to his boxing. Those who knew
him always speak first Of those

interest in the person with whom
he was talking was the great
secret of his popularity. He
analysed people rapidly and his
interest in them never tagged
while they were in his presence.
That was a great deal the way it
was with Georges Carpenter when
he came to America. He was ire.
mendously interested in everything
and in everybody and nobody can
say that Georges did not gain a lot
OF merited popularity on his visits
here as well as with Americans in

boxer. / do not think so. BY the
