L base my belief on the many years. of experience Carpentier has had in | boxing at the different weights and | in the different classess—starting a8 a bantamweight and fighting his way up to the heavyweight championship | of Europe, the title he now holds, It is possible that the ‘Frenchman is not showing the critics everything that he has. The next few days should give these critics a chance to see a change in his work, for Georges will now have to get down to hard training, and will, no doubt, show to better advantage than he has during the past month. I do not think that he has, to date, had the sparring partners that he should have to train for a man of Dempsey’s style, but a couple of vicious, aggressive fighters of the champion’s type could. still do him lots of good. if Carpentier works with such men before the fight, | think he has a; fairly good chance of winning from. Dempsey, mainly because of his su- perior boxing ability, which he has gained through his years of experi- ence. Dempsey has had only three or four years of actual ring expert- ence and has never really traveled over a long distance other than on two occasions. Long-distance con- | tests are what give a man the ring generalship that is needed. ‘Besides being a:clever boxer and | undoubtedly a very game fighter, as his past proves, Carpentier is a won With these qualifi- cations | believe he a_very good bet on the short end at odds of 3 to 1. Naturally, [. hope Dempsey wins the bout, and the championship re- mains in America, but I cannot figure Carpentier to be as.poor a periormer as the critics have attempted to make him out, 1 ttuunk the ‘Frenchman a good short- end bet, especially to stay six rounds. (Copyright 1921 by ‘Newspaper En- terprise,) KID BROTHER * MAN 0’ WAR BY DEAN SNYDER. Playfellow is not as good a horse at three as his. illustrious brother, Man o’ War, was, But he is coming fast now. His run-/ ning is becoming smoother. He has | speed and stamina, The colt was sold to the Rancocas stables a short time ago for $115,000. In his first race after the transfer ; he finished third under a heavy weight handicap. As a two-year-old, Playfellow had} an uneven gait. He had been growing fast- during the past year and has not responded to training like other colts | of his. age. _° But he has the stuff in him. There is no doubt of it. | If he does_turn out to be a great! runner, it will prove the theory of breeding and show that Man o’ War} was Not an accident. We believe that the kid brother of the greatest horge of all times will be just as great in another year. WAR TIMENT, It is natural that the sentiment of the World War should be reflected in the Dempsey-Carpentier battle. One would naturally suppose that the English fight fans would .string with Carpentier, the Frenchman. They do. Also you would expect to find the Germans favoring Dempsey over Car- pentier. They do. | If Dempsey was not an American, ‘our sympathies would be with the Frenchman, War wove a strong bond of fellow- ship between. some nations and built | up strong dislikes with others. Both are the “sticking” kind. GENTLEMAN BOXERS, Some folks have funny notions about boxers. SSS SSS Bem ae Who are the City Cleaners _ and Dyers j devotes most of his thinking to the; They figure that the fight game ts rough and brutal. But in this world anything we ac-} complish we must fight for. i There, thereare a few roughneck box-| ers, but the average shows as many | Sentlemen in it as in any other busi- ness. Where would you find finer men than Benny Leonard, Jack Britton, the Gibbons brothers, Joe Lynch, and others? HIt TAPE FIRST. Earl. Eby, the great Penn miler, | hasn't any patience with a fellew wio{ time record instead of winning the race. “Give me the runner who can win the race,” says Eby. “Time is a sec- ondary matter. Beat the other fellow to the tape and you have accomplished the real purpose of any race.” Running against time is not sport. Racing is, competition between in- dividuals.. If you beat the other fel- low, the time takes care of itself, AS EXPECTED. Babe Ruth is betting on Dempsey’s “sock.” Socking is the Bambino's business. His choice of fighters isn’t surpris- ing. Babe isn’t a fancy batter. He tries always to sock the ball for a knock-| out. Ty Cobb, on the other hand, a skill-; ful manipulator of the wagon tongue, | likes Carpentier because he is rated: as being a scientific fighter. i There's a good argument there. “SLEEPING SICKNESS, Slow-footedness isn’t the real reason | the Yankees are lagging. The trouble is that the Hugmen have fits of sleeping sickness. Even with all the splendid slugging power which they are conceded to have, they have their listless “don't; care” days. A team which snaps into it every} game, though weaker on paper, can trim the Yanks in spite of all the latent power a@hey Possess. KANSAS CITY SEES CHANCE FOR PENNANT Climb From, Last Place at End! of Last Year and Flirt with Prized Flag Kansas City, Mo., June 29.—From a firm hold on last place, which they had achieved last season, the Blues, Kansas City’s American association ball team, have pounded their way to a position where they are flirting with the A. A. pennant. Taking a flier at Prophecy, which he doesn't often do, President George Muehlebach would finish “one, two, three.” And the credit for this very satisfactory pros- pect Muehlcbach hands to two factors —the way the boys are pounding the old pill ind the highly .satisfactory managerial talents displayed by Frank Otto Knabe. The Blues are pounding the ball all over the lot and have been since the first af the season. . They have been leading the league in their team bat- ting average so long that the sport scribes refuse to take ‘any interest in so everyday a matter any more. June 11 the team average was .331, and nine of the regulars were batting above three hundred. The bright lights in this slugging aggregation were: C. Willjams, with 533; Butler ; Brief, .299; Good, .355; Carter, Sochran, .348; Scott, 341; Zwill- 317, and Friburg, .309. ing. ‘Bunny ‘Brief; is the home run hero of the local team, with eleven round {and 26, and Charley Boardman’s Fargi trip blows to his credit, but Wilbur Good is stepping on his heels with nine of the same variety. Kev. Rus- sell, up ‘Minneapolis way, Is giving Brief a yun for his money, however, and it’s a neck and neck affair so far. The whole outficld is hitting above .300 and has been doing so, consist- ently. Part of this heavy hitting, of course, President Muehlebach is willing to admit,,is the result of the passing of the spit-ball, emory ball and shine ball artists, Bat a whole lot of it is just consistent good hittii:s, the kind that wins ball games, and has a ‘way of sitpping off with the pennants. And don't forget, says Muvhiebach, this manager person Knabo. the fellows that need riding, an} he pets the temperamental birds that need encouragement. Muehlebdch says he's looking for about one more good pitcher ami an- ; other catcher, and then he'll be sit- ting on the world. As it is, the Blue boss isn’t feeling so down- hearted. { f MANDAN IS OUT TO WIN HERE Mandan’s baseball team is out to beat Bismarck! Mandan plays lyre at 6:30 this even- ing.
