GUNBOAT SMITH
SAYS GEORGES
WILL NOT WIN
But Joe Jeanette Sees Great
Improvement In Work Of
Frenchrnan Since Bout

MANHASSET, L. l., June 90
In five rounds Of sparring today, two
with the French lightweight Marcel
Deny;. and three with the negro
heavyweight Joe Jeanette, George
Carpenter exhibited the defensive tao
tics he has been developing in private
workouts.
Many of the experts had asked Man
,ager Descamps to let Georges SHOW
something. Carpenter went at such
speed that Denys appeared slow in
comparison. He hurt Denys badly
when his right crashed into the light
weights jaw. He shouted "Oh!" and
caught Denys on his arms to save him
from fall.
Carpenter has been taking lessons
in defense from Jeanette. With jean
cite he went faster than with Denys.
He evaded Joe's punches for one
round, then they fought at close quar-
tiers. Georges took a number of body
punches with a smile and worked an
uppercut we'll He had Jeanette blow
ing at the end.
"He has improved 100 per cent in
all departments Oh the game SluCt our
right in Paris Jeanette said. THE
harder you hit him the broader his
smile"
Several hundred persons watched
the challenger. They included about
so school children from Great Neck
L. l. They occupied ringside seats
alongside a score of wounded veterans
who were brought on stretchers In
ambulances from Polytechnic hospital
in Manhattan.
Gunboat Smith was one of the most
interested spectators. He praised the
challenger for his speed and hitting
ability, but ventured the opinion that
he was not good enough to beat the
champion.
When Georges came. to the gymna
SiUm he espied legless war veteran
sitting on a stool by the ring. He
pushed his way through the crowd and
shook hands with the veteran.
| Hello, buddy he said. "Glad tt
see you iC
The sparring was followed by 1;
minutes of rope jumping and work or

Georges courtesied gracefully. He
donned his robe, waved his hand
called Good night" and slipped tc

with evident delight of an earlier |
battle
Dempsey himself was the promoter, |
ticket taker and principal on that |
boxing program, which grew out of
an argument with another youth at
Montrose, Col They were ABOUT to
settle the difficulty in the usual Amer
lean style, with fists, when Dempsey,
showing a certain business acumen
that has been noticeable in both him
and his manager in later days, sug-
gested that they hold the bout indoors,
and charge admission. A few days
later, they pitched ring in the town
dance hall. Dempsey sold and col
lected the tickets at the door until
it was time to fight. They spit the
$50 gate" and declared it was easy
money"
That bout started Jack Dempsey in
| the profession which was to make him
subsequently, the highest paid athlete

He fought q battles during 1915
and 1916, winning Is by knockouts
