Fight Plans AU
 Set For Friday
 Night Al Arena

Hold your breath, ye fight fans! Matchmaker George Dwyer of the Bridgeport A. X A. Co. today an nounced that everything is now all set for the star show in the State street arena for Friday night, and sthe aC- uon will start at S:15 o'clock without any more hitches. All obstacles have been overcome and the program will be presented as originally planned.
 Louis BoEaSh was a bit peeVed at the delay caused by the postponement Quite natural as the local boxer has been at a high tension for the past week a result of his hard work in preparing himself for the 15-round setto with Soldier Bartfield. Bo sash resumed training yesterday at the Acorn A C. before a large crowd in declaring that nothing can stop tho local boy from defeating Bartfield. Bosash again donned the mitts with husky Tommy Madden and uncorkei an abundance of pep despite the un- settled situation of the past few days
 Barficld's Wrist O. IA.
 Bartfield has switched his training quarters to the '. NJ. H. A. gym where his go with Bud" weafer. My wrist is now wholly well and I am fit to get into the ring now. The few extra days will work to my advantage he told the Times sporting editor. as he walloped the punching bag with his left propeller.
 Connie Lewis on a visit to New Hav- en yestreday was amazed to find the interest among out-Of-toWn sports at such a high point. Despite the fact that the Shugrue and Pilkington go is to be staged in the Elm City and a show is booked for Hartford on Thurs day night. Lewis discovered that close to 500 seats had been purchased for the big show here. It was this con dition of affairs that resulted in tho decision to change the date again from Thursday to Friday night Reports from Waterbury and other sport cen ters in the Naugatuck Valley indicate big excursions of sports to the Park City to witness the fights.
 Bill Smith Izluds Weafer.
 Bill Smith. manager of Weafer. while in town yesterday again repeat ed his assertions that the Norwalk demon knockout artist will again prove his superiority over Steadman whn they clash in their return match. Weafer who is training at the Acorn A C. never looked better and Stead man will be obliged to step his fastest to make good his past assertions that he is going to reverse the last verdict
 Soldier BartfieId learned for the first time yesterday that the veteran Terry Lee is going to officiate as ref cree. That suits me entirely, l nave always regarded Lee as one of the most competent judges in the ring ana have many times urged him to eS- tabIish himself in New York where capable referees are at a, premium

NO ADVANTAGE IN
 WEIGHT -CORBETT

prime. When a man is under 30 he is at his best. Furthermore, both fight CTS are thoroughly experienced. The fact that one will have an advantage over the other in a physical way is not to be taken too seriously consid- ering that that advantage will not be great. I have always contended that a man weighing, ITO pounds is big enough to win the heavyweight Championship if he possesses the punch, the science and the instinct to fight
 Carpentier has proved by his re- markable rise from a frail boy as a bantamwe1Sht to a thick chested, heavy inlbed, swift moving and ha1I hitting heavyweight that he was born of fighting stock. Dempsey, with Irish, Scoth and Indian blood in his veins, came by his fighting instinct just as naturally.
 When they get into the ring at Jer- sey City we will see a pair of fin lshed charlottesville best two conti- nents have produced in many a. year. We hope to see each at his best and with both in training and more than a month to go there is no doubt in my mind but that either would be phys ically fit to go anywhere from ten to 40 rounds should the contest prove to be q pretty even thing with dame victory hesitating over the ros:n filled canvas waiting to drop the laurel wreath on the brow of tn survivor to 12 rounds the boxing public has a cumStanceS and with the fight limited picture the funniest ever-
 chanie of seeing one of the greatest lights puglliSm has ever known.

By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion. (COpYright by l. N. s.


