would be soft for this Dempsey per-
SON.
We've never had a title holder who
disposed OF opponents like Dempsey
has. Dempsey didn't pick soft ones.
He took everyone there was He
didn't overlook a contender. Look over
the list
EVERY ONE A KNOCKOUT.
They are all knockouts He start
ed with -Motormsn" Miller, who
beat jess willard in four rounds on
the coast. and here is the list:
Motorman Miller, k O.. one round.
Jim Flynn. X. O., one round
PorlSy Flynn X. o. one round.
Battling Levinsky. X o. three
rounds.
Fred Fulton K o. one round
Carl Morris, X. o. one round.
Gunboat Smith. K o. two rounds.
Jess Willard. X. o. three rounds.
Bill Brennan, X. o. six rounds.
Billy Miske, X. o. three rounds
And they were all good until Demp-
sey hit them.
Dempsey Is not going to let the
cut over his eve keep him out of
action for long. He plans to re-
sumo boxing next Sunday and II the
eye is well enough he may start In
Saturday.

the limbs of a Jefrries. tho effect
can well be imagined.
With legs too massive for such a
frafl body the French contender
seems to be built out of proportion.
Broad at the hips, hts heavy thighs
and calves appear anything but
graceful. However, the power OF
endurance Is stamped upon them.
Where Georges acquires his speed
is a problem
WOULD BE UNIQUE.
Not overpowerful in chest or up
per body for a man who hopes to
annex the worlds heavyweight
title, Carpenter is a unique figure
in pugilism. II his calling had not
been of it's present nature, Georges
might have been a remarkable ALL
round athlete
He might have been proficient as a
discus, hammer or javelin thrower. OF
in jumping. pole vaulting or hurdling.
He would be fairly fast In sprints,
but strong In marathon or endurance
tests of speed In short the French
wonder man could no doubt have out
pointed our best aIl-round college
performer.
Dempsey, on the other hand, is
built for one rurpose-fight-as Null
doom said OF him just before the To-
ledo scrap. Nature made of him a
fighter In every sense of the word.4
The champions legs are long and
slender, strong and muscular. grace

the streets and the automobile driv-
ers mustn't be selfish.
If they don't hit anybody on one
block, they may have better luck up
the next street
The rules say that you must hit
pedestrian while he is on the street
and under no circumstances chase
him up onto the sidewalk.
Automobiles must keep their ma
chimes off the sidewalk; bicycle rid
ers and roller skaters will take care
of the pedestrians there.
Always remember and try to hit
a pedestrian from the front; IL you
hit him while his back is turned he
may be carrying something on his
hip and broken glass isn't very good
for the tires.
But strict enforcement of prohibi-
tons laws is making it easier for
automobile drivers every day.
Never strike pedestrian too
hard; you may be knocking him too
far from his home.
II an automobile golf PLAYER
should putt a pedestrian quite dis
lance, always ask him if he has
carfare enough to get home
You can at least do this when
you're getting your golf balls for
nothing.

l am going to be among those pres
ent at Manhasset today. j am eager
to see the Frenchman in action and
| hope he unlimbers some OF his best
punches. but l doubt that he will. AS
matter of fact, Carpenter isn't
showing anything. II is his preroga-
tive to do his real work in private
and so far he has taken absolute ad-
vantage of il.
All the accounts I have read from
Manhasset have contained hints that
Georges bears the esrmarks OF a boxer
who has lot to learn. But wait A
really clever boxer could easily fool
spectators He can show as much OF
little as he cares to. He can appear
slow-footed. conceal his best punches
and make himself appear to be a
sucker for a left or a right hand.
or both for that matter.
l have not yet seen Carpenter in a
real workout, but / ap convinced that
any boxer who was good enough to
stand off Joe Jeanette as far back as
1914 must have something. for in those
days Joe was a fine boxer and a strong
hitter.
DIFFERENT THAN CARPENTER
Dempsey is much different than
Carpenter. Essentially he Is fight
er. and no matter when be gets into
action he boxes as he fights. AT his
Atlantic City camp he has shown
practically every punch that is fav-
orite with him because IL is natural
for him to do Just that And he isn't
trying to conceal anything.
He believes he can defeat Carpenter
and he is going into the ring July
to- accomplish his purpose as quickly
as possible But even Carpenter,
should he study Dempsey in action,
would not have a positive line on how
the champion might be expected to
meet his (Csrpentier's) attack In a real
fight No man can be positive regard
ing what to expect from an opponent.
Every fighter must make his fight as
IL comes to him or as he sees openings
for offense- All the advice in the
world is useless before battle ac-
tuaIly gets under way.

INCREASE CAPACITY
Of BOXING ARENA TO
SEAT 10000 JULY2
Intense Interest in, Dempsey
Carpenter Bout Prompts
Enlargement

The seating capacity of the arena
on Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City
where Jack Dempsey. the champion,
and Georges Carpenter, challenger
will battle for the worlds heavy
weight title on July 2, has been in
creased so as to accommodate about
10000 spectators
The original arena plans were
drawn for capacity OF $4,000, but
the intense interest reflected in the
bout through the medium OF the ticket
sale has prompted Promoter Tex Rick
and to enlarge the arena. This is
being accomplished by increasing the
number OF rows in the different sec
tons OF the octagonal shaped pine
structure and adding materially to
the height of the arena at the furth-
est point from the ring.

