navy of this country in the recent World War. It is a notorious fact that Dempsey showed himself to be a big bum in that war when he lodged the draft, and unless I mistake, France was in distress and had been fighting for months before Carpenter joined the colors of his country. After he. did get into a uniform, it is alleged he did good service, but my mind goes back to the early days of the war, when he was engaged in fighting, as a prizefighter for money.
 Slap At Fight Fans

 lighters overwhelmed members of the last Congress with their letters of protest against paying a mere pit tance of a soldiers bonus to real champions. It would not have cost these men individually $50 to have helped meet the cost of a soldiers bonus bill, but they are willing to pay that much and more because of travel and hotel expenses, etc, to see these men gather in about S1,000,00O pum- meling one another I am for the soldier boy, and until this bonus bill is passed think that the Wall Street broker, and the steel magnate from Pittsburgh and the Chicago banker who helped defeat the soldiers bonus bill in the last Congress, should be deprived of what they consider the greatest pleasure of their lives.
 'I shall certainly press for the pas sage of my resolution It is unneces- sary for me to state that I have been intensely active in athletics, inciud- ing boxing, all my life, and that do attend genuine boxing matches when ever get an opportunity.

Hints the Sport Writers

The Editor and Publisher prints the following:
 E@Ehe sports writers have great CT 1eeWay as regards what they than any other class of staff con- tributors. Anything and every thing gOeS-newS, personal eN- pioitatiOn and advertising of the most pronounced character can be found in the matter they turn fn- Because of the freedom they have in publishing what they like, their acquaintance and support is sought by promoters of prize fights, baseball games and ath- IetiC cyGEtS at which an SdmiS- sion fee is charged.
 Recently a report was current that the sporting editors of a number of New York morning and evening newspapers are on the regular payroll of one of the best known prize fight promoters in the country. No proof in sup port e the rumor has been forth coming, and the probabilities are that it has no basis whatever. But vvhe none reads in the sport week that tickets may be pJIr- chased at a certain place: that there is no truth in the rIunOr that all the best seats have been sold: that after the promoter had attended a luncheon with one of the principals in q forthcoming bout he hustled back to Madison Square Garden to supervise the sale of tickets. the average reader gets the idea that the writer of that column must be in the eTn- pIoy of someone else besides the newspaper on which he works.
 ''It strikes us that there is alto cethcr too much advertising puff fiery allowed in the sporting col un,ns of most daily newspapers. The place for all sIIch matter is the advertising columns at so much an agate lino.''

CORBETT WATCHES

By JAMES J. CGRBETT, FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
Copyright by L N. S.)

Manhasset, N. Y. June II - Georges is expecting you, MT. Cor bett; come right in. You'H find him | over there in Ehe yard" With this pleasant greeting from | Trainer Gus Wilson. I invaded Car l pentier's training camp Friday and
 watched him box in private for the 1 first time.
 I found the French champion Io1l- 1 ing on the lawn in front of his cozy quarters with Joe Jeanette, Paul sat down and talked with them for | a time as the hour for training had not arrived.
 Georges sparing partners, with me, for they had been told I was coming. Jeanette was not wise to it and he did not recognize me with a pair of heavy trimmed glasses on- Don't quite make me, eh. Joe ?" asked Maybe you'll remember who was the champion croquet player of Harlem at one time? Does that tip you off?''
 Joe sat and looked hard but Car pentier could wait no longer.
 "Oh, Joe" he said. you should know Jim Corbett, yes?"
 And the laugh was on Joe.
 Cort1ctt Is Impressed.
 Carpenfier told me of his training routine and later went through his regular program, just as he does in private I was very much impressed 
 because, first of all, Georges is a fellow who hates to work in public. know how he feels about it. If I was working in France for a fight like that of July 2, l would feel the same way.
 When o'clock arrived Georges skipped ninbIy into the house and got into his working togs. He came out dressed in ring attire and a long bath robe and we all walked back to the barn. There he took off his robe and I saw him stripped for action for the first time I was agree ably surprised at everything saw
 Georges is built like the ideal ath- iete, his shoulders, arm and leg de- velopment is wonderful. He is not a Hercules. Instead he is built like a fine thoroughbred horse. He is nothing like Dempsey, who is bigger and more rugged. This fellow Car pentier is built for speed and believe me, he has it.
 Georges punched the bag. skipped the rope, worked on the pulleys, eiq1ssed the heavy bag, went through gynfnasstic stunts and boxed with Journee, Jeannette and Cans. He went after his work with a good will and worked Up a precipitation that made his skin glow.
 Easy on Trainers.
 Of course I know that a, man can't ] always cut loose and hurt his sparring partners. He wouldn't have them l long if he did. And Georges did not | knock anybody out or down. But he | me a word Of speed, a good l head and as fast 9 right hand as I | have ever seen in the heavyweight

