that was. l happened to catch Jim

Carpenter is regarded by all who
have seen him as fast as a bullet
and tremendously clever. Jack Demp-
sey is a strong boy. l was a strong
man. too. and considered very dam
gerous for a fellow that had been
out OF the ring as long as Jim had
at that particular time.
But Jim Corbett, they say. had me
