win the championship
Why. indeed2
You. and myself. can only guess as
TO the merits OF these two men while
We study them, We shall review their
deeds in the ring and in due time Will
attempt to weigh their chances.

they cannot eat them down to the

frame can be moved from place to
place in the yard, and In this way
different parts cultivated.
The yard should be stirred or
spaded up frequently, If not in sod, In
order to keep 1t in the best condition
This will not only tend to keep down
any odors which might arise, but also
allow the droppings to be absorbed
into the soil more readily, and there,
fore, keep the yard in better contli-
ton for the hens.
Although 1t is necessary to keep the
hens confined to their yard most OF
the time, 1t Is sometimes possible to
let them out where they may range
upon the lawn for an hour or so In
the evening when some one can be at
hand to watch them or at certain sea
sons Of the year to allow them to run
in the garden plot. This will be en-
Joyed greatly by the hens and will be
very beneficial to them.

Confne the backyard flock; other
wise the hens will stray into neigh
bors' yards and gardens, where they
may cause damage and are almost
sure to cause i'll feeling. The yard
should be inclosed by board or wire
fence. Wire fencing is preferable as
it is cheaper and the hens are less
likely to fly over it, say poultry spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. II cats Prove
troublesome where one is raising
chickens, it may be necessary to cover
the top Of the yard with wire also. A
board should not be used at the top Of
wire fence, as this gives the hens s
visible place to alight and tends TO
teach them to fly over.
A 5-foot fence is high enough for
most conditions, but If the hens show
q tendency to fly over such a fence
the flight feathers Of one wing should
be clipped. Leghorns need 6-foot
fence. The larger the yard which can
be provided the better the hens will
do, as it not only gives them greater
opportunity to exercise, but also
makes it possible to maintain a sod
on the yard. In most cases not enough
land will be available so that q sod can
be maintained.
If the yard is fairly large, 1t can be
divided into two parts and green
crops, such as oats, wheat, rye, or
Dwarf Essex rape allowed to start In
one yard while the hens are confined
to the other. The green crops should
be sown very thick, and the following
quantities will be found satisfactory
for a yard % by 80 feet: Wheat, 2A
pounds; oats, ~ pounds; rye, 81
pounds, rape, ounces. When the
growing stuff reaches height Of 3
to inches the hens can be turned
upon it and the other yard be SINH
larly sown.
Where it IS inadvisable to divide
the yard it is possible to keep a sup
ply of green stuff growing by using a
wooden frame 2 or inches high COW
cred with 1-inch-mesh wire. A frame
made of l by Pinch lumber, 6 feet
long and 3 feet wide, with an addi-
tional piece across the center to sup
port the wire when the hens stand on
It, will be found desirable for small

this frame is spaded up and sown, the
frame placed over it, and the mate
rial allowed to grow. AS soon as the
