"SPORTING | MATCH FOR DEMPSEY Light - Heavyweight King Showed But Little Class in the Carpentier Battle BY JOE WILLIAMS. : New York, Aug. 1.--Say what you 5 will about Georges Carpentier. «+ Call him actor, faker, has-heen. But hand him this much credit: as a trial horse he is a complete success. You ring fans should be interest- ed in trial horses. A trial horse is A fading fighter who tests the skill © Carpentier came over from France and battled Tommy Gibbons at ~ Michigan City, Ind., two months ago. Gibbons had gone 15 rounds with Jack Dempsey, king of the heavies, "and was maneuvering for a return ~ fight. One way to convince the pub- lic that he deserved it would be to 'knock out Carpentier, You know 'what happened. The Frenchman stuck the limit, limping through the last two rounds on a sprained ankle, Result: exit Gibbons as a possible Dempsey conqueror, Next came Gene Tunney, Ameri- can light-heavyweight champion. Mr. Tunney talked earnestly and pro- foundly of a match with Dempsey. The Carpentier battle was arranged with that idea in view, Shrewdly Tunney's manager, Billy Gibson, insisted. on a 16-round bout. The Frenchman had proved that he was still good enough, physically, to £0 10 rounds against Gibbons, but 'maybe he would find the longer route tougher. It is hardly necessary to recall the main details. Tunney won by a knockout in the fourteenth round. . It was a legitimate knockout. This writer sat within 15 feet of the scene and saw nothing that might be inter- preted as a foul action on the part of the American, either by knee or fist, Carpentier had simply spent his energy--Ilimited enough to begin with--and was a wide-open mark for any sort of attack. Had the condi- tions been reversed, in the niatter of youth and stamina, I have no doubt . but that the Frenchman would have won by a knockout before the sixth round. . Tunney has little genuine class ~ and talk of matching him now with ~ Dempsey is ridiculous. He is a fair 'body puncher, with a neat left hook, but is ordinary at long range. He is not a natural hitter and his punches lack the snap and kick that come with perfectly delivered, well timed blows. That dash and spontaneity you find in the instinctive fighter is Jacking, too. Once during the tempestuous tenth round when the Frenchman went down for a count for the first time, Tunney showed his utter ama- tourism by feinting Carpentier while the latter stood absolutely helpless with both arms dangling at his side, Imagine that, Imogene! « The idea of the feint in boxing is | to make your opponent lead or open up. But here was Carpentier with both hands motionless at his side, and Tunney feinting him! All Tun- ney had to do was to walk over and paste him ahd the show would have been over. You' can check Tunn2y definitely off the Dempsey calling list along with Gibbons, and thank Carpentier, the trial horse, for another illuminat. demonstration... It saves you from a lot of ballyhooing and bun- combe that would have come later. It is dangerous to believe and to disbelieve; therefore it is far better that the truth should be thoroughly searched than that a foolish opinion should pervert your judgment. ; It is a good thing to laugh at any "yate; and if a straw can tickle a man it is an instrument of happi- turday, August 2nd ASEBAL SCORES THURSDAY'S SCORES.

Now he is as well known as any runner in the | world. Stenroos, at the age of forty, and competing in his first long run in fifteen years, surprised the world by finishing an easy first in the classic Olympic marathon, covering the dis- tance in 2 hours 41 minutes and 22 3-5 seconds.

Delahanty, in a now famous interview on his batting feats. That was the only explanation he offered for his remarkable success as a batsman. Those five words have become a baseball classic. » - . 'When a batter is in a slump and looks to his teammates for sugges- tions, all he usually gets is: "Hit em where they ain't." It a player hits a line drive di- rectly at some player, who makes the catch without moving out of his tracks, some one invariably shouts: "Hit 'em where they ain't." It is a mighty logical deduction, this stunt of hitting the ball where no one is playing, if you would be a great batter, but rather hard to execute. : The great batsmen of the past were usually mighty modest chaps when discussing their feats of swat. A majority of the present-day bat- ting stars are equally so. * . -. Billy Evans 8ays-- { Without doubt one of the great- est batters in the history of the game is Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals, : Hornsby is the type of batter who makes real base hits, It is the ex- ception for him to get a flukey OUT OUR WAY, mo safety. There is a ring to every ball that he hits, In making a tour of the training camps one spring, I spent several hours with Hornsby, in which the art of batting formed part of the topic of conversation, Hornsby at first tried to explain his great batting by saying he was just lucky. 1 wouldn't accept that one. "I take batting practice at every opportunity. Try to feel that I am as good a hitter as the pitcher is a pitcher. In other words, have con- fidence in my ability.

"Lefty" Leifield, assistant to Lee Fohl at Boston, is a great admirer of Hornsby. Recently he bumped The batting averages just published showed him | batting better than .400. "See you are hitting them better than ever," remarked Leifield. "Wrong," replied Hornsby, "the pitching isn't quite so good." "NUT C BY JOE WILLIAMS Peggy Joyce goes to all the fights in New York. This is what comes of giving so much publicity to mil- lion-dollar purses. Having taken almost $50 000 out of this country, It strikes us that Carpentier has thoroughly establish- ed his ability to take it, as the say- icg goes, They call Georges the orchid man, and it was fitting that Tunney should say it with flowers....Lilles, of course, "The Frenchman {s nothing but an actor," hardened critics declare. But give him credit, he was a bad actor with the right in his day. It's getting so you can't be too sure of anything any more. Imagine Chick Evans losing in the western golf championship. Yankees seem to have shot their bolt, and it is a wonder the infuri- ated Huggins hasn't shot himself by now. -- There is too much petty jealousy and hypocrisy in the world and not enough base hits that win ball games, in the ninth inning. | 1 Tunney didn't do so bad in the Carpentier fight. He got $40,000, won the decision and convinced the world that he's not goo@l enough to take a pasting from Dempsey. "They say the series between the } Yanks and Tigers was for blood....
