| AT THE START
Carpenter and His
Manager Study
Pictures.
BY FRANCOIS DESCAMPS,
Manager and Trainer of Georges
CARPENTER,

written for the United Press,)
La Guerche. France.-(By Mail.)
Carpenter will let Dempsey take
the lead during the early stages
Of the fight on July 2.
He will try to feel out the champ
ion during the first round, drawing
him to uncover as many of his box
ing tricks as possible. He will
figat a purely defense battle until
he gets a line on Dempsey's style.
Between rounds We will decide
upon our own plan Of attack to
meet the champions game.
We have never seen Dempsey
fight but We have a fair idea Of
his methods from the pictures of
his contests with Jess willard and
Bill Brennan. OF course, we know
that the pictures are not the best
means Of drawing conclusions.
We have heard a lot that the
champion was off form in his bout
with Brennan SO we have taken
most of our suggestions from his
style against Willard.
We figure that he is a rushing.
aggressive fighter and that is Just
what we want. We know that Car
pentier has enough endurance and
skill to hold off the champion for
a few rounds and within that time
We feel sure that Carpenter can
learn what to do to beat him. Then
he VIII go out and do it.
We know that We are going to
have a hard man to beat. Dempsey
didn't train properly for Brennan
and made a bad showing. Perhaps
1t was a little bit of strategy car
rled out to make US think that he
was through. But If that was the
purpose it failed.
Dempsey will train for this fight
we know, and he'll be in better
condition. II he is not he SURELY
Will lose the championship.

Dempsey Isn't the Hardest Hitter;
Bob FitZSimmOns Was Some ClOuter
By NORMAN Z. BROWN.

lack Dempsey packs . mean kick
in his padded mitt-one OF the
meanest kicks We have ever seen
manipulated according to the MAI
ouis Of Queensbury rules. But the
statement of many Of his greatest
admirers that he has the killingest
wallop in the history OF the heavy.
weight division is a bit strong. And
we say this with the memory still!
fresh Of how he knocked several
scores Of the ruD-of-mine heavfes
cold and then annihilated the NAM
moth Jess Willard.
There seems to be no doubt that
Bob Fitzsimmons carried a meanef
kick. Jim Jeffriee had . wallop IN
blacksmith arms that would out
kill Jacks. John L. Sullivan once
knocked down a horse with his good
right paw. And in more recent years
Jess Willard got real angry In the
ring and killed one Bull Young.
Fitz undoubtedly was the king Of
hard hitters. Although he weighed
but ITO pounds he had tremendous
weight behind his punches. Will
lard, Jeffries and Sullivan ranked
about equal as far as hitting power
was concerned. And we aren't re-
flecting on the greatness Of John
l. and Jeffries when we put Will
lard alongside them. For, while Will
lard failed to shine as a champion.
it must be admitted he carried the
bad punch. Had he possessed the
ferosity, the fighting heart needed
in a champion, he might still be
welding that wallop.
When Willard dealt the acciden-
tai death blow to Bull Young, Jess
was green as far as the science Of
hitting was concerned. 1t was brute
strength alone that drove the punch.
When Willard was staggering
around the ring in a dazed condi-
ton in the second round Of his
contest with Dempsey, the big wes-
terner literally showed his fist into
Dempsey's face with such force that
Dempsey was momentarily stunned
and weakened by the blows. There
was no snap behind either punch.
They were dead blows. But they
had the INT In them.
Dempsey has terrific wallop. But
his record alone does not stack up
against those Of his predecessors
who enter the hard-hitter class
Dempsey did not meet the class OF
men Sullivan. Fitz and Jim Jeffries
did while piling up his knockout
record.

u. S. POLO TEAM
SHOWING STYLE
IN REHEARSALS
British Sportsn,en Not
Sure of Holding
Cup.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