mighty John l.. peer of all former
champions, was a hat-foot fighter.
Built on legs almost too slender to
support his huge bulk, the Boston
strong boy was possessed OF ponder
Gus shoulders and deep chest,
John L. was not shifty and depend
ed largely upon his opponent stand
ing close. where he might reach him
with his mighty fists. In most OF his
famous encounters, aside from the
memorable battle with Jim Corbett
when he was licked from exhaustion
brought on by dissipation. the huge
champion was never leg weary.
HE WAS SLENDER
Jim Corbett. the Charles Paddock
of all the heavies, was possessed of a
slender but shapely limb much on the
order of the Creek athlete of old.
Quick as a flash, never a heavy hit
ter, but an antelope in action, his
legs always carried him quickly out
of harms way. Carelessness lost
him the championship to Jefrries after
he was a sure winner on points. He
lost to Fitzimmons on solar piexus
blow.
Jack Johnson was an ebony Her
cules. Constructed on even, graceful
lines, the big smoke was a marvel of
speed. Thin but well modelled limbs
and a big frame, Johnson was crafty
cunning lighting machine. His foot
work. for big man. was marvellous
Willard, standing 8 feet 8 inches
tall, was built in proportion While
big Jess never showed much class in
his championship days, the huge cow
boy could strike a hard blow. he
was not overcast on his legs, due to
his tremendous size, but he could
handle himself well
sharkey, while not a champion,

on the order of the heavyweight
wrestler. His lower limbs were
whipcords of strength.
BANKED ON STRENGTH.
Jim Jeffries' feet IL inches
weighed go pounds. The big boiler
maker was agile for his bulk, but,
like John l., depended wholly upon
his tremendous strength to bring

chest and a massive pair OF limbs

These legs stood him in good 1T cad
and only once In his career did they

clamor forced the she'll of the once
massive frame to meet Johnson for

big Jim's legs refused to obey him,
nature had run it's course.

French contender, Is a freak in con-

Says Automobile Golf Is a Game Where
Chauffeur Puts Pedestrian Into
the Nearest Manhole
BY JOHN p. MEDBURY.

A VERY popular game being
u played in the large cities is
Automobile Golf" The ma
chimes are the putters and the
pedestrians are golf balls.
And the crowded street is the golf
course.
The idea of the game is to see
how many strikes it takes you to
knock the pedestrian into the nearest
manhole.
The city places traffic cops at
every block to see that nobody cheats.
One cop caught a chauffeur in q
line. The chauffeur hollered "Fore!"
and he had only hit three.
The score is decided by subtract
ing the pedestrians telephone num-
Der from your automobile license
and dividing it by your fine.
One automobiles ran over a de-
tective and sued the city. He pune
tured tire on the detectives star.
The automobile clubs throu ghout
the country are trying to pass a law
making cops wear rubber badges
One of the rules of the game is
that while one automobile is knock
ing a pedestrian around the street,
no other automobile must butt in.
There are plentv of pedestrians IN

The most prominent guest at Car
pentiers exclusive matinee was Vim

New York with a party of friends.
The Aston party received hardly more
attention than the forty other guests
who draped themselves over the
lawn as the European champion went
through his stunts.
CARPENTER MUCH AT EASE.
Captain Msllet. Carpenters New

the admission OF Aston and his friends

fancy boxing. Rosenberg went two
rounds. and when he finished was

tier hardly turned a hair.
The Frenchman did no shadow box
ing. but completed his workout by
boxing round with Italian Joe Cans
and then went through his usual ring
ealisthenics. The spectators were very
much impressed with the speed of
Georges, and the ladies present all

New York, oct 3.-Betting on the
result of the world series is expected
to take an active trend today in tn"
Wall street district, and It is esti-
mated that before tonight close to
100000 will have been wagered on
the outcome of the struggle starting

has slightly favored the American
League champions.
Freak bets are certain TO draw forth
much money. The possibility of Babe
Ruth making a home run in the open
Ing game has already attracted one
Spectator. He has offered to bet
$500 TO $1,000 that Ruth will get Il

and is willing to wager that the home

the series.

AWAITING 0PNElMG
OF WORLDS SERIES

New York. oct. 3-Thc nation
again awaits its great sporting thrill
One individual fstic event such rs the
Dempsey.' arpentier fight or the Yale.
Harvard football ramc may stir up
more commotion than worlds base
ball game. but no other sport known
could hold the protracted interest,
which is continued from a week to
ten days, while the supremacy of the
emerald diamond Is being decided
The fact that the coming series will
be an all-Manhattan affair has famed
the local interest TO a fame never
known heretofore on the eve Of New
York worlds series. There is som"-
thing about New York which gives a
sporting event, az anything else, a
magic touch. New York has deve..
oped the best two clubs in the mGjot
leagues. and the entire nation now
awaits the verdict as 10 whether
Giants or Yanks are the greater.
Ever since the Yanks became real
factors in the American League in
1919 there have been arguments be-
tween local fans as to which team is
the stronger. Up to the war New
York was a strong National League
town, but the coming OF Ruth won
thousands of converts for the Yankee
cause 30.
The Yankee following today Is fully
on a par with that OF the Giants. and
though the local Nationals have play
ed to more business than ever before
in the last two years the Yankees
actually outdrew them.
Many believe it Is the fact that
Ruth will play in the series which is
town interest in a strictly New York
baseball feud Outside of cur presi.

has received the publicity that has
| been accorded Ruth He is known in
every hamlet from coast to coast
through the prairies of Canada to the
mining towns Of Alaska, while his
name Is more familiar to the Cuban
school boy than that Of the president

Ruth has been in worlds series be

worlds series glory. Beating Math
