a lot of ''f told you sos' in connec. tion with this coming affair between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpen tier
 Battling Levinsky is one man of the many noted fighters who thinks Carpenter will win.
 Levinsky has met both Carpentiel and Dempsey, and lost to both of them. He has felt the weight of both of their fists. He better than anyone else should be good judge. He says:
 "Carpentier is a much harder hit ter than Dempsey. have met all sorts of fighters, including Carpen tier, Dempsey and all the rest. But not one of the lot ever hit me so hard as Carpenter
 Still another who thinks Carpen- tier will make a good showing is Bill Bradbury, who was Chicago's champion boxer more than 40 years ago.
 That Bill is a good judge was proved just before the DempseyWil lard fight. A month before that bat tie Bradburn wrote:
 ''FOr your sole edification and ben eft, want to say to you that in this coming scrap I don't give Will lard possible chance. I would not be surprised if Dempsey turned the trick in the first round. and under no consideration can I see him last to the end of the sixth round.
 'I have been watching fights and fighters, more or less, as you know, for the last 40 years, and I want to say to you that Dempsey is fighter of the kind that comes along only once in lifetime. was in Mil waukee on the occasion when Demp. sey knocked out Bill Brennan.
 Not going into the details of that fight, will only say that Dempsey has everything that you could wish for He reminds me of John L. Sul- livan.
 '1 don't mean the John l.. that Jim Corbett beat in New Orleans at the age of 34 years, and who to my knowledge was under the influence for over 10 years, mean the Sulli- van as l knew him at the age of P or 23, and at that time at the age he could have beaten anything that thought they could fight Dempsey of 1919 is another John l.. Sullivan of 1S83"
 Size Does Not Count
 But now Bradburn is singing q different song.
 Size never did cut much ice in fight" says Bill. referring to Demp- sey's superior weight and size over Carpenter.
 ''It's often speed and activity in the ring that counts. have seen both Carpenter and Dempsey box.
 And while I admit that Demp sey is wonderful fighter, l believe that Carpenter is much faster and more skillful boxer than his OppOn- ent.
 'In weight and brute force Demp- sey is admittedly the better, but in speed of arm and limb, active brain and quicker eye Carpenter looks to me the better. =.
 Its the man who can jab and keep out of the way that often wins the battle for the smaller man in a fight for the worlds championship.
 It was while Dempsey was boxing Brennan that Bradburn sized Jack up and noticed that he was built and had the same loose-jointed, heavy hitting way that Sullivan had when the latter was at his best.
 Making up his mind that Dempsey was another Sullivan, Bradburn went to Toledo and bet lot of money on Jack to beat Willard. Besides that. Bradburn told, ali the members of the family to put their checks down on Dempsey, and they won barrel of money on that fight.
 It must be admitted, however. that nearly all the Chicago experts tout Dempsey to win in jiffy.
 The best of the experts here put 1t down as a certain. sure cakewaik for the Frenchman. They do not give him an outside chance.
 In Chicago hundreds are willing tn bet 3 and 4 to 1 on Dempsey, but they find few ready to accept the Carpenter end at any old odds.
 There is one man in Chicago who has a very large roll that he is willing to place on Dempsey at al most any price, but finds no one on the other side willing to accept the other end of the proposition.
 Dempsey Gains Honors
 A great many think that Dempsey should beat Carpenter easily, and they base their belief entirely on the wonderful beating Dempsey gave Willard at Toledo.
 AS a matter of fact, Dempsey reputation as fighter and the title of champion really came when he scored over Willard.
 But if you were to look over that proposition carefully you would no' be carried away with the impressive ness of it.
 Willard never did an honest days training for his fight with Dempsey A.. =
