He is a victor who is more to be

The battle OF the century Is history.
1t was a strange battle. Never be-
fore has there been a sporting event
in which the entire world has been
so intensely interested: never be-
fore. perhaps, has there been 4
sporting event that aroused such
bitter partisanship on an athletic
contest of any sort about which
opinion was so widely divergent.
There were many strange fea-
lures OF the affair. And Of them
all, perhaps the strangest is the
tragic fact that Carpenter is
triumphant in defeat and Dempsey
is cruelty defeated in triumph.
Let no man think that the taste
of that defeat in victory is not bit
ter in Dempsey's mouth. Dempsey
is a peculiarly sensitive fellow.
We have perhaps never had a
champion more desirous of the
good will of his countrymen nor
more kecnIy hurt by its lack So

upon which the worlds eyes were

Carpenter was propped up on his

blank. wan stare faded from his
face. He worked up a smile and
the glaze gradually left his eyes.

across to Dempsey's corner and

- Benny Leonard. lightweight
champion. is confined to his bed in
a Chicago hotel with a stiff neck,
and his bout here with Sailor Freed
man. scheduled for Monday after
noon. has been postponed to July l6.
1t had been known for several
days that Leonard was not in good
condition. but his manager hoped
to get him in shape for the contest.
Dispatches from him today, how
ever. say he is too ill to consider
entering the ring.
There are also hints from Chicago
that Leonard looked upon Freedman
as an easy mark and neglected his
condition. Arriving from the East
he discovered Freedman was in the
pink of condition and ready to put
up regular battle. Leonard
trained one afternoon at a Chicago
gym and was mussed up by a third
rater. According to the Chicago
story, Leonard refused to train the
following day, but put in most of
the time sleeping.
Promoter Fitzsimmons has wired
East for Rocky Kansas, Lew Tend
Ter or Willie Jackson. II he can
get any of these men. some one will
be substituted. but IL he fails to
get some top-notchers. he will put

best material available and open

won 23 and lost 16. The total OF that

The grouping of five pitchers like
Mays, Hoyt. Shawkey, Bush and Jones
on one team is an unusual incident in
base ball. Last season the Yankees
won the pennant. but they had to ac-
count for sixty-fcur of their victories
by three men, and Of these two were
