He proved it last night through
10 rounds of synthetic fighting.
At the end they called It a draw,
which was quite all right with me.
It may have been a good draw but
II was bad fight.
Yet, the come-ons seemed to enjoy
what they saw and just to prove
that he still has the boys badly
kidded, at least so per cent of the
house was with Carpenter. Every
time he lifted his right, they broke
into wild cheers and missed punch
almost provoked a riot. Apparently
America enjoys nothing better than
being thoroughly fooled.
! Ten thousand fans turned out to
see this man. who had fought four
fights in America. and lost three OF
them. They didn't come to see
Huffman, except as sort of in
dispensable and necessary evil.
Common sense, II any, would
have told them that Carpenter
was passe as far back rs 1877
when the late Battling Sikh
knocked him out. Added cOnyic-
ton on this score was available
| from his fights with Gibbons and
| Tunney, to say nothing OF the
fact that he has been in the ring
for 10 years.
The evidence last night was over
towering in its conclusiveness.
Carpenters legs. once as sprightly
as a ballet dancers no longer are
even adequately spry. Some OF
their speed evaporated on Broad
ways dance floors during recent
months, the rest during years OF
road and ring work.
In the Dempsey fight, his right
hand was almost faster than the
eye. Last night 1t was just an
ordinary weapon. It had lost Its
speed, but most Of all, its snap.
A half dozen times during the fight
he hit Huffman on the chin with
everything he had and the Cali
fornian didn't so much as blink.
In .otlier words, Georges couldn
fight, and for some reason. HUH
man didn't. II there was a decision
to give he should have had It, at
that.
But no great harm was done in
any case. Huffman had the fight
in the bag at the end Of the
seventh round but let Georges
take the play away from him In
the last three, just at . time
when the younger man figured
| to sell himself to the judges CON-
pletely.
Huffman fought a singularly un-
aggressive fight in view OF the fact
that he hurt Georges badly about
| the body in the early rounds and
had him rubber legged at the END
of the fifth from a right to the
body and a left to the jaw.
Thereafter he fought at long
range, for reasons best known to
| himself. Carpenter barely knows
how to take care of himself inside
1 and was a weary old man into the
bargain but Huffman declined to
become unduly familiar and, after
leading with his left, went into
the inevitable cIinch.
Whereupon Georges became a bit
mussy himself, leading numerous
rights, wrestling, pulling and bluff
ing his way into the lead through
the last three rounds. Outside Of
the fifth round, neither was hurt as
much as the writer and he was
more panied than anything else.
However, as I said before, the
boys went away cheering, so that
seems to settle It, Carpenter has
another shot in Philadelphia next
month and 1 presume he will get
away with 1t as handily az he did
last night.
| America simply loves to fall foI
something, providing 1t isn't Ameri
can.

Californian's performance displaces.
Duffey, as a, Georgetown student,

for two years. hut was removed when
