be the nore fTishtful to most of us. The French lad seems to feel the joy of battle, whereas the American seems to hate it. If that be true then the champion of Europe will enter the ring with a great advan- tage, although such remarks as the two made would rather indicate that Jack is fonder of professional boxing tEan Georges is. Decide for yourself whether you place more reliance on verbal or facial expression.
 A great psychologist, James, used to speak of reservoirs of power" possessed by every person but sell dom drawn on for action, yet which will pour forth streams of energy if the demand presents itself. An athlete who as boy had been chased by a savage animal, leaped over wall which he. was never able to clear again until he had attained full maturity and growth, The reservoir of power" may be considered as psy- chologist's way of saying what the physiologist would call kinetic en- ergy stored in the adrenal gland. In the heat of a scrimmage Dempsey's expression is that of one who is drawing on the reservoirs of power, using everything he has, keeping nothing in reserve. Carpenters eX- pression in similar circumstances is that of one who Is confident and keeps something back for emergency use The Frenchman's manager, Des- camps, has a theory that but few men ever get 100 per cent out of themselves, physically or mentally. but he is confident that Georges will come close to the 100 per cent on July 2.
 I found Jack Dempsey great big lean healthy boy, as keen as they make them, lad likable through and through. This much is certain, whether the worlds title goes to France or to America, the winner Is going to be man the world can ad- mire. l speak as a rank amateur so far as knowledge of boxing is con cerned, but on points it seems to me that the man with the super glands must win. Now which will that be- the lion or the tiger?

 By rights Morrison should have been broken into sooner than he was, because Cotton" Knaupp led off the Pelicans' eighth inning with q line drive to deep left center which had home run" written all over it.
 Emery's Great Catch
 There have been several catches here this season, which have been written down as delicatessen. But local fans almost unanimously agreed that when Centerfielder Emery raced back at top speed, jumped high in the air, twisted his gloved hand around backward and fell back to earth with Cotton" Knaupp's liner tight in his grasp, he pulled off as good a catch as 1t would be possible for any out fielder to make. No man could make a harder catch, for the simple reason @ harder chance than Emery had would mean no getting hand on the ball.
 Sheridan followed Cotton" Knaupp by grounding out, and then Vance singled through second, Demoe lined out to left field.
 Morrison couldn't keep the birds off indefinitely. however. He disposed of Larry Gilbert to start the locals ninth but Bert Griffith punched safe hit down the third base line, Ike Boone then nearly took Taylor's hand off with another single, Griffith be- ing held at second. It was then that Roy Leslie stepped into the breach With terrific liner that slapped against the left field fence, Griffith easily cantering home with the only and the winning run.

This is going to be gland battle.
 The French tiger seems to be bet ter trained, a trifle faster in his nerve reaction, certainly more agile than his opponent, The American lion probably has more power in his arms, bears more weight behind that power, and can put more energy or force into a prime effect than Car the greater endurance and will shine in the later rounds-if nothing rude and sudden happens to him in the earlier acts of the drama,
 Carpenter has the cunning of the fox and will undoubtedly make use of all his tricks to baffle the Amer ican champion. Georges has big legs. but, oh, my! he never feels the weight of them. Jack has an old mans legs, scrawny and thin as compared with the bulk of his upper body. Some of the boxing men in his camp purport- ed to consider that fact rather an advantage. They thought Carpen- tiers large legs would handicap him. They probably hadn't seen the French tiger using those legs. They won't think sc when they see him at work. He csu do all kinds of shifty things with those big legs while Jack is thinking about lifting his scrawny cnes off the floor.
 Which Has the Better GInnds
 There are times in a fast bout when q man loses a good chance to win through sheer fatigue. That happened at least once in the Kan sas-Leonard meet ] saw the other night. Kansas had Leonard fairly covering in neutral corner, with desperation and fear plainly shown in his face, but so fast had been the tempo and so furiously had the Buff falo lightweight worked, in his antpi- ton to seize the worlds lightweight title, that his blows softened and lost their punishing power at the psychological moment. Leonard has only that bit of good luck to thank for finishing the exhibition still un- defeated
 Will victory elude either of these heavyweight champions by so narrow margin? If a similar situation should develop in the worlds cham pionship heavyweight match, would the favored man have the physical stamina, the sustained or unexhaust- ed power, the kinetic energy to take
