LEVINSKY D SIGN WITH DEMP! . CHAPTER XXXVIIL By Georges Carpentier, (Copyright, 1921, by United Feature Syndicate.) My exhibition tour at last had one good effect. It kept me in condition when otherwise the opportunities for amusement and entertainment might have put me out of form. Never for a minute did 1 underestimate Le- vinsky. All the time I felt sure I was hias superior just as I now have the ut- most confidence that I will be able to win the world’s championship from Dempsey. In training for Levinsky I was act- uated by a double desire—to get into the best possible condition to win quickly, a la Beckett if possible and to show the Americans that I was not overrated. I trained hard at Summit, N. J., and a week before the fight was n perfect condition. I never felt better. 1 was in perfect health, my timing was good, my wind fine and my legs strong. I had to suppress some of my optimism because De- camps kept telling me as he has al- ways done that fights are always won in the ring, not in the gymnasium. Then came a reverse It was damp and cold the first week of Oc- tober. You will remember how the raseball crowds shivered at the world's series baseball games In Brooklyn. My trainers kept telling me that the weather was very treacherous and that I should be careful. 1 felt so fine though that I got a little careless in running around the training camp and caught a severe cold two days be- fore the fight and felt miserable. Des- camps treated me almost with despe- ration and 1 broke the cold but much of my energy was gone and I felt rath- er listless. However, on the night of October 13, telt better, even if I was far feeling my besh The contest was staged in the Jersey City ball park which was a sort of disadvantage to me as I am not accustomed to boxing ip the open air. It was cold and damp. While I was sitting in my corner waiting for the pre-battle routine to ne completed. such as introduction of well known persons, posing for pic- tures and the like I became chilled clear through. My trainers rubbed and pinched me but I couldn’t seem tc get my blood warm. Nevertheless rnot for a minute did I lose confidence. | knew that I was good enough to win even it 1 didn't feel well. We watched Levinsky in his corner. He never once raised his head. Des ramps watched him for a lonz time and then said: “Georges, you have the fisht won.” Just as soon as the round started I knew Descamps was right even it 1 had not known it before. I just look- ©d at Levinsky and knew that I was %oing to be the finner. It did not take long to learn that Levinsky was just in the ring to last as long as he could. He was to fight a purely defensive fight. I would much rather have had nim come into me. The fight was not a one round vic- tory because I did not feel at my be:t I MEET when I entered the ring 1920, 1 from Heathcote, cf Doak, P seveeee. 3 . 2 12 27 14 2 xBatted for Coumbe in the ninth Cincinnati . . 200 000 100—3 St. Louls . 111 002 02x—7 Two base hits, Schultz, Groh, Roush, Clemons; three base hits, Wingo, Heathcote; home runs, Smith, McHenry; stolen bases, Daubert, Groh; sacrifices, Groh, Lavan, Heath- cote; double play, Kopf and Daubert; left on bases, Cincinnati 10, St. Louis 4; bases on balls, off Marquard 1, off Doak 1; hits, off Eller 3 in 1 inning, off Marquard 6 in 6 innings, off Nap- fer 3 in 2-3 inning, off Coumbe none in 1-3 inning: hit by pitcher, by Doak (Roush); struck out, by Marquard 3, by Doak 4; wild pitch, Eller; balk, Doak; losing pitcher, Marquard; um- pires, Rigler and Moran; time of game, 1:47. LION’S SHARE FOR GOVT. Uncle Sam to Be Enriched by $100,- 000 from Big Fight. Washington, June 28.—How Sam will come by the lion’s share of the nw&mpu of the Dempsey- CarpentléF fight at Jersey City, Sat- in a formal ¢ by the bureau The estimate of Uncle urday, was explained statement issued tod of iInternal revenue. the total to be received by the gov- ernment waa $400,000, of which $160,000 would come direct from the estimated gate receipts of $1,600,000. Dempsey's estimated share of tha gate receipts, $300,000, would yield the government $137,510 in income and surtax, the statement said, while trom Carpentier's share of $200,000 the government would receive $77,- 500, In addition cent. tax on ers who resell more than fifty cents lished price would have to pay half of their profit to the government, it was sdded. Profits reccived by the promoters, 1eteree, timekeepers, spar- ring partners, the principals in the minor bouts which precede the main event and even the eontractors who erected the great stadium would have to account for their fncome in their tax returna it was explained. Besides all of these sources of rev- enue the statement mentioned also to the direct