Bogash Money Is Scarce Or
 Bartfield Go

Are Lou Bogash's friends getting a
 bit shy in placing their mazuma on
 the local boxer to defeat Soldier
 Bartfield in their coming fifteen round bout at the State street arena, Mon day night, June 20? That's what Barney Kelly, one of Bartfield's ad- vance agents, was asking around flown last night after his failure to place any part of $500 he had brought here ready to wager at odds of to l that Bogash wouldn't last the limit Kelly spent about three hours around various haunts of local sports in an effort to place the money, but he was obliged to return to the me tropolis with his 600 bucks intact
 ''I was under the impression Bridge port sports were ready to back their favorite son to the limit, but I could not place a single dollar. I heard a lot of 'harping' among some of them that BogaSh and his manager, Joe Smith, are counting on a sure win against Bartfield- If they still enter tain this belief they will have the privilege of backing up their whims with cash, for I will be back Monday and can be found at the Stratfield be tween 8 and D. n-, ready to produce my cash. I am willing to have any hold the money, Connie Lewis or F'rit Musante, for instance. They will suit me-
 Joe Smith Speaks Back.
 Joe Smith, when apprised of Kelly''s visit with his cash, declared he is to talk business with him and is willing to wager a substantial sum that BoSaSh will lick the New Yorker Kelly would never have returned to New York without betting that $500 if had seen him. declared Joe with a fiery gleam in his eye ''Pd like to know where he gets off in offering to that Bartfield will win before the limit ?'' added Joe.
 That BO%aSh-Delaney Go.
 The item in last nights Times stat ing that Louis Bogash would not has brought Al Jennings to his feet Delaney'S, manager sends the follow Ing letter in which he states Delaney is also favora[bly disposed toward a bout. The letter follows:
 According to yesterdays Times Louie Bogash made a statement that | he would go out of his class to | face Jack Delaney, so here goes to | Bogash and Delaney together. Bogash ] don't have to go out of his class for | according to his weights in the Wal | ter Laurette and Jim Montgomery contests he is a genuine middle so the difference be- eween Delaney and Bogash would be | ounces not pounds.
 ."The International Boxing Rules which are recognized the world over, state the nidd1eweight limit is 16O pounds eight hours before contest akes place. Well, Delaney can make hat weight and you can rest assured hat no boxing contest put on in the sity of Bridgeport would draw a anger crowd of fight fans. I also wish to state that Bogash and his ollowers can get all the money they an scrape together, covered on the rItcome of that contest
 Delaney is to box either Jackie Clark or Johnnie Howard on June l s tt the Queensboro Sporting Club of Long Island City. So hope BogaSh wins from Bartf1eld on June 20. In ase he loses Delaney is willing to ,ox Bartfield or any other middle weight, bar none.
 Al Jen1nnss, Mgr. of Delaney"

 I was especially impressed with the way he used his right and the man ner in which he worked up to 1t, Adding around and never giving a sign in advance that would tip you off when you might expect him to let it fly.
 Carpenter is not the type of the boxer that I was. I understood his style thoroughly but it is entirely diff ferent from the style I used In fact Carp is more aggressive than l was When he cuts loose he is Quicf, snappy and a good siugger. Of course he did no defensive work while I was there because he was working aggressiveiy to get rough exencise and did not try to rest himself He never stopped going for at last 40 solid minutes except to mop off his forehead. In boxing with Journee and Jeannette he worked like a Trojan and when he slugged he did so with very good judgment.

Legion to Blame.

Ga1hvan's action finds the support of the big majority of American Legion men and members of other veterans organizations in Brid dgeport and elsewhere. A prominent mem Der of the American Legion stated his opinion in no uncertain tones on the big fight today. when he declared: ::
 The American Legion made a shameful mistake when it took no concerted action to have this fellow Dempsey, who has been stamped as a 'slacker,' barred from taking part in the fight I am disgusted with the Legion leaders and cannot under stand their Spirtless action in the matter. l count myself as good an American as anyone, having went through some of the hardest fighting in Europe, while this prize fighting guy was laying around home and en- toying life away from danger when he should have been over there doing his bit instead of being a shirker, and want to Say-I always stick up for Americans and want to see them win in sports as well as be on the top in everything they undertake but I hope Carpenter will give this guy Dempsey a d--d good Iicking.''
 Settle Bonus First.
 Settle the bonus before the fight is GaHfvan's plea to his fellow Con gresSnen- The Gallivan measure states that millions of Americans have been waiting for action by Congress to solve the question of ad- justed compensation and that the millions of dollars that the cham pionshfp fight will cost the American public could be devoted to this pur- pose Ga4llivan in support of his resolution said:
