Business—fighting, Ftrst obliga tion—to polish off one Battling Levinsky early in October, The public perhaps gained the wrong impression 6¢ the Frenchman from his first visit. They figured that he had come to use his glover while his contract only read that he was to make movies. But Carpentier has returned with hin fighting clothes on this time, He is neither blatant nor silent concern ing his future plans. If he can beat Levinaky then he'll discuss the mat ter of signing articles to meet other Americans, including none other than Jack the Giant Killer. CHEEKS TANNED His health seems to have tm proved with the rest he has taken in bis villa near Paria The pale neas of his cheeks, which caused much comment when he walked down the gangplank last March, is replaced by the tan of the “outdoors ish” man. Nor does he smile so much as be did on the firet trip over. Fourteen trunks take care of his wardrobe now, while before it re quired about forty. He expressed himself as being tired of the cere monies which bis presence In New York called for, and haa gone to Freddie Welsh's health farm in “| Jersey to prepare for his American ring debut with the trial horse— Levineky.

Gymnasium work and spar ring will fortify a boxer, but It takes the real stuff to stay between the ropes with an opponent, is the way the French hero sizes up the fu ture.

Actually they lost the opportunity yesterday by dropping their last game with the |Giants here. Brooklyn lost a half |game by n§t playing while the Gianta were creeping up. Brooklyn finishes the season with seven more games—five with the Giants and two with Boston, New York has nine to play and Cincinnati }12, The Robins can cinch the pen | nant with two wins over the Giants, lor two wins from Boston and one |from the Giants.

If experienced linesmen were aa plentiful at the University of Wash- ington grid turnouts these days as veteran backfield men are, Seattle grid followers would be almost safe in predicting the Coast champion ship for the Sun Dodgers, At the present time Ray Eckmann, Erve Dailey veteran 1919 haifs, are on the job, and “Red” Hynderman, fullback, is also turning out. Young Harper, Ham Green and Prim, frosh backs last year, show promise, as does Johnny Wilson, who is being tried out for quarter.
