GONE, SAILS
Break With Jack CurIey Seen
As Reason for French
mans Departure
By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Georges
Carpenter is shaking the dust Of
America from his French heels
but not the American gold dust
from his pockets today as he sails
for England on the Berengaria,
accompanied by his manager, Fran
co.'s Descamps, and his. trainer,
Gus Wilson.
The departure of the Orchid
man creates hardly a ripple in the
current of passing events. He
landed in New York last May
with grandstand flourish, but no
pomp or ceremony attends his
departure.
The gorgeous one Is bidding
America a long farewell this time.
He may never return and in any
event he will not come back as
fighter, for his box office value
has sunk far below the price he
puts on his services.
Carpenter came, saw, was con-
quered twice, and is sailing back
to that dear France with close to
500, 900 to exchange into francs
as a result Of his defeats this
summer by Tom Gibbons and Gene
Tunney.
Probably the principal reason for
Carpenters decision to surrender
to Inconsistencies was his break with
Jack Curley, who has long been
his American representative and
who made it possible for him to
collect a fortune for a little more
than an hours work in two Amer
lean rings.
Curley may have real cause for
his grievance. 1t is said he re-
ceived only $1,000 for his efforts
in promoting the Gibbons fight and
not much more than that for the
Tunney engagement.
Whatever he got did little more
than pay the expenses Of promo
ton.
When other matches were sug
gested Descamps refused to lower
Carpenter price, and this is be
lieved to have brought about thl
break with Curley.
Including his bouts with Battling
Levinsky in 1920, with Dempsey
the following year and his two
| fights here this year, the Orchit
man has been paid close to half &
million dollars for his American ap
pearances. He now is independently
wealthy and probably will retire
from the ring.

CAREER
Tied With William A. Larned
In Winning Five consecu-

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Tennis
followers were agreed today that
William T. Tilden, End, of Philadel-
phia, who last evening won his
fifth consecutive tennis singles

stronger or more scientific game
than when he won the final round
from William NJ. Johnston at the
West Side Tennis Club.
Tilden now is tied with William
A. Larned, who years ago won
five consecutive national titles. and
is one shy of the record made by
Richard Sears.

DENCIO MEETS
LITTLE JEFF
IN BIC BOUT
Capacity Crowd Is Expected
At Barracks Tomorrow
Night

Young Dencio. the midget Filipino,
and Little Jeff, Of Baltimore, are
the feature performers in the big
flyweight ring show at the Wash
ington Barracks tomorrow night.
They are booked to travel at top
speed for ten rounds and Washing
ton ring fans are expected to pack
the barracks to see them in action.
Dencio has generally been success
full in all his battles in this section.
His speed and willingness pleases
the fans. He will find himself op-
posing a tough little fellow, how
ever, in the Baltimorean. Little
jeff is a veteran of the squared
circle, but retains all his speed and
punching power. He is a harder
hitter than Dencio and this may
give him an edge over the smiling
lad from across the Pacific.
Jack Cafoni, Walter Reeds
promising flyweight, will be seen
in the six-round semi-final, battling
Eddie Leonard, of Baltimore. These
boys like to mix things and should
please the ringworms.
Two preliminaries Of six rounds
will complete the snappy card ar
ranged by frankie Mann under the
auspices OF the Enlisted Mems
Club. Kid Wagner, Of Baltimore,
and Jimmy Gardener, Of Washing
ton, will open the show. Midget
Carbon, Of Fort Myer, and frankie
Neill, Of Baltimore, appear in the
second tilt OF the evening.
A band concert, starting at Z
o'clock, will open the entertainment,
continuing until $50, when the
boxing will get under way.
Colonel Ericsson, OF the Washing
ton Barracks, will act as referee Of
the bouts.