ten per the gate receipts brok- tickets at a price of »ove the estab- and couldn't get warmed. I soon iearned that Levinsky was easy to avoid. I had not the slightest trouble getting away from his occasional leads and went back to my corner after the round with the utmost con- fidence. “You will have to make him fight or it will be a bad exhibition,” Des- comps told me between the rounds. I went out in' the second round re- volved to make Levinsky fight if he would. I thought I would try and find just how much he had. I gave h‘m an opening and he was quick to take it because he had to. I didm't even feel the blow. Then I decided to go after him. He covered up every time I led and held in the clinches. 1 knew it would take time to finish him that way as he might be able ‘o keep covered for seven or eight rounds. I then tried to coax him into me by leaving myself wide open. Several times I dropped my arms to my side and stuck out my jaw but he would not accept the invitation. He knew very well the first time he did it he would g0 out for the full count. In the third round I felt much better. I was be- ginning to get warm. He was hitting me once in a while but they were all glancing blows and I didn't even fee! them. I started after him with des- peration when some of the spectators started to hiss but he was cleverly keeping away and covering as a skil- tul boxer. In the fourth round I ended the fight. It wasn't one particular blow although I believe I got in my most effective work with my right hand. I backed him into a corner and just hammered him to the floor of the ring with a succession of rights and lefts. The fight ended and I was the world’s light heavyweight champion, 1 held a world's title for the first time and quite naturally I was elated. Therefore I was surprised when the papers criticised the contest and called it a “fixed fight.” I just thought at the time—"Georges Carpentier iIf you had to resort to a fake to win from a fighter like Levinsky you wouldn't he in the ring.” I am sure that the majority of the spectators knew it wasn’t a fake match. Some said that Levinsky went down before he was out, quitting a: it were, but I know he didn't. How- ever, those things are all forgotten. I do want to say to my .JAmerican friends that the wide open style I used against Levinsky is not my natur- al style. T dropped my guard to tempt him. I wanted him to come into me but he jvowldn’t. Quitd naturally T won't éfpose my- <elf against Dempsey. It was late in October when I de cided to return to France to spend the Christmas holidays at heme. The agreement had been sighed with Dempsey and my purpose in coming to America had been accomplished. Before leaving I promised the Amer- icans I would return to fight Demp- sey although many of them said: “There he goes. We'll never see him again.” I am glad now that everything has been arranged for the meeting with Dempsey and that I have been able to show my good friends that we were sincere in all our talk. CARP NOT WORRIED Georges Does Not Appear to be Con- cerned in the Slightest Over Result of Saturday’s Contest. Manhasset, N. 1, June 29.—As the day for the world's championship bout draws near everybody in the chal- lenger's camp is getting nervous ex- cepting Georges, ahd he alone appears to be worrying about as much as a «chool boy getting ready for a picnic. He wants to go and is having lots of fun making preparations. Outside of this he has not displayed the least Lit anxiety. The escape from the crowd of visitors yesterday afternoon was not made so much because Georges was nervous but because of his camp associates. His - friend, Pierre Mallett, who has increased his cigarette consumption 50 per cent in ‘he last few days, plotted to get away because he did not want Georges to’ bc bothered. 3 Manager Descamps has begun to wring his hands and pulls his hair, and Trainer Wilson has betrayed a slight irritability. ’ Georges' only worry is . his short hair. Since his blond pompadour was clipped by the barber of Manhassel he has been wearing a cap. He runs s hands over the top of his head and seems amused at the sensation in his fingers. Today Carpentier entered into the final stage of training and he expects to beé on edge when he calls a halt to- miorrow afternoon. DEMPSEY DENI Sl"’Ll'l'. Champion Says He and Kcarns Are . Not as Odds. Atlantic City, Juno 29.—Rumora | are flying around hére that Dempsey had broken with Manager Kearni and that Kearns had packed his baggage and departed for New York, and that Dempsey had persistently violated all instructions as regards training. ! “There isn't a word of truth in them,” Dempsey stid last night. “Kearns is in New York on business and all of his baggsge is still here.
