The English View

LONDON, June 24-Enkland has
not quite made up her mind as to
who Is going to be carried out of
the ring July 2, in Jersey City. Even
whom she does and If she decides that
Dempsey Will win, there viii be no
fancy odds.
So far there is little betting. Sport
Ing men lean toward Dempsey,
though they are skeptical that he
really Is as good as he is supposed
to be. A great part of the public
believe that Carpenter will win and
some think loudly that the French
man will KNOCK rs cad off,
Britishers regard stories of Demp-
sey's great ability as American stuff,
but they believe In the Frenchman
because they saw him knock out Joe
Beckett.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, June 24.-Because
Ed (Strangler) Lewis. heavyweight
wrestling champion of the world, refused
to sign articles for a match with Stanis-
laus Zbyszko, present title holder, a wres
thing bout scheduled between them here
for Monday night has been called off in
definitely. The Rochester promoters have
not given up hope of holding the contest
before Zbyszko sails for Poland July S.
Lewis claims he was not given fair
show in the division Of the purse. Zbyszko
was to be guaranteed $4,000 or 40 per
cent of the total gate receipts while
Lewis was to receive 40 per cent Of the
balance.

ATLANTIC CITY, June Palm sizing
up probabilities in the Dempsey -Carpen-
tier fight there is, one point 1t is web to
remember-that Dempsey will not have a
slow moving object to punch
Carpenter is fast and shifty. He's
tricky too, and he has a habit of waltz

coaxing an opponent to lead that may
seem rather foreign to the worlds cham

I'm not trying to take anything away
from. Dempsey. Neither am I trying. to
convince any one that Dempsey Is going
to win the big night or that Carpenter
has an even chance or better. I'm sim
ply picking out points for my readers
to consider.
Dempsey is q mighty hard hitter. he
practically knocked Jess Willard out in
the first round just as he did Fulton,
Norris and others. He can knock out
any men he can hit, but so could Jeffer-
les, Fitzsimmons, Sullivan or Peter Maher.
Dempsey hits no harder than most Of
the hard hitting heavies in ring history:
For instance, 1 think that Maher could
hit as hard as any man who ever lived.
If Maher could have had the slow moving

OLD Love TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had a
Personal Touch.
Much Of the Romance Of the Day Has
Passed, Though Sentiment 10
the Same az Ever.

Three hundred years ago young men
and women wrote their own valen-
tines, which consisted then only Of
love notices, or declarations Of afrec-
ton, written In verse from a very full
heart and on plain paper. Many Of
our great-grandmothers saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines. old and yellow and
decaying. packed away In lavender In
the bottom Of a dusty trunk up in the
attic. Yet when these valentines were
first penned and put in her hand how
grandma's heart did palpltate and the
bushes rise to her cheeks! No mat
ter how hating the sonnet, or ana
gram or triolet, 1t was the music OF
love to her. Heart" dart and art
did rhyme sweetiyl
The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per
sonal touch. though perhaps some Of
them have gained from an artistic
point Of view. Today 1t is only the
school children and few open-hearted
Interested grown-ups who find the Gus
tom Of valentine making and valen-
tine giving the fascination that 1t used
10 be. Why. even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to.
Now the modern young man drops
In a confectioner's or florists shop and
orders candy or flowers sent to Her.
He scorns the valentine sonnet
whereby the girls of today are missing
q heap Of romance.
This was the day when young man
might accuse some young woman he
admired of being a coquette without
insulting her. In those days "co-
Quette" had Just such naughty
meaning as "vamp" has today. Il
meant a heartless trifler.
II she thereupOn sent him a hand
made valentine on which were two
bleeding hearts made as one, 1t was
her answer to his accusation. 1t meant
that cOnquering the hearts Of other
men than he. meant nothing to her;
that only his heart and hers In all
the world counted. that her heart was
bleeding for him just as much as his
was suffering for her.
The comic valentine Is an outgrowth
or burlesque Of the super-sentimental
valentine and has almost died out. In
stead Of pointing out the recipients
projections and charms 1t dwells vivid
