has ever turned out. He must be some
thing of a punisher himself TO have dealt
out the terrific lacings he has handed TO
a number of bulky men. In all fairness
to him. therefore II would be folly for
any man TO attempt to judge him, sight
unseen.
Many boxing critics and Just plain de-
voices favor Dempsey 10 win. There IS
a generous sprinkling Of students of the
game, however, who like Carpenter s
chances best and there are many others
on the fence. Let US consider their
views.
Those who favor Dempsey build their
arguments around these points:
He Is Carpenters physical superior.
His rapid fire, rushing attack should
sweep Carpenter off his feet.
His sledge hammer blows will batter
down the lad from France.
His aGgresSiveness is a greater defense
than Carpenter can boast Of
But walt The Carpenter faction has
its points TO make. too.
He is the wizard boxer Of the CEN
fury, they tell US.
Will enable him to elude Dempseys rush
And while he is stepping around Demp-
sey, tautalizing hill. with uncanny foot
work, he viii be driving home telling
punches wherever he finds an opening.
Here rs a boxer whose punches are
also deadly: boxer who has topnIed
over some OF Ire biggest men of his
time and a boxer who comes TO US uu-
marked, thereby proving that ne is q
master Of defense.
Why has he not grand chance L
win the championship?
Why. indeed?"

vi Scores and Nelus, Gossip of the Ring,
CAN'T FIGURE CURIOUS YANKs

MANHASSET, L. L, May 20.-Georges
Carpenters training camp is enveloped
in a cloud of what one might call
studied restraint.
The French champion, Descamps, his
manager; Wilson, his trainer, and every
one about the Matthews farm have taken
on an air of calm pOliteness that a fidgety
person might call camouhaged suspicion.
So many visitors daily demand en-
trance to the grounds that Carpenter
and his associates are at a loss to rea-
son it out. They are not used to such
things on the other side of the pond.
The Manhasset camp was selected to give
Georges the quietude he has always
sought in training. Instead his camp is
besieged by scores of curious fans and
dozens of newspaper people he has never
heard of before Naturally enough he
will take time to get used to it all.
His schedule for today did not vary
from that which he has followed since
his arrival. He is simply lounging about,
clad in a comfortable bathrobe, wearing
off his sea legs and getting a good rest.
He win not begin work in his gymnasium
before the first of next week, and there
will be no boxing before June 1, ac-
cording to Descamps. His early work
will be done with Journee, Marcot and

Prize Fund.
ALL ENTRANTS READY

Speed fans win be given the oppor-
tunity to see every driver and car en-
tered in the coming 50o-mile grind in ac-

Speedway champions, dirt track cham
pto9s, beach champions, French, Italian,
American and English champions-and
any little champions that happen to be
around-will show what they have to
offer in the great motor frolic."
The idea is this The citizens lap
prize contributions have been a little slow
in coming in this season, and in order to
send the finances up with jump. the
committee in charge has requested the
Speedway management to turn the plant
ever to the drivers for the day, so that
they might cut a few fancy capers Tor
the benefit of the fans, and at the same
time, work for their own benefit. because
when the lap prize fund goes over, then
there viii be one hundred good Amer
lean simoleOns stacked up for the pilot
who comes home first in each of the two
hundred trips around the two-and-one-
half mile course.
The speedway owners quickly gave con-
sent. An admission Of 80 cents including
war tax, will be charged The gross
sum taken in viii be turned into the lap
prize fund, and it is hoped that this
amount, with the 1876 laps already con-
tributed by loyal sportsmen of Indian
apolis, will compete the fund of $4,000
for the 200 laps.
All of the marvellous little 1873 cubic
inch cars entered in the race viii give
the best that is in them. In addition,
Louis Chevrolet will enter the maroon
"whizz bang" known as the 300 cubic
inch Frontenac which Jules EIIingboe
has purchased for his dirt track per-
fOrmances this summer This is the car
that Monday turned laps at 101 miles
per hour. and coasted the turns.
Tommy Milton the worlds speed king,
win give an exhibition run in the sixteen
cylinder Duesenberg with which he broke
all motor car straightaway records at
DagtOna Beach.
Wallie Reid, the movie star, left Cali
fornia Wednesday and will make every
effort to reach here to appear in stunts
with his friend, Roscoe Sarles.

Babe is an example for those who as

luxe in the 1903 world series. He kept
going until 1917, when he was voted

Two years on small time were enough
for the Babe and he came back to the

He is the only active player left OF the

O'Laughlin Memorial

CHICAGO, May 2o.-Directors Of the
American League, in session here now,
have voted a fund for a memorial to the
late silk O'Laughlin, one Of the most
famous of major league umpires. The
site and nature of the memorial are still
under discussion, and the size of the fund
viii depend somewhat on these details, it
wss said Thursday. The Strike Tub
Of O'Laughlin was famous throughout
American League paris for years. 1t

fewer protests from players than any
other major league umpire.

several other sparring partners Des.
camps has in mind. Joe Jeanette prob
ably will not be called upon before the
second week in June when the real fire
works in the way of boxing will be
started in earnest.
Carpenter does not have to worry
about anything but getting himself ac-
climated. improving his wind and legs
and building up his strength. Weight
will not bother him in the least. He will
work for speed and strength alone
His gymnasium is ready and well
equipped whenever he is ready to start
work. The indoor ring is much smaller
than the one in which he will meet Demp-
sey and he explained through Wilson
that he prefers it so because he will feel
that he has lots of room when he gets
inside the ropes with Dempsey. By con-
filming his work to a smaller space he
evidently intends to accustom himself to
stepping about like a cooper around a
barrel and no doubt this will be part OF
his plan against Dempsey.

Warren, Mimi, July 18-I wanted
to ship pig in a crate, the total

Two of my neighbors each shipped
a cow to packers. They received 81

only II cents per hundred weight.

farmers expressed their views on tax

against the enactment of a general
sales tax They voted 6,415 to l.

profits tax.
The public welfare demands that
no new burdens be placed on the
producers of the nations food at
least until his markets and his ability
to reach those markets and sell at
and fair profit are restored.
Following are additional specific
instances of the handicaps under
which farmers in Minnesota and
other northwestern states are endeav-
oring to produce the food required by
the people of the United States.
Warren, Mimi, July 20 wanted
to ship rye from Warren to Holt,
Mimi, a distance of about 40 miles,
the freight rate from Warren to Holt
on rye sacked is twenty-five cents per
hundred; in other words, about four
teen cents per bushel.
There was a farmer living in Penn
bina county, N. OAK, who wanted to
buy a car load of oats. The distance
rate from Warren to Glasston was
about 80 cents per 100. The result
was that it raised the price of oats
so high that the farmer could not
afford to buy the oats. Another in
stance, last spring the writer wanted
to buy a car load of seed wheat at
Langdon, No. OAK, to be shipped to
Warren, MINI. The agents advised
that the freight rates on a car load
of wheat would be thirty cents per
100. The result was that it would
make the wheat cost so much here
that I was unable to see my way
clear to buy the seed. These are
only few of many instances which
might be given, and in my opinion,
we will never have general prosper
ity in this country until the rail
road rates are reduced to a reasonable
basis such as they were in the year
1914. Signed, Pioneer Land and

Savage, Mimi, July 18-Last fall

from South Dakota, quoted at $11

Savage, the freight being more than
the cost of the hay loaded on cars
My order for ten cars of hay was
cancelled on account of the rates.
