CHAMP EASILY RATTLED, SAYS FRENCH BOXER Georges Believes Dempsey’s Weakness Is in Lack of Judgment When Hard Pressed. ADMITS HE’S SLUGGER By GEORGES CARPENTIER. (H'rlttfn exprMHly for International Service and London Sunday Express.) LONDON. Dec. 16.—“And I am glatl to knr.tr you.” This was how Jack Dempsey greeted me when we met to sign articles to fight for the boxing championship of the world. Which was very different from what I ha<l expected and was led to believe. 'I had pictured Dempsey as a Mg. roaring fe’low. with little personal charm. Intolerant rather, not nice, a stranger to softness and what passes for common courtesies. I made the pleasant discovery that, outside the ring at least, he is Just a human, well-ordered young man, softly spoken, extremely pleasant In a quiet, reserved way, ami altogether opposite to what I had prepared myself for. At least on fifty occasions, when alone, I had seen him. as represented -by the fiim. In his fight with Willard, fierce, vicious, terrible, merciless, punching into helplessness the biggest, heaviest man I have ever seen. That was the only Dempsey I knew until I met and spoke to him on my last visit to America. My opponents have been mntiv and of a widelv different stamp. Bombardier Wells, almost effeminate. Billy Papke and Frank Klaus, cruel, without imagination. just fighting men ; Jeanette, a black man, who In his nature is white; Gunboat Smith, conceited, reckless of speech; Joe Beckett, good, honest, strong: I.evinsky with a jaw of Iron and immensely courageous—but never a fighting man like Dempsey. There may be the brute lu Dempsey; I believe there is, as there surlv is In all of us; but he is not the monster he has been represented to be. Bather would I say that he has been misunderstood : for he has a mind, a soul and an intense liking for life that Is not of the ring. XO TALK OF FIGHT.
When we came to attach our signatures to the contract -the most voluminous that has ever concerned two pugilists (it is made up of eighteen crowded folios which I, personally, found the utmost difficulty in dissecting and understanding)—Dempsey had no questions to ask. Like myself, he had sickened because of the long drawn-out negotiations, and the match was definitely made In a few minutes. Then it was that lie gripped me heartily by the hand and took me on one side to chat about things far removal from the hammering and butchering business this fight is expected to be. We did not talk one word of fight; we were Just two ordinary business men with many ideas in common. I do not think, by the way, that we shall meet in the ring before the first week of next July. In appearance Dempsey, who is eighteen months younger than myself, looks like an unusually big and strong lad. I was surprised at his boyishness, and he has the ways of a boy I should say that he has no liking for fuss and ceremony. and he is not given to boasting and bragging. There is nothing of the swsggerer about Dempsey, and I am certain that he has been misrepresented by the exaggeration which, all too often, creeps Into the boxing columns of his country's newspapers. Ne ther do I think he is a party to the thumping of the big drum which is thought necessary to impress upon the world that he is the greatest pugilist ever reared by h*s country. This is what I would call my pen p'cture of him: Complexion, dark: face, strong and r igged, without being brutal; general phys cal make-up, as nearly perfect us possible. He carries himself easily; there is nu-h spring In his wa'k. His fa'-e. which, although not finely chiseled. is not li';e that of Beckett, as you would perhaps imagine it to be from the published photographs or him. It advertises terseness and determination, yet when he allows a smile to play about It ft almost a kind, sympathetic face. Certainly it is an arresting and engaging face. There. i much about Dempsey that would cause you to pick him out of n crowd: he is so obviously powerful and serious and fit—h is not of the Brnadwrv. So far he is unspoiled, a healthy, natural man, who. by ready assimila tlon of what he has seen and heard and read, has more than average Intelligence. He does not talk a great deal; when he does talk he reveals the practical, the common-sense mind His belief In himself Is supreme, but the success he has won In the hardest sport school a man can pass through justifies that belief Any man who can win first place In tha American s'hoo] of fighting must be conscious of his greatness, and he must he n believer In himself. But Dempsev is no advertiser of himself, and when I left him he swore, that we were pals. It would never be dreamed that Dempsey was higblv strung, that he had nerves. But of this I am certain, lie does not heat himself | r ,to fidgetiness ns does Bombardier Wells; neither Is he a man who fumbles ns does Beckett; but he. h-*s that restlessness of manner that denotes the highly-strung temperament. He Is a young man In a hurry; he must rush and tear; that which he embarks upon be must do quickly, and It Is this weakness for helte.r-skeiterlng that has heightened my confidence that when we meet I shall take from him the world's title.
