Moran is just back from England
where he bined Joe BeckStt on the
chin In three rounds. Beckett is the
English champion who was whipped
in round by Georgss Carpenter. On
the strength of that victory the
Frenchman was picked to hght
Dempsey.
Moran was one of the pioneers In
the boxing game in France, going
there some years ago with the van
guard of the fistic trail blazers under
Dapper Dan McKetrick. The crowd
included Joe Jeanette, Willie Lewis
and several others. Moran fought
johnson twenty rounds in Paris which
were refereed by Carpenter. He had
seen the Frenchman in action many
times and has had the opportunity to
study his style carefully.
TRIED TO GET BOUT WITH CARP.
After whipping Beckett Moran tried
to get a bout with Carpenter. but the
Frenchman declined to meet anyone
before his bout with Dempsey, in
which stand he probably used excel

champion, but he can lick many a

IN BOUTS MONDAY
Tide Challenger Will Get a Line
On Prospective Future

NJ JACK vEIOCK
. N. q SNOr ting Editor.

MANHAsSET, l. l.. May U.s.
Georges Carpenter will celebrate
Decoration Day by getting a line on
a prospective future opponent
The French champion will be among
those at the ringside at Ebbets Field
Monday when Tommy Gibbons and his
brother. Mike. will be the star attrac-
lions.
Tommy Gibbons. who recently jump
ed into the heavyweight realm and
whose string OF Knockout victories re-
calls the rise of Dempsey. will show
his wares against Jack Clifford in a
fifteen rounder. Michael once known
a. the phantom" and who Is doing
a core back with a view to lifting
Johnny Wilson's middleweight crown,
will meet Soldier Bartfeld.
WOMEN WATCH FRENCHMAN.
Carpenter has never seen either of
the Gibbons boys in action and as he
never misses an opportunity to study
the American style he will be there
with bells on.
Today the French idol wound up his
hrst week OF training with a light
program. His schedule called for a
short jaunt on the highways about
Manhasset in the morning followed
by light boxing and gymnasium work
in the afternoon.
Georges third workout for the press
Friday afternoon was a mild affair
in which Italian Joe Cans played the
role of the prosecuted punching bag.
Carpenters audience included ladies
who stepped from expensive lmou-
sines and the Frenchman was at his
best when he entered the ring. a
striking contrast to Cans, who doesn't
claim to have anything on Adonis.
GEORGES Is CLEVER.
The workout was smooth and i'm
pressive, however, and Carpenter ex-
hibited some OF his, marvellous foot
work and cleverness in boxing with
Cans. Georges looks as though he
has shaken off the listlessness that
showed so plainly In his face when he
FIRST landed. He has some color in
his checks now and his eyes are as
bright as his smile is ready He
doesn't seem to be. worrying about a
thing in the world. either, which is

John Ball Wonder As
a Winning Golfer
In England

When Freddy Wright put old
John Ball, jr., out at Hoylake he
defeated a golfer who won the
British amateur title thirty-thrce
years ago. Ball, in reaching the
fifth round, must have been
laughing up his sleeve at Father
Time. ..s.
It was on. this same Hoylake
course in 1887 that Ball was run
ner-up for the title. He won it
the next year. Seven times after
that he won the British title. in
1890, 1892, 1894, 1899, 1907, 1910,
an 1912.
A lapse Of twenty-four years
between winning the title the
first time in 1883 and the last
time in 1912. 1t is little wonder
that English golfers have. such a
deep admiration for old John Ball.

He can feel a beating come on
him just like bunions can antici-

he went into a trance with his
fallen arches and announced that
there's nothing to 1t except a
stretcher for the Frenchman- He
expects to be personally at the
ringside to sympathize with Car
pentier.
Ace of Spades Is perfectly i'm
partial in his lop-sided attitude to-
ward the bad news which Is to be
cabled to Paris. He thinks most o:
the stories are already written. As
soon as Dempsey verifies them the
news boys will be turned loose on
the unsuspecting public who will
register surprise no matter how

Jeanette, taught Carpenter many
valuable lessons.
