NEW YORK, July 2s Georges
Carpenter ana Gene T,Anney enter.
tanned brave men and fair women
ct their county estates yesterday
with boxing and social chatter.
Both took good workouts ana win
taper OFF on the boxing end today.
Carpenter will do no boxing at all
today. He Is at the weight and
for the first time In his life has
had a little trouble making IT.
Carpenter and his trainer, Gus
Wilson, displayed q keen interest
IN Tunpey's weight. They had
been told that Gene scaled 1S2
pounds last Saturday. The official
report from Red Bank made Tun-
ney's weight 176 pounds.
II Tunney has to take off seven
pounds in THE last four days he
wont be- as strong as Georges. >

impresses me about Carpenter Il

able. He plays around here like q
boy. He Isn't worried about any
thing, he sleeps well and II fun Of
vitality.
AN good fighters are tempera-
menIal, continued Gus Wilson.
Georges Is very fussy about many
things. When his training sur.
roundings do not suit him. an out
let for his natural liking Tor good
company, he is very restless.
Down here Is Great Neck he IL
content. He has some fun with
his training. like to see him
that way"
There seems to be a very little
betting on Thursday nights scrap.
The fans seem divided into two
factions those VINO think Carpen-
tier incapable Of making q great
effort and who regard Tunney as
q sure winner and those who
do not believe either man meas
llres up to the task Of registering
d knockout.
According to Eddie Curley, this
Squire Of Red Bank, the betting
there Is 3 to on Tunney, with no
Carpenter money In sight. A few
wagers at 2 to were reported
along Broadway yesterday. Tun-
ney Is undoubtedly the faVorite
with the betting men, Carpenter
with the elite.
The probable length Of the bout
seems to be more Of q wagering
proposition than the identity Of the
winner. However, both men have
been backed to win by 2 knockout.

'In the ninth, however, he shot

There must be something to
that story, at that.
The writer remembers well the
night Sam Langford caught John
Lester johnson with q punch Of
that sort and when johnson fell

ing he had quit. johnson may
have been hurt just as Kansas
says he was.
Then again Joe Cans pulled that
trick on Boer Unholz in their
battle out West and stopped him
in the eleventh round.
It was while Cans was still
champion that Unholz tried to
grab the title and fought under q
plan that he had made up months
before.
He figured that by covering up,
q la Leach Cross, Jack Bernstein
and others, he could tire Cans
out and win late in the fight.
Cans did his best with the Boer
for eight or nine rounds, trying
to find q spot to hang 3 right.

tenth, as Unholz came out with

Unholz was never the same after
It. AS a matter Of fact he was
hurt so badly that when he tried
to straighten up he couldn't.
In the next round Cans knocked

TUNNEY' SSTY[E
Bellies HIS
RECORD
Doesn't Look Like a Winning
Boxer, But Gene Is Usually
the Victor
BY TAD.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-There are
a great many fight fans who insist
that Gene Tunney can't fight lick.
but q slant at Tunney's record
knocks their spiel dead.
Tunney doesn't look like q good
fighter when he's In the ring, but
the fact remains he usually wins.
Tunney wears a queer expression
impression that he Is hurt or about
you OFT and you get the idea that
he's losing, whereas he's winning
He's a good hitter. but not a
great one. He Is q good defensive
fighter, but not an aggressive one.
All the time he Is In there with the
worried look he Is Furnishing his
opponent and sooner or later the
other fellow starts to flop.
Tunney isn't the slashing type
that McGovern washes pIodder.
He goes about his work like an ex.
pert, taking his time and usually ac-
complishing what he goes after.
He doesn't look like q winner, but
usually H.
Carpenter, on the other hand, has
q much more impressive ring ap.
pearance. The Frenchman - d
flashy worker. He has q fast left
and a terrific right. He Is an
graceful as professional dancer,
takes his work easily, and makes
a tremendous hit with the crowd.
He has been beaten much oftener
than Tunney, but right now can at
tract more dollars at the gate than
the best OF those at his weight.
Tunney and Carpenter are exact
opposites. In the ring you win
notice it In the first minute Of the
bout. It's q hard bout to pick, this
Carpenter unney thing. Tunney
Is favorite because he has all the
advantages, but he's no cinch by
any means.
