The Yanks started their season

for Manager Shaffer TO rebuild his
team. After losing three games in

with the Yankees on the long end.
Catlin. the Yanks' slabman, struck
out fifteen of the opposing batters
and allowed but three hits. while his
teammates collected six from the
Peerless twirler. The heavy hitting

CARPENTER GOES
0RET|REMENT
UNTIL FIGHT DAY
Frenchman Takes Last Workout
In Public, Leaving Experts
Puzzled Over His Showing.
ny JACK vEIOCK.

MANHASSET, l. l.. June y2f,-The
experts have seen the last Of Georges
Carpenter until July when he will
climb into the ring with Jack Demp-
sey, at Jersey City.
The French champion has today
faded into seclusion as far as pub
lie workouts are concerned From
now on he will train STRICTLY In Pri-
vate.
His last workout, against new
string of sparring partners. was but
little different from any of the others.
He boxed with Dave Rose. Kid Rosen-
berg, a former amateur weiterwetght
champion. and Chris Arnold, Buffa-
10 middleweisht, He gave this trio
quite pummeling and wcupd. up
with round Of tugsing and pulling
against Joe Jeanette. ttt
TALENT IN AIR. ss
AS Georges fades from the public
gaze he leaves the talent very much
up in the air. The critics. for in
stance, know little more about him
now than they did when he started
training over a month ago.
Consensus of opinion based on
what Georges has shown at Matthews
farm, throws but little on the scales
in his favor against Jack Dempsey.
His work has brought out the fact
that he possesses wicked right
hand punch; that he is quite nimbie
on his feet and that he is In very
good condition. As for extreme clever
ness or striking defensive ability
Georges has failed to show II.
No doubt Carpenter has defensive
ability that he has kept under cover
His bouts several years ago against
Jeanette, Papke and Klaus, In which
he stood up for a good many rounds
would tend to show he can take
pretty good care OF himself.
FIGURING IS PUZZLE.
But just how to figure him is Q
puzzle to a big majority of critics
who make an honest EFFORT, from
what they have seen, to dig up argu'
ments that would bolster his chance,
of beating the worlds champion.
Carpenter is an admirably bull
chap and he may surprise everybody
by his cieverness July 2, but right
now the talent" isn't expecting toe
much of him for he has certainly
been a disappointment as a subject
for expert criticism.

His Trusty Feet Good
For More Than
One Purpose
By TAD.

NEW YORK, juno 24.-When
a fellow talks about footwork
winning fights we always think
about the big colored guy Joe
Humphreys saw in Philadelphia.
Joe says this guy was twice as
big as the fellow he was boxing.
but instead Of slugging he was
running away for dear life.
After three or four rounds Of
the backward, Arthur Duffy,
kid in the gallery, yelled:
"Hey, SNOWFALL, why don't you
stand up and fight ?"
: The colored boy, without look
ing up, but keeping up the foot
work, piped:
"Feet brought me in here, feet
take care OBJ me-"
And they do say Georges
Carpenter has some great foot
work.

fight or that Carpenter has AN eye.l
chance or better I'm simply pick
ing out points for my readers that
should be considered.
Dempsey is mighty hard hitter.
He practically knocked Jess Willard
out in the frst round Just as he did
Fulton, Morris and others. He can
knock out any man he can hit. but
so could Jenries. Fitzsimmons. Sui
liyan or Peter Jackson.
OTHERS HIT HARD
Dempsey hits no harder than most
of the hard -hitting heavies in ring
history. For instance, i think that
Maher could hit as hard as any man
who ever lived.
III Msher could have had the slow
moving willard in front of him In
a championship battle 1 think he
would have knocked him out as
quickly as did Dempsey. The same
goes for Jeff, Fitz and Sullivan.
Much depends. then. on how Car
pentier gets started. He may fail
to get away to good start. and IL
he does he no doubt will have to
suffer for Il. But he Is a dangerous
man, quicker than Dempsey on his
feet. and the champion had best look

a great right hand. II he gets OF

Curley was perhaps as much disap-
pointed as Morris. He thought he
had q chance to steer the big Okla
homan into title bout until the
night before.

ticntly. don't sauawk. You were

round.
ALWAYS A sQUAWK.
However. Curley was one of few.
who seemed to have been impressed
by Dempsey at the time.
When Dempsey fought Fulton. the
latter was the favorite. Dempsey
won IN a punch, and many cried
'Fakem
When he licked \ willard. some
claimed he had lead In his gloves.
Before he won the title, Dempsey
fought Billy Miske a couple of times.
and the fact that he failed to stop the
St. Paul man was cited as proving
that comparatively small men gave
him trouble.
After he became champion. Dempsey
met Miske. heralded as q rehabili-

test the Frenchman was that same

Crossing" ~
Dempsey met Bill Brennan, the Chi
cago slugger. before he became cham
pion, and stopped Bill in six rounds.
A few months ago Dempsey, now
I.champion, fought Brennan in Madison
Square Garden. and because II took
Jack twelve rounds to stop Bill, the
champion came In for a fine "panning."
JACK DENIED, CREDIT.
Yet no other man has ever knocked
out Brennan In any number of rounds.
1t In true Dempsey was on color
that night. He was drawn too ine.
But he got no credit for doing what
no other tighter has been able to do.
and despite the fact that outside of
one twenty rounder early in his ca
reer, he has no other fight In his re-
cord that went as far as twelve
rounds.
Now In all fairness, 10 It conceiv-
able that a man could reach the
championship OF the world IN tho
most important nstic class without
some merit?

skullduggery?
don't believe II, and I don't be-
lieve any fairminded follower of the
game believes II. Yet every fight In
which Dempsey has engaged of late
years has been hotly criticized. and
the result has invariably been the
same-Dempsey won.
He has had about sfxty-nve nights,
and has won about forty-five OF them
by knock-outs. Isn't It time to give
him just little credit7
