tier, the vanquished, celebrated the
Fourth Of July yesterday in sharp con-
trast
Dempsey has two points of similar
ity with Babe" Ruth; he swings the
wickedest "wallop" of any man in his
profession, and he's inordinately fond
OF driving his own automobile. After
lunching yesterday in his suite at the
Hotel Belmont the worlds Champion,
accompanied by Terry Hayes, his
trainer; his brother, Bernard, and sew
eral friends, jumped into his high
powered car and drove up into West
chester County.
NO particular destination was set.
Dempsey and his friends taking a
nomad trip. The champion was recog-
niZed by many other motorists as he 8 at
at the wheel of his car, the scowl that
had been so marked a feature of his
appearance when facing Carpenter in
the ring on Saturday displaced by a
carefFee grin, set off by flashing white
teeth, as he acknowledged the greet
ings OF passers by, or stepped on the
gas4 when he struck piece of open
road.
81 Don't Care" Life for Jack
Jack got back to the city about s
O'Clock in the evening, and announced
that he would do nothing more than
entertain few close friends in his
room, and retire early. After the cham
pion's rather rigorous life in the train
ing camp at Atlantic City he appre-
ciates to the full the meaning of rest,
freedom from schedule and constant
worry about maintaining his physical
condition at just the proper edge.
Yesterday Dempsey gave the impress
sion that nothing more momentous
than the state of health of his a1to-
mobile concerned him. AS long as the
oarburetor had recovered from its
leaky condition and the high tempera-
ture of an ailing spark plug had gone
back to normal, the champions mental
attitude could be summed up in three
words: Il don't care!"
AS for Carpenter, he found the quiet
OF his camp at Manhasset more to
his liking than the attractions of the
city With Francois Deschamps, Gus
Wilson, CAPTAIN Thierry and Lieuten-
ant Pierre Mallet, the latter two his
rbuddies" in the World War, the
French fighter spent the entire day
around his cottage.
Georges Carpenter is a stranger in
strange land; a man who was decsively
defeated only two days before by an
American, from whom he had hoped to
win the worlds heavyweight champion
ship: Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, it might not have been sur
prising had this citizen of France felt
rather hesitant about celebrating our
national holiday
Celebrates in Martial Fashion
But no such feelings seemed to swav
Carpenters thoughts. Soon after
awaking in the morning Georges
marched into the flower garden in front
OF his cottage, accompanied by Des
champs, Wilson, Paul Journee, Charlie
Ledoux and Pierre Mallet. Captain
Thlerry Mallet, unable to walk because
OF his injured legs, grasped the veranda
ralllng and stood at attention during
the quiet ceremonies that followed.
Ihere was no gallery" to watch
these Frenchmen; the morning was
TOO early for that, as Carpenter stood
at the foot Of the flag pole, the French
tr1color and the Stars and Stripes
araped over one arm. At word from
Deschamps, who attached the two flags
TO the halyards, Georges, his injured
right hand hanging at his side, hoisted
the flags with his left to the peak of
the pole, and then all hands stood
lmmovable at "Salute," except little
Deschamps, who set off dozen giant
hrecrackers in honor of the occasion.
AS the flags rippled in the breeze,
Ledoux raised a bugle to his lips and
sounded "Reveille." With the martial
notes Carpenters face was illumined
by the same radiant smile that was so
impressive part of his losing battle
with Dempsey on Saturday.
Later in the day number of guests
visited the French champions camp.
and most of them were loaded down
with fireworks, which were set off in
the evening. Carpenter was appar-
emily in happy frame of mind, laugh
ing and joking with his friends and
camp attaches He assured everybody
that his fractured right hand was
mendlng rapidly.
