NEW YORK, May 21.—Someone hag told Francois Descamps, Car- pefitier’s manager, that Tommy Gib- bons is sensitive to mental sugges- tion. That is the reason, according to a friend of the writer's who crossed the ocean on the same steamship as the French fight party, that the wily, hypnotic Francois feels so certain that Carpentier is going to take Tommy. As a matter of fact, it 1s suspected that Tommy has been known to yield to his imagination. He dic with Harry Greb, ‘f ever a man did. Yet, with Demps he didn’t. Perhaps this was because Jack Kearns was too busy trying to corral $300,000 from the impoverished oil men of Montana to bother with psychology. Anyway, Descamps believes that his eye and Georges’ right can turn the trick. That is the reason why Michigan City these days is being flooded with tales of the added force and velocity which has come to Carpentier’s right as a result of his increased weight. All of which need not affect the mentality of a man as wise as Tommy, a man who knows that the fleshiness of middle age means a wastage of pristine power, rather than increase thereof. Gibbons has never yet been knock ed down and it ts doubtful, even if Carpentier's right 1s as good as it was in 1921 when he smacked Demp- sey with it, that the Frenchman can do it. The writer saw Dempsey let out just one good one in the ring Renato Boxing. at Shelb, i ” y which struck Gibbons National A. A. U. championships | just between the eyes. It was one np Oly bio tras (tea gee <j of those wallops that sent /Firpo to fe er © canvas so repeatedly. Such was the force of it that blood was forced Into both of Gibbons’ eyes and after the fight, they were black down to his cheek bones. Yet Gibbons was not even rocked—not. apparently (ater he told the writer he thought his head had come off.) But anyway, he stood up un¢er it and went on blocking, running and holding on. So {t seems to remain to determine how Carpentier can stand with the gentleman.

NEW YORK, May 21.—The Phila- delphia Nationals ma be lowly but they are not meek. They have been an irritant in the west, like salt on an open wound. When least expect- ed to, they have won and instead of submitting to be kicked around like a homeless pup, they have been snapping at the heels of the mighty, incidentally raising their total of victories to a more respectable fig- ure than they could boast this time last year. If that signifies anything, it 1s the greater weakness of the National league against the tail-enders, es compared with last year. If it con- tinues, it is a mighty significant straw as to which way the wind is blowing. It means a closer race for the pennant, with the ever-present Possibility “of the leader being hauled down from the top by a tall-ender. Hubbell, the big Philadelphia pitcher who has had.his share of Knocks all through his career, and who has speed enough to knock down an army mule, won one game and lost six in 1923. This spring he has won three and lost two. He has made the western teams bite the dust and can stick through a game, which is more than he could do last season. New York found the Chicago club better than any team it has met in the National. There ts nothing very surprising about that. Al- though trimmed by St. Louis four games in succession, the Giants were not meeting a team that was as formidable all around as the Cubs. The latter have two or three good pitchers and the Cardinals are not so certain in that dep ment Cooney stepped into the gap at short for St. Louis at the moment when he could do them the most good. But his acquisition was no greater for the Cards than was the return of Hollocher to the Cubs. Hollocher will make a great differ- ence in the National league race if he keeps on as he has started. That race at the present moment, instead of being the procession which had been predicted is fast de- veloping into a competition of un- certainty with power enough fn the second division to throw some first division club out of the race if the attack happens to settle on that par- ticular nine. fa SS eT The great revival of lawn tennis in England fs said to be cutting down the attendance at cricket matches, ayed today.

