Carpenter 5 to l
Favorite to Beat
Senegalese Boxer

PARIS, Sept 81 (By The Associated
Pressl.-A million-franc gate will be
received for the first time in the his
tory OF boxing in France, when Georges
Carpenter, the heavyweight champion
OF Europe, crawls through the ropes
at the new Buffalo Velodrome Sunday
afternoon to face the undefeated Sene-
galese, Battling" Sikh.
Although Carpenti"- .as not per
formed before his countrymen since
the fight with Dick Smith at the Cir
que, on July 10, 1919, and despite his
defeat by Jack Dempsey, his popularity
with the general public remains such
that all attendance and gate receipt
records are broken by the advance sale.
More than half million francs for
the reserved section has already been
turned IN, while unreserved seats for a
IKE amount are certain to be filled.
Forty thousand or more persons are
expected to fill the Buffalo arena.
All expect to see the French idol win
inside of six rounds. Only in the i'm
mediate surroundings of the Senega-
lese fighters training camp can any
confidence in his chances be found.
Carpenter himself has written the
promoters from his training quarters
at La Guerche that he is going to win
inside of three rounds Betting is
fve to one on Carpenter to win and
there is even money that Sikh does not
stay in six rounds.

rolled around Between the tenth and
fourteenth the men had slowed down
to a dead march. They grew wilder
and wilder and each wallop seemed TO
carry less steam than the one that
went before.
The last round was little faster
than those that proceeded 1t, but it
received tho same amount of booing
from the crowd. Both boys succeeded
in landing few wild swings, but they
were harmless
Easy Victory For Martin
The semi-hna between frankie
Jerome, of the Bronx. and Terry Mar
tin, of Providence, gave the crowd
something to yell about. They started
off at terrific clip. Martin is the
mussiest boy that Providence has
turned out in some years. The way no
tore into jerome in the second round
had the crowd crawling up the backs Of
their chairs. The fourth was another
whirlwind. and Jerome absorbed so
much punishment in thiy session that
he was in wabbly condition when the
bell rang. Martin is n miniature Harry
Greb. He is fast and can hit from all
angles.
In tho seventh frankie took one on
the chin that whirled him around like
top. He tripped over his own feet
and rolled across the ring, finally
coming up without tnkng count The
New Englnnder tore into Jerome then
with the evident belief that he could
finish him. but frankie managed to
weather the gale through clever foot
work.
Jerome could never seem to fnthom
Martins style of fighting and most Of
his blows went wild Terry was work
ing last night with both hands and
seemed to be as good with one as with
the other. He had tho better Of prac-
tically every round oXcept the first. He
brought n mob Of wildly enthusiastic
fans from Providence with him and
they made noise enough TO be heard a
block away.

New-York tribune., 1922-09-22

Wolfe was given the judges decision
and both were handed the first hot
house rawsberries by disappointed
and disgruntled crowd. 1t was the
fifth meeting Of this pair, and it is to
be hoped that it Is the last In this
vicinity. Wolfe was the aggressor in
majority of the rounds, and IL was
probably this that earned him the edge
in the eyes of the judges
Lynch was wild and ineffective. Here
and there he showed haahes OF his real
form, but they were only short spasms
and they never lasted long enough to
give the crowd II thrill. Both landed
some hard drives to the jaw during the
tedious journey, but neither was ever
in what could be called real trouble.
On several occasions Wolfe shoo5
Lynch to his heels with heavy smashes
to the chin, and these hurt the bantam
weight king and generally resulted in
eliciting burst Of speed. Lynch land
ed his right flush to Wolfes Jaw a
number of times, but 1T only brought
cracked smile to the grizsIed mug of
the Clevelnnder and caused him to bore
in for more.
Lynch Gets Real Welcome
Lynch received a great hand as he
popped through the ropes Wolfe, his
Cleveland opponent, was hardly given
tumble by the crowd. He came in
wearing bathrobe and thirteen towels
wrapped around his head. The weighta
were Lynch, 1l6; Wolfe, 122.
They started 80 tamely that the
crowd soon began to hand out the first
wild raspberries of the indoor season.
There wns no action until vke third
round, when Wolfe accidentally slapped
Joe on the chin with considerable force
and made the champion peevish. Lynch
tore into the Clevelander and raked
him with hard slams to the face and
body. They went or mixing it after
the bell and Referee Patsy Haley had
to tear them apart. In the fourth
Wolfe did a little walloping on his own
account and landed several haru right
hand wallops to the bantamwcight
champions chin.
Jack drilled home some more hard
swipes in the fifth and one of these
opened a cash in Joes lip, In the sixth
ard seventh Lynch tried to put over his
favorite sleep-producing wallop, but he
could never connect with it squnrely
When it did land the numbering Wolfe
was going away and it hardly shook
him up.
The milling was slow and. tedious
until the ninth when both shot over
some hard drives that found their
mark. One of these sent Joe Lynch
reeling to the ropes. A second later
he hooked Jack on the chin and the
latter went to his knees, but was up
without taking a count.
In the tenth Wolfe staggered Lynch
with hard shots to the face and for 4
moment it looked MS though Joe was
on his way. He recovered, however,
and was trading punches with the
Cleveland lad at the bell. There was
a lot Of boong and kissing after every
round and the uproar was so prolonged
after the tenth that Patsy Haley, the
referee, made rather caustic speech
in which he told the crowd that If he
didn't think the two fighters were
doing their best he would put both
of them out of the ring.
This was greeted with: "Go on,
throw 'em OUT
Haley tried to add postscript to his
address, but the crowd wouldn't stand
for it.
Most of the crowd was on its way to
the air by the time the fourteenth

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 81 BY The
Associated Press). The defeat of
Henry Direct, strong favorite in the
Southern Hotel $4,000 stake for 2:11
PAGERS, featured to-day's Grand Circuit
races here. Able Dale, of the Cox
Stable, was too much for the Western

first heat, going to the three quarters
in 1880, but being nosed out at the
finish by Able Dale in 2:O1A.
The first three heats of the 2:15
trot produced as many winners, Fin
varra whining the first, Binque the sec
ond and Alta Quest, a second choice,
taking the third and fourth.
The Horse Review Futurity had only
three starters, Tommy Murphy win
ming his first event of the week when
he piloted Peter Etawah to a straight
heat victory, Ophelia V. finishing sec

Peck Direct, recently purchased at
auction for S160 by Earl Clark, Of this
city, more than made for his new

GOOD NEWS

He fact that the state road commission is

will be cheering to many drivers who have to
negotiate them. and also glad things To the pedes-
