After we Americans came home Carpentier in the following two years trimmed the best boxers on the other side, “A big slice of Ca: cess,” continued Lewis, manager, little Francois Descamps. To Georges he is manager, adviser, trainer and second. A former boxer himself, Descamps knows all the fine points of the game. In my way of thinking he is the shrowdest second that ever handled a man in the ring. He and Carpentier make a clever ring combination. “This arrangement will give the Frenchman a big advantage. Then it must not be forgotten that Carpentier, after boxing eleven years, has a great edge over Dempsey in experience. “with everything summed up, you then think Carpentier will be the next world’s champion if he fights Demp- ?" we asked, ‘Aibwolutely,”” concluded Lewis, Georges Canpentier himself has little to ay whout his chances with Dempsey. The Frenchman was mis- quoted when he was made to say he would beat Dempaey in six rounds. What Carpentier did say, when ar- riving here this week, was that a bout could hardy go over six rounds when two aggressive fighters like he and Dempsey met.

HE fourth week of training for the New York American League baseball club concludes this afttrnoon with the sixth game of the spring series between the Yanks and Dodgers. Unless the Hugmen can finally break through the excellent defense of Uncle Robbie's wonderful pitch- ing staff they will be in a fair way of being discredited somewhat in the eyes of New York fandom for the three games scheduled at Ebbets Field on the eve of the championship opening, Only three games remain to be played here, and five on the wa home—eight contests in all. With five straight to the credit of the Dodgers it will be easily appreciated that the Yankees must be on their toes to make even a creditable showing be- fore the return home. And there is always the danger that some of the remaining battles must be postponed on account of bad weather, The games with Brooklyn, however, should result in no end of good to New York. If there ever was danger of overconfidence it must have beer knocked into a cocked hat by the ®>- ries of reverses so far. And then the Yanks are getting from the Dodgers quite as good pitching as they will ever get in the American League Robingon is a wizard in bringing out all that is good in a pitcher.

It is next to a dead certainty that Derrill Pratt will be seen at second e the early part of the season, at least, though his arm is not just right at present.

It has been decreed, however, that he remain in bed at least a week or ten days. He may not even be able to leave with the club a week from to-morrow.
