CARPENTER MAY
 STAGE COMEBACK
Dempsey's Retirement Has Put New Life Into Gorgeous Georges

New York. March UP)-From Algeria where Georges Carpenter is singing and dancing in a music hall comes word that the Frenchman may attempt another comeback.
 For speculation's sake, a battle between Gene Tunney and Georges Carpenter, say in London. might prove ak good a box-office attraction as a Tunney-Risko bout in this country. Regardless of Carpenters worth as a fighter he has more col or than the present pack of challen- gers and a couple of dabs Of color will cover a multitude Of fighting slns.
 Jack Dempsey's announcement Of retirement has put new life into Gorgeous Georges" and he Is look ing forward 10 entering the ring again.,
 If I put the gloves on again." Carpenter sends word to America, and l certainly shall. it will not be to bother with q bouquillon, nor with a schmelling nor even q bon aglia.
 T shall go seek a comha, in America. where l will find men Of my class and orga nizers who can of fer propositions ten times more 10 my advantage"
 strange as 1t may seem. Carpcn- tier is still heavyweight champion of France and the three boxers whom he holds in most disdain are his three most persistent challengers.
 One Of the most remarkable fight CTS Of all times, Carpenter may not be completely through. He is only S4 years old, one year more than Dempsey.
 Carpenter started his career in 1903 as a flyweight and is the only lighter who has fought at every weight from llo pounds to the un- limited division. He has rar'icipat- d ln loo bouts, losing nine, four by knockouts. and five decisions.
 In moment of over gernass in the Battle Of the Century" 1t Boyle's Thirty Acres, Dempsey left his chin Unguarded for moment and Carre ntier caught him flush on the chin and for q few Hitting sec onds looked for all the world like the next heavyweight champion. Dempsey recovered and knocked him out in the fourth round.
 It Is up to Jack Sharkey. the To- quacious Lithuanian. 10 revive inter- est in the doflatod heavyweight sit uation or the next title bout may not draw enough to pay Gene Tun- ueys s5o0,0oO guarantee.
 Only Sharkey and Dempsey have the qualifications for a title bout, and Dempsey's retirement has elim- mated him at least temporarily.
 If Sharsey should lose to Johnny Risko Monday night, it would be The last straw for the Boston gob who In his last two bouts was knocked out and held to q draw.
 Tom Hecney. the stout-hearted New Zealander. really deserves the frs. shot at Tunney. but he lacks "it' and Tex Rickard has no inten- 'ions of riskins a million dollars or so on him,
 "Hecney simply won't do," Rick ard says and that seems to leave Tom out of the running temporarily despite hLS> one-round knockout of Maloney. victories over Risko and 1 Delaney and i draw with Sharkey.

Basketball fans attending the game between New Britain and the Celtics last night at the Stanley Arena Were wondering about the real reason for the banishment of Holman from the game in the first period. Asked point blank. Referee Dick Dillon answered 10 the writer T put him out because of the use Of profanity He went on further to explain this remark.
 What the \. " Yorker said might not be taken seriously in ordinary conversation but its use to Dick Dil- lon in connection with the foul called on Dave Ranks, put the matter in different light.
 Certainly the episode did much to take away from the interest in the game, Dick Dillon may have been thought 10 be strict but he is one person whom the name of Celtics could not oNeraWo.
 Personally, We have enjoyed the two games with the Renaissance team q great deal better than wc did the contest with the Ccltics last night. We are not influenced in this by the fact that New Britain won two games from the colored stars but because both were better games
 We would venture the suggestion that New Britain has the ability 10 dFt,at the Coltics in another meet ing.

It was a complete victory for the republicans the c. o. P. scoring triumphs in the entire three districts.

MISTRESS OF HISTORIC HOME
HOSTESS TO FEDERATED CLUBS

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. N9-
Looking forward to the coming OF
10000 visitors for the biennial con-
vention of the General Federation
of Women's clubs i'll San Antonio
May 20 to June 6, the Texas fedora
tion relies on two OF it's most popu~
lar members to direct the enter
tainment.
Mrs. Henry Drought of San An
tonic, as local biennial chairman,
is the official hostess. Already her
AZ committees are preparing to give
every visitor entertainment typical
of Texas hospitality.
Acting as official hostess with
Mrs. Drought will be Mrs. w. r.
Potter Of Bowie, president of the
Texas Federation Of Women's clubs.
The convention sessions will be
in the municipal auditorium, a
$2,OOO,0OO building erected by the
citizens of San Antonio as war
memorial.
The guest who has occasion to
Go to Mrs. Drought's own home will
tread on historic ground. 1t was
the plantation of her parents, who
bought it in 1853, after transport
ing all of their possessions by
steamboat and stage from Missouri.
The land then was watered by ir-
Irrigation bitches which the Francl-
sans had built centuries before.
Mrs. Drought's parents - War
wick and Floreida Tunstal1-built
their home in garden which to-
day surrounds their daughters.
Among the flowers is sun dial
which was chisled from great
mill stone brought to America by
Canary Islanders who came to
coIonize the country for the king of
Spain.
Robert E. Lee made the Tunstall
home his own when he was station
ed at San Antonio as an officer OF
the United States army. In the
parIor of the old mansion he re-
ceived word that Virginia had
seeded. Mrs. Drought's sisters
peeped through the door as the
soldier who was to lead the south
ern armies wept when he bade
goodbye to Mr.. and Mrs. Tunstall.
"It is a great misfortune" he
said. But l will stand by my
state
With it's historic background,
Mrs. Drought's home is favorite
gathering place for the society OF
Texas. The hostess is a descendant
of one of the earliest English
families in America. She is closely
identified with civic work, fostering
symphony concerts. free kinder
gartens, clinics, parks, Fairgrounds
and libraries. e
When San Jose Mission, which
the Spaniards built even before her
ancestors settled in Virginia i'll
1910, Mrs Drought gave her own
money to strengthen the slipping
arches and crumbling wallis.
