such that il would be foolish for him
to train too hard. Descamps. his man

not mean that the challenger was nor

fact that most Of the real hard work
was being done in private.
Descamps became enraged last week
when some ringside spectators said
certain things that fell on Carpentier's
ears, and has decided to protect him
in the future.
Georges is happy" he said today.
-and has no fear for the coming fight.
We want 10 keep him in this frame OF
mind but with a lot of scarecrows
around there is no telling what might
happen. Georges wants TO win and be-
