I Will Defeat CARPENTER
Worse Than Dempsey DID,
Gibbons Says; Is Training

he puts himself in his place and
figures what he would do under SIM
liar circumstances.
Analysis
But as I sat at the ringside that
day 1 had a two-fold purpose. i
was studying both men-Carpentier.
the man 1 am matched to fight in
October. and Dempsey. the slugger
| whom / will eventually meet.
1 saw in Carpenter a wonderful
athlete, a clever boxer, with punch
ing power only in his right, a nov
ice at infighting. but a man who
possesses a heart that is game to
the core.
In Dempsey I saw a man who is
a fighter from his toes up, willing
to take a punch in order to give
one, and m~arvelously strong. He
wasn't as fast on his feet as I had
expected him to be. He keeps set
always to deliver a knockout blow.
Dempsey is a spot-picker like my
self. He fights the midsectton of his
opponents. That is what gets the
real results in knockout fighting.
Some time ago l went to the Uni
versity of Minnesota to see a human
body dissected in order to learn first
hand the exact location of the most
vital r centers.
SpOt.Picker
Those nerve centers are the spots
I pick and land on.
While the finishing blows In most
of my twelve consecutive knockouts
this year have been to the chin or
Jaw, it was a well placed body SOCK
that started my opponents to the
canvas.
When you know the spots, knock
ing a man out is like pressing but
tons. You keep pressing them until
you get the combination that turns
off the lights.
I have had seventy-three fights
during my ring experience. OF them
but twenty-five have been k~nockouts.
I've niled I'D twelve of them in the

TOMMY GIBBONS
Jipht Heayyyyeight Challenger


OSAKIS, Mimi. July 22:-Getting
the match with Georges Carpenter
for the light heavyweight champion
ship of the world is a stepping stone
TO a fight with Jack Dempsey and
the heavyweight title.
And it is the heavyweight crown
that holds the real magic for me.
1 regard the Frenchman as the
next best man to Dempsey. After
I win from him, and l am sure l
will, and d~ecisively, Dempsey will
have to fight me.
1t is much better that I fight Car
pentier before being matched with
the champion.
The match will be a test for me.
1t will give the public a real line on
me.
His Prediction
If Carpenter fights me the same
way he did Dempsey. the bout won't
go four rounds. If he adopts a diff
ferent style, 1t will take me longer to
beat him just as it would have taken
the champ under different circum-
stances.
Carpenter fought Dempsey wrong.
When he mixed it with him, he
cast aside any chance of victory he
may have had.
He had no defense for the cham
pion's infighting. He was a baby in
the arms of the powerful Dempsey.
But my! how game he was. He
showed a fighting heart that is sell
dom equaled in the rosined ring.
In that second round he proved
he was a terrific slugger. What he
lacked was a combination of punch
es to follow up the lead he had
started by rocking Jack with his
right.
Instead of being able to bore on
in with his left, he had to keep
drawing back his right to cock it
for his next punch.
When one fighter analyZes another

last six months. Until this year I
always figured I was a clever boxer,
not a puncher.
While it may sound foolish for me
to say 1 a punch as hard as the
champion, 1 believe in my W heart
that 1 can.
And because I am faster than
Dempsey. his equal at infighting, a
better boxer and just as hard a
puncher, I think I can knock Car
pentier out quicker than the champ
did at Jersey City.

Commission.

Schedules OF an increase In gas rates,
filed July 10 last by the Queens Borough
Gas and Electric Company, were sus-
pended yesterday by the Public Service
Commission. The company serves sesi-
dents OF the Fifth Ward in Queens and
parts OF Nassau. The proposed increase
In Queens was from s1.fb 1000 cubic
feet to $3.50, with n minimum charge OF
81 a month instead OF 40 cents In
Nassau county the company sought TO
boost its rate from s1.40 to $3.50. with
the same minimum charge
The commission took tho company's
valuation figures for 1919, added all
acquisitions TO the property since that
time and added four times as much for
working capital as in 1912. Experts
found that In 1920 the company made
return OF 7h per cent. on Its invest
ment. Figures for the first six months
of 1921 indicate that the return this
year will be even greater.
ut therefore seems" said william
A. Prendergast, chairman. that on the
basis of our prlma facie figures any In

BROOKLYN CITY R. R.
DEFICIT INCREASES
Expenses Grow Faster Than
Gross Revenue-Charge
Against City Officers.

The Brooklyn City Railroad Company.
operating 217.31 miles of line on 1902
miles OF streets in Brooklyn, reported
yesterday a gross revenue of $10,I57,171
for the year ended June 80, compared to
s7.23s.2sS for the period October 10.
1919. when Independent operation was
resumed, to June 80. 1920. The rise in
operating expenses, however, was great
cr, and a deficit in net income of $780,
s5s resulted. increasing the profit and
loss deficit to ss6s,726.
Discussing in the annual report the
income from the company's property. H.
Hobart Porter. vice-president and gem
eral manager. said in part:
"The strike last August cost the COM
pany approximately s1.oOo,Ooo. The
gross revenue from transportation has
recently shown a considerable increase
as compared to corresponding period
during the previous yeer. due in part
to increased riding. resulting from the
better service furnished. and in part
from the collection OF second five cent
fare on certain lines.
During the second half OF the calen-
dar year 1920 operating expenses were
very high In consequence Of tho prices
of fuel and other materials. A marked
re .uction has, however, taken place,
which has been favorably reflected in
operating expenses during recent months
The reduction In living expenses has
permitted your officers to negotiate a
reduction of wages with the employees
which became effective on August 8,
1921"
Referring to the work of the Transi,
Commission, the report says: 1T Is
hoped that the commission may evolve
plan which will protect the stock
holders and boni holders of your COM
pany and give to the borough of Brook
lyn an adequate transportation system
at reasonable rates of fare"
Mr.. Hobart described at length wha,
he called the efforts of the municipal
authorities to embarrass the company In
connection with second fares. bus oper-
atons, bridge service and proposed lay
ing Of crossings. saying I'm part: "The
municipal authorities of the city of New
York continue in their attitude of not
only refusing to cooperate with the
company but have apparently sought to
embarrass 1t. as was evidenced when
your company endeavored to collect q
second fare, on advice of counsel, on Its
Flatbush avenue line"

Department to-day to the worldwide
trade depression coming as an aftermath
diminished quantities were to a great
extent responsible for the decline. the de-
partment ASSERTED.
Value of fof.Sgn trade dropped from

The department declared that the ad-
vantage enjoyed by this country during
and after the war of being the only
country able to supply the needs OF the
others has passed that crops are being
raised on the battlefields of the devas-
tated regions of Europe that the press
ing needs Of manufacturing industries
abroad for raw materiala has been
filed, and that the United States must
compete in the world markets in prices
and terms with other countries.
''The foreign exchange situation" the
department continued. "also had an ad-
verse effect on American exports last
year. With exchange rates of foreign
currencies deprecated to a point which
made prices in dollars prohibitive. with
declining imports, the impossibility of
settling the balances already due the
United States in gold, the difficulty OF
arranging further credit facilities. with
cancellation of orders, rejection of goods
already shipped and collection drafts
dishonored. 1t was impossible for exports
to continue at the rate of $500, ,000, 900 or
$500. 600, 900 a month, to which they had
grown during the war"
Two-thirds OF the years decline in i'm

down. stopped buying foreign hides,
wool, cotton, silk. rubber and other ma
