FRENCHMAN COVERS UP
Hides Skill in Listless Public
Workouts, But Has Vicious
Bouts in Private.

MANHASSET. N. Y. June 23.-
Georges Carpenter is hiding his real
fighting ability behind series OF
listiess public workouts. For some
explain. the asDirant to the world
heavyweight title is entertaining his
audiences with smiles, but working
Viciously in private. Carpenter has
arrived at point in. his training
where he is veritable fash of speed
and an atlas of strength.
During his morning road workouts,
when only his trainer and sparring
partners are in sight. he goes through
a series OF strength developing stunts
that would put circus strong man
TO shame. He does such things as
cutting down trees, lifting heavy
boulders and tossing his sparring &
partners about as though they were
base balls.
The challenger is careful. however.
when strangers are about. The mys-
terry workout with the three uniden-
titled pugiliSts yesterday morning
was a real interesting affair. accord
ing to information emanating from
the camp today. Georges, it was said
was told to work hard, and as a re-
suit his opponents were lambasted un-
mercifulry.
His trainers. it was said. were so
much pleased with his showing that
they may repeat this sort of training
on favorable mornings.
Charles Ledoux. the French ban
tamwelght champion, who arrived at
the camp yesterday. is considered a
valuable addition to Carpenters
corps OF sparring partners. The ban
tam will assist Marcel Denis in de-
veloping the challenger's speed.
Joe Jeannette was on hand for a
sparring session, and it was an
nounced that some new pugilistic
races probably would be seen in the
training ring.
Paul Journee, as a result of in
JurieS received in his bout with
Weinert Monday night, will not be
able to work again with Carpenter
before the Dempsey fight. Italian
Joe Cans, the other sparring partner
who suffered defeat in Brooklyn on
Monday. did not appear yesterday.

CARPENTER GETS INTO
"FAST COMPANY" IN 1911

The battle with Loughrey in 1911
sent Carpenter into "fastscompany"
in boxing. From that time on he was
a participant in main bouts in France
and England. instead of preliminary
contests. He Knocked out Jock Gold
swain and defeated Evernden and
Young Josephs, winning the British
welterweight championship.
Two bouts with leading American
welterweights were fought before the
close of 1911. In one Carpenter was
victorious over Harry Lewis, in
twenty rounds. In the other. the
Dixie Kid. remembered in this coun-
try as one of the most furious two

key. Fred Fulton, Porky Flynn and
Battling Levinsky were among the
victims. The only reverse decision
registered. against him during the
year was a foNr-round bout on the
coast, in which Willy Meehan beat
Dempsey on points.
The second battle with Fireman
Jim Flynn was one of the early bouts
of the trip. It was staged in a west
ern town and Dempsey knocked out
Flynn in the first round. thus aveng-
ing the earlier one-round defeat at
the hands of the veteran.
An anecdote concerning that battle
shows the confidence which kearns
already had acquired in his new
charge. Flynn's manager, believing
that Dempsey again would be an easy
victim. offered to wager kearns an
amount on the result. Kearns was
willing. to wager not only on the re-
, suit but bet that Dempsey would win
in one round.

NEW LOW LEVELS MADE IN sorrows DOWNWARD SWING
Close of Staple List Showed a Net Loss for the Day of Ten to TWenty-Six
 Points
By Associated Press

New York, October 13.--A moderate advance with scattered hedge selling and renewal of liquidation by longs in the cotton market today, under which December sold off from 19.53c to 19.11c, or into new low ground for the movement. That de- livery closed at 19 15c, with the gen eral market closing steady, at net decline of 10 to 26 points. The weakness of the German mark and nervousness over European affairs more generally, probably accounted for some of the selling, but local brokers showed less disposition to connect the decline with any fresh news feature than to regard 1t as a continuation of the liquidation which had been in progress before the holiday
 The market opened steady at de- cline of point on January, but gen orally to 17 points higher and ac- tive months sold to 13 points above Tuesdays closing figures right after the call owing to relatively firm cables, reports of continued good tone in Manchester and bull1sh southern spot advices. There was some trade buying and covering on this advice, but the south was sell CT of near months here, and the mar ket soon turned easier under scat tering liquidation. q factor in which was probably the apprehension or ginning figures heavy enough to cause some modification of crop esti- mates.
 There were slight rallies from time to time during the day, but the low est prices were reached in the late trading, when October sold at 19c and January at IS soc, and the general list was 23 to 33 points net lower. Last prices were within few points of the lowest, but the tone was steadied by covering. Conflicting re- ports that supplemental statement would be issued with the ginning figures due on October 25 were con . fusing feature. but it was denleu that an extra condition report would be issued, and private reports lhdl- eated that the only addition to reg ular ginning returns would be the republication of the September 70 crop estimates.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON ux, Asaocioted Press

New Orleans. october 13.--Prices ,,nro. forced to new low levels for the downward movement which set III early last week in the cotton market todav For A short period in the early trading the tone was very steady and prices were put l4 to It notnts higher than the close of Tues day Offerings gradually increased, the demand was filled up and in the fate trading a distinctly easy tone ruled. with the list 29 to 37 points under the final prices or Tuesday. The close showed net losses for the day of 2s to 32 points. December went as high as 1910 cents pound. as low as 185Sc and closed at 1S.o5c.
 Better cables than due furnished the stimulus for the early gains while the decline appeared to be caused by selling from interests who figured that reported heavy elnhings meant larger yield than recently has been estimated. Some buying Was done in the early hours on the re- port that another condition figure would be given out from Washington but selling resulted later when off cials in Washington denied this ana also to all appearances, refused the request from the south that an esti- mate of the quantity of cotton un- ginned in the belt should accompany the ginning figures.
 The weakness of foreign exchange was a bearing factor in the trading of the early session. Unfavorable weekly crop reports from the gov garments had no great effect.

BEARS IN CONTROL OF WHEAT MARKET IN THE CHICAGO PIT.
Corn and Oats Also Declined, While Some Low Prices Were Touched in Lard
 and Ribs

Chicago, October 13.-Bears took the advantage In the wheat market today owing chiefly to price breaks which took place yesterday northwest when the Chicago exchange was closed, The finish here today, al though steady was to 2A c net low CT, with December s1.l2h 01.12$4 to l.12A, and May $1.17@117K. Corn lost IFS d2.A c and oats 101 hc. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged figures to 37c down.
 Wheat depression due to holiday factors was given additional em- phasis by bearish views expressed regarding a talk in which Secretary Wallace of the agricultural bureau declared himself as being for com petitive United States markets and said legislation was no cure for low prices. A new low price record for German marks acted as a further handicap to bulls. Subsequently, re- ports of good demand for flour at Minneapolis helped more or less to check the weakness of wheat here but was offset a good deal by word of congestion of terminal facilities at Galveston with a railroad embar- 20 in prospect for that port unless European demand for United States wheat improved. No stimulus to prices here resulted from estimates that 100000 to 2.000.000 bushels of Canadian wheat had been bought for Europe during the last Az hours.
 Corn and oats declined with wheat Clear, cool weather was commented on as favorable for drying out the corn crop,
 Lowest prices yet this season were touched for current deliveries of lard and ribs. Weakness of grain and hogs and in foreign exchange ap- peared to be responsible.
