BRIDE OBSCURES THE GROOM
Louisiana Court Has Soemnly Held
That the Man Does Not Attract
Any Attention.

1t is at last judicially determined
that the groom at wedding is merely
a necessary incident, accessory, or
piece of furniture. The bri4e is the
whole cast. In a divorce action in
Louisiana, in which defendant denied
plaintiff, and his identity with the
bridegroom was in issue, the court
says:
'The only evidence introduced by
the defendant in support of his de-
NAL that it was he who married plain
tiff in Indianapolis on October 8,
1911, was the testimony of the Pro-
bate judge who performed the cere-
mony and that of the proprietor of the
Imperial hotel. The Probate judge
hotel both testified that they had idcn-
tilted the plaintiff as soon as she had
spoken to them when they stepped
off the train in New Orleans; and
from that circumstance counsel for
defendant argue that the Probate
judge and the proprietor of the hotel
would surely have been able to identi-
fly the defendant if he were the in
dividual to whom plaintiff was mar
ried by the judge in presence of the
hotel proprietor We do not think so.
With due respect for his honor, the
Probate judge, and for the proprietor
of the Imperial hotel, it may be that
the bride attracted more attention
than the groom" - From Vests

mainly responsible for the lightest
wagering on a heavyweight bout in
wears. The title can change hands
only on knockout or foul. Odds
which made Dempsey a to favor

from the other side.
Trainers of both boxers in state

are ready. Questioned about the
cut over the eye which Dempsey re-
ceived in training four weeks ago,
Teddy Hayes, the champions chief
handler, declared that it had healed
satisfactorily and that no trouble

as against Willard and apparently
inst as strong. His footwork and
defensive tactics have been speeded
M in the past three weeks by fast
rounds with the featherweights ana
lightweights on his sparring staff
Over-confidence and "staleness" have
been the two main hazards the
champions handlers have sought to
avoid. Dempsey, two days ago. TO
the eye, was anything but stale.
Whether he is over-confident, only
tomorrow's action will tell.
Will Be Short Bout.
Indications point to the fact that
it will be short bout. Carpenter
himself expressed that belief sever
al weeks ago. Dempsey enters the
ring heralded as the hardest hitter
The game has Seen. But in Car
pentier's right hand is reposed a
"kick" which, according to Joe jean
nette and other authorities" who
have felt it's Sforce, is sufficient to
drop the man on whom it lands with
full force.
If the Bout goes past sthe fourth
round, Carpenter is considered ike
ly to last out the bout and not un
likely to gain the unofficial newspa
/, per verdict. Dempsey undoubtedl!
has increased his ring cleverness Il
the past two years but it is impossl

ropes a larger man in nearly every
respect. He is an inch and a half
taller than Carpenter. His reach Is
one inch greater. But Carpenters
neck, usually declared by casual OBJ
servers to be thin, is well-developed
and measures 16A inches, one
quarter inch larger than that OF
Dempsey. In all other respects, ex-
cept in calf measurements, the tape
shows Dempsey the larger. Car
pentier's remarkable lower legs
measure 16A inches as against the
I15A inches of Dempsey.
The ring courage of either man
can scarcely be doubted. Carpen-
tiers has been proved in long ser
les of bouts in which he fought his
wav to success from bantamweight
to the topmost heavyweight ranks
of Europe. The bouts in which this
Young Frenchman met Frank Klaus,
Billy Rapke, Joe Jeanette and
Bombardier Wells, taking as well as
giving much punishment, tell of his
lion heart, as. do the war experiences
through which he went.
Dempsey Quick Finisher.
Dempseys courage in bout OF
any length never has been thorough
" tested, mainly because his great
punching power has made the aver
age length of his bouts two or three
! rounds. In the match with Bren'
nan. there never was any doubt a:
