Naturally there will be more sting IN

No Boxing Session Yesterday
One thing is certain, there was no
boxing at camp yesterday. Journec,
invariably the target for punches j.
the star cham Der sessions. had a com
plete lay-off. Georges even dispensed
with his customary Jog through the
woods, nor did he take turn with the
hoe.
A few actors were guests of Car
pentier and Deschamps at dinner late
in the afternoon and afterwards there
was an entertainment. mainly motion
pictures and singing. The pictures in
cluded production. called The Fight

line on the champions antics
at Carpenters request the parts OF
the picture showing Jack boxing were
reeied off at snail's pace and Georges
is said TO have appeared malstrouslv
interested. A scene showing Demnsev
fighting at close quarters with Bill
Tate was repeated at the challenger,
request.
A subtitle appearing near the close
of the picture reads. May the Best
