1 SPORTS. OFFENSE WANES, TIMELY HITS NOT DEVELOPING Usual Bulwarks With Bat Failing and Team Must Improve or Hit Toboggan—Drops Opener to Yanks, 9 to 3. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. EW YORK, June 25.—It begins to look as if the splendid record N made by the Nationals duting their sojourn at home, when, by winning two-thirds'of their engagements they crawled to within striking distance of the lcague leaders, will prove so much cffort wasted so far as improving their position in the race is concerned. Since leaving the familiar scenes of their own lot they have annexed just two victories, while the 9-to-3 drubbing inflicted upon them yesterday by the Yankees makes their total of games lost, four, a paceat exactly an inverse ratio .of that maintained in he capital. Continuance at this gait will not only end all chance of dverhauling the leaders, but with the Red Sox com- ing on apace makes a slump to fourth place more than a possibility. The trouble with the Griffmen is a|present in the press box. He had as decided falling oft on offense. It is true that in_thres of their last six battles they have hit into double fig- ures, but the enemy lso has been active with tho flail, and in a trio of these tilts the Nationals collected only four, six and eight bingles. It Is not so much the reduced quantity of thelr swats as their lack of effective- ness which hurts, however. Not Hitting Timely. The right men are not getting the blows, or, rather, not at the right time. Athietes who farmerly were de- pended ugon to proddce haye not:been coming through. Harris, Rice, Brower, Miller and Gharrity all have skidded badly in thejr stickwork. Stanley, for instance, has made only four hids in-his last half-dozen es, thres of them in that fifteen-inning affair in Philadel- hia, which was lost.. He and Rice th went hitless yestprday, Bs they did the day before. . . . % . Sam has just one bingle to his aredit in his last twenty times at bat. Brower went for five games without getting a safety before last Tuesday and has made one since, his alump eausing McBride to replace him ‘with Smith yesterday. Mliller has collected his guest Rev. Father H. F. O'Houli- han, chaplin of the Army post at Fort Slocum. Griff reports he saw no tal- ent worth while in either the Inter- national or kastern leagues whils he wus nosing around.

QII0F CEORCESWILL WNDENIES STORY FIGHT WILL BE “CARRIED” ON BY JACK KEARNS, Manager of World Champion Jack Dempsey. Q TLANTIC CITY, June 25.—As the time approaches for Jack Demp- sey’s defense of his world championship against Georges Carpens tier of France. the story persists in some parts that Dempsey it going to “carry” his opponent. I have heard the yarn myseclf, and I guess many of my readers have as well. One reason given for the “carry” plan is that the boxers, as the story goes, are to fight a draw in order to re- peat the match in Europe for another big purse. Another version has it that the boxers are to “carry” for the motion pictures. A still more ugly story has it that the champion is to permit the challenger to win and then be given a return match in Europe. To the majority of fight fans in this for my saving thzt Dempscy is going country, or in any other, for that|into this coming bout to fight with all ratter, T hope it is not necessacy for | ¢ Superd skill at his command. me to say that these stories ase S50 Has Pride to Sustain. silly they should not be worth tak- ing the trouble to deny. But as they are handed about and actually be- lieved by some people, I'm going to bave my say on all rumors and so- called “inside stuff” on the coming g winning from every opponent he has faced. While the champion seldom about his ring affairs, or his victories inside the ropes, he wouldn’t be hu- man if he didn't take pride in The champion has gone his way invariably by a knockoul talks his Expect Declaive Victory. achjevements. He has done what na Jack Dempsey, the world champion, hag trained for this bout with the set purpose of winning it and keeping his heavyweight title in America, where it belongs. While both Dempsey and I respect the powers of our opponent and do not hold him at all cheaply, we confidently expect to win, and win decisively. With that in mind, both Jack Demp- sey and myself pledge ourselves, Dempsey as the world champion and 1 as his manager and chief adviser, that the champion will enter into this struggle with the European titlehold- er with the one thought in mind—to score a knockout victory over Georges Carpentier. If Jack Dempsey can win this fight with one punch, the Ameri- can public.and the fight world at large can depend upon it that the one punch will be all the npion will use. There will be no “carrying” of Georges Carpentier, unless he is car- ried out of the ring. ‘There is absolutely no reason why the champion should “carry” Carpen- tier. There is every reason why he should not. Dempsey is the standardbearer of the American ring, who has accepted the challenge of a foreign invader. If there were no other motive, this rep- | resentation of his own “bunch"l against a Europan would be enough ito make Jack Dempsey fight the bat- ) tle, of his life.

