His right hand undoubtedly IL his
best weapon, but I'm not impressed
with the way he uses it. Held too
nigh. as I've indicated, he'll get in
lot Of trouble the FIRST time he pulls
that sort of a stunt on a fellow Of
the Dempsey type. Remember always
that Dempsey IL not only awkwardly
clever. but has lot OF speed himself
and IL apt to outspeed even the great
speedster, Carpenter himself.

Not only is this little fellow Dun

TWELVE YEARS IN RING.
This is Johnny's twelfth year in
the ring. and every ono of these
twelve fairly bristle with stirring
and strenuous battling. He was born
in November, 1893 and that makes
him only % now. so that with any
sort of fair luck he should be an
active factor in the ring Tor some
time to come. He does not wilt and
fade like most OF the lighters who
begin their careers at an early age.
There may be racial traits that ac-
count for this and then again II may
be something else.
He began fighting around New
York in 1910 and since that time he
has beer beaten decisively but once,
that being in 1917. when Willie Jack
son caught him with a right punch
on the chin and hattened him for the
full count. the FIRST and only time the
little Wop has tasted that sort OF
medicine.
1t 10 true that he has lost decI-
sions, but not many OF them at that.
He was on the short end at the con-