 Pittsburgh, May 24-Brilliant and interesting in the extreme are the fistic careers of Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter. The dapper French fighter who will try to win the worlds championship, July 2
 The rise of. Dempsey to the cham pionship was meteoric. It was inn pressive, too.
 Carpentier's ascendency to the European heavyweight championship D is a long story of amending persis- tence, marked here and there in his more youthful days with reverses that would have discouraged many box CT.
 Dempsey Got Late Start.
 When Dempsey launched forth on his big drive toward the title he was Q full grown man. He had the strength of an OK and above all the ed no man was able to stand before him until he toppled over big Jess Willard at Toledo. He blaDed a trail down the line of opponents that was two fights he has had since winning the crown. with Miske and Brennan. have resulted the same way.
 Carpenters record and his exper- fence is much different. Though he has stopped some rof the biggest men who have crawled through the ropes n recent years.
 The French champion is the only boxer I have ever heard of who has held the championship of his native country in every division from ban tamweight to heavyweight. and, mind you, it was only a short time before the outbreak of the World War that he got his full growth and strength. III the early days of his career he was a 1.-the, enemic Joking chap who did not appear capable of standing beating, let alone dealing out punish ment to an opponent. Yet Carpenter triumphed and his success entities him to unlimited praise and very ser iouS consideration as a candidate for the worlds heavyweight champion ship.

Soldier. BdrtfieLd Accounts
 Scenes Of Suffering ObserUed
 On Visit To War-I0rn Poland
By GEORGE F.. FIRSTBROOK.

By GEORGE F.. EIRSTBROOk-
 Soldier Bartfield in his triumphal climb up the sport ladder has not absorbed all the time by his own sue cesses, but he has had an opportun- ity of seeing some of the hardships wrought upon the unfortunates of Poland as a result of the World War.
 Bartfield recounted some of his eX- perienceS while in Europe last year on. a visit to his mother and sister in Lancyzn, a suburb of war ravaged Lemburg. 'Desolation and hunger among the people prevails every where, but the people are submitting to the tyranny to the extent of be- ing submissive, Spiritless children, under the crueltieS of their oppres- sors," said Bartfield to the writer. '%Thouisands are dyng in Poland and other central European countries for the lack of food and medicinal at tention," added the Brooklyn boxer who is to face Bogash in a 15-round bout at the State Street Arena Fri day night.
 Prisoner of BolsheyiStS. ..
 The departure of Bartfield from the home of his kin was retarded by the Bolshevists; escaping, he was held as a prisoner for three weeks in War saw, here he wandered about shelter less until assisted by the American Red Cross You cannot give too much praise to the Red Cross. They are the finest women in the wOrld,'' said Bartfield.
 While abroad Bartfield gave many exhibitions for the relief of suffering families. and incidentally augmented his professional boxing laurels by meeting champions of France and Belgium. ''I say to all to give what they can for the dying and starving of Europe" Bartfield said.
 An Orthodox Hebrew. Bartfeld is interested in numerous charities in Greater New York, where he has on many occasions contributed his ser vices for the benefit of the poor and other worthy causes. Among his recent performances was in a bout staged for the benefit of St. Johns Catholic College in Brooklyn.

 Looey Bogash's Hopes

Louis Bogash and Joe Smith, his manager, are not super stitiOuS combination as a rule, but today things are different.
 Bogash trained his training routine for his bout with Soldier Bartfied next Friday night and engaged in a five-mile hike in the BeardsIey Park regions, accom- panied by Smith, Tommy Madden and his pet Belgian police dog.
 The party had only fairly start ed on their grind when Tommy Madden halted and pIucked a fOur-Ieaf clover. A few minutes later Bogash discovered a horse shoe in the roadway.
 Double luck today" shouted Tommy Madden when BogaSh in spected the horseshoe.
 'sThat settles it, Looey wins for a sure thing over Bartfield," re- Sponded Smith.

evidence in hand, added to his con sistent hitting, it is seen he is the premier run getter in the league.
 Kingdom continues to play a snappy game in the shortfield and is connect ing with the curves of opposing pitch CTS. Kingdom also has fight in his system. Some of the Newfield Park wiseacres are picking him to be one of the sensations of the league before Independence Day rolls around.
 Taking stock of the Bridgeport out CT defense line for their combined bat ting and fielding abilities Emerick and Martin is a double combination that cannot be excelled in the league. Both have punches in their sticks and are felders of the topnotch brand. Dick Loftus is fielding like a Trojan and when he gets his eyes set on the ball Bridgeport will have the classiest all- around outfit in the circuit.
