Success of the Play


The success of the play "Abra-
ham Lincoln" has been nothing
less than phenomenal. 1t was the
most singular success of the Lon
don theatrical season of 191S-1919.
AS Arnold Bennett has so effec-
lively said, "Nobody can dine out
in London today and admit with
out a blush that he has not seen
Abraham Lincoln Monarchs and
princes have seen 1T. Archbishops
have seen it. Statesmen without
number have seen it," King George
and Queen Mary journeyed out
into the 'wilds of Hammersmith, ;"
a suburb Of London, to see the
play. H. G. Wells, the popular
English novelist, went to see it a
second time.
In this country the play has
been equally successful. The writer
had the pleasure Of seeing the play
at the Cort theatre in New York
on the twenty-sixth of last August
when the mercury rose to the
ninties making the Amsterdam
Roof more comfortable than the in
side of any theatre. Yet Lincoln s
countrymen packed the Cort thea
ire and neglected the attractive
musical comedies on the coll Roof
Gardens! Although that is not
"perfect tribute" it is one Of the
sincerest we know. The press has
recently noted the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson visited the theatre for
the first time in eighteen months to
witness the performance in Wash
ington. What comfort he must
have derived from it!
To see the play is a privilege; to
read the play is to want to see it
again. We are indeed fortunate in
being able to have the author of
the play, Mr.. Drinkwater, visit us.

" An English Dramatist s View of
Abraham Lincoln,' - by the cele-
brated John Drinkwater, authof
of the play, abraham Lincoln. -
John Drinkwater was born in
Essex, June. l, 1882. His father
was engaged in the management of
theatrical enterprises. Mr.. Drink
water is a graduate Of the Oxford
High School and the Birmingham
University. After twelve years in
the commercial world he became
manager Of the Birmingham Re
pertory theatre, called by many
the most beautiful in England.
Meanwhile he was writing poetry,
essays, and books of plays. He has
attained an enviable position in the
literary world and is sometimes
termed the "English Walt Whit
man." Of Drinkwater's work a
critic in the North American says ::
" In all Of John Drinkwater's work
| discover high sincerity, love Of
simple beauty and good purpose
and fine character.

Straight Knockout With
Frenchie Looking On.

NEW YORK. May S1.-Georges Car
pentier resumed work at his MaRhasset
training camp today satisfied that Amer
lea has some reserve talent to trot ont
for him in case he defeats Jack Dempsey
July ..
The dapper French champion was at
the ringside in Ebbets field Monday to
get a line on Tommy Gibbons, the st.
Paul sOcker, who ranks as this cOun-
try's foremost challenger for the heavy
weight championship. And he got an
eye full.
Gibbons, who was fast as a big cat
and in perfect condition, made short
work of Jack Clifford of Brooklyn. who
took the count in the third round after
fifty eight seconds had elapsed. Georges
was impressed. After the fight he said 4:
Mons Gibbons looks very good. He is
the best American fighter 1 have seen.
or course, you see, 1 have not seen
Dempsey"
Gibbons victory over Clifford marked
his ninth straight knockout against the
best opponents promoters have been Sble
TO dig up for him. He is climbing the
ladder toward battle for the champion
ship just as Dempsey climbed 1t several
years ago.
Tex Richard is greatly interested In
Gibbons and is prepared to sign him
for the winner Of the Dempsey -Carpentie-
battle He conferred today with Gibbons
and his manager, Eddie Kane, on the
subject.

.CORBETT TELLS
OF BOUTS LOST
BY FRENCHMAN
Jim Says Carpenter Showed
Great Gameness in Klaus
and Papke Battles.
ODDS AGAINST
HIM
By JAMES ]. CORBETT.

