Ibxny Here For TtU0 Gnnaes With Bridgeport 7enn,
Carpenter
 First Battle With Yankee
BY JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion.
 (CODyright l. N. S.)

Pittsburgh, May 27-Shortly after he won the French welter champion ship Georges Carpenter ran into his second American opponent
 He was matched with Dixie Kid, the colored boxer He has been talk
 he was not in condition for the fight which was stopped in the fifth round to save George from terrific beat ing.
 Always optimistic, Carpenter $ friends refused to take the setback handed him by the Dixie Kid serious Iy and their faith in him was upheld when he made a chopping block of Sid Burns, then an English idol, in first appearance in a London ring Shortly afterwaTd he met and defeat ed Young Josephs. This bout was al so held in London and the British critics began to concede that Carpen- tier was no flash in the pan.
 It was not until late in 1911 and in 1912, however, that the French cham pion began to assmiilate a number of hard earned lessons in the American style of boxing
 Win over Harry Lewis.
 In December, 1911s Harry beWls always a great boxer and in his day one of the sturdiest of middlewe1ghts crossed the Atlantic to seek glory. Eventually Carpenter, who had now entered middleweight ranks, was matched with the American fighter, though not before he had knocked out Jim Sullivan, British nlddleWeognt champion, in two rounds at MohIe Carlo.
 Paris was on the qui vive over the LewiS-Carpentier match Georges friends had come to learn, through following him on his upward chlnb, that they could always expect him to make a great fight. And they were not disappointed. At the end Of ~ rounds, Carpenter. who had toughI the decision. Lewis admitted that ms youthful opponent was some ring ster," but thought he should have no worse than draw
 The victory over Harry Lewis made something of a national hero of Car pentier, and he now took the pleasant plunge into the realm of fat purses for the first time Following Lne ing and beating many local cham pions and cashing in on his fame. In April, 1912, he was matched with George Gunther, an American colored fighter who had met such men as Tony Caponi, Jack Blackburn. Harry Lewis, Jewey Smith. Seaman Parsons and P. O. Curran. Gunther was talr4y clever and a very tough man ana Descamps at first hesitated to match Carpentier with him. It was GeorSeS insistence in the end that resulted III this match being made.
 Like many of Carpenters carrier fights the Gunther bout went the limit. In 20 rounds Gunther gave Carpenter one of the most stupporh fights he had ever had and the FrehcH Fl lad was fortunate to have kept out of harms way and earned the decision. Some months later at Nice thls par met 4 second time and Georges proved he had learned much by giving Gun ther a decisive whipping ill , rounds The popularity of American boxers Tn France at this time lured Willie LeW!s and others to cross the pond and II was in the few months following his last bout with Gunther that Georges proved to Willie Lewis. Papke ana KIauss that he had a fighting heart.

New Records
 Anticipated

Cambridge, May 27-Crowds trek ed their way early today to the liar ward Stadium today to see the begin ming of the 45th track and field inter- collegiate championships.
 Experts are divided as to which college will win the title. Yale, Dart mouth. California, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Harvard - all are conceded chances. But critics are agreed that several records are in danger.
 It seems to be an accepted fact that tomorrow will see the setting of new I. c. A. A. A. record for the running broad iump-1oossjoly new American standard for that event. Ned Gourdin. Harvard's versatile star, last week eNcelled the mark Of A feet F inches. established by Al Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania at New York, in the intercollegiates of 1899. In beating Princeton Gourdin did 24 feet 6 inches, and made a new col 1egiate record. But an intercollegiate record. But an intercollegiate mark must be made in the championships and Gourdin promises to oblige. He also will go after Meyer Prinstein's American mark of 24 feet "A inches.

 The Bridgeport Schoolboys got an excellent "workout' for today's game in the 3 to "sapping" dealt them by the Milford Prep team yesterday. Powell, the Milford twirler, was in superb form, holding the locals to a runless and hitless game. Only 27 batters faced the Milford twirlers in the game.
 'tSlats" Gallagher was touched for total of 3 hits. three laced out doubles and two knocked down triples. The fielding of the Hilltop nine was ragged and the Milford school made the most of all advantages. Ray whelan made some pretty catches, in right field, and was the only man on the Park City team to reach second base.
 Lucas, catcher of the home team, lead in the hitting, getting four hits in as many trips to the plate. He

Weafer Stops Clayton
 Hn 3rd Round Of Bout

Bud weafer, the Norwalk battler, added another link to his chain of ring conquests in the New Haven Arena last night, when he stopped Joe Clayton in the third round in the semi-final to the Shugrue-Pilkingto bout. It was Weafers fight all the way, the Norwalker jabbing his op- ponent with his left. Clayton dis played a fair defense and succeeded in blocking Weafer's right. Clayton was badly cut up and bleeding from the punishment when the bout was halted. The spectators booed the boxers, the go being so One-sided.
 ShugrIe a Winner.
 Johnny Shugrue of Waterbury, scored @ decisive victory over Charley Pnkington in their much-talked-of 15-roupd bout. It was a tame con test. The Brass City boxer forced the milling in twelve rounds, and at no time in the battle did the Meri- den boy appear to be in the running. Shugrue concentrated his attack to the body and landed his famous one two punch with ridiculous ease There were no knockdowns, though PiIkington was badly beaten about the head and body.
