DIPLOMAT

ORIENTAL
TREAT
So Says Hiram Johnson,
Declaring Agreement De-
stroys Anti-AIien Law
by RALPH IL TURNER


WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. - The
agreement between Ambassador Nor
ris and Ambassador Shidehara. Of
Japan. created a situation that Is in
tolerable." and that win be resisted
In every legitimate way By the peo-
pie Of California. Senator Hiram
Johnson. OF California. declared To-
day.
While johnson was attacking the
proposal. Secretary OF State Colby was
eonferring with President Wilson at
the White House for the first time
since the secretary left for South
America. about six weeks ago. II
was expected that the Morris -ShIde-
hara agreement would be discussed
during the conference.
SAYS TT DESTROYS
ALIEN LAND LAW
Johnson declared that the agrp8-
rnent abrogases and destroys tho
alien land law of California and eiveo
Japan just what II wants in the con-
froversy over Japanese rights in that
state.
The agreement he referred 10 h
now In the hands OF Secretary 0f
State Colby. having been submitted
TO him by Morris, following the clos
ing negotiations between him and
Shidehara here this week.
Prom authoritative sources" said
johnson. ''it Is stated that the agree
nent between Ambassadors Shide-
hara and Morris embraces: nl An
exchange OF diplomatic notes dcffn-
ing passport regulations. etc, which
would tighten up the present gem
uemen's agreement relating to exclu-
sion Of Japanese from this country.

OF nationals OF each country, and
which will, in effect. abrcgate ana

stripped OF diplomatic camoo-
fagc. this means that our reprcsen-
tative and Japan's have agreed upon
the repeal OF the land laws passed by
the state of California. and prohibit
the passage OF those contemplated BY
many other Western states.
SAYS AGREEMENT
WON'T EXCLUDE
Japan has never insisted upon the
control OF her own people. and there

CALIFORNIA WILL

Upon the mcager facts now b.
fore US. the situation appears to be
this: Japan does not like an Amcrf-

law. Resort Is had. not to American
courts, but to American diplomats.
The protest is deemed of sufficient
gravity for American diplomats to
agree to a treaty exactly as desired
by Japan--this by a short cut, with
out participation by those most in
terested.

Bout With the Third Man
Looks Like Real Fight

Descamps blows the whistle for the third
practice bout, and Carpenter. who has not
left the ring, all the while shakes hands
pleasantly with italian Joe Cans, another
understood pugilist with a ferocious look
ing name, square cut jaw and copper hued
skin.
They pound each other furiously and
you hear their heavy breathing. Carpen-
tier fights with his mouth open. He does
not breathe through his nose. You can
see his tongue encircled by glistening and
even teeth.
The French champions defensive work
is great When the two lock and sway.
heads bent over, what would happen, you
wonder, if Carpenter really let go with
that long. sinewy right arm and with
lightninglike speed, which he possesses,
landed blow on little Italian Joe?
Then they separate, both breathing heav-
lily, and go at il again. or course Journee
and Cans and Denis wouldn't for the
world plant Knockout on Carpenter. even
IL they could IL might spoil the fight. A
cut or severe bruise causes no end OF
trouble.
And still they fight. Occasionally Des-
camps smiles and says an encouraging
word in French. He seems like the anxious
little mother OF great big. strong child.
The breathing grows hoarser and the
two combatants lock and thump, break
away and lock again in a grip like death.
They hold each other at the neck. heads

back for ordinary occasions the length does
not show, but in the ring it may blow over
his eyes. Hence the vaseline.
Some one, another trainer, winds the
champions hands in broad linen tape. This
is tied at the wrists and the boxer draws
on his black padded gloves. There is a
cheer as he steps out and vaults lightly
to the canvas floor of the square, which
Wilson has sprinkled with a wet sponge
and has provided with crumbs of resin.
Marcel Denis is the first opponent. Denis
is smaller than Carpenter and he boxes
rapidly The little man tries to hit Car
pentier in the solar pexus, but all the time
the Frenchman pounds his opponents face
until it blazes red.
Descamps calls time and Carpenter
smiles, adjusts his gloves and makes ready
for the second man, Paul Journee, who has
the shoulders of an OK and face that
meet and either triumph over or go down
to defeat to on July 2.
And still Carpenter smiles in that pleas
ant, boyish way. as il ii were all play to
him. Does he ever think of all that is at
stake on the day that he faces Dempsey
in the Jersey City arena? One cannot but
wonder when this 1.-THE Greeklike body
squares off for the bout