AND WHY DO THEY CALL IT THE bed rR BALL RECENT GOLF MATCH HOLDS LESSON FOR ALL FOLLOWERS By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May 21.—Every golfer in the country should take to heart the lesson offered at Garden City last week end when Walter Richard, standing five up on Arden Robbins when they drove off the tenth tee, lost out to the veteran on the 19th hole. An early commanding lead seems to be the hardest situation in the world, even for the experienced golfer to contend with. What hap- pens to the brains of the man with such a lead no one can say, but it certainly happens in hundreds of cases every season and spells disaster, They tell a story of one British amateur champion who later, in a university match, stood eight up at the turn and still succeeded sin losing the match. The decision of President George W. Wightman of the United States Lawn Tennis association to recom- mend a special meeting of the asso- ciation to review ‘the player-writer question, holds promise of peace once more in the tennis world. And that—no matter what the technical results of the meeting—will be wel- comed by tennis lovers throughout the land. It had become all too evident that if the player-writer dis- pute continued, the quarrel would line up friend against friend and player against player and result in nothing but harm to the game. LEONARD STRUCK BY THEATRICAL FEVER By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 21.—(United Press)—Benny Leonard has develop- ed so much enthusiasm for the the- atrica] profession and he professes to see such a future in it that it would be no surprise if he announced his retirement from the ‘ring after the outdoor season. When a champion in these days of few fights and immense purses talks of retirement, the public is Justified in considering the conver- sation to .be a lot of bunk. Leonard, as the champion light- weight of the world fs, at the very least, a $200,000-a-year man, and he is not in his thirties. A surgeon, a lawyer, or an engineer, who has made himself worth $200,000 a year before he passed his twenties, would be mentally deficient if he gave up his business and started in the prgc- tice of a new profession. While it is admitted that the boxer hasn't a profession as permanent as a young man. with a skilled technical trade, it seems that Leonard has several years ahead of him, and even a few years at such a hand- some salary would put the ordinary tradesman at ease for fife, Leonard, however, does not look ‘tat it that way. He has the theatri- cal bug and has it bad, but he has some sensible arguments to show that his desire to get out of the box- ing business is not a fad of the moment or a silly hobby. While he was being made up re- cently by a star cosmetic thrower in a New York movie studio, where he was to go through a 60-round fight for the hand of a movie queen, Leonard unburdened himself of some of his {deas about the boxing busi- ness. “This commission {dea of govern- ment {s spolling the game," he sald “They try to tell a boxer that he must do, They tell a promoter how much he can charge, how many spectators he can seat and what boxers he can. match. The New York commission got on me a few days ago and told me that I had to defend the title, I told the com- missioners I was ready to fight if they would get an opponent for me, and they had to admit that it would be 1 job for them to find an oppon- ent “The newspapers play tip the ex orbitant purses that boxers get and the reformers complain about It. Be- cause of tho prominence given in the news to purses paid to fighters, the public gets tho {dea that boxers are the highest paid performers in the world. They are not. Supposing I do make $300,000 a year, that Is small compared to Al Jolson’s million dollars a year and the salaries and income of \. half million dollars that several other star actors get. “To the actor, his revenue ts called upon to meet only the tiving expenses of himself or his family, while the boxer is burdened with lia. bilits. that consume ‘60 per cent of hiv. epenings. “When T sign for a fight J have to rent a training camp and hire a staff of five or six sparring _ part ners, A champion cannot work with p chopping-blocks. He has to nigh-salaried boxers from the top-notch: it he wants to get the required results from his training. Hoe has to feed himself and his staff He has to pro- He has to trainer and a Me on the beat of food vide all the equipment engage a high-c! number of good seconds. hire representatives to has.to at the gates and see that he gets an even break with the promoters. And when all these bills are subtracted from his purse he has to split with his manager and, in the usual cases, it is a very large split. “There are the physical hardships to be considered, also. Actors, sur- geons, lawyers and others who fol- low the highly-paid professions live a life they choose when they are not in the office. Keeping weight down for them ts only a matter of pride. The boxer has to train every day of his life. He has to weigh his food and be particular that he avoids any dishes that would run him into weight. He is hounded and ha- rassed by associates not of his own choice and his hours of privacy are those only when he is asleep.” Leonard admits that he fs a great champion, and he thinks that he can got just as far in the theatrical business as he did in the ring, “The stage offers a successful star a life-time Job as long as he has the talent to make himself acceptable to the producers and the public,” Leon- ard said. “The boxer, if he is lucky may hold a title and be in the big money for ten years. The ordinary run is much less than ten years. Maybe five years would be a better average. When the champion gets hit on the chin, he might as well wash up. He is all through, Tho revenue of a former champion can be measured in quarters. The pub- le soon forgets a ring champion, but it has a great memory for the- atrical stars, “Boxing was good to me, of course, but it didn’t throw any roses in my p.

By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May 21.—Syracuse's varsity, junior varsity and fresh- men crews will try out the Annapol! rowing course on the Severn river on Thursday in preparation for Sat- urday’s regatta against the Navy crews. The Orange showed by defeating the Massachusetts Tech varsity eight that Ten Eyck has assembled a workmanlike combination, quali- fied to give the Navy its eagerly awaited test. Watching Bill Tilden in his recent appearances in this vicinity as the chief drawing card in club exhibi- tions for funds of various sorts, one received a clear idea as to what publicity does for an athlete. Men and women who had never before attended a tennis match, who knew little or nothing about the game, turned out to see this great lawn tennis star about whom so muclt turmoil has been raised. There was, of course, the general impression that Bill, for First in News Of All Events FamiLiaR WITH FORHS. £2 Copyright, Jest, unwarranted reason, was un- der attack and such a feeling always invests a man witb an added attrac- tiveness. And Bill, who is not so good an actor as he is a lawn tennis player —albeit, a good actor, at that—rose to the rituation commandingly. At Montclair and at Maplewood, for example, he displayed all his stuff and in fact, rose at times to amaz- ing heights, while all the char- acteristics of manner that distin- guish him in regular tournaments were by no means missing. In the end, in auctioning off the racquet with which he had played, Tilden had opportunity to display his histrionic . ability and availed himself of it fully. In brief, what 1s happening to Tilden is perfectly clear. He 1s putting lawn tennis on the broad, |’ public map and he himself is rapid- ly getting to occupy a place in the public mind such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Hagen and Dempsey occupy.
