Carpenter passed to-day here. and
ChaC was aooGt all he did in the way of
serious work. In the morning he

as many trys at the bat.
But nothing seemed TO worry
Georges, which was taken as q good
sign by Francois Deschamps and Gus
wilson, his manager and trainer, who
lowered about the challenger like q
couple of nurse maids all day. # a
perambulator had been handy Francois
and Gus would probably have insisted
upon wheeling Georges around the
yard.
A Good Trencherrnan
Efforts to find out just what Car
pentier ate for breakfast, lunch and
dinner to-day were not very success
full. Everybody who has seen Georges
in action with the table tools declares
he swings a wicked knife and fork, but
the only authentic information your
over trained correspondent could learn
as he draped himself over the front
yard gate was that Carpenter had
soup for dinner. No family man could
mistake the gurgling sounds that came
from the dining room.
Soon after breakfast Georges. Paul
Journee and Charley LedouX, his spar
ring partners, left the house and start
ed walking briskly through the woods
to the rear of the house. The rain
was coming down heavily and when
the little party returned in about an
hour all we're just as wet as the
Tribune correspondent, but seemed to
mind it less.
Georges was given a brisk rundown
by Wilson and then wrapped in warm
blankets and put away to simmer until
lunch time. It'a tough life, this box
fighting At o'clock this evening
Carpenter was se8t to bed by Des-
champs, but he seemed in the best Of
humor in spite of the reprimand, and
ten minutes later was said TO be sound
asleep.
After the household was snoring
peacefully, Deschamps needed our sig

and, accompanied by Wilson, came
within hailing distance. With genial
Gus acting as interpreter, Francois
gave his views as TO the part Carpen-
tier will play in the fight tomorrow.
The gist of what he said is about
as follows:
There will be no fooling tomorrow.
Georges is in great condition, better
than he has ever been in before, and
we will offer no excuses on that score.
Of course, it would be silly to say
fatty that Georges will win, because
you can't always tell what will happen
in a fight.
"The fight will not be stopped unless
it goes the limit or there is a knock
out. Ny Georges will fight as he never
fought before, because he wants that
championship. He isn't worrying one
bit about tomorrow and when he goes
il the ring he will go right to it."
Every effort has been made to pre-
serve the true Gallo flavor and spirit
Of what Descamps told US in this burst
of confidence, but, of course, it is diff
cult to do when transposed into Long
Island English. However!
Carpenter plans TO leave his camp
here about 1870 o'clock tomorrow
morning after lunch has been served
and then motor to Port Washington,
board a motor yacht and sail TO Jersey
City, where he will land about l:45
o'clock to be met by a detail of motor
cycle policemen and then motor in q
roundabout way to the arena ready TO
enter the ring on time.