of Colossus. His face is bronzed and his
brown eyes are quick and full of fire.
There's so much mystery about this
fellow Carpentier" he pronounced it as
if it were spelled Carpenter-"and they
write such lot of stuff about his good
looks He's a handsome guy. I'm not
nervous. but I'm jealous" he says with
laugh. I've read about his wonderful pro-
file and his remarkable legs, and they tell
me about his training until l don't know
just what to think of him."
Dempsey is really bit anxious. If Car
pentier were an American he'd know what
to expect. But the foreign atmosphere
surrounding the Manhasset camp puzzles
him.
"And that fellow Descamps" ps"-Dempsey
pronounced it American fashion, just as it
is spelled and then asked how to say 1t
in the French way 81 don't want to see
him the day of the fight. He's got hyp-

sight
And I want to tell you there'll be no
French spoken on the big day in Jersey
City, not if can prevent it. All | know
is dis done and that wouldn't get me
very far, would it?'
Dempsey rises early and usually takes a
seven or eight mile walk in the morning.
He says he's trained down enough and can
eat whatever he likes and as much as he
likes. They have three women cooks at the
training quarters. They cook for Demp-
sey and his two brothers, Johnny and
Bernard, who help with the training, and
for the camp workers in the house next
door
The two houses are plain frame build
ings facing the back of one side of the
grand stand of the temporary stadium
Dempsey keeps his two Belgian police
dogs and his wolfhound at the camp. He
plays with them often and sometimes takes
them for a walk down the road leading
away from the beach.
At o'clock the stadium is fairly well
filled with spectators ready for the prac
tice bouts. Dempsey appears in dark tights
and trunks and athletic shirt, and wearing
a guard over his hair and eyes. With the
guard he is much better looking. 1t fills
out his recedng forehead and keeps his
tangled hair from blowing in his eyes.
His right hand is wound with green felt
and his left with white linen. He picks
up the pulleys in one corner of the ring,
which is much larger ring than Carpen
tiers and works quickly for eight or ten
minutes His bronze shoulders begin to
look moist and his muscles seem to loosen

turns he has a shower and breakfast OF
fruit, ham or bacon and eggs and coffee.
There is more exercise and he lunches on
melon, caviar, hors deures, beef and
mutton, four kinds of fresh vegetables
cake and cream.
Boxers have some of the characteristics
of a prima donna. We wait long after 3
o'clock for Carpenter to appear in that
much described bathrobe. Then some warn
ing seems to rouse the lounging groups OF
men and a few women, and they start to-
ward the boxing enclosure which is sur
rounded by a high board fence.
The Real Show Begins
With Carpenter in Action
Now the real show is to begin. You pass
round the gymnasium, which Carpenter
uses on rainy days. 1t has a frieze Of
pictures, mostly of the champion himself
and on the outside walls are posters giving
his measurements
There are 100 or more men spectators
and a sprinkling of women. A few society
representatives arrive by automobile, which
they park in the lane. They take up posi-
tions against the side fence. The men
whisper that they must be society women
because their skirts are much shorter than
the newspaper women wear. They prove
to be Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and some
Of her friends. 1t looks like Palm Beach
tournament when they adjust chiffon harem
wells over their faces leaving narrow,
open strip just across the eyes.
And now Carpenter arrives, wearing the
widely proclaimed bathrobe, which has big
red and blue spangly flowers on a cream
colored ground, bun collar and facing. Car
pentier discards this quickly and steps
forth in his boxing costume, dark blue
trunks and thin gauZe singlet size 40
You can see the mark plainly.
He draws on a pair of soft brown gloves
and makes his bow to the punching bag.
The quiet, nerveless youth becomes whrl-
wind OF energy. He punches and jabs and
pounds. At first he plays with the bag as
a tiger would with one Of its cubs. Des-
camps calls him "teeger," and you begin
to realize that Descamps knows what his
friend can do.
He taps the bag. he coaxes it, he purrs
at it and all the time he smiles You watch
the play OF his muscles, Jumps that swell
here and there and make his pink skin
seem to undulate. After he has played this
cat and mouse or tiger and cub game, he
lands terrific blow on the bag, which sends
IL banging against the roof of the appa-
ratus. His expression changes, he grows
intense but never maddened or ferocious.
He removes the gloves and Descamps
begins the preparations for the practice
bouts. Carpenter is wearing black band
round the bicep of his left arm. The ring
rope burned the skin recently. Descamps
pats the bruise, sprnkles It with talcum,
rubs vaseline over Carpenters ears. his
forehead and his eyelds then greases his
long. blond hair well. This is to protect
his skin and keep his hair from blowing in
his eyes Carpenter wears his hair long
over the forehead. When it is brushed
The New York herald., 1921-06-26
Surprisingly Quick Despite Bulk
And SwayS in Unusual Way

