Heredity has played it's part in
producing q new generation of box
ers in America, says Georges Car
penter, who comedies to the other
side of the Atlantic a vast super
iority in the fistic game.
In the last few years, Carpen-
tier admits, the old "unbeatables"
have disappeared, but to take their
places have come new men of iron,
themselves sons of fighters, who
are endowed above all with tre-
mendous ability to take unishment.
"That is all there is to ito
take punishment" Carpenter de-
clared, "and the Americans are the
greatest masters of that ability.
Hit them as hard as you can for
eight ten or fifteen rounds; your
arm will wear out and it affects

Frank Navin, Detroit Clubs Head
Dodges Queries on Cobb and Speaker

DDETROIT, Mich, Dec. 81 (AP)
Frank J. Havin, president of the
Detroit American league baseball
club, declined tonight to discuss
the charges brought against Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, and iris Speaker,
former managers of the Detroit
and Cleveland teams.
Commissioner Landis has the
entire matter in charge" he said.
Asked if Cobb's statement to
the effect that Dutch" Leonard,
former Detroit pitcher, had been
.paidj$2O.000 for information he had
gathered together, the Detroit
club owner replied:
II don't know, maybe they paid
him For the letters if they couldn't
get them any other way" .
Navin insisted that Leonard was
let out because his pitching arm
was bad. Cobb was responsible for
this move, he admitted, but said
that he and others had been con-
suited before Leonard was re-
leased. He did promise, however,
to say something when L have
gone into the matter more fully
Any question dealing directly up
on the charges brought against
Cobb and Speaker, he referred to
Commissioner Lands.
