Gibbons Must Stop Carpenter
Early To Again Battle Champ
CARP DECLARED
DONE AS RING MAN
Gibbons Still Hopes to Get AM
other Crack At Dempsey
After Coming Fight
Bv JOE WILLIAMS

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, May 26.
1t does not require a considerable
amount of prophetic courage to
step out and name Tommy Glib
bons as the winner over Georges
Carpenter in the 10-round fight
to be held here May 81.
For all the fine form he has
shown in training and the added
weight he carries, the Frenchman
is through. He was on the down
grade when he met Jack Dempsey
in 1921 and his subsequent
knockout at the savage hands of
Sikh late the following year offer
ed further proof of his complete
decline.
Sikh hasn't won a fight since and
any number of American clowns
have beaten him severely during
the past six months. The dope is
not complimentary to the French
mans ability and offers nothing to
indicate that he will be particularly
formidable against any frst-calss
fighting nan.
1t may be presumed that Glib
bons IS still a first-class fighting
man, though the stand he made
against the hard-hitting Dempsey
through fifteen long rounds out
on the Montana plains last sum
mer undoubtedly took a lot out Of
him.
Gibbons still hopes to get an
other crack at Dempsey, and he
hopes to get it by beating Carpen-
tier. But Gibbons will have to do
more than merely beat him: he
will have to knock him out and
do 1t with a spectacular flourish.
Dempsey stopped Carpenter in
Tour rounds. Gibbons, to re-
awaken interest in another bout
with the champion, must register
knockout in three rounds at the
latest. In short, he must do bet
ter than Dempsey did.
This will give the promoters
fresh material to use in "smok-
ing up" another Gibbons-Dempsev
fight. The turnstile fish will not
stop to consider that any one of
several other light heavyweights,
not excluding Young Stri6ling,
might have done the same thing.
Gibbons, talking over his plans
with the writer, promised to make
an aggressive fight from the start.
II he keeps his word this viii be a
thrilling duel Of fists while it lasts
and 1t won't last long.
Carpenter always carries the
tight to his opponent. Ignoring
all counsel to the contrary he car-
ried the fight to Dempsey, a biz
ger, heavier and more dangerous
hitter than Gibbons, and at STAGE

TRIES TO BLOCK PAY

$4,000 Appropriation, However,
Sustained by House.

Declaring that George H. Carter.
the public printer, has not complied
with the statutes of our country in
the requirements as to his qualifica-
tions." Representative Stengle. DEM
ocrat, Of New York. made an un-
successful effort yesterday to pre-
vent the payment of the public print
er's salary when the Legislative ap-
preparation bill was under considera-
\ ton in the House. He offered a pro-
viso that no part of this sum t$6,-
O00) shall be paid to any individual
tificate that he is a practical printer,
with knowledge of the art Of book
binding"
Representative Dickinson of Iowa
made point Of order that this was
not a proper restriction on an appro-
priation bill, which was sustained.
Recalls Speech of Carter.
Representative Stengle recalled that:
"A few days ago this same gentleman
undertook at Atlantic City to portray
to the universe that one of the lead
ing bureaus of our government was
infested by crooks and gamblers and
by men and women of questionable
character"
Arguing that Public Printer Carter
is not a practical printer, as required
by law, Representative Stengle re-
minded the House that in January he
. had directed the attention of the
President to the fact that the law
was being violated, and that more
than a month later he received a copy
of the opinion of the Department of
Justice, to whom the President had
referred his letter
Ruling Of Department.
1.-THE opinion rendered by the De-
partment of Justice was like this.
said Representative Stengle:
ut must be presumed that the late
President Harding. having been en-
gagged in the printing business.
ought to know a practical printer
when he saw one. 1t must further
be presumed that because this gem
tleman served as clerk to the Senate
committee on printing the Senate
ought to be presumed to be able 10
discover whether or not he is prac-
ticla printer, with a knowledge Of
the art of bookbinding."
Representative Stengle said that in
view of the fact that 1T has been
determined by a competent commit
tee OF another branch of Congress
that the Department of Justice has
not been functioning in accordance
with law or custom or common de-
cency, / refuse to accept the opinion
of that department. the result of