Former Heavy weight Champion.
CLEVELAND, May 31.-Everywhere /
go friends and acquaintance ask for an
opinion regarding Georges Carpenters
chances against Dempsey.
Carpenter is a wonderful boxer, Ell,
JIM" they say. But can he take it.
Can he stand up to Dempsey"
Without having had q real opportunity
as yet to watch Carpenter work against
some big fellow, the best reply I can
make to these inquiries Is to refer my
friends to Georges past performances.
To my mind the showings he has made
against Frank Klaus, Billy Papke and
Joe Jeanette, not to mention Gunboat
Smith, furnish pretty fair proof that he
can stand the gaff up to liberal limit In,
the days when he fought Klaus, Papke
and Jeanette he was more or less a
STRIPPING. He had not yet gotten his full
growth and strength, yet he took severe
beatings from both Papke and Klaus and
refused to be discouraged.
FRENCHIE PROVES
HIS GAMENESS.
Klaus gave Carpenter the worst beat
ing Of his career and I want to say right
here that Klaus was one tough man in
his day. Had Carpenter been other than;
a lion-hearted youth, he must have quit
cold then and there, but he is with US
today and 1t means something.
The Carpenter bout at Dieppe
was a scheduled tWenty-rounder in 1912.
At that time Carpenter started to grow
very fast and he had to make weight for
Klaus. When he entered the ring he was
none too strong and he soon discovered
that Klaus was indeed a "bearcat'' Of q

CARPENTER HAS PROPER BUILD
TO STAND GRUELLING STRUGGLE

. out ahead Abe Attell, a featherweight
fought Gghtweights and welters and as
very successful. He knew how to box
and he knew how to make the other fell
low waste his energy.
Joe Walcott, welterweight, who
wasn't mush taller than a water by
drant, often fought men weighing 200
pounds and standing well over six feet.
Joe was a fighter. He could hit and he
could make the other fellow miss. What
he lacked in poundage he made up in
skill.
Neither Tom sharkey nor Jim Corbett
would have anything to do with Joe vi en-
he was going great guns.
WELLS EASY
FOR FRENCHIE.
Carpenter, French marvel, has beaten
many a big fellow in the ring. Bonn
barber Wells is the biggest man he
toppled. Wells lowered over Georges
and outweighed him quite a chunk, yet
the Frenchman dropped him for the fatal
count twice.
Dempsey will outweigh Carpenter ten
or fifteen pounds and win stand maybe
advantage, but it's some. Carpenter
doesn't think that DeT:psey's extra
weight will bother him bit. He is used
to fighting big men.
Dempsey, on the other hand, is not ac-
customed to fighting men smaller than
himself. There's the rub, Il there's a rub
coming. Dempsey's best fight was made
against his biggest opponent-Willard.
it was his easiest too. The first punch
he landed practically settled the fghk
He had everything his own way after
that. He was punching upward, the way
a man punches a bag.
Old timers say man can hit harder
punching at a target above his shoulders.
Dempsey has done that In most of his
fights. It's not easy to punch down
that iS if il ahOFfaF 81 no
fights IN a crouching position. Try it!

BY TAD.
SnecfaI Correspondent of The Times.


NEW YORK, May 3L-The thing that
seems to bother boxing fans most in the
coming championship battle is whether
the Frenchman is big enough for Demp-
sey.
Billy Delaney. who brought both Cor
bett and Jeffries from obscurity to the
top, always claimed that man weighing
$50 pounds was big enough to lick the
huskiest slugger alive.
''Jem Mace, the greatest fighter that
England ever produced, never fought ;f
weighing more than 100 pounds" Billy
used to say, Give me a good young fell
low weighing $50 pounds who knows his
business and I'll bet on him against any
$50 FOUNDER you can GET
When you look back and think Of the
maryels Of the ring, who beat men much
bigger than themselves, you must admit
that its Skill not bulk, that counts in
the prize ring.
WHEN JEFF KNEW
HE WAS HIT.
Joe Choynski, weighing 100 pounds,
gave Jim JeFries the hardest battle he
ever fought, and JEFF weighed 200. 1t
was Choynski who hit Jeff the hardest
punch he ever got in his whole career.
Joe hit Jeff in the mouth and drove his
upper lip in between his teeth. Billy
Delaney had to cut the lip away with a
pocket knife.
Tom Sharkey, weighing $50 pounds
and standing half a foot under Jef,
stayed the limit with the big bOilermaker
twice and had very little the worst of 1T.
He fought JEFF a twenty round fight N
Frisco and then came TO New York, and
in twenty five rounder lost decision
that half the crowd thought was wrong.
Jeff's bulk was of little use to him On
those two occasions. He just barely nosed
