why Carpenter Again

why S0A PGhSlGA AboaA
UYHY should Georges Carpen-
" tier, former light heavy
- weight champion of the
world, be considered worth seeing
in the United States?
The Frenchman has been box
ing for II years, according to the
record books, and is now 33 years
old. Before he ever saw the
United States he found his trou-
bles battling Americans, Frank
Klaus and Billy Papke showing
him some rough stuff on the
other side.
Carpenter came over here six
years ago and won the world
title in the light heavyweight
class by knocking the aged Bat
Ting Levinsky for a couple of
ash cans. He got plenty for that
brief affair and returned from
"that dear France" to tackle
Dempsey.
1t was terrible to see what
happened to Carpenter at Jersey
City. This writer was there and
saw it all, while munching a hot
dog. The dog had just disap-
peared when Dempsey flattened
the Frenchman and the dog was
no deader than the Frenchman,
either.
Americans have a way about
them of not being afraid of much
or many and good old Tom Glib
bons carried Carpenter for their
ten rounds at Michigan City.
Genere Tunney gave him a ter
rifle beating in New York and it
looked like curtains for the
French hero, etc., etc.
Going back to France Carpen-
tier was stopped by Battling Sikh
and it was said that he was done
with the ring for all time. He
should have been, too. But 10
and behold, here he is coming
back for more punishment, and
he'll get it. Paul Berlenbach can
tear him to pieces with body pun
ishment, iust as Dempsey did at
Jersey City. Jack Delaney can
pop him on the jaw with that
right, just as Gibbons did at
Michigan City, only harder and
with more venom in his punch.
But just why should the aged
Carpenter be dragged back into
the ring to make a Roman holi-
day, unless the promoters want
to take some more jack from the
great army of suckers, an army
growing with leaps and bounds
from year to year, Tell US that.
The Washington times., 1926-01-07

1t is ridiculous for the Navy,
or for friends of 1.-The Navy, to
come out with yelps of grief fol-
lowing defeats by West Point
that the soldiers have all the adj
vantages, ETC., etc. The Navy
knows this before the game, so
why howl about it afterward?
The Naval Academy folks
might do worse than follow the
suggestion made by YoSt, that of
cancelling all football games with
the Military Academy until the
latter adopts the same rules of
procedure in force at Annapolis.
1t does seem a hardship for
the Navy to face such veterans as
Charlie DAILY, Gene Vidal, an
Elmer Oliphant, a Harry Will
son, "Tiny" Hewitt or a Bill
Wood, but there is no reason un-
der the sun why the Navy should
know all about this, stage a game
and, when whipped, howl about it.
The Navy craftsmanship, some
how or other, doesn't seem to
allow for this annual weeping.
OF late this writer has been
rather fed up on tales of the sur
passing courage and sportsman
ship of Navy athletes, whether
officers or enlisted men, whether
boxers or football players, and
the Navy's case seems plain al the
nose on your face. Fielding lost
suggests a way to end al the
trouble. 1t seems to be up to the
Naval Academy to put up or
shut up.

Should Be Faster

" EREAFTER, the P a lac &c
quint is to use net for all
AA the home games at the Ar
cade. This is quite likely to
prove an advantage, as the Palace
players are in wonderful physical
trim and a team has to be in the
best of condition to keep moving
at top speed.
Keeping the ball in play, ex-
cept on clearly seen foul, should
bring much faster play and Lou
Sugarman has his men in perfect
shape for the fastest going.
The principal complaint about
basketball played in an open
court is the frequency of the
whistle demanded by the ball
going out of bounds. Indeed,
this writer would eliminate half
the fouls and make the game still
faster, though a bit rougher, to
be sure. But nobody has ever
been killed playing basketball, re-
member that. The net should
help whole lot.
