HULLINGER PARIS, Apri} 27.—#rench sports mon are going easy in putting up real cash on Georges Carpentier, al tho the majority still think their fa vorite will beat Dempsey. Virtually Bo French money has yet been forth- coming. Prominent fans say they are waiting for odds, that French sports are not so cock: wre about the fight as they were some time back. Victor Breyer, editor of L'Echo des Sporta, one of the leading athletic papers of France, puts it in this fash- fon: “There \s no doubt that the aver. Ame American boxer is much better than the average European bozer. However, it is also unquestioned that Carpentier is much above the average continental boxer, It re- mains to be seen whether he is high enough above the level fo make up for the general superiority of the American,” Breyer refuses to pick a winner, because he has never seen Dem “Amerea generally undervalue Carpentier,” he said, “He has far, more strength, punch And endurance | than he is given credit for.” COLLEGIANS ALL PLAY COLUMBUS, O,, April 27.—-More than 1,000 students are now playing baseball hore at Ohio State as a part of their recreation.
