Determination II Evident.
Will determination and confidence

afraid to mix it with his burly ad-
versary. In the exchanges which fol-

but quickly recovered and was hold
ing his own at the bell. Nothing
daunted. he opened a furious assault
in the second round and registered
no less than five clean blows of va
rious descriptions, mostly to the head
Of the champion, who seemed sur
prised at the viciousness Of the at
tack and was thoroughly shaken up.
The challenger had by far the bet
ter Of this round. 1t was here he
would have won had he been oppos-
ing a Joe Beckett or Rombardier
Wells But Dempsey. although un-
mistakably Jared. had not been
reached in vulnerable spot. The
champion came back strong for round
3. and for the first time looked to be
the slashing, merciless mauler that
he is. Having obtained confidence

pumped piston-like and with bone
crushing force to the midriff Of the
challenger. who unquestionably was
saved from q visit to Sunderland by
the bell.
Finally Takes the Count.
Descamps jumped into the ring and
led his charge to his corner. where he
was ministered to. Carpenter recov-
cred very rapidly and bobbed up for
the fourth round with a clear head
and with determination apparently un-
diminished. But. although he pos
sessed the will to do. the flesh was
weak, and after about minute OF
milling. in which Georges efforts were
confined largely to trying to evade his
merciless pursuer. Dempsey landed q
right to the body and Carpenter went
to the floor. He lay motionless. and
the peculiar, buzzing sound made by
a vast assemblage about to break into
cheers was heard.
Carpenter jumped to his feet with
the agility of a cat at the count OF
nine, however. and attempted to de-
fend himself against the attack of a
warrior who already had the scent
Of victory in his nostrils. But the
effort was futile. Again those piston
like blows beat q tattoo, and finally
it happened. A right-hander, which
travelled seemingly not more than six
inches. caught him squarely on the
jaw and he went down in a huddled
heap and was still there, insensible,
when Referee Ertle's right arm rose
and fell for the tenth time. denoting
that Jack Dempsey. a swarthy-skin-
ned American, who. Of all the fighters
the game ever produced. probably can
hit the hardest. still was champion
Of the world

HIS NINTH ADVENTURE.
Peary's Chief Lieutenant on Dash
to Pole in 1919,

Donald b. Macmillan was Admiral
Peary's chief lieutenant on the lat
ter's successful dash to the north pole
in 1919. and the present is his ninth
adventure into the arctic regions. He
was born at Provincetown. Mass, in
1874, the son of a Cape Cod sea cap
tain. He was graduated from Bow
doin College in 1898 and took up post
graduate work at Harvard in 1910
1912. Before becoming An explorer
he was public school teacher and
principal. In addition to accompany
ing Peary on his last memorable
Arctic journey. he was a member OF
the Cabot Labrador expedition in
1910 and the leader of the Crocker
Land expedition three years later. In
1911 and 1912 he made chronological

Financed BY Alumni.
The present expedition is being
financed by the alumni of Bowdoin
College and the 115-ton schooner
which carries the party was named
in honor of the alma mater. The ves-
sci is of the Gloucester fisherman
type, sheathed with ironwood to re-
sist the ice, and is eighty-seven feet
long, with draught of nine and one
half feet. Crude oil engines capable
