THE EVENING WURLD, Carp My Georg CHAPTER XVIII. HE result of the fight with Willle Lewis filled me with such a greqt amount of confidence in myself that I felt able to achieve any- thing in the ring. I was only olghteen and the exuberance of boyhood still as with me, 1 suppose. It was mad- thing, foolish boy that I was, but I urged Descamps to accept when there came @ question of establishing a mid- dieweight champion to succeed Stan- ley Ketche! through a match between myself and Frank Klaus. I had been growing very rapidly weight poundage, but felt that 1 coui get myself Sown to the required weight with little trouble. I suc- ceeded, but how I suffered! ‘There is no discredit to Klaus inmy statements. I was not the real Car- pentier in the ring that day, but he doubtless would have been effective anyway, for I looked out over my yead and was foolish. The terrific ef- ‘ort I went through to reach the re- quired limit squeezed the very soul from me and this, added to the ham- mering the visiting pugilist gave me, made me a very sick Georges after the bout. I-wonder if Americans really appre- ciate what a terrfple fight Kiaus and T had that day at Dieppe. Here you probably read thet the French prodigy had found in an American his mas- ter, but I often wonder that I ever drew on a glove again, for Klaus, who Cat,” was terrible. Klaus was a fearful man to gaze upon. Broad of shoulder, long of arm, and with a face that looked and felt as if it were granite chipped to human semblance, he presented a finn ap- pearance. His chest was covered with hair, his legs tapered beautifully from his hips, he ‘had tremendous musoular power, and he knew how to use it. “Bear Cat,” I mused as I looked jdm over from my corner of the ring “My friend, they have nicknamed you weil.” I regained confidence in myself as we faced each other for the first round, for it came to me at once as our eyes met and our fists were raised that I was by far the better boxer. Klaus was typioally American in his methods. He came forward at all! tomes, his arms coming from his sides CHAPTER XIX. AUS tried to finish me itn the eighth round with his famous K “windmill,” but the speedy Georges was all right at this time | could duck and glide away. Three times he rushed me during this round, and, although he hurt me sorely, he could not bring into play the strength needed for the finishing blow. Again in the tenth he tried this ex- Pedient, but again I eluded him. In the ereventh he again started his “windmill” tactics, and he did almost accomplish his purpose here, for one of his flying fists caught my jaw with such force that for a moment every- thing went black and 1 believed the end hpd come. But it cleared in a mo- ment and I was Georges again, fight- ing Werder and harder. f new I was in for a terrific fight | and I battled with fire in my soul. I was outclassing my opponent in the metter of points scored, but he could hit so much harder than I, and my poor punches seemed as though they were striking a wall of rock. 80 discouraging 1 could have wept. | And Descamps was in hysterical mod, for i perceived almost as mg middle im fearful fashion.

I recovered some in the fifteenth and rushed Klaus off his feet. He was bewildered at my speed, and I sent my punches home to his head T closed his left eye in this round and *rought blood from his mouth. My New advantage swelled my heart, | i began to have more hope. I really thought at one time that I might win in this round, but, alas, it was not to be. My joy was short-lived and so was my advantage, for Klaus regained the fead in the next round, From then on it was his fight, OHICAGO, May 19.—By pitching the kind of all that made him a ter ror t@ all opposing batsmen in ¢ gone by, Urban Faber yesterday de feated the Yankees in the openi game of their series here. ys times he had complete control of the situation, The score was: Chicago, 12; New York, 2. This defeat sent the Yankees tumbling into second place by virtue of Cleveland's victory over Philadelphia, Tho Chicago tatters hit the ball al- most at will, knocking out twelve hits and chasing two pitchers out of the box.

Gibson has whippal a team into shape that looks like one of the classiest ball clubs that have ever performed at Bbdcts Kield. With all credit that due the Smoke Raters, in their overwhelmin, and impressive defeat of the Dodgers, the home team was not playing the same grade of ball that won the National League pennant a ye r 0. ‘With Pittsburgh's excellent show- ing, the Robins seemed to be still sub- merged in the “slump” that was in- atrumental in losing three out of four games to the St. Louis Cardinals They played listless baseball, ran bases like schoolboys and their hit- and pitching was nothing short of amusing. “Dutch” Ruether started on the mound for the Robins, but he was recalle€ by Robinson in the second inning after the visitors had made five hits off his southpaw slants and sent four runs across the rubber. Bailey, a recruit, assumed the pitching burden and did it creditably for five! innings in which Pittsburgh dded five more runs to thelr total. Mohart replaced Bailey in the seventh after Hood batted for the latter pitoher in the sixth inning. Two runs were driven across off his pitching in the last three innings. | |Home Run by Sm Aa Te Giants’ Rally Gives Them First Battle With Great Chicago Rivals. | Giant fans witnessed their favorite | team win again yesterday, when John- jny Evers's brood dropped the opening jkame of thelr veries in New York.
