Georges Confident
as Time Nedrs for
Scrap With LelUis
BY GEORGES CARPENTIER.

CARPENTERS TRAINING CAMP,
MAIDENHEAD, England. May 4.-"Le
grand vaut lie petit tout lie temps" In
plain English that means. Good big man
is better than good little man every time"
That is what they said when l fought
Jack Dempsey at Jersey City last sum-
mer. and now 1t is true of my fight with
Ted kid Lewis one week from tonight.
I expect a good deal of support
will go to Lewis owing to his disad-
vantage in weight. But that Is human
nature all the time. l know that l am
as quick as Lewis and that | am fully
as fast Granting that his ringcraft Is
equal to mine, the whole thing resolves
itself into the question: Can ne over
come the disadvantage in weight? a
l am confident of success. | expect to
demonstrate to the sporting world that |
am as fit now as | ever was. although |
weigh less than formerly. l am confident
that my showing against Lewis will dem
onstrate that l am capable of putting up
good fight in the event | am matched
TO fight Dempsey again. If | win next
week l will have to fight Marcel Miles
and then probably Joe Beckett If he sur
wives his next contest. And after that
who can say what will happen-per-
hars 1t will be Dempsey again. l am
ready for him.
In conclusion, if Lewis beats me it is
the finish.

Jim Yorke Can Pitch, but
Can Not Field Position

Ina bility to field hunts is a handicap
Tim Yorke must overcome If he ever ex-
poets to shine as a big Lacquer.
Yorke, who went TO Los Angeles from
the Chicago Cubs as part pay ment for
Outfielder Arnold STATE. has plenty OF
stuff, but lacks experience.
Yorke's greatest trouble last year was
his fielding rather than pitching. A big
husky fellow, he found it difficult to field
hunts. Opposing teams soon discovered
his weakness and made 1t S uncomfort-
able as possible for him.
The Cubs no doubt retain string on
Yorke. 1t is believed a season or two in
the minors will overcome his weakness.
If he learns to handle hunts he is sure
OF a major league berth.
