Carpentier Is Ideal Athlete, As Measured By Or. Brady's Analysis
A Unique Training stunt

Rope skipping is popularly reck- oned childs pastime. l have always realized that 1t is good training foi the child's heart, Lut I never before imagined an athlete training for a champ mpionship boxing match would skip the rope for exercise. Carpentie. skipped rope some 500 times while watched. and that included some diff ficult stunts.
 Now l examine him carefully, for all that rOpe-skipping on top of what he has already done this af- ternoon, will surely show on the man't heart. But no. It Is not. This Is tiger I examine. or say n man with tigers eye. tigers feet and apparently, tigers heart, for the heart beat has increased only 50 per cent over the resting rate. A mar velOus1y efficient heart muscle, de- veioped by thoroughly scientific training.
 Doubts Dempsey Victory
 The prolonged and intricate rope skipping exercise proved but pre- liminary to series of beautifully executed setting up and floor exer- cises, resemt ling those used in the army and familiar to some thousands of my readers in the Brady Sym phony. As Carpenter does these ex ercises his breathing is correctly timed so that he inspires with move ments extending or strengthening ou: the body and expires with movements flexing or bending the body He executes every movement with the utmost thoroughness and precision, accomplishing several with ease that he possible for many of us even though we are accustomed to similar exer- cises daily. For instance he will lie on his back, lift both legs free from the floor and swing them far around to the right, always not more than foot from the floor then straight up and across to the cor responding position on the left and around to starting position many times, and reverse Try this once and see what mess you will make of 1t. Or again, he rolls up forward from his prone position but on one foot only. and carries the other foot under him and extends the leg straight in front, then back to the prone again, without once touching the free foot to the floor. This ex- ercise is evidently for boise and bal
 
 ance. There Is nothing whatever the matter with Georges Carpenter s legs.
 The training of the French cham pion and the whole environment of his camp, in my judgment, closely approximate the ideal. and as for the physical condition of the man him. self, saving those shock absorbers for further discussion, doubt whether he can he beaten.

By DR. WILLIAM BRADY

Out back of the old barn of fine old farmstead on the edge of the village of Manhasset, Long Island, there is a queer kind of cage having a wooden floor about 24-feet square, elevated some four feet above the two ropes. Upon the floor of the cage there is a padding of loose felt over which is tightly stretched a canvas carpet. Here on a sunny aft ernoon few authorized writers and maybe a boxer or two gather about o'clock to see the tiger perform Through the open back door of the old barn one can see numerous styles of punching bags, sand bags and other paraphernalia of we'll equipped gymnasium, some of the equipment, for all it's careful selec- tion and care, showing evidence of having been sadly mauled by some powerful animal
 Carpenter Ideal Athlete
 The European champion, with his trainer and manager in attendance, and the cook close at his heels-for Nit NCNh HtNiCo lOT iilS CllIIlts Dy serving also as one of Georges spar ring partners-now slips out of the kitchen door and approaches the barn gymnasium. Tnere is thrill in store for one seeing him for the first time, for with his body wrapped in bathrobe and a towel about his neck, sie looks very ordinary and even little pale, as compared with the flushed or florid compIexons of the onlookers, who eat too much and take too little exercise. But when Carpenter drops his robe and stands forth in gymnasium attire, then you get the thrill; that is, if you know something about the ideal physique To gaze upon such an athlete is good for eyes made sore by staring at physical culture freaks.
 There follows about 30 minutes of bag punching and sandbag wallopng in the course of which some startling effects in the way of speed and ac- curate aim stand out, though there Is nothing spectacular or fancy about the exercise, nothing resembling the musical bag punching stunts of pub lie performers. After such exertion an ordinary man would be breathing hard and his heart would be thump- ins dlonB dt rapid rate. Not so with Carpenter. On finishing this strenuous work his breathing was but little increased; one could scarce ly notice any effect of the exertion on his conversation at the moment. His heart action was but few beats faster than before the exercise, and returned to normal rate in little more than a minute.
 A Marvellous Heart
 The tiger has a wonderfully eff cient heart, a large heart of course, and or all his muscles that great heart muscle of his Is the one most likely to win for him the champion ship of the world
 Next he entered the roped-in cage out back of the gymnasium and spared few rounds each with three lusty sparring partners, plant ing some emphatic jabs on the ribs

