NEW YORK. July Jack Dempsey
viii win by a knockout before the
sixth round today The writer can't
see any other finish to the best ad-
ever known,
Candidly / think Georges Carpenter
has an awful gall TO even think he
has a chance against Dempsey Car
pentier is a nice looking fellow. Hes
a good hghter in his class but who
ever told him that he could lick Demp-
sey must have been leaning up against
the bamboo.
CoMPLIMENTs TO SHAW.
Bernard Shaw gays that the French
challenger should be the favorIte IN
the betting He saw Carpenter beat
a couple of second raters in London.
According to shaw, the Frenchman is
perfect or course you must remem-
per that the pink whiskered scribe mas
seen many battles. There haven
been many fighters over on the other
side TO look at
Up 10 the present time Carpenter is
the best fighter he has ever seen and
o fcourse he looks like the works 10
him
DAD USED 20 LOOK GOOD.
I used 20 think my dad WAS the best
boxer in the world when he boxed with
me as a kid I had seen pictures CT
Choynski, McAuline. Goddard and Jim
Corbett but the only man I had ever
seen box was my old man. He sure
did look like the cake 70 me.
When I saw George Lavigne, Peter
Jackson and Corbett few years later
my old man ran one. two twen-y-
eight. He was an awful joke TO me
then
Dempsey is a real ngnter. He has
everything a champion Of the word
should have. He is young He is in
excellent shape he can take a SOCK
on the chin and come back; ne can
hit with either hand and is a good
boxer Dempsey has the ideal build.
too He is a bit over six feet tall and
in ring costume tips the scales at
about 100 pounds
NEVER FOUND WANTING.
What better bet could a fellow ask
for than that?
Dempsey has been tried out ans
never yet has been found wanting He
met every heavyweis sht that we've had
and beat them decisively Berore
Dempsey met these men they we're
supposed TO be great. We considered
them tough customers. After Mt.
Jack planted them in a horizontal po-
sition they suddenly became second
raters that is. certain Dempsey
knockers said thex never amounted 10
anything anyway But they did
They were tough guys until Demp-
sey got them They were hard be-
cause they have never met a determin-
cd hghter like this fellow They nev-
er had a man tear right in regardless
OF lefts and rights. They never
dreamed Of such a thing. Morris,
Fulton and Willard crumbled before
his attack. 1t wasn't that he was a
superior boxer. II was his indiYer-
ence 70 their punches that killed them.
He tore in where angles feared to
tread
DOES CARPENTER THINK sOf
Carpenter has never seen a fighter
OF this type Jeanette boxed him but
Joe vas never aggressive. Wells
boxed him but he was meyer agrees
sive Levinsky faced HIM like bloke
getting him first slant at the electric
chair Beckett faced the Frenchman
like a kind-faced COW.
Does CARPENTER expect Dempsey to
step out there with a silly grin on his
mug and wait for developments?
really think he does. I really think
pescanps does. too.
Boys its going to be an awful
shock We have heavyweight tide
holder today who is the most aggres-
sive daRede I'll since John l. sullivan
swell fellow out Of the ring kind
