I statute between the principals, but this did not always carry victory with it.
 Bebinning with the Corbett-Sullivan battle at New Orleans in 1892, the big Boston man was massive in propor. tion to the 1.-the, supple and extremely clever Californian but the smaller man bore the big champion down and an nexed the title in the 21st round. Cor bett was one and one-half inches tall CT but 15 pounds lighter than Sullivan who stood feet 10 1-2 inches and weighed POO pounds
 Other Champions
 Corbet and Bob Fitzsimmons were more evenly matched in height and age. Corbett was half an inch taller
 nd four years younger than the Cor nlshman but he was nearly 20 pounds heavier than Fitzsimmcns when the latter knocked him out and won the title at Carson City, March IT, 1897.
 Two years later James J. Jeffries of huge build and outweighipg Fitz- simmons by fully 50 pounds won. the title in II rounds from Bob at Coney Island and five months later, Novem- ber, 1899, Jeffries got a referees de- c;sion over Tom Sharkey in a 25-round bout in the same arena. Sharkey was several inches shorter and about 20 pounds lighter than the then cham pion.
 Corbett challengel Jeffries twice for the title but was knocked out by the bigger man each time. once in g
 Jack Johnson, the negro who de- feated Jeffries at Reno, New, in 1910, was nearer to the big mans size than any of the other heavyweigH.s who had met him for the title in the pre- vious ten years. Johnson was three years younger, one inch shorter and only ten pounds lighter than the 0hioan Johnson scored a knockout in IS rounds.
 Jess Willard, the giant Kansan, was held the worlds heavyweight title. He stood 6 feet, inches, weighed 250 pounds and had decided advan- tages in every way ever Johnson when he won from the negro at Ha- vana, Cuba, in 1915. When he met Dempsey, two years ago. these physi- cal advantages did not enable him to withstand Dempsey's sudden on slaught as he confessed afterward that he did not remember much after he was knocked down in the opening round

CARPENTER AND DEMPSEY ARE ABOUT EQUAL IN STATURE AND
 BUILD, BUT JACK WEIGHS MORE

NEW YORK, June With a diff ference in weight of about 20 pounds when they meet in the ring four weeks hence, Dempsey and CarpentieI will otherwise appear almost equal in build and stature. If both were tC miX in among a few collegiate ath letes football players and oarsmen probably neither would be picked out as being unusually big or formidable in general makeup. Dempsey stands 6 feet. 1-2 inches in height, just two inches taller than the French cham pion and while Carpenter will weigh about ITO pounds in fighting condition Dempsey expects to enter the ring slightly under 190 pounds.
 The champions shoulders are broad while Carpenters are sloping in shape but otherwise the bodily meas urements of the pair do not differ to any marked extent.
 Experts who have seen both men are satisfied that they will be we'll matched in speed and cleverness but the majority believe that Dempsey will carry by far the heavier weight in his blows. Dexterity and supple ness are claimed as advantages for the Frenchman by his followers but just how hard a punch he, can deliver is still problem.
 Dempsey Has Punch
 Dempsey showed in his bout with Willard at Toledo that his blows poss- ess enormous punishing power but his more recent encounter with Bill Bren- nan at Madison Square Garden did not demonstrate, that he still retains the forceful punch necessary to success fully stand off a man of Carpenters undoubted ability and cleverness.
 Just how good the challenger is or how hard blow he can land is prob lematical to the majority of American fistic patrons, who have seen him in action. His only bout here, that with Levinsky in Jersey City last year. did not afford much of a line on Carpen- tiers prowress. Levinsky, always a clever boxer, made practically no ser ious effort to defend himself on that occasion and went down and out an easy victim fer the Frenchman in the fourth round.
 Nearly 30 years have elapsed since rules and glove contests were substituted for the London prize ring code governing pugilistic contests for championship titles, In most of the bouts fought for the heavyweight since the change took place, there was decided advantage

FRUIT THIEVES AT
 WORK IN ORCHARDS

That fruit thieves are again at work in Connecticut is suggested by reports from various parts of the state that or chards have been robbed by persons who visited them in automobiles Farmers in Connecticut have suffered from depre- dations of tbis character in the past and that experience has created the impress sion that fruit thieving has been re- sumed.
 Thefts occur in the night when the members of the farmers household are asleep and they are conducted so noise lessly that many times not even the vigil lant watchdog is aware of the presence of the thieves in the orchard. The first intimation that some of the victims have of their loss is when they see their trees in the morning. stripped of fruit.
 The fact that the robbery Is done by persons who come to the farm house in automobiles is supported by the exper- fence of some farmers whose slumbers were disturbed by noise from the autos and who had only time to rush out of their houses to see the autos containing the bags of fruit being driven away.
