Challenger Shows Splendid Form In
 Sparring Match

Manhasset, N. Y., June LA right hand that worked like piston, shiftiness that is dazzling in speed and smile that is typical only to Georges Carpentier-these things were exhibited today at the training camp of Jack Dempsey's challenger.
 Spending a large part of the morning on the road and in the gymnaisum, Georges ate light lunch and ap peared for work again at three o'clock First came the hard Joe Jeanette who felt not few of Georges punches In the two rounds they boxed. This work cut was good but it faded into insig nificance after that which followed.
 Jack Goldbery, of Panama, a wslter- weight was the star sparring partner performer. He stepped into the ring exchanged smiles with Carpenter, then proceeded to give the challenger the best workout he has had on this side of the water.
 They worked fast and Carpentier for the first time displayed the re- markable speed which for some un- known reason he has held in leash since beginning training. Around the ring he danced. quick as a flash, working his punches accurately and in quick succession.
 Over went his left, then swift right and he was out againnH HeN att tempted to check his blows SO as not to hurt his clever opponent but on one occasion his right sought Gold bergs jaw and he fell on Carpenters shoulder. Begging his pardon many times Georges held him until he could recuperate, Goldberg recovered quickly and they were at it faster than ever. When the two rounds were over Georgges patted Goldberg on the shoulders, laughed and said: "Fine, that's good-the best that have had" A big crowd witnessed the workout and Georges was loudly applauied.

Americans Win In
 Worlds s Hard Court
 Tennis Title Tilts

St. Cloud, June 1.--All the Americans engaged in the worlds hard court ten- his championship matches here today were victorious over their opponents. The only match which proved to be a hard fought fight was the mixed doubles, in which the junior American team, Arncld Jones of Providence, and Edith Sigourney of Boston, defeated the French team, N. Borotra and Mad anne Lebesnerais, the former of whom las been picked to play in the French Davis cup test matches.
 William T. rilden of Philadelphia. worlds grass court champion, had an easy day and was never extended. He was tired after the exceedingly trying match in the mems doubles yesterday, which Tilden characterized as one Of the hardest in which he had ever en- gagged in his tennis career.
 The playing today of Mrs. Moll1 Bjurstedt Mallory, American woman s singles champion, was a revelation 60 the spectators who have been attend ing the matches regularly since the tournament began and have watched her winning with great difficulty over players classed as second raters. When she defeated Madame Vassard O. France with consummate ease, she showed the best tennis exhibited by a woman during the tournament with the exception of that of Mile. Lenglen, the French champion She not only drove from the base line with her GUS tomarys speed, but showed improved form on shots inside her service line and in volleying.
