AMERICAN METHODS MADE CARPENTIER Chapter 1 ORG CARPENTI (CopyWwright 1920, by United Feature Syndicate, All rights reserved Reproduction prohibited). Any success I have had in the ring owe o a very great extent to the United States. I want people to understand this. {I want them to know how valuable | I consider the method of boxing practised here. The British are upstanding boxere. They learn to lead and get away, to strike hard, clean blows st ght out. | They do not know the meaning of this infighting which forms the bas of attack for 5o many Americans. I have an aptitude for learning things quickly, so Francois Descamps, my fricnd and manager has told me, and it did not take me very long fo | realize that if T must become a truly | great boxer I.must adopt the Ameri- | can mode of attack. But I went a step further than that. I combined the best points of American and Brit- ish stvles of boxing and added to the combination some points of my own. I intend in these articles to describe fully my feclings and methods in my hts will Billy Papke and Frank Klaus, two wonderfw! American mid- dlewcights. It was their ability to get inside my guard and rip short punghes to my body that enabled them to defeat me. 1 learned from those fights. T s myself to learn those methods of fighting and I have succeeded, I believe. Fighters of no other nation are able to guard them- selves against such an attack or to employ it in their own offensives. This one reason for the upusual success of Americans when pitted against foreigners. 1 do not fear these fighters, for I have learned how him out is virtually to kill | to fight the American/way. ges Carpenticr in a Pavorite Posc Without knowledge of American methods [ probably should be help- less when I meet Jack Dempsey. When I do m t Demupsey, do not make the mist of feelin orry for me I consider it cally certain at I shall win, for I have made boxing a life study and I consider my- self an apt pupil When I have lost : fights it has been because new meth ods were employed against me. T} job. _1 have learned about my busi-" ness very thoroughly. I want te say these thinzs before I start unrolling the panorama of events in my life, for then the reader will be better able to understand the gradupl growth 1 experienced before becoming the heavyweight champion of Europe, As a child I studied my opponents, both before thev entered the ring and after we had exchanged the first blows. At times I have gone to watch my probable opponents fight other men. I have imagined myself in the riog with them watched the leads and cepunters and studied out what I would have done against each. | Then I have taken the data I collected back to the gymnasium with me, stud- ied it again, and then put into prac- tice against sparring partners my theories with regard to those particu- lar fighte. Those batiles were won { before they were fought for on sev- eral occasions it was possible for me to carry out to the most minute de- | tail the movements and blows I had decided to use. Thoe things have made me a champion. If T defeat Jack Dempsey for the world’s heavyweight champ- fonehip it will be because of those methods. Francois Descamps and 1 will map out that battle just as we have mapped out others. I am con- fident of the resuit. CARPENTIER ARRIVES Frenchman Leaves New York at Once for His Training Quarters at Manhas- set, L. L—Will Work in Privacy. New York, May 16.—The steamship La Savoie, with Georges Carpenticr, the | .
