ENGLISH EXCITED
OYER COMING BOUT
Managers of Carpenter and
Lewis Quibblc Over 'Shock Alb
sOrbers' and Referee.

LONDON. May 8 (Associated Press)-
The fight between Georges Carpenter
and Ted kid" Lewis in the Black
friars road arena next Thursday cve-
ming Is exciting such great interest that
the managers of the project have been
compelled to largely increase the scat
ing accommodations.
There has been considerable quib-
bling between the managers OF the
fighters. but all the difficulties have now
been satisfactorily overcome. Lewis had
been accused of being desirous to wear
"shock absorber," in the nature of a
rubber tooth protector. This he has
shown to the people Of the Carpenter
camp and Carpenter. finding that It was
not so formidable an affair as had been
rumored has Withdrawn his objection
to 1t. The withdrawal, however. carries
with 1t the provlso that the protector to
be worn the night of the fight must be
shown him in the ring before the bout.
Another difficulty was the question
0f a referee. The boxers and the pro-
oters finally agreed that the editor of
sporting paper should appoint the
arbiter, and he has nominated j. Pal
mer. 1t had been reported that Jack
Dempsey, who will witness the battle,
would referee, but this proved untrue.
There still is some mystery about the
weights of both men. Francois Des-
camps claims that Carpenter tips the
scales at 165 pounds. but there fs a
tendency In sporting circles to believe
that the light heavyweight champion
will raise the beam around 1853 ponnds.
It Is expected that Lewis will weigh In
somewhere about 154 pounds.

AMERICAS TENNIS
STOCK TAKES RISE
w. M. Johnston Proves He Is
Back as International
Title Contender.

Americas tennis stock has taken a
decided rise as the result of William M.
Johnston's showing In the East-Wesr
matches on the coast. A straight set
victory over Vincent Richards. followed
by a triumph over William T. Tilden.
worlds champion, offers proof conclu-
sive that the California star and former
national titles holder has returned to
form, that he is again national and
International title contender. If for
no other reason than that they have
given tennis officials line on john
ston's possibilities for the season. the
East-West matches have been decidedly
worth while
Ever since the close OF the 1921 cam
paign there has been considerable doubt
regarding the chances of Johnston being
a leading tennis figure this year. When
he returned to the coast last September
Johnston, worn down as the result of an
attack of ptomaine poisoning, told sorne
of his friends that unless he was able
to accumulate some additional weight in
the interim and get stronger physically
he would not, make ,rrp to the East IN
1929. In midwinter came the news from
the coast that Johnston had been i'll
with inf1enza and the fears Of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
officials began to increase. Were the
Davis Cup holders to be deprived of
Johnston's services in the challenge
round this year?
One More Bid for Cup.
A few weeks ago we heard unofficially
that Johnston was competing in coast
tournaments again and, showing flashes
of his best. but there was no definite
news of his condition until Tilden and
Richards arrived in California for the
intersectional event. And now 1t Is ap-
parent that Johnston Is himself again.
and being himself 1t is almost a cer-
tainty that he will be seen in the East
this summer, for Little Bill hasn't for
gotten that he holds two legs on the
American championship cup, and that
Big Bill Tilden also holds two. and that
unless he comes East to make another
bid for the trophy he may never have
another chance. Tilden being favored
to win in his absence. Three legs give
permanent possession and in the event
Of another Tilden victory the cup would
be the Philadelphian's, to have and to
hold.
When the time comes Johnston also
will find the desire to compete again in
an international event too overpowering
to resist. 1t was he who assisted Tilden
in bringing the Davis cup back from
Australia. and it was he who did his
part in defending 1t ysar ago. From
the present look of things 1t will be he
again who will take a leading role in the
cup defense Of 1922.
Tilden and Richards. when they left
the East about twelve days ago to COM
pete in the intersectional matches, were
both playing top notch tennis. They
had competed in indoor tournaments,
and Richards, by his defeat of R. Lindley
Murray and Tilden In the Middle States
indoor championships. indicated that he
had recovered completely from the severe
illness that confined him 20 bed for
nearly three weeks. Johnston's success,
therefore. cannot be attributed to any
lack of condition on the part Of either OF
his opponents.

If Georges Carpenter wins from
y Lewis next Thursday a Dempsey Car
pentier bout will be staged here in the
autumn. This was the greeting which
Manager Jack Kearns had for Demp-
sey when the champion arrived to-
night from Paris. Dempsey is full of
enthusiasm over the proposed match.
says that he is anxious to appear in
a London ring and does not care who
his opponent is. Also he is confident
that he will settle any question that
has arisen over the New Jersey affair.
Kearns is optimistic as the result of
visit to Carpenter at his training
quarters at Maidenhead. He told THE
New YORK HERALD correspondent that
Carpenter looks ten pounds heavier
than he did for the New Jersey fight,
and therefore seems much more able
to give Dempsey hard fight. He says
that Carpenter told him it is the am
--bition of his life to meet Dempsey
again. He had a long, friendly chat
with Georges, who said that when he
fought in New Jersey he was suffer-
ing from the heat, had not yet ac-
climated himself was bothered by the
large gloves and small ring and was
overanxious.
He added that he bellows he could
vindicate himself here under condi-
tions with which he is familiar and
that the English climate suits him
better. Kearns said that he had prom
ised to do his utmost to arrange a
match.
Kearns believes that return match
between Dempsey and Carpenter would
draw almost as we'll Here as In New
Jersey. because the British are, so keen
to see Dempsey in action. He ap-
preached sporting leaders with idea Of
bringing Wills over here. but they said
that Wills would never be acceptable to
the English public.
While nothing has been signed or ar
ranged for the Dempsey-Carpentier bout
except that it will go to the highest
bidder Kearns believes that definite ar
rangements will have been made before
he sails because Carpenter is the only
man in Europe capable of meeting
Dempsey
Meanwhile the press, while welcoming
Dempsey back to England says that a
Dempsey-Carpentier bout is out of the
question here. Kearns says this does
not reflect the true attitude of the sport
loving public. that the promoters are
beginning to talk real money and that
ne and Dempsey have every expecta-
ton that the bout will be staged

Chicago Fire Horses
 All Gone by Dec. 15

Chicago.-The old fire horse will be only memory here after December l5s according to John F. Cullerton, bust : ness manager of the fire department. He expects the department will be completely motorized by then.
 Fifteen engine stations are now in the process of changing 10 motors. The department will then have boats. 10 sguad companies 37 hook and ladder companies, and l37 engine companies d total of l79--all without horse as motive power.
