MY FIGHTING LIFE —By— GEORGES CARPENTIER Ring Histor, y in Europe As Centered About Challenger of Dempsey. FIRST VICTORY ON A FOUL Chapter VI Georges Carpentier (Copyright 1920, by United Feature Syndicate, All rights reserved. teproduction Prohibited). It was at Maison-Lafitte. known to * all the world as a center for training horses, that 1 met the jocky, Salmon, in October of 1908. Tt was my first fight for money and for it I received franes. non fully developed 1| years my senjor, and he through a number of hard Every trainer, every Jockey, every rac employe, of course, laughed heartily when he saw the baby from Lens, who was to beat their champion. 1 was 80 thin, so pale, so scraggly that it seemed impossible. We were matched to fight twenty rounds and so far as [ was concerned the fight was to go that length, for By was 50 had gone boy, every Ready to Crush a Sparing Partner, I was not to give up. And I am sure that thig describes Salmon’s frame of mind, diso, for he was a very nervy chap and a hard fighter. It was a very terrible bout. We fought at top- speed, each scorning to clinch. In the thirteenth round Salmon struck a foul blow and was disquali- fled, much to his distress and to mine for I am sure the blow was uninten- tiorlal and I wanted to see what T could do against such a fighter. He immediately suggested that another match be arranged and Descamps and mywelf quickly assented. When I faced the jockey the second time it was with the knowledge that he was a different man. He had trained harder, for he meant to win. The disqualification on a foul had hurt him deeply and one had but to look at his eyes and set look about his lips to know that here was a man who would have to be beaten help- less before he would quit the fight Salmon boxed that night as if he PIRATES WIN WITH HAMILTON ON MOUND League Leaders Support Hard Luck Twirler Finely Brooklyn. N.

Left on bases were a machine and did things auto- matically. His muscles were hard as iron and he struck blows that were excruciatingly painful. We had start- ed off in the same hurricanc style with which we began our first fight nd as a result both of us were soon covered with blood. My head ached and rang from the punches Salmon rained on me. My eyes were black- ed and swollen. but I refused to re- linquish the battle. Descamps was in mental agony as he watched me take the punches one after the other, and when Salmon rocked me in the tenth round with a Stiff blow to the jaw Descamps near- Iy went mad. Between the tenth and eleventh rounds he asked me to allow him to throw a towel into the ring. 1 was outraged and told him so. threatened never to fight again if he persisted in such a determination. But Salmon ended the fight himself, for in the eighteenth round he knocked me out. Newspdper paid me wonderful compliments for accomplishments that day against Salmon. They said I was a perfect boxer. And still Sal- mon won the bout. It would have been miraculous had I defeated him, for he was a lion-hearted man, well- versed in ring strategy, while I was a vouth, with only a few bouts from which to gain my experience. I am sure that if Salmon had embraced the ring as a profession he would have risen high, but he never did, He pre- ferred his horses and has tohis credit a victory in the Grand Steeplechase of Paris. There was little money in these fights—just enough to turn me out of the amateur ranks to be exact. But they were the means of bringing me before the public and start me on my way to the glorious Paris for which I | dreamed day after day. Little para- graphg began to appear in the Paris newspapers chronicling the deads of the Lens phenom. They lauded me as a wonderful boxer and pretty soon boxing followers in the capital began to yearn for a sight of what I could do. j It was not my intention to go over my battles in the early days, except those that have had an important bearing on my career. Suffice it to say that my bout with Salmon was a wonderful lesson that I did not lose sight of. I turned into my gymnas- jum work with renewed vigor. I was young; therefore, hope was constantly surging in my Dbreast. 1 reasoned rightly that it was nothing *~ be ashamed of to lose a fight at the hands of the little jockey. and Des- camps, even while he wept over my hurts that came from the fight, con- stantly cheered me with rosy promis- es of what I should do in the future. He took the uttermost pains at in structing me in defenses against the blows which had brought about my downfall before Salmon w0 that I should not have it happen again. And I did not forget. T worked hard on new blows, hardening my muscles, keeping them supple. 1 still believed that I could become a truly fine boxer.

Chicago, May 21.—*“Rabbit” Ma- ranville of Pittsburgh was on a bat- ting rampage during the past week and went from tenth place to second to Roger Hornsby, the St. Louis star, who still is topping the National league regulars in batting despite the fact that he ranvinto a slump. Ma- ranville’s average is .368, compared with .356 last week, while the cham- pion of last year dropped from .471 to .457. The averages include games of last. Wednesday. George Kelly of the Giants, who is competing with Babe Ruth of the Yankees in the major league race for home run honors, hit only one four ply blow which brought his total to eight while the American league champion has an even dozen. Bohne of Cincinnati stole .another base during the week and leads the base stealers with eight thefts. A number of surprises are in store for the American league batters in the next few days. Tyrus Cobb, pilot of the Tigers, is back at his old tricks with the willow and promises to make things interesting for one of "his outfielders, Hallman who is lead- ing the league with an average of .454. Cobb’s mark is .395. George Sister, the St. Louis star is coming along fast and has moved from 37th to fourth place in the past two weeks. ) o | New York Brooklyn Boston Phi Pittsburgh Chicago St. Louis Cincinnati ws 12 Mok ~aate 2 =, o WU AR K AN e o 1S O e e m ok oa American Leaguc S.
