TWO-SWORD MEN OF JAPAN
With Their Disbandng, Comparatively
Few Years Ago, the Secret of
BIademaking Disappeared.

AS late as 1868 there were some
100000 crossword men in Japan, high
ly trained fighters attached to the
mobiles of the land in bands ranging
from two or three, to an entire army.
When the revolution came the work
of the crossword men was done, the
nation was made into solid unit and
the strength of the blade carriers was
needed at pillow and bench.
With this disbanding, an exchange
explains, the trade of the swordmaker
was also lost to the vast number fol
lowing it, and with them, as the years
passed. died the secrets of the war
rior tools. Swords can be obtained in
Japan today whose blades are so keen
they can cut through a veil or sofa
cushion. and also can be driven
through bar of iron, provided the
wielder has the strength. Others have
blades covered with beautiful and
intricate tracery that disappears and
reappears at odd times, and no one
can solve the "why" of it. One mo-
ment the blade is as smooth and I'M
marked as a mirror and the next the
design leaps out before the eye of the
startled beholder and can even be felt
by sensitive fingers. Yet other blades
are colored red. blue silver or gold,
and while seemingly an alloy, a chem
ical analysis shows nothing but steel.
Yet others are coated with a poison
that is unseen, but beyond all other
poisons deadly. In large part 1t con-

200 persons who reach the age of forty
wears, 1875 are married and 70 unmar-

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Farmers sometimes have been hampered by iladvised
action in Washington. Congress and department
heads have seemed out of touch with rural thought
and Deeds Other interests have absorbed too much
of the attention of national officials.
This has happened because the single farmer sell
dom make his voice heard It is time that Congress
gave heed to the great agricultural population.
And when farmers wants expressed through
common spokesman, backed by an increasing
Der of farmers, Washington must listen and act.

MORRIS SET NOW
TO GO HIGHER

Mickey Morris displayed his punch
in the seasons windup Of the Key
stone Field Club smoker last night
at the Pythian Castle when he easily
defeated Tommy Ellis, fiashy Phil
adelphfan. Ellis outboxed the local
lad at times. but this did not seem
to bother Morris who kept boring in.
Morris stung his opponent several
times and at the end of the sixth
had him in bad shape.
Battling Barnes got his bumps in
the windup, his third meeting with
Toughey Dugan. Barnes won the
first go and the second was a draw
but last night Dugan outclassed him
completely. The boy from Philadel-
phia won by a city block.
The preliminaries were the best OF
the season, the Ireland-Murphy bat
tie being of the rock and sock va
riety, with Ireland using a terrific
left with good effect. The curtain
raiser between McGinnis and Mar
tin developed into a slugfest, with
McGinnis landing the most telling
punches. The Morrow-Myson argu'
ment was a fast, clean exhibition
with Myson displaying a little bet
ter brand of boxing than the loca

COrbeH Calls Dempsey
Most Nervous Champ

morose during training grinds They
we're big fellows and couldn't dazzle
their friends by fancy dancing with
sparring partners.
Sullivan was the aggressive nerv-
Gus type. He was a hard worker
and carried a braggadocio manner
ism Of supreme confidence.
''F'itzsimmons and johnson were
nervous types They never showed
training crouch" outwardly.
They covered up by kidding their
friends.
Il was always nervous during the
long training days. But that tension
left me the minute 1 climbed into
the ring for a fight An electric
wave seemed to pass over me and
left me cool and calm.
Dempsey enters the ring for his
fights with a morose look on his face.
This is intensified by the black
beard which he always grows prior
to battle.
Carpenter wears moro Of a
searching, expectant, cat-like ex-
preston on his face when he climbs
between the ropes. The Frenchman
is all business.
"Of course nobody knows what
tactics Carpenter will adopt against
Dempsey.
There is only one way to fight a
wan who hins with Dempsey's steam.
1t is the hit-and-get-away style until
the opening comes where you can
put all you've got into your knock
out punch.
"And Carpenter can hit, too, as
his record shows.
IT'S my opinion that Dempsey
has a tight. on his hands this time. -

JOSH WISE ON THE
FIGHT
BY JACK RAPER-
BY JACK RAPER

A word from Josh Wise: A fighter
can't have both a paunch an a
punch
A Paris cable says a fortune-teller
there has predicted Carpenter will
be defeated. Strange the French
should call her a fortune-teller. She
talks more like a misfortune teller.
Dempsey says he doesn't know
whether it was his right or his left
that he used the first time he
knocked Willard down. Wen wager
Willard doesn't know, either.
All the sport eds who have watch
ed Carpenter work out say he is a
marvel at sidestepping. George
should settle in this country and
run for office.
Both Dempsey and Carpenter go
through a little wrestling stunt
every day or two and somehow or
other each man always throws his
opponent And while they are
throwing their opponents their man.
ayers throw the bull.
Dempsey added only four pounds
to his weight in his layoff. but ii
caused more talk than II Great Bri-
tain had added a hundred million
pounds to her national debt
Nearly every newspaper story from
the training camps talks about the
, speed Of the two men Say, whats
this thing to be--a racer
Millionaires and society folk OF
Long Island have been showerine
Carp with invitations to dine witt
them, but he has declined them all
And quite properly. Georges is IN
the business of advertising himself

Dempsey uses pillows when h'
boxes with his sparring partners
When Jess Willard trained at Tole

The first time we read that Car
pentier was sparring with Red Gold
berg we were dreadfuIly upse- A

Carpenter is training differently
than Dempsey. The champ is wor1n-
ing for strength, endurance and hsh-
ting ability; Georges is centertng his
efforts on increasing his already
amazing speed Dempsey plans a
give-and-take fight; the clanenger's
campaign calls for him to do most

ing. For it's generally admitted IN
the Carpenter camp that should

Both the indoor and outdoor rings

Georges is training in these for
