II Carpenter wins It will be no
great surprise to England and
France.
ny Way Of Illustration.
Here's the European angle by
way of illustration. We were talk
ing with an old-time English fight
fan who saw Sullivan meet Mitchell.
Sullivan" he said. was not
only a terrific hitter, but fast and
clever for a big man in his prime,
as he was then. Mitchell. however,
got away with a draw by being
faster and cIeverer. although not
nearly the fighter that Sullivan was.
And Mitchell was not as fast nor
as clever as Carpenter Is. Nor
could he hit nearly as hard. Most
Americans only remember Sullivan
as he fought Corbett. But Sullivan
then was far past his prime, slow
and unwieldy compared with his
finest hghting days. The most dan
gerous combination in boxing Is
speed and punching power. The
Frenchman has both"
From this atmosphere upon ar
irving back home. We stepped into
fairly widespread belief that II was
merely a question as to whether
CARPENTER could last two or four
rounds. provided the winning sock
didn't arrive in the third. Over here
they know Dempsey better. And
over here they have had very little
chance to see Carpenter actually
tested. Hence the wide d:verg med
in views.
The Worlds Grestest.
Back in 1914 it was something Of
a question as to who might be class,
ed as the greatest polo player IN the
world.
The choice was fairly we'll split
between Devereux Milburn and
Capt. Cheape. of England.
With Cheape dead and Milburn
verging on 40, some new star
was destined to report for action
The top liner. If not today, at east

name is Tommy Hitchcock. q marvel
at 81, with a long career ahead.
Before the first test match was
! played DevereuX Milburn made this
remark. Tommy Hitchcock today
is one OF the greatest polo players
! in the world. With a bit more eN-
perience. l believe he will be tho
greatest polo player in the world
| If not the greatest polo PLAYER OF
all time. He has everything now
but experience.

We must inject right here that,
Mistuh Hathaway declared early In
the afternoon that he was sweet

selling stakes. When this feature

a matter of history. Ralco got home
In front as Mistuh Hathaway pre-
dicted. And the eminent gentleman
of ebony hue informed the word
through the effort of his leather
lungs that he wagered on Ralco.
''Oh you black baby" he shouted.
"Cmon and bring home der bacon
for Elmuh and his tar baby. mon,
you black baby, please.
When he made this impassioned
plea Ralco was tearing along the
stretch, catching VaIOr at every
stride. The moment Ralco stuck
his head in front, Elmuh tried to
holler. His larynx clogged so Raj
CO went over the line unassisted by
thsScalliope notes Of our esteemed
clocker.
This was rather a shock to the
players. who weren't SO smart as
Mistuh Hathaway. That Sam Hill
dreth considered Ralco a good hoss
was plainly evident when he stepped
out and bought him in for $4,000
for the Rancocas stable. Hildreth
evened up the defeat of Ralco when
Thunder Clapp breezed home by a
bundle of lengths in the Africander.
The winner opened at to ). but

Sande turned his mount loose when
he hit the home turn. From there

This also brings US to the last
race and also calls for the reap
pearance of Mistuh Hathaway. In
this event was the well known

Hathaway correct in his conjecture,
twas surely a gladstone day for the
cullud genrmen of culture.
Little Bullman, the promising ap-
prentice, escaped serious injury
when he fell over Jyntee after the
finish of the third race Jyntee was
a hot favorite. but in the rundown

that the little apprentice lad was
unable to help the mare. When she

against a fence and hurtled the
youth out of the sddle.
He landed on his head against the
rail and was badly cut but FORUM

accident was due to the weakened
condition of the diminutive rider.

European Dope Anent the Melee.

European Dope Aneut tnc meiee.
By European in the above head
ing we mean Great Britain and
France. Just what Russia. Scandi-
navia, Turkey, Greece. Bulgaria and
Poland think of the night we do not
know. In the main, they are too
busy with carnivals of their own
to horn into any outside pastures.
But for England and France we
can speak with fair amount of
definite assurance after seven
weeks jaunt through those two do
mains. England gives Dempsey
only a slight edge, alloting Carpen-
tier a stout chance. BY England
we mean the majority opinion Sc
cured through countless opinions
up and down the line. France. of
course, can see only Carpenter.
The average Frenchman knows
nothing about Dempsey's ability.
but even with his vivid Latin imag-
ination he can't visualize any one
good enough to f1atten out the GAL
liant Georges and leave him futter-
ing in the resin.
Carpentier's Chances Liked Abroad.
Carpenters chances, among the
leading boxing authorities abroad,
are extremely well liked.
The reasons for this feeling are
practically as follows:
|. They are great believers in the
iE." that Carpenter is the most
skiilful boxer the game has known
for many years.
>. They know very little about
Dempsey. but have the idea that he
Is merely a rugged slugger who can
be hit often by very fast man
and who will have trouble in hit
ting a scientific fighter.
There you get the gist of 1t.
If you think one man is very good
and you have nothing for the other
man. you are a trifie inclined to IA
vor No. l.
If Dempsey is beaten it will be a
terrific surprise to most Americans
who have delved' many fathoms into
the situation.

]. s. Mandate |
POLICY FIXED.
Administration to Follow Prin-
cipIes as Laid Down in
zap Dispute.
By HARRY l.. ROGERS.
Internati tiomal News Service.

The fundamental principles laid
down by the Harding Administration
In the controversy with the allies
over Yap will be invoked by this
Government in the dispute with
Great Britain over the Mesopo-
tamian oil fields, regardless of the
fact that Mesopotamia was ceded by
Turkey, power with which the
United States was never at war.
INSISTS UPON VOICE.
The attitude of the Administration,
I. was learned today on high author
ry, is that without an Allied victory
over the Central Powers, there could
Lave been no mandates, and II is be-
side the point TO argue that America
has no interest in Mesopotamia mere
ly because she was not technically at
war with Turkey.
Formal notice was served upon the
Allies by this Government many
weeks before the Mesopotsmian man
cate was allocated, IL was stated.
that the United States would coun-
tenance no disposition of former
Turkish territory which might place
american citizens and American cor
rorations in a less favorable position
than those of other countries.
CONTROVERSY FoREsHADOwED
In the same note, 1t was pointed
cut, Secretary Colby foreshadowed
the present controversy over the al
legged concessions of the Turkish
Petroleum Company. British con-
Germ, when he suggested that the
Elan of the Supreme Council to con-
tinue concessions granted to aliens
ard giving the council the right to
revise or cancel concessions was
fraught with grave possibilities and
would seem to require careful eluci-
ostion."
The Administration has not recsded
from its contention that the claims OF
the Turkish Petroleum Company to
the oil regions OF Mesopotamia must
be proved before they can be recog-
nized by this Government Evidence
on file at the state Department is
said to indicate that the only dicu-
mentary proof of this alleged con-
cession Is n letter from the Turkish
government expressing a willingness
to open negotiations.
LAYS CLAIM TO DEPOSITS.
On the strength of rights alleged
to have heen acquired prior to the
world war. the British corporation,
through the British government, is
laying claim to all the known oil de-
posits in a district which Is larger
than the State of Texas.
The company, which Is capitalized
at thrilling sum, has practically no
existence except on paper, and ls
said to have done little or notains
toward developing the property II
claims.
The oil deposits OF Mesopota mia are
so near the surface that seepages are
found In many lakes and streams
and for generations the natives have
collected enough for their needs from
shallow pits. A

LONDON, April 16.-The great coal

Gompers is married again.
Despite elaborate plans to keep the
second matrimonial venture of the

Last fall, several months after the
death OF Mrs. Gompers. they met
