Former NeuUark Second Stacker; Joins iMcCann Squad
Carpenter
 Training On Yankee Lines
BY JAMES J. CORBETT, Former
 Heavyweight Champion.

Copyright by I. N. S.
 Manhasset, N Y, June 20 ing are practically the same as those of American fighters with the one noticeable exception that he prefers to work in private. There is one thing more-he does a greater amount of gymnastic work.
 When Descamps first began to teach me- said Georges in a cOnver- sation ith me the other day, he started with such ~crobatics before I was taugh. to box l learned to- what you call-tumble.' When I was yet but a boy I could walk anywhere on my hs--- Acrobation as much ytning els, aided in my physi- cal development and I believe they are just as essential to me today"
 Carpenters wonderfully developed arms, shoulders and legs prove the truth of this assertion. Had it not been for the sort of training he has had he would not have them today and he used acrobatic stunts scienti- fically in training for every fight.
 Aside from this this training rou- tine is almost identical with that of Champion Dempsey, for instance he works out with little fellows as well of the rivals like Journes and Jean cite out here, and Burke, Williams, Renault and Ghee in Dempsey's camp help Jack and Georges as smaller men COulO not UO IOuSn1nS It.
 They also aid in keeping the cham pion and his challenger from losing the range of their punches. They can give and take, which is absolutely necessary.
 But the little fellows play their part. Italian Joe Cans and Marcel Denys step around mighty brisllly. They uncork lightning like punches and they aid Georges in his footwork. He can afford to let them put every thing they have in to their punches, too, and this is good for his stomach, which he permits them to hammer with a free will.
 Dempsey has Joe Benjamin, Irish Patsy Cline and Babe Herman for the same purpose and in addition to help him determine the range for fighter in a Crouching position.
 With the big fight close now, Car pentier plans to pl in his best licks since coming to Manhasset. His pri- Vate workouts will be full of ginger and he is showing more for the mem- l bers of the press too. Today he was l slated to box for the reporters. To- | night he may go over to Ebbet's l Field, Brooklyn, where Paul Journee | will make his first appearance in an | American ring against Charley | Weinert in a scheduled 15 round bout. |
