will never challenge Dempsey again.
Some Of his hearers took issue with

up some easy money by defeating
some Of our lighter heavies, and then
seek another match with Dempsey
abroad.
Enough Is Enough.

he realizes that, he won't want any

he is not a physical marvel and he

man OF his build can assimilate. Mark

Can Georges Come Back"
Before the encounter with Dempsey
Georges was pictured as perfect
tail. Afterward, he made a tentative
agreement with Tex Richard to come
back and fight again as soon as his
injured hand permitted his indulgence
In hard bout.
But since his return to France, Car.
pentier has not yet regained his former
splendid condition, and tales OF his
contemplated retirement are drifting
over from the other side.
For one thing, the Frenchman's
right, which he claims he wrecked on
Dempseys jaw In the second round at
Jersey City, is mending slowly.
But evidence is not wanting that
Dempsey's rib crushers inflicted per.

Georges from long life and prosperity
but serious enough to prevent him
from taking chance against hard
hitters. A body puncher like Gibson,

That has been the oft-repeated
wall of baseball managers this year
In the major leagues there isn't a
team leader who couldn't convince
an unbiased listener that his team
would be away out In front II he
had the pitching to couple with his
hitting.
So we come at least to a season
that seems to prove that pitching is
a stronger factor in baseball than
hitting. The lively ball and pitch
ing restrictions apparently shed new
light on an old and much mooted
question.
Pick out any team-even the two

hold the enemy to one or two runs
they would be leaders. The teams
