LONDON, May 26 (By The Associ-
ated Press).-Rear Admiral William S,
Sims, who commanded the American
naval forces in the war zone during the
last two years Of the World War, told
Admiral Beatty, commander of the
British Grand Fleet, and a distin-
guished assemblsge Of British and
American naval men and other promi-
nent persons to-day that the British
had been disposed to give the American
navy too much credit for the part it
played in the Allied victory.
In an address at lrEcheon given by
the Pilgrims in his homer Admiral
Sims said:
"rhe British Grand Fleet was the
keystone in the Allied arch, without
which You in this country would to-
day be speaking German with very
strong English accent"
Admiral Sims waved aside personal
tributes from Admiral Beatty and Lord
Desborough, asserting that had the
command of the American naval forces
in Europe been intrusted to one of the
forty or fifty other American officers
eligible in rank the result would Writ
ually have been the same.
Lord Desborough referred to Ad
nliral Sims as having "braved lis enc
mics, if he has any-and he certainly
has none on this side of the Atlantic
by publishing his book"
Admiral Beatty hailed the American
admiral as one of the worlds naval
leaders, whose coming 60 Europe i'll

absence OF friction and the hearty co.
operation which had marked the rela.

IN good company. He was deeply in.
debted to Admiral Sims's support while
IN command of the Grand Fleet, the
BRUSH admiral added, and he pre.

Admirai Sims in responding said that
when America entered the war things
on the European side were in "pretty
desperate state. THE help we gave,

Descamps and Gus Wilson were

this with the emphatic statement,
Il always fight my own fiEhts."
The Frenchman, however, admits
that the board" in his corner after

using the wrong methods against
the champion and that he should
stay away from him.
"I knew IT,, but IL did me no
good" he said. Il found out in the
second round that l could not drop
the champion and 1 realized that If
Dempsey was to be beaten he would
have to beat himself. Some of our
friends told us that Dempsey burnt
himself out in a few rounds, that If

do that after the second round, but

Georges Carpenter has been ac-
cused by the experts of using poor
judgment in his fight with Jack
Dempsey.
Instead OF attempting to outslug
the worlds champion. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that the fleet French
man would use his feet to keep away
from Dempsey.
Carpenter admits that he did
make a mistake. but that he could
not help it,
Il thought I was strong enough
to hold in the clinches. Once in
the first round I did get an upper
cut over in a clnch. but that ended
it," the Frenchman said today.
Georges explained that he had
trained for close lighting with Joe
Jeanette and Paul JOurnee.
They are great big fellows and
/ thought they were about as strong
as the champion" he said. Il had
no trouble in holding their arms in
the clinches. but Dempsey just
knocked my arms down and hit me
at will"
Carpenter further explains that
he did not keep away from Dempsey
because he couldn't.
