by FRANK G. MENKE

Let's harpoon the fistic records and
see what Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter have accomplished in the
bygone days.
Past performances aren't infallible
barometers for the future and fighters,
like horses, do not always run true to
form. Just the same a comparison OF
the knuckle showing achievements of
rival gladiators usually is helpful in
getting a line on what they're likely
to accomplish when tipped into the
same roped zone.
The book shows that each man
fought Gunboat Smith and Battling
Levinsky. The champion outpointed
Smith in four rounds in 1917 when
he was just starting his meteoric
comeback. A year later he beat Smith
to battered hulk in less than two
rounds.
Wins On Foul.
Carpenter won from Smith on a
foul. The story from ringside Ameri-
cans has it that Smith had the French
man on the verge of knockout in the
third. He hit him and Carpenter
started to crumple. AS he was falling,
Smith unlimbered an accidental punch
which skinned the top of Carpen-
tiers topping head.
The referee called it a foul blow,
disqualified Smith and gave the YER
dict to the idol of, the French sportive
world
Dempsey "monkeyed around" with
Levinsky for two rounds in 1918 and
then, deciding he had given the crowd
a fair run for it's money, knocked him
cuckoo at the outset of the third.
Approximately three years later,
after Levinsky had retired" and was
but shadow of his former self, Car.
pentier took him on and in a disap-
pointing bout. Carpenter knocked him
out in the fourth. The showing of
Carpenter against the veteran Amer.
lean was such that his manager felt
1t necessary to climb into the ring
and explain that Carpenter wasn't
able to do himself justice because he
had been sick just before the fight.
Records Of Fighters.
The records of the warriors show

which are far more explanatory than
prose.
