tainment OF the season in Pythian

Keystone Field Club. The show will
AFFORD the boxing fans the treat Of
the season and no doubt the house
will be packed.
The windup will present the we'll
known Toughy Dugan, of Port Rich
mond. and Joe Martin. the ever
willing mixer Of the Keystone Field
Club. This should be the greatest
contest OF the season as both know
nothing but battle from start to fin
ish. Dugan, is enough said, as he
has already made himself solid with
che local boxing enthusiasts. Martin
also needs no introduction. as he has
never failed to give the fans run
for their money. On his last appear
ance at Pythian he stopped X. o.
Brommall, Frankie Lewis cham
pion. in five rounds Anybody who
had the pleasure OF witnessing this
bout knows that Joe displayed cham
pionship form. He promises to re-
peat when he faces Dugan tonight
The semi-windup will afford local
followers another chance to witness
the greatest piece OF fighting ma
chinery ever developed in this state

Here's the Dope

CHICAGO, June 17-United
Press) Tho bumps on Demp-
seys head and these on the
dome OF Georges Carpenter in
dicate the big fight July ? Is go
ing to be a big surprise.
No less an authority than ].
M. Fitzgerald. character analyst
and psychologist, has stepped
right out and upset the dope.
Fitzgerald looked at the
photos OF the two contenders
and ventured these statements
after some thought;
IF the scrap goes six rounds.
Carpenter will either land a
knockout blow or fight Dempsey
to a draw.
IF il is a test OF ability the
champion will retain his belt; If
it lasts long enough to give play
to generalship. hurrah for
Georges"
This is what Fitzgerald read
in the pictures of Dempsey;
'Dempsey's low frontal devel-
opment Of the head indicates
lack Of benevolence and high
moral instinct. The bulge over
the eyes. the square jaw and the
thick lips show power of con-
centrating, instructive animal
tendencies"
All. but Georges:
"The Carpenter head, on the
other hand, is symmetrical. II
is one that would grace the pro-
fessions. / gather that he is
man OF finer social adaptability,
and that he is OF domestic tenn
perament. He POSSESSES all the
graces and arts attributed to the
French and with them the fight
ing instinct. Georges is an
anomolY.
Jack is a natural fighter. A
punch in the face arouses all
the animal instinct in him. The
same punch would stir Carpen-
tier to cunning reflection"
