Reporting on the operation of the

gress that this act has served as "a

In foreign markets. The commission
says that during the year 43 associa-
lions. comprising approximately 732
concerns. whose offices and plants
were distributed over 43 states. re-
ported to 1t as operating under the
export art.
The commission says also that the
law. instead of increasing the strength
Of the already great American indus
trial establishments. has enabled the
smaller concerns to band together In
a fashion to push fully organized ex-
port trade In keenly competitive
manner. which they are not able to
do ut home. To this extent the COM
mission believes, the law has worked
TO the great advantage of the small

BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York. Dec. 3O.-When Frank
Moran finished Joe BacSett In two
rounds. fight fandom gave up lot oil
nice things il had been thinking
about Georges Carpenter
He was regarded as wonder man
because he finished the English
champion with one punch BUT
when Moran, who doesn't rank one
to ten in American heavyweight cir
cles. did the same thing in round
longer the experts figured the
Frenchman would be easy for Demp-
sey.
Then came the Dempsey-Brennan
fight and the champions stock slump
ed.
The fight folks think now that the
Dempsey-C Carpenter affair will be
"any mans game"
Against Brennan, Dempsey show
ed three important things that the
critics we're dubious about. In his
favor was the evidence that he could
go under hard pressure for at least
twelve rounds and that he can take
hard punch from hard hitter. The
third, less favorable to him in dop-
ing him with Carpenter, is the fact
shown by Brennan that he is very
open and can be reached by fast
man who will. carry the fight to
him.
Against Fulton, Willard and Miske
his last fights Dempsey carried the
fight and proved the truth of the
German theory that perfect of
fense needs no defense. Dempsey
got that trio before they had
chance to get him.
He evidently figured that Brennan
would cover up and try to last as
long as possible. Instead Brennan
fooled him and dashed out of his
corner on the offensive. Dempsey
was baffled when Brennan insisted
on carrying the fight to him and he
had to wait his chance.
Carpenter has punch and 50
has Dempsey, thus strengthening the
opinion expressed before that the
first one who gets his punch across
will win the fight
Joe Beckett is now an admitted
second rater SO Carpenters quick
work with him cannot be overes-
timated. However, the Frenchman
may fight Moran and the result will
be interesting.
Brennan is better fighter than
Moran, but only slightly. If 1t takes
Carpenter more than twelve rounds
to finish Moran. Dempsey will look
better
However, it must be considered
that Dempsey VS. not himself against
Brennan. He was overtrained and
stale and he was cold for six
rounds.
He also showed the lack of work.
He worked his way up to Willard by,
steady fighting and then grew rusty
by having only two bouts in sew
enteen months.
Joe yelling made BENNY Leonard
step some to beat him and all the
lightweights, who were lodging the
! champion before, are now hot after
him.
The heavyweights probably will
figure the same way about Dempsey
and will be more willing 10 get in
the ring with him.
If he gets enough work between
now and July 4 next, the tentative
date for the next big defense of his
title, Carpenter will not face the
Dempsey that Brennan did.