New York, May 12.-America's
polo team now getting ready for
the international cup matches IN
England is making most impress
sive showing.
Devereaux MiIburne's four won
the first three practice matches in
a style that has opened the eyes
of the British sportsmen.
While the teams played aren't
of the class that will defend the
cup next month the Americans
have beaten good combinations and
have shown fine form by piling up
big scores.
Press comment from the other
side indicates that the British are
none too sure that the cup will not
be brought back to America.
Captain Milburne and his men
are not Boosting. They are tell
ing interviewers that they have a
fair chance to win.
The same lack of Dragging that
the British have come to accept
as a part of the American make
up has been carried out by the am
ateur golf team.
Some surprise was expressed in
the British papers when Francis
Ouimet and Bobby Jones said they
had just about an even chance to
win the British amateur title.
Concern entertained by the Brit
ish over the golf championships
is expressed in the words of a
prominent English player who said
when it became sure that Chick
Evans and Ouimet would play:
There goes two more champion
ships"
William T. Tilden, winner of the
British national tennis champion
ship last year, sailed today to de-
fend his title in this years tourn-
ament.
After seeing the tall Philadelpn-
ian in action last year and watch
ing his progress through the DAY.
is cup matches, the British are
frank to admit that only great
reversal Of form can prevent him
from repeating.

DAVENPORT IN
L TRACK EVENTS
RumOr Moline Has Plans to Trim
r Rock Island Out OF Probable
First Place.
BY FRIER M,CnLLISTER.

Rumor is that Moline, in hopes
OF trimming the Islanders probable
lead in the dashes Saturday has
agreed to let Davenport ninth-sem-
ester men compete in the quad-city
track and field meet at Browning
Held. From all appearance ii looks
as though the "Swedes' aud the
Iowans were joining forces to de-
feat the locals, who are conceded
the best chance of winning.
With Davenport again in the
meet there should be greater COM
pstition for the locals. Layden de-
! feated Duncan in the indoor meet
but that was before the speedy
little Islander was in the best of
condition. He Is expected to out
shine the Iowan in all three of the
dashes.
With Kerns. Schick. Layden and
! Toll once more within the ranks,
davenport fans are making wild
guesses on how many points they
will make to take the meet. There
Is no doubt that Layden will score
in the dashes but it is doubtful
II he can take first. Schick in the
half-mile will be a hard man for
DOMAIN to beat but 1t is not i'm
possible. The other two men will
run in the half-mile relay and the
lowans will give the locals a hard
run in this event.
This year for the first time med
ais will be given for first places.
Ribbons will be awarded as usual
for second and third. A silver cup
Will also be presented to the school
winning the meet. .

3, With Ross.
ESPECIAL to The Argus.)


q Terre Haute, Ind. May 1.-THE
Islanders stepped out and won an
abbreviated game today with a
solitary hit, thanks to the timely
error of Pitcher Terrell, who threw
wide to first with two down in the
NTH, allowing WITCH and Ross to
score. The game was halted in the
sixth inning when rain which
threatened all afternoon came down
in a torrent, leaving Rock Island
on the top end of TOO count.
The contest was the first OF what
was to have been double-header.
But for this the game could not
have been played at all. The Is
ianders departed on an early tram
for Evansville.
Manager McQuilan introduced a
new southpaw twirler by the name
OF Ross, late of the Sioux City
Western league team. While the
game lasted, it was pretty pitch
ing duel between Ross and Terrell.
Witch, playing rightfield for the
visitors, secured the only hit OIL
Terrell, this coming in the fifth
while Ross was hardly more gen.
erous. He permitted three hits
two OF which went to Cunning and
the other to Wycallis.
Terrell with lots Of smoke turn
ed eight Islanders back at the
plate, being assisted greatly by the
overcast sky. Ross struck oul
four batsmen and gave no bases
on balls as against Ferrells one.
In the fifth inning, WITCH singled
through the infeld. Lenahan lait
down perfect sacrifice. Tat
ground out at first. Ross worked
his opponent for four wide ones
Murphy hit tantilizer to Terrell
The pitcher juggled it bit, became
ratified at sight of Murphy's speed
going to first and chucked it wid'
of the bag. WITCH and Ross circlet
the bases before the throw was re
covered. Burke went out, Lewis t
Duggan.
Rock Island went out in tn
sixth inning before a halt wa
called.
