EXPERTS GIVE GEORGES CARPENTIER EVEN BREAK| Dempsey Stock Declines ‘and French Champion is Now | Given Chance ’ By Henry L. Farrell, (United Press Staff Correspondent) | New York, Dec. 30.—When Franl: Moran finished Joe Beckett in iwo| rounds, fight fandom gave up a lot| of nice things it had been thinking about Georges Carpentier. # He was regarded as a wonder man because he finished the English cham- pion with one punch. But when Moran, who doesn’t rank one to ten in American heavyweight circles, did the same thing in a round longer, the experts figured the Frenchman would be easy for Dempsey. Then came the Dempsey-Brennan fight and the champion’s stock slump-| ed. The fight folks think now tha: the| Dempsey-Carpentier ~ affair will be| “any man’s game.” Against Brennan, Dempsey showed | threc important things that the critics were dubious about. In his favor was the evidence that he could go un- der hard pressure for at least twelve rounds and that he can take a hard punch from a hard hitter. The third, | less favorable to him in doping him with Carpentier, is the fact shown by Brennan that he is very open and can be reached by a fast man who will carry the fight to him. Against Fulton, Willard and Miske, his last fights, Dempsey carried the fight and proved the truth of the German theory that a perfect offense needs no defense. Dempsey got that trio before they had a chance to get him. He evidently figured that Brennan would cover up and try to last as long as pofsible. Instead, Brepnan fooled him and dashed out of his corner on the offensive. Dempsey was baffled when Brennan insisted on carrying the fight to him and he had to wait| his chance. Carpentier has a punch and so has Dempsey, thus strengthening the opinion expressed before that the first one who gets his punch across will win the fight. Joe Beckett is now an admitted second rater, so Carpentier's quick worl: with him cannot be over-esti- mated. However, the Frenchman may fight Moran and the result will be | interesting. Brennan is a better fighter than Moran, but only slightly. Ifit takes| Carpentier more than twelve rounds| to finish Moran, Dempsey will look better. However, it must be considered that Dempsey was not himself against Brennan. He was “overtrained and| stale and he was cold for six rounds. He also showed the lack of work. He worked his way up to Willard by| steady fighting and then grew rusty| by having only two bouts in seventeen | months. Joe Welling made Benny Leonard step some to beat him and all the} lightweights, who were dodging the| champion before, are now hot after him. NEW YEAR MAY OPEN | ON A PRE-WAR BASIS, (Continued from Page ¥) readjustment is in a more settled ba- | s of general merchandise will e the normal volume. ith regard to farming: Farm- ers, generally, have now accepted the idea that they cannot in all cases ex- pect to get the cost of production for their 1920 products. They accept this fact more complacently after realizing that Individuals, firms and corporations in other lines of business also are suffering severe losses due to the general deflation process. On the cther hand, they feel that labor. which is the biggest single item in their cest of production, is already considerably reduced and will be more so by another spring. Gen- eral equipment required on farms al- ready has shown some reduction with exception of farm machinery. Feed and sccd are on hand in generous quantities and at current market pri- ces will go into cost of producing a new crop at value a great deal lower than those of 1920. - Further, con- gress is giving some attention to tar-| iff legislation that should stabilize farm prices. In Zeneral, there is a great deal to encourage farmers in the belief that when their crops are| ready for marketing next fall, the cost of producing tnem will be suffi- ciently low to enable them to make a profit. “With regard~o banking: If move- ment of crops in the Northwest again reaches normal valume for banking circles in rura! districts will be felt. Also, the reduced prices on commondities will require amaller lines of credit for a given volume of business. On the other hand, bank- ing institutions do not expect liguida- tion in suflicient volume to afford what might be termed *‘easy money"” untdl another crop is harvested and marketed.” ) | mittee, often relief| ‘of the committee, annuunee&i today. FOUR CENTS PROVIDES - MEAL FOR ONE CHILD European Reiiof Council vHu Million Children Minneapolis, Minn, -Dec. 30.—A fraction less than four cents is suf- ficient to provide a meal for a child in Germany, and one million children are to be cared for on Yhis basis from January 1 to July 1 as part of the broad program which the European Relief Council has undertaken. i The American Friends service Com- | referred to as the American Quaker Child Relief Mis- sion to Germany, is one of the eight| organizaticns which comprise the Eu-! ropean Relief Council. The organi-|] zation will continue actively to dis-| pense relief for German children. “It is estimated that the proposed program of feeding 500,000 children a day to January 1, and 1,000,000 children a day from January 1 to July 1, will cost between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000,” said an. announce- | ment authorized by the Minnesota committee of the European Relief. Council. “The flour and sugar which the German government has promised to supply, represents at American | prices about one-third of this cost. The German governnient’s flour and i sugar contribution reduces our cost|| per meal to 3.7 cents. ‘This means that $1 will serve a daily meal to a| child for a month.” > Several hundred thousand lives|| were saved in Germany alone by American food and American medi- cine, provided during the closing months of 1920. Results of Ameri- can feeding showed gains in weight| of from one to eighteen pounds per patient in eight weeks. Following are paragraphs taken from the re- ports of physicians in chatge of re- lief work in a single district: ! “After a few weels of feeding the| mental tone of the children was im-{ proved. Indiffelence gave way to eager attention and interest. Teach- ers and physicians report children happier and stronger. - Besides gains in weight we can report a great change in the appearance of the chil- dren. Pale and yellow faces are less frequent. Resistance to disease is| increased. Children ~from six to eight years of age showed the great- est evidence of under-nourishment and have also shown the greatest im- provement from the feeding. In- crease in the ability of mothers to nurse their babies is noted after a short period of feeding ~and this means hope for the future genera- tion. The feeding has. given us a powerful weapon in the fight against tuberculosis.” OUICK PRINTERS AND PIONEERS WIN MATCH The Quick Printers and the Pio- neers won two out of three games in the matches at the Crawford alleys last evening, Crowell of the Oilers chalking up high score with 215 in the first game.
