What method of administer ing the anesthetic either Carp or Demp is planning to use re- mains to be saw But there is any number of wallops they cculd bring into use if they so desired. For instants, there is the rabbit punch. Jessie Willard ST oke of the rabbit punch at length before his bout with Dempsey in Toledo two wears ago. Jessie said if all others failed he would use the rabbit punch. He missed using it by a hare, though, for Jessie had the floor long before he had ever ex- pected to. To hit the rabbit punch you catch a guy on the back of the neck. If he hits right, when a inventory is held, several brain cells Is liable to be unaccounted for. l don't think either Carp or Jack will use the rabbit punch, though, for they have thought of something Jes- sic overlooked. In a champeen fight one never sees a opponent backing into one. And. unless a opponent has throwed himself in reverse and is backing into you. how and the Helen Tom Walker are you going to hit him in the back of the neck? I don't look for either Georges or Jacques to use this Larnx Larrup. And, the rabies punch is just about as bad as the rabbit punch. and possibly unsportsmanlike In the rabbit punch you hit a feller where the back collar button is supposed to park. In the rabies punch you bite him, and he later has to go to the pasture for treatment. Neither Carp or Demp will use the latter form of torture in the coming bout, for Jacks teeth ain't what they used to be, and Carp can't bite into nothing un- less his chef has prepared it and stamped his monogram on it.
 While speaking of punches. it might be mentioned and prob ably will be right now, that it has been said that Carpentier has bad fault of telegraphing his punches. I would say this is a bad fault. The proper course for Georges, and the safer course would of been for him not to telegraph 'em, but to of remained in Paris and cab1ed 'em. The original cost would of been more, but it would of been cheaper in the long run. Com ing over here to telegraph his lI
 a big doctors bill that will pile up on him, when he could of ca bled 'em and escaped getting into the hands of some guy what has the abbreviation for Mary land stuck after his monicker. No matter what code you might use in telegraphing your punches opponent can decipher 'em right off the reel. Any code you use will find you using the R. E. Morse code at the wind-up. merely mention this as a warn ing to Carpenter If he should win the championship would be among the first back here to say T told you so," and I would be tickled to see him knock Demp for a row of monuments, but I never will believe man as frail as he is can sing Rock a-bye Baby" to a feller as rug ged as Dempsey and get any thing like telling results out of it. But that's merely my opin- ion, and as my friend, Admiral Sims, would say, it takes opin- ions to make the world go round.
 Another good punch is the one two punch I was speaking of this before my good friend, Bill Streit, yesterday, and Bill. who is alters looking for odds, says: One to what?" No doubt he thought I was wanting to place one to two bet on Carpenter.
 Then there is the right cross. the left cross and the Leach Cross--to say nothing about the double-cross. Of all the crosses which boxers has had to bear the prize ring the double cross is probably the most painful and has been used the most. To use the double-cross I will give you a illustration. If a opponent says 10 fr1en0 roe: we will stall around for five rounds to give the picture men a chance" and friend foe says: T am Jake" and then the man what makes the original proposition catches friend foe with his guard down in the first, and carves his ini- tials on his chin for a knockout that's the double-cross. It has been used more times than the Atlantic ocean.
 A uppercut is just about as painful as upper berth. 'rhe difference is that you can easily go to sleep on upper cut. That's another blow a feller has to watch out for in prize fight. If one nnce 1ets one.s chin In tha
