some one exclaimed. They'll have to
carry him out in Jersey City, too"
Bystanders laughed.
But that was the only unkind utter
ance heard about the camp during the
afternoon. because Carpenters mat
1nee performance to-day impressed
every one present with the fact that he
is q super-boxer, and that goes, win or
lose on July =.
Carpenters manipulation of his
right hand, his cleverness at close
range fighting and his ability to slam
short left jolts to the body or jaw with
piston-rod precision caused the French
mau TO be regarded by some in a new
light.
''That French Boy Can Hit
Even so venerable gladiator of
the mitts as Sam McVey exclaimed:
"That French boy can hit. It's just
question who gets there first. He's
got had right hand. If Misto Demp-
sey thinks he's goin' to have q cinch
he better get that notion out of his
head right away"
Joe Jeannette, who staged an i'm
promptu reunion with McVey at the
llUESsQGy ana Jack IOiCDcTS, InlOQlS-
weight from Panama and a fast and
clever 154-pounder, gave Carpenter
the best public workout that has
been displayed at the Matthews farm.
The pace set by Georges added en-
phasis to the assertion that he is work
ing much harder than Dempsey and is
going about the preparatory tasks with
a great deal more ''pep'' then the cham

neck, because it was Joe's first ap-
pearance as sparring partner at the
camp and the first time he had donued
gloves in many months Jeannette an

proceeded TO absorb SONS of the
Frenchman's choicest blows.
Joe Crowds the Frenchman
Joe crowded Carpenter every inch
81 the way IN both rounds. The chal-
ishger fought the negro from a crouch
ing position, keeping his body as far
as possible from the assault and re-
oeatediy getting under Jeann atte's
guard and pattering his stomach with
drum-tire of right and left joIts.
Carpenter had no difficulty oct gets5r o

clnches reached the side of Jeauette,s
mead with quick left that didn't seem
exactly to disturb the negro's enuili-
bruln, but the impression was thai
Georges could have landed much hard
er if he had tried.
Carpenter uncorked a left about the
middle OF the second round that shook
Jeanette quite bit The Frenchrnen
nediately grasped his opponents
hand and apologized for landing so
hsrGs but Joe only smiled and re-
marked: "All right; it's all right. Come
on. I'm here for 'e1n. Fhey're good
for YOU =.. e.
Georges repeatedly shot lefts to the
negro's head in one, two. three order,
SO last that it was difficult to keep
an exact count, and invariably thew
followed sortee of body punches. The
Trenchrnan got away from some Of
Jeanette's long. swings with graceful
effort and on these occasions counter

Goldberg Travels Fast
Goldberg was introduced at camp bv
McVey, and the Panama boy likely will
remain as a fixture for the training
period He certainly gave Carpenter
g good two rounds of brisk exercise, and
the Frenchman, with this fast oppo
nent in the ring, changed tactics com
pletely He boxed with Goldberg and
took many swings that were well
packed with force.
Ihe newcomer appeared at first to
reach the body of Georges at will, but

tier permitted the ONSLAUGHT to 90

own, as when he started to return the

non-plussed.

a beautiful punch and many of simi~
