WAR BRINGS A PAU Chapter XXXI By GEORGES CARPENTIER (Copyright 1920, by Eyndicate. All rights reserved. Reproduction prohtbited). 1 was just as sorry as Smith that the fight had ended in such a fash- ion To win on a foul never appealed to me as being a convincing victory. Stith considered himself ————— Carpentier in the Uniform of a French Aviator fortunate man and demanded a return match. There was considerable dis- cussion of another bout and, had not the war intervened, we probably would have met a second time. I feel confident that this time I would have knocked him out, for I had proved that I was his master. 1 did stay in England and was matched to meet Young Ahearn, who, although he was an Engishman by birth, had done most of his fighting in the United States. He was a re- markably fast man, with both his hands and feet, but, like Bombardier Wells, he had his weak spots, which were so fragile that a single hard punch was sufficient to defeat him But while I tarried in England training for the- coming match with Ahearn, war was declared between France and Germany and I hastened off home, announcing that I would not meet Ahearn. War meant one thing to me at this time, aside from .the terror of my country, and this that Francois Des- camps must hurry away to baftle, for he was older than I. I rushed off to tell him the news, but found him al- ready packing his clothing, preparing for the trip to France, where he would join his regiment. “Georges”," he said, wiping away the tears that were streaming down his face. “The time has come for us to LOCAL BOWLERS WIN Captain Frisk’s Trio Downs Hartford Trio in Inter-City League, 1 Games to 1 at Rogers' Alleys. Captain Frisks' defeated the Hartford trio headed by “Kid" Ladish in the Inter-City league series last night at Rogers’ Recreation al- leys, winning four games out of five. Larson as usual was the star bowler of the match, with a total pinfall of 517 for five games. Friskie finished second in pinfall with 501. Not to be outdone, Frederickson of the lo- cals set the high single for the series with 120, rolled in the second game.

You must wait until you are called on.” Not so,” I cried, will allow you to go alone, you are mistaken. The war has come. So be it But I, also, shall join. I will enlist at once. While the war lasts there will be no boxing for me. This very day 1 lay aside my boxing gloves. There will be "boxing after the war when peace comes. It can- not be long delayed.” “But war, Georges, it not for boys. You will not be accepted. You must wait. | “Today, even now,” I persisted, go to enlist. They will take quickly enough.” Immediately 1 called the promoter of the Ahearn match on the telephone and told him I could not meet the British boxer. Then we prepared to leave for Paris. We went to the French consulate in London, Des- camps to report for duty and I to volunteer. It was arranged that we should leave Paris August 4, but it was in fact three days later before we were able to take our leave of London which was a bustle of war prepara- tion and entirely unlike the happy, cheering city I had greeted when I came from France. Paris was a mad city. The war was yet only a few da old, vyet mny of my friends already had met their deaths on the battlefield. The Germans were marching fast. There was only tenseness and longing in the beautiful city. A Being a volunteer I was enabled to choose the branch of service I should enter, and at once I decided I should like the aviation. I believed it would be but a few weeks until I should be riding in my own airplane. But there were other disappointments yet for me. Choosing my branch of the service followed immediately by orders to report at a camp at St. Cyr, near Versailles and about sixteen miles from Paris. The vision of my air- plane grew stronger as I arrived. I reported to an officer. ‘Oh yes,” he said. “I know knew. You are a boxer, it not so? Well, do you drive a car? “Ah, but certainly,” I responded, wondering what vague thing this was he was asking about. “It is good,” he replied. I need a driver for my car and you shall do very nicely.” And so there was I, a champion fighter, in a big war with a tremen- dous task of driving an automobile! The irony of it amused me at first and then I grew irritable, but com- mon sense told me it was folly to protest, so I allowed events to take their course. ! For many weeks did I drive this officer to and fro about the camp. 1 was resting and really enjoying my- self, even with the rigors of military life. It was a life of ease for me. PIRATES BEAT PHILS.

