MANHASSET, L. l.. June 14.-They

at the old homestead and more than a
hundred real and bogus scribes crashed

frightened away trespassers, was te-

The first thing that struck visitors yes

Two State troopers, resplendent in drab
uniforms, belts bristling with cartridg ges
and guns on the hip, leaned on the old
front gate while their mountG grazed by
the roadside. The gate was padlocked
and swung open only when the proper
credentials were presented.
1t was Chicago day at Carpenters
Long Island chateau. And those Chicago
boys certainly stand well with Georges,

just a few miles away, to saw hello and
chat with him about the big fight.

of the evening on the front porch at

had not been made Yet. also tOund
Georges full of quick interest and SEEM

Ihe general conversation dnIted 10

He said: What do you think of the

well" l replied, "its to 1 or better
in Dempsey's favor now, according to
what | hear"
but surely he came back. ''htat can
make no difference in the fight itself The
odds can have nothing to do with what
Dempsey or l will show in the ring"
agreed with him that the odds should
have no effect on the fight provided the
fighters themselves refused to consider
them one way or another.
"I have investigated the records Of
heavyweight championships Of the past
Carpenter continued. Il find that about
eight out of ten faVorites have been

against you ="
sullivan was a 5-to-1 favorite over
me, Georges" 1 said. "And can re-
member as though it were yesterday
how many an onlooker at my training
camp said with a convincing nod OF the
head that John L. would annihilate
me-"
"And you in turn were the favorite
over Fitzsimmons?" ?"
That's right" I answered.
And Fitz in his turn was favorite
over Jeffries and Johnson was the IA
vorite over Willard at least up to the
last few hours before the fight, after
most Of the big bets had been placed %
There is one outstanding instance
where the challenger went into the ring

was generally picked to defeat Willard y
THAT was one big instance" an
swered OF course, there have been
other cases, but they are not worth while
recalling"
"Do you know" Carpenter said with
smile. L wish Dempsey was a to l
'avorite. My friends would get better
odds. I would like to see them get all
they can. The fact that Dempsey is
favorite makes no difference to me. If
[ was favored to win it would be the
same The fight is the fight and the
best man will win it. regardless Of the
odds. The fact that / am smaller than
the champion is not worrying me.
Smaller men have won just as often as
the large rones. Am I not right?"
That's quite true" said l, II was
smaller than Sullivan"
"And Fitz, he was smaller than your"
Eyes, and Dempsey was smaller, much
smaller, than Willard"
Then it is, what you call history"
Georges continued, that size does not

show, "but don't see how he can upset
Dempsey. He's good little man, cut
Jack is a good big man."
Marcel Denys, q welterweight, was the
French challengers first opponent
Denys, of course, was no match for
Georges in hitting power but he took
some good wallops and got home a few
returns. Toward the close of the first
round Carpenter came out of a crouch
and planted one of his leaping 1efts on
Marcers neck. Marcel wavered but did
not fall. However, he had enough in one
round.
Paul Journee, the 240-pounder, mixed
it right merrily with Carpenter for two
rounds. He did not pull his punches.
Many found a mark, but at no time was
Georges annoyed. He gave JOurnee a
good pasting and at times when the pace
was too fast for the big fellow he fell
back and allowed JourneG TO lead, con-
tenting himself with slipping the blows
or catching them on his gloves. Italian
Joe Cans was the third victim.

YELLS OF KIDS
FAIL TO PULL
TRIBE THROUGH
Indians Bump Into More Bad
Luck and Drop Fourth
Straight. I
MORE GINGER NEEDED

StiIl under the spell Of that invisible
monkey. the old 1in1. the Indians suffered
their fourth straight defeat Monday and
the beating occurred before kids and reg
uIar customers. The Millers. under the
management Of the noted Pongo Joe
CantillOn. made their first 1921 visit to
Washington Park, and when the pastim-
ing for the day ended they were on the
long end Of to 8 score, despite the
fact that their starting pitcher failed to
last the game out.
It was a case Of the Indians getting
men on bases, but not getting them
around Sterling Stryker did not pitch
bad ball. but his mates were not there
with the old punch in the clinch. Grover
Loudermilk, tall and speedy opposed
Sterling on the mound and the rangy boy
famed six Tribesmen in the first three
innings, and he still had enough left In
the sixth to strike out Schreiber with the
bases filed.
It was kids day" at the park and
about 500 o the 'Tuture greats were IN
the bieachers yelling their heads off for
s Tribe victory. Through the courtesy OF
the Tribe club officials the boys were
admitted fee and to show that they ap-
preciated the kindness OF Owner Smith
and company, the little fellows made
plenty Of noise. Their roofing got re-
suits in the seventh, when the Tribe
scored three runs, but pull as they did
the kids were unable to pull the In
dians through to a victory.
Bob Fisher was the hitting star OF the
DAY the Miller second sacker getting
triple, double, single and sacrifice hit.
His hits led to others also, for he scored
three times. There was something
strange in Fishers actions, for during
practice he appeared in a peeved spell,
but his mad mood did not hinder his
hitting However, he passed up a chance
for a triple play during the pastiming
BY hesifating when a lucky liner to
Shortstop Jennings cut the Indians down
in the sixth.
The Indians are not showing the same

pitching has improved, but the hitting
has slumped and the ginger jar with It,
Pug Cavet, Tribe ace, was carded to
pitch tOday's game and there was good

BAT PICKS DEMPSEY.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Jack Dempsey
should win the big battle in at least
eight rounds. l pick him as the winner
because he is bigger, stronger heavier
than the Frenchman and he hits harder
says Battling Levinsky.
although Dempsey should win, he will
have to get himself into perfect condi-
ton to do it, because Carpenter is very
fast and clever. And it is a mistake to
think that Carpenter hasn't powerful
punch. He hits hard enough to win even
from Dempsey in one blow If he lands it
right. Therefore Dempsey will have to
be at his best and will have to be very
