He won it over Bombardier Wells, the British fighter. In tleir first meeting in Brussels Charpencier triumphed in the fourth round. Later in London he landed victory in exactly seventy- three nds. These successes over Wells made him undisputed leader of | Europe in the heavyweight class. The fact that Charpentier was then but eighteen yvears old and weighed seventy pounds less than his oppo- nent' made his victories the more re- arkable. Corncau, as. his trainer, came in for no little giory. Charpentier's admirers thought the world's championship ~ was . easily within his reach. 1 Then the war broke out. Charpentier and Corneau both. went into the French army, the former with his_regiment. In Corneau's regiment elghty. sol- diers failed to tcome up to standard, physically. Corneau suggested sys- tematic work to develop these men. The suggestion was not' adopted. Cor- neau was a private. . A little later Corneau had a chance with the fifteen-year-ola son of a French colonel to show what his method of traininz could accomplish. Tmmediately his proposal to take hold of the eighty deficient men in his regiment was accepted, and he started in to work. \ Corneau first “put on” a boxing mateh between French soldiers. Then matches between French and Ameri- can soldiers.