But he was no match for the Giant Killer, Dempsey disabled him in the second round with a vicious blow over the stomach and just below the heart. In the third round he knocked him down three times before Miske was forced to quit. The first time he was felled he stay- ed down for the count of nine and he was smiling when he regained other heavyweight champion of his- tory has ever been able T to accom= plish in the way of speedy knockouts and decisive wins over all opponents, He has traveled on and on until he reaches the height of his rin career on July 2, when he faces tie first opponent he has cver met who comes from foreign soil. Dempsey has anticipated this fight for & long ume. He is looking forward to a victory, and a &peed one. That any one with a grain of sense would su pect for a moment that Dempses would attempt a “phony” fight, in this. the most importunt of his career, is the height of the ridiculous.

Jack’s Long String of K. O.’s Earn Him Go With Willard of sketches of ring battles of Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier.) T HE string of seventeen knockouts convinced boxing promoters and the public at large that Dempsey, in spite of unpopularity because of his failure to get into active military service in the war, was the logical man to meet Jess Willard for the heavyweight championship of the world. “Tex” Rickard clinched the bout. The principals met in New ditions for the bout. The statutes of articles for a boxing bout singed in ditions had been settled, the principal ferried to Jersey City and singed the After virtually every city of ac- count. in the TUnited States, where boxing was legal, had been mentioncd as the possible site, Rickard an- nounced that Toledo, Ohio, had been selected for the bout, July 4. City and state officials declared them- selves favorable to the plans and the boxers, about six wecks before the scheduled date, started training in camps near the big arena. | ' (This 1s the sixth of a daily series In spite of Dempsey’s great record | go for hitting, many persons, including Willard himself, were confident that the huge bulk of the Kansan, who had always maintained fairly good hysical condition, would make him mpregnable before his smaller op- ponent. ¥ Dempsey, apparently unmindful’ of the disparity in height and weight, declared that he was going to tackle Willard as he had tackled his victims of the past two years—with a rush.

CARPENTIER WAS YOUNG WHEN BEATEN BY YANKS The defeat of Carpentier by two of the greaiest middleweights that America has had, Billy Papke. the “Illinois Thunderbolt,”” and Frank Klaus of Pittsburgh, is now-cited by persons who believe that the French- man stands small chance with Demp- Y. Carpentier was then only eighteen years of age, but was big and rapidly growing out of the middleweight class. He already stood five feet eleven and one-half inches, his pres- ent height, and it is declared that he had considerable trouble making the middleweight Limit for both bouts. He was meeting two of America’s best boxers, both in their prime. Carpentier's defeat at the hand of Klaus came early in the year. Al- though defeated, he gave Kiausa great battle for nineteen rounds. Then it was Descamps, rather than Carpen- tier, who brought the battle to a close. The manager climbed through the ropes to save his groggy charge irom further punishment, and Carpentier. remonstrating, was forced to quit, Klaus winning on a foul. The Amer- ican, however, was a clean-cut win- ner and surely would have scored an ' C i actual knockout had the bout con- 2 > LA' | tinued. In October of the same year Papke stopped Carpentier in ~ seventeen rounds at the Cirque de Paris. A ring- side witness declares that the result of that battle is small excuse for be- lleving that Carpentier, then a boy, not now, a fully developed man, be a real rival for Jack Dempsey. Carpentier, with all his cleverness, stood toe to toe with the heavy-hit- American for more than a dozen rounds and went down defeated in a gory but manly way. Phone ¥. 6764 SUNDRIES. Howard A.
