(Copyrighit 1920, by United Feature Syndicate. All rights reserved. Reproduction prohibited.) I became a champion of France as a boxer when I was 15 years old. That seems a simple statement to me, but sulted in the merest monetary return. Purses were small and the way to the top ‘was troublous.

My weight increased as L grew up, of course, and it was only natural that I should meet the l champilons, for in France we do not hold championships unless we defend them. On December 22, 1909, T met and defeated Paul Til, then the bantam- welght champion, in a ten round bout In Paris. I previously had met him and held him to a draw. The fight was a hard one and extremely exciting. 1 was, of course, determined to win Land Til was no less determined that I should taste of defeat this time. He feit keenly the fact that I had held him to a draw, while I, egoist that I was, became disgruntled over the fact that he had been able to elude me in our previoug meetings. My opponent, in his anxiety to over- | come me qnickly, led first with a rush, and I resolved at once that if I hoped to win I must take from him the initiative, so I jumped Into him, o (landing a stiff left to his check and following it to his jaw. He tried to regain the Initiative in the second, but I successfully elud- ed him by dancing in and out, land- ing now and then with light left or right and rolling up points as time went on. With a “one-two” punch in the third T sent him to the floor, but so furious was my attack at the time that I could not catch myself and, stumbling over him, I, too, fell pros- trate. We arose and he charged, but I kept away from him. Til must have decided that he would beat me with a furious at- tack, for he kept charging and swing- with a long right swing ing his arms In the succeeding rounds. | On one occasion he pushed than knocked me to the ropes rather and as 1 slid downward made as if to hit . me. The referee then saved him from disqualification by selzing his arm, but I am sure that Til did not intend a foul blow, for he is an up- right boxer. By this time I had worked my way inside Til'y attack and he was tiring rapidly. 1 met him time after time with straight stiff punches to the face and he was pretty badly worn. At the beginning of the ninth round he was quivering with fatigue and his | face was puffed and bloody. I flung a serfes of blows at him in the tenth round that he was powerless to re- sist. The referee readily proclaimed me winner at the end of the bout. He immediately demanded a return bout, but Descamps put him off until | 1 should reach 16. I fought him the following summe,: and drew with him in twenty rounds. I received 200 francs for the bout. My fighting up to this time had re- | | | A Closeup Study of Georges. times when I should fight. We were so poor I must feel badly about it ‘even now when I recall it. I didn’t care, of course. Responsibility for everything rested with Francois and, somehow, he always turned up with whatever was necessary for our ex- istence. We were not tramps in any sense of the word, but we were very, very poor. ? It was not until 1910, after ous bouts with fighters here and there that France really began to take to me and see that I was reg- ularly employed. Gaillard, a man well thought of in France, was the o eans of my rise to a certain popu- larity. He had done a great deal of fighting and flung out a challenge to me. Descamps seized on the match and it was arranged to be held at Lens before my home people. It was my first public experience in a ring in Lens, and, naturally, there was some excitement over it. It was a fight I should have passed by, I suppose, for everything was against me and 1 was forced to give everything I had against this strong, hard-punching antagonist. There were moments during the encounter when I felt that I would have to give in to the strong Gaillard. He bat- tered me cruelly, but I was so much faster and landed such a greater num- ber of blows that at the end of the ten rounds 1 was declared the winner. The victory enthused my father and mother, who finally admitted that perhaps some day I should become a boxer worthy the name. Descamps was overjoyed with the victory, for it had given him a . chance to prove at home that I really had a chance to get along as a fight- er. “Georges,” he whispered to me, “some day Lens will have cause to rejoice that we have lived here. Al- ready the newspapers are crying your talent. We shall be rich some day.” vari- Passed ball—Schalk. Winning pitcher— Zachary.

Atlantic City, May 24.—Jack Demp- sey has progressed so rapidly in his training for his match with Georges Carpentier July 2 that Manager Kearns contemplates giving the cham- pion a week of absolute rest, prob- ably the first week of June, was an- nounced today. This is in accordance with the training campaign Dempsey tollowing for his battle with Jess Wil- lard at Toledo two vears ago when he suspended all training activities for six days because of fear of going stale. With Dempsey rapidly getting into copdition the shortage of heavy- weight sparring partners is causing Manager Kearns no alarm. Leo Houck, who desired to quit after Jack Clifford left camp, has been persuad- ed to remain another week. Jack Renault, heavyweight, will re- turn to camp today along with Frank- je Britton, a light heavyweight from Philadelphia. g WITHDRAWS COMPLAINT.

New York, May 24.—Despite the downpour of rain and the penetrating cold of yesterday, Georges Carpentier, prospective = opponent of World's Heavyweight Champion Jack Demp- sey, gave his first training workout yesterday for the benefit of American critics at his camp on the Matthews Farm, Manhasset, L. I. The French boxer, in a session which extended over exactly one-half hour, did every- thing but box. In his workout Car- pentier showed superbd condition, agil- ity and speed of hand and foot. At the expiration of his training period he was hardly puffing from the exer- tions which had flushed his otherwise pallid face. The workout demonstrated the truth of the assertions made by Man- ager Francois Descamps and Trainer Gus Wilson since the arrival of Car- pentier in this country. This is that the European heavyweight champion right now is in fighting trim, with only slight preparation necessary to fit him for the ring combat scheduled for July 2 at Jersey City. Manager Descamps and Trainer Wilson are de- cided that their charge is enjoyving the best of condition, and have mapped the training camp program accord- ingly. Just enough work to keep him in shape will be the order for Car- pentier until the day of the battle. BLACK SERVANT LOSES. Louisville.