Negro Heavyweight Whe Has Sought a Match With Dempsey in the Past, Joins Training Squad. Atlantic City, June .—Kid Nor- folk, negro light heavyweight, who has been clamoring for a match with Jack Dempsey, today joined the heavyweight champion’s stafi of spar- ring partners. Jack Kearns, manager of the heavyweight champion, con- siders the acquisition of Norfolk te the champion’s staff of sparring part- ners a3 a valuable asset. Norfolk ds the first of a number of high-class boxers who will be brought into camp to put Dempsey on edge in the final ten days of his training. Larry Williams appears to be the only sparring partner in camp who gives Dempsey any kind of a work- out. Larry mixes furiously with the champion, despite the fact that he takes a lacing each day he performs. Yesterday Dempsey nearly scored a clean knockdown over the blonde sparring partner. Westerday the champion increased his boxing to eight rounds for the first time since he started training. The crowds which witness the daily workouts at Dempsey’s outdoor camp are getting larger each day. . Women spectators are numerous and they ap- plaud the champion as he goea through his paces. Manager Kearns was scheduled to leave today for New York for a con- ference with Tex '‘Rickard in an ef- fort to clear up the referee question over which a controversy has de- veloped. STILL USING UNIFORM. in Soldier Garb Able Carpentier in Action. Manhassett, N. Y., June .—For- mer soldiers of the world apparently have .not forgotten the slogan, “your uniform is your pass,” which during the conflict was adopted for hem in many places of amusement through- out the country. The man attired in his old time fighting duds never fails to gain admittance to the camp of Georges Carpentier, and Manager Descamps has been prompted to in- quire whether the American Expe- ditionary Forces have been demob- ilized or not. He declared enough men in uniform to form an army corps have called to see the challenger in action during the past two weeks. Georges started out by presenting each of his former fighting companions an autographed protograph, but the de- mand soon- exceeded the supply, and now they must be content with the everready smile, a hand shake, and a “hello buddy.” Men to See DARTMOUTH WIN 9 TO 4.

REFEREES BOUT | Frenchman Who Seeks Title, Once Acted As Third Man Heavyweight in Ring for Championship Go. Sometime after he defeated Jeffries, Jack Johnson was indicted on charges of violating the Mann act but he evaded arrest and finally journeyed to Paris. When the exchequer shriveled a bit, he accepted a challenge from Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, and they faced one another in France on June 27, 1914. The negro warrior scored a victory on points in 20 rounds. Moran was game and stubbornly stood up to Johnson's assaults, which had not the steam of the champion’s earlier- attacks. Johnson possessed all of his old-time skill, however. There: was not a single knockdown nor anything that smacked of a finish- ing blow. Johnson's superior skill and his incessant uppercutting kept Moran in subjection. Moran’s attack lacked the power to dispose of his adversary. The crowd was as cosmopolitan as Paris itself. There were barons and dukes at the ringside, and earls and duchesses, too. Sporting menx of many nations, clad in the formal evening garb with which Europe honors its boxe were part of the throng. Johnson was proud of his victory, for it was the first time that a champion as old as he had ever defended his title and’ won. He was then 36 years old, Moran’s senior by almost a decade. The referee of the fight was Georges Carpentier, who now aspires to become heavyweight champion by whipping Dempsey. BOGASH IS VICTOR. Bartfield Appeals to Referee to Stop Bout, Claiming Injury. Bridgeport, June 21.—Louis gash of this city, last night scored a technical knockout over ° Soldier Bartfield in the third round of their scheduled fifteen round bout when his opponent appealed to Referee Terry Lee to stop the bout, claiming an injury to his arm. Bartfield declared that he cut his arm in the second round and it was noticed by spectators that the arm hung apparently helpless by his side during the latter part of the second session. Shortly after the third round started, Bartfield requested Lee to stop the bout. An examination of Bartfield’s arm following ‘he bout could not uncover any apparent physical injury and an X-ray will be taken today. In the meantime, Bartfield's end of the purse will be heid by the local box- ing commission. e In the semi-final bout, Bud Weafer knocked out Steady Steadman in the Bo- | third round.

He was re- leased yesterday from the hospital where the operation was performed. Tilden said he would be unable to play in the men's doubles with Arnold Jones of Providence, but hoped to par- ticipate in the mixed doubles -with Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Hallory, the American women's singles champion, in a few days. He appeared confident that there was every prospect of his being fit when the singles challenge round ar- rives.