The motions of the worlds champion are
surprising. Heavy as he is, he possesses
a remarkable lightness and quickness. He
hops about the ring as if he had springs in
the soles of his feet He takes short steps
and his body sways from the waist. He
has a queer shoulder movement. not a
swagger. yet side to side swaying that
is rhythmic, like bird fluttering.
He carries his head with the chin low
cred, as IL he were ready to defend him
self against a blow. It is only when he
is not in boxing outfit that you see his
head raised to the usual level He isn't
so serious then and he beams like child
that has just found new toy to play with
or has been given something good to eat.
Dempseys shoulders are superb The
muscles are so we'll developed that they
make his bronze skin ripple as he exer-
cises. 1t takes him from fifteen to twenty
minutes TO timber up sufficiently before
beginning to box.
Irish Patsy Kline is his first opponent
of the afternoon. Kline is little fellow
and Dempsey constantly has to remember
that he must not let go. The boxers ronp
around the big squared arena pummelling
each other with their padded red gloves.
Dempsey has way of putting out his up
per lip as he expels his breath that makes
him look odd. When close to the ring you
can hear the exhalations. IL sounds like
the exhaust of steampipe.
Babe" Herman, featherweight, and
about half Dempseys size. now bantams
round the big champion in playful mood
IL Dempsey were in earnest he could knock
Babe out in jiffy. But he has to remen*-
ber that he is not to let go. IL is hard for
a fighter to have this on his mind all the
time.
In the midst OF the round with Babe.
Dempsey removes his hair net the
leather protector, and he begins to look
like the ferocious pictures taken of him in
true fighting form. His black hair is a
tangled mass over his forehead He shakes
his head to get it out of his eyes and looks
more than ever like hr 70 mastiff
Teddy Hayes calls time and wipes the
champions perspiring face with towel
Dempsey slips under the ropes and disap.
pears into his house, and that is the last
of him for the afternoon.
The spectators applaud his shadow box
ing and his big brotherly way Of handling
the little opponents. then they troop out
and Dempsey is left with his trainers and
his cooks and his camp personnel TO go
through another night, followed by another
day OF training.
And each night passed and each follow
ing day got through with brings him that
much nearer to the great day when he will
pit his strength against that Of Carpenter
And each man is as much in the dark IA
TO which is likely to win on July as the
public is.
Both are trained to the nth degree
Dempsey has deadly punch and Carpen
tier has lightninglike speed and intelli
Cence.
May the best man win.

lowered, and pound each other on the ribs
or the face until the perspiration streams
from Cans
Carpenter grows pinker and pinker, but
he does not drip with perspiration. His
hair looks damp. but that's the veseline.
Descamps blows the whistle and the after
moons bouts are over. The two boxers
shake hands and Cans disappears. Car
pentier slips between the ropes and enters
the gymnasium, where he is stripped of
his white, sleeveless singlet, famed and
rubbed with towels and patted until his,
pink skin becomes even ruddier.
It's great lark for him. Whether he
wins or loses the crown of laurel on July
9 he will have enjoyed every minute of the
training time at Manhasset.
And down the lane troop lot of boys
who have been watching the bouts from
fence rail. They sing the "Marseillaise"
as they go and Carpenter smiles at them