BASEBALL AT ANNIST0N

Anniston, June 22.-(Special.)--Th second game between the Rotary and Kiwanis baseball clubs of this city will be played on the city field Thursday afternoon, and great en- thusiasm is being shown among the members of the two teams.
 Albert Coleman, the hefty back stop for the Kiwanis club team. has been elected captain, Arthur Haiti wanger has been selected as man. ager and Fred Bell named as the coach, these changes being made at recent reorganization of the Xii wanis tossers.
 The Rotary club players chal- lenged the Kiwanians for two-out- : of-three series several weeks ago, and think there will be no necessity for the staging of the third game because of the certainty that they will take the second game Thursday. The first game resulted in a victory for the Rotarians by a 27 to 1s score.

of the cook especially. who perhaps had permitted the coffee to boil that morning. There is many a cook for whom I should like to prescribe such treatment.
 Critics who probably have not seen Carpenter in action profess to be- lieve that his legs are too heavy or too muscular They are muscular legs, all right. 1 have never seen better legs on an athlete. But as he uses them they are as light and wieldly as the legs of a cat He is a tiger with big, powerful legs. In the heat of battle his eyes glare menac- ingly and the bewildering nimbleness with which he jumps around the roped cage must be mighty discour- aging to any adversary bent on tam ing or subduing him. Let no one worry about the weight of the ti- gers feet. We might better confine our anxiety, if any. to the question whether Carpenters cervical shock absorbers-muscles which will be de- scribed later-are as well adapted to protect him from Dempsey's jaw punches or uppercuts as Dempsey's shock absorbers are to protect him from Carpenters telling blows. We VIII looh iHto lidl plouleHi iuI tHeF along.
 Having in mind the long, early morning hike and ramble of six to ten miles and the strenuous half hour at the. bags, with several min utes of vigorous shadow boxing, all of which preceded the sparring with three partners in succession, I ex- pected the European champion would knock off work now and call it a day. Instead he merely posed for a snapshot or two-succumbing to the temptation to stick out his tongue at the photographer just as the picture was snapped-and then without pausing for rest immediately began series of additional exercises calcu- lated to increase muscle responsive ness and co-ordination

Anniston, June -(Special.)- The Anniston Independents beat tn, Mountaineers on the city fled Tues day afternoon in one of the mos spectacular games of the City league season, the score standing at II to at the end of the tenth inning, the Independents winning in that frame or account of two successive errors b, Shortstop Graham. of the Blue Muon tain team.

Meanwhile the Barons fluked a couple of runs off a splendid pitch ing exhibitiem by Frank Noel, and hit George Johnston for three more in the ninth The Baron fielding was again phenomenal.
 SiIya's Great Work
 Silva dashed to the foul line to hold a terrific drive with a fluke hit. Then Noel lifted short fly just in time for Allen to grab it with his gloved hand just before it hit the ground. Croll. thinking the ball ~cculd not be handled, turned to third before the catch, but Allen spoiled the chance for an easy double play by wild throw to second, and Croli scurried back.
 Saved Runs
 The two star plays saved at least two runs and a ticklish situation. Settle waited in the first for the Lookouts and was rewarded. Fiedier was also passed after Shay flied out. Boone forced Shay, Settle taking home when stewart got crossed up on Goochs throw
 The Barons bagged the lead in the second, and were never headed. Bernsen opened the frame with a rousing triple along the right foul line. Taylor went out, but Silva's Texas leaguer back of short scored Bernsen. Wingfield made a try for Bernsen at the plate and Silva took second, when he scored on Aliens Texas leaguer, Hendricks stumbling as he came in for the ball.
 This was all for the Barons, al- though they perched on bases ire quently, up to the ninth.
 After Aliens catch had nipped the fifth inning local rally, the homelings threatened in the seventh. Neider- korn hit a beauty to left. Croll's scorcher bounded off Bernsen's shins for hit. Wingfe1d forced Croll. Graham was sent in to hit for Noel, but for the second time in the series a Baron pitcher refused him the chance to shine, passing him instead. After which Settle was easy.
 Barons still Scoring
 Gooch opened the ninth with long smash to right for three bases and came on home when Shay's throw was wide, Johnson failing to back mp. The collegian famed the next two hitters, but double by Stewart and hits by Emery and Bernsen then scored two more.
