of a stiff arm punch, put over with arm crooked understand that he throws his shoulder and his weight into the punch without extending the arm to it's full length and if such Es the case the question arises: How does he manage to deliver this 0low without the loss of speed?
 There are people who refuse to credit anything new in the line of punching; people who believe the old methods that have prevailed for years are the only successful ones I ann not in this class I place Canpentier on a 100 per cent basis as puncher now and in my opinion will not change. Until I have seen him in action, whether it will change in his favor or not remains to be seen.
 Carpenter Has Courage
 With a reputation as a puncher in his favor it must also be remembered that he is courageous. He proved that some years ago when, as a boy of eighteen, he fought such tough middleweights as Frank Klauss and Billy Papke, took everything they had, lost the decisions and refused his battle with Joe Jeannette, one of the best big men of the last 20 years so with whom, Georges stayed 15 rounds. He is evidently no hot house product, this French boy, and from my impressions, gathered through several social meetings with him 1 take it that he is a very cool, collect ed ard confident boxer, the kind who is dangerous as long as he is on his feet with enough strength to put over the winning punch.

 According to the terms of Bart fields contract the Soldier will ar- rive in Bridgeport on the Saturday before the fight and will be open to inspection by local fight fans. That arrangement will give Bartfield three days to put on his final touches for the bout.
 Fans who were at the ringside the other night when Bartfield and 'Jtal- ian Joe'' Cans fought fifteen fast rounds to a draw, declare it was one of the heaviest slugging affairs they ever witnessed. It is possible that Bogash will be pitted against Cans in a battle to be staged at Ebbets' Field, Brooklyn, some time next month.
 Not wishing to permit his bout with Champion Jack Britton. carded for June, to slip by. through his failure all of his time in training for the fray on May 23.

The general public is barred until the bleachers in the Airport Sta dium are completed, but the champion made an exception in the case of a number of women delegates to the convention of the American Booksellers Asso- citation.

 Dempsey assured them that as soon as he began boxing regu- IarIy, which would be within a few days, he would invite them all to witness his work.

 New York, May 12-Georges Car pentier will arrive here Sunday aboard La Savose from Havre. I am very much interested in his coming and I suppose he will start light training at least within a few days after he lands
 Such training as a fighter can do aboard ship is so negligible that no doubt Georges will feel like stepping g some the first time he gets warmed up They tell me the French cham pion has been keeping himself in trim I understand he is in just as good shape today as Jack Dempsey

 Famous Toe Punch.
 I am told that many of Georges best punches are delivered as he goes up onto his toes as though following the blow. If this is true it will be worth while studying. for he has proved that he possesses a knockout punch, yet how he gets the maximum of power into it from such a position is more or less of a puzzle.

Ty Cobb made Babe" Ruth feel like a nickel in Detroit'S to i win over the Tanks. The great Tyrus executed "bluf" play that was a factor in the Bengals' victory.
 It happened in the sixth in- ming. Nary a Tank reached first base until the Babe himself singled over Young in that round. Cobb seemed to loaf in retriev- inc the ball and the Babe, seek ing to take advantage of the Tiger leaders dilatory tactics tried to stretch his hit. "'Ty' was waiting for just such a move, however. and whipped the ball to Bush in time to nail the Sul- tan of Swat at second base
