MIR. Wilson saw the point, and from

something apart from reading detective
stories and watching moving pictures,
which had occupied Mr.. Wilson's mind

THE BEST
MAN LOST
(From the Ely Record)

(From the Ely Record)
As was generally expected, Demp-
sey bested Carpenter in the world
championship battle on July 2. Demp-
sey is much younger and also
heavier man than Carpenter, and be-
sides this handicap Carpenter served
with the French forces throughout
the war, while Dempsey took life easy
The only war service he rendered was
in the shipyards, where he had short
hours and always the best of food
and easy work. Carpenter was in
England when the war broke out, but
Immediately returned to France and
was among the first volunteers to don
the uniform.
Joining the aeronautic corps as a
chauffeur, he became a pilot in the
aviation corps in the spring of 1915
He flew at the front for eighteen
months before being assigned to re-
serve pilot duty behind the lines.
Later he was declared physically un-
fit for flight service because of minor
wounds received in action. BY his
comrades Carpenter is said to have
been a daring fiier. For bravery in
the air he was decorated with the
Croix de Guerre and the Medalle Mill
taire. The latter award is the most
priced that can be given French
soldier. Carpenters bravery in fly
ing low over a German fortress dur
ing one of the major French offensives
resulted in this decoration, according
to the official records, recently in
vestigated.
Dempsey is generally considered as
Stacker, while Carpenter Is hon
ored and respected for his military
service throughout France. Physi-
cally he is not the equal of Dempsey
but in every other respect he is the
better man of the two, and is more
popular in America as loser than
Dempsey ever will be as a victor.
