Carpenter to Quit
Work Memorial I)av
To Watch Gibbons
Georges Anxious to See
Tom in Action; New
Club Defers Opening

Two attractions of wide importance
in ring circles are booked for the after
noon of Memorial Day, and st least
two of the bouts have an important
bearing on the future.
The big fstic carnival to be staged
Monday afternoon at Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn, will share the spotlight with
the fifteen-round set-to between Rocky
Kansas and Gene belmont The Kan
sas-Delmont fight will be put on by
the Walker Sporting Club in Ridge
wood.
Georges Carpenter and his manager,
Francois Deschamps, announced yester-
day that they would be present at Eb-
bets Field, where Tommy Gibbons will
meet Jack Clifford in the feature event
of fifteen rounds. The Frenchman fp-
ures that if he knocks out Dempsey he
will have to meet Tommy as the next
American in line for the heavyweight
title and that a study of the ST. Paul
mans methods would not be amiss.
Mike Gibbons, the celebrated "Phan-
TOM" will box Soldier Bartfeld in the
seml-tinal at the ball park, and, with
all Carpenters vaunted cleverness.
there is no doubt Mike can show him a
few things about ring generalship that
the Frenchman never heard about, The
third attraction on Squire Ebbets's card
will see Andy CLANCY, conqueror of
champion Johnny Kilbane, hooked up
IN ten-round fracas with Dutch
Brandt.
Even if Gene belmont could not be
considered a worthy opponent for
Rocky Kansas, which is not true by anv
means, the Buffalonian's encounter with
the Memphis youth would be worthy of
much consideration. But, one week from
Monday, Kansas has the most impor-
tant engagement of his career. On
June Rocky will face Benny Leonard
in twelveround set-to at Harrison
Field, N. J.
The wisdom of Kansas in attempting
to bowl belmont over just one week
before the title match has brought
down lot of criticism on the head
OF the upstate boy. Two victories of
this caliber in so short space of time
certainly would elevate Rocky to the
peak of lightweight fame.
Leonard is at the top of his form at
present. He has been making the fur
fly for the last two weeks at his Har-
lem training quarters, and there is lit
tie doubt but that he will be right on
edge when he steps into the Harri-
son Field arena.
The Palace of Joy Sporting Club
Coney Island, which scheduled its
opening for Monday night, has been
forced to postpone its christening until
next Saturday night. The management
announces that even by working over
time it has been impossible to finish
the arena. The Coney Island fight
palace, when completed, will be one OF
the most gorgeous arenas In the
country.

Hopping Fins Place
On u. s. Polo Team
speeial cobss to 7yho TyiSume


OND0N, May 27.--Earl Hopplng's
fine play against tho English
four last Wednesday has won him a
place on the American polo team,
which has another practice match at
Hurlingl,am tomorrow. Tommy
Hitchcock will play with Louis stod-
dard, Lord Dalmeny and Colonel
Hunter against Devereux Milburn's
quartet. No. on the American team
which. will play the first interna-
tional match seems the only posi-
tion about which there is any uncer-
tainty. Hitchcock has been bril-
liant at times but lacks weight and
experience.
Milburn's play will be watched
closely. His arm seems strong again
after few days rest. The Ameri-
can will use some first string ponies
tomorrow, as Miiburn proposes to
make the match real try-out.
The British defending four arc
gaining support daily and betting
now is practically at evens.

hand punches fast and straight.
Throughout the afternoon he did very
little with his left. We don't remem-
Der having seen him jab once. Occa-
sionally he swung with his left, but
he was not accurate, But the right is
marvellous. There is fine speed in the
punch and Carpenter fings his body
behind it. In style it reminds one
llttle OF Johnny Dundee, the light
weight. but there are 172 pounds in
the air when Carpenter leaps. Experts
dld not like the manner in which Car
pentier delivered the blow. They said
that he would leave himself wide open
TOR Dempsey's left and that the cham
plon would shoot him on the wing and
bring him down.
Dempsey Must Hit Quickly
Perhaps, but it will have to be a
fast left to get there before the right.
Deductions based on what shrewd
boxer like Carpenter does in public

on the basis of what he showed yes
terday afternoon it seems a mistake to
call him clever fighter without
qualification. He is exceedingly fast
gave no evidence of being particularly
skilled in blocking. His defense con-
sists almost entirely of rolling his
head away or of side stepping. Here
again the experts noted disapproval
and said that Dempsey would have no
trouble in reaching his stomach.
At first we were deceived as to Car
pentler's condition because he made so
much noise in breathing, but we no
ticed after time that the commotion
did not increase and that his chest was
these frank breathers who uses his
mouth. He is ready now.
At the end of two rounds Italian Joe
Cans hurried into shirt and started
for the farmhouse, but there was still
further embarrassment in store for
him. "Hey, Joie," shouted Gus Will
son, Carpenters trainer, "don't use up
all the hot water like you did this
morning." Cans blushed. He did not
seem to think that bathing was among
the subjects which would be discussed
in the presence of lady visitors.
Journee, the biggest Of Carpenters
sparrlng partners, was not available on
account of an injured arm, so Marcot,
chef and sparring partner, followed the
Italian middleweight. Marcot is not
impressive in the ring, and the work.

in Chicago Track Meet

HARVARD STADIUM, Cambridge,
AA Mass, May 27.--That Eastern
colleges will have no representation
in the so-callcd national intercol-
Iegiate championship in Chicago
next month is fairly certain.
The coaches of various large in
stitutions have frowned upon the
newcomer in the college ranks since
1t was announced that the West
erners would hold such meet.
1t Is said that June meet would
interfere with examination of stu
dents, but rivalry appears to be the
chief reason.

Charged With the
Sale Of Whisky
Gave $1,000 Bond

The case against Geo. Richling and
Dick Dewitt, charged with having in
their possession, and unlawfully dis
posing Of whisky, which they were
caught with last Saturday, was tried
in Justice Court and placed under
100000 bond each to await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury.
The testimony Of few witnesses
who testified in the case proved con-
clusively that the whisky was bought,
the purchaser giving his check for
one quart. 1t was also proven that
In search Of one Of their rooms, a
gallon or more was found, also a

sold was loaned to his partner who
carried it off and sold j. for eight
dollars. This may mean a bad deal
for the seller.