GREW "BATTLED" IX GOLF PLAY. I would explain. One of the first things he ventured upon after making the match was a proposition that we should have a game of golf. I pleaded that my game was very poor. He was Impatient; he would not listen. I had to play. So we went to the links. If he made an In different shot his raininess would leave him: plainly did I see that If he hnd difficulty in doing any one given thing he would get ruffled and rattled, and mb I followed and studied him closely I threw my mind hark to the picture of his fight with Willard, which I had seen so many times. In that contest he had Willard helpless almost right away, and when he saw that he had not finished him completely In the first round he was a raging fire'; innd because he could not do that which he realized was easy to do—knock out Willard, who had no sort of defense .ind whose chief virtue was his Immense size. Dempsey beat me easily at golf. I wgs nowhere, but although he must have known that he was very much my master. he developed irritability and not a little wildness when he made shots which he considered were not worthy of hlin. I formed tiie inn resslon that if things did not go his way Ids balance is uncertain, and I must confess that the discovery gave dk much pleasure. I know precisely what I shall be up against when I get into the ring with him. We shall- still be the Dais we were on the links, but with Dempsey, ns with myspif it will h a fight to the last gasp. He will eome for me with the same sggressneness as he entered into the game of golf: he will rush and tear; he will feel that he is strong; he will try for victory with a furious haste. Dempsey, if X understand him rightly, will gamble his all on his splendid power. As for myself—well, I have a feeling that I will triumph, as I did against the English champion. Beckett. It is not I who will insist upon strength against strength, for I am free to admit that in a test of sheer brute power the odds would be on laempsey. I shall seek to make a happy combination of boxing and fighting, and if I succeed in doing th's I shall bring back to my country the championship of the world, and I shall have realized the greatest ambition of my life. This in conclusion: The exact amount of the purse is JSIO.OOO; Dempsey is to get three fifths and myself the remaining two-fifths. Robett Edgren, the wellknown American boxing writer. Is to nominate the referee and judges. I am not barred from engaging in any contests before I meet Dempsey, but at the moment I do not intend to have anything more serious than a small affair jat Monte Carlo some time this winter. jfCoyright, 1320, International News m Service.)
Dempsey Improves Chances for Scraps by Delayed Victory At Least, That Is One Solution of Champ’s Slowness in Brennan Bout. BY JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Dec. 16—Alexander wept when there were no more fields for him to conquer. Jack Dempsey applied twentieth century methods to n situation similar to that fnced by the famous conqueror of ancient history. He set about creating new fields, and thereby out-Alesed Alexander. This Is the popular solution today to the Deinpsey-Brennan mystery. In short, it was good business for Dempsey to knock out handsome Bill In twelve rounds, whereas a three-round knockout would have been bad business for a number of plausible reasons. Having defeated every heavyweight of class on this side of the Atlantic, Dempsey was faced with the prospect of long periods of idleness. And no one gets paid for being idle, not even a champion. Therefore, to encourage the talent, why wasn't It good business to give the crowd at Madison Square Garden just what it wanted, a knock-out and a run for its money ? Dempsey gave the crowd both and at the same time made the moving pictures of the bout worth while. The pictures will be worth a fortune In New York State alone, and abroad they will be worth many thousands of dollars because the fight fans of Europe are eager to see Dempsey in action. Meanwhile no one is taking anything away from Brennan. It is freely admitted that the Chicago battler put up the best fight of his career and lie proved himself rugged by assimilating a mighty sound beating. Dempsey is scheduled to leave here tomorrow for California. Accompanied by Manager Jack Kearns the champion will entrain for Los Angeles, where he will rest through the holidays and then start training for his coming bout here with Jess Willard. Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, has agreed to defend his title again. Tex Kickurd today announced that Leonard has been matched to meet Richie Mitchell of Milwaukee at Madison Square Garden, Jan. 14.
BILLIARDS BENEFIT GAME TONIGHT. With the final scheduled contests lu the State three-cushion billiard tourney nearing play, five men are in a position to put In a bid for the honor. Asa matter of fact, it is expected there will be several ties for the prize positions. This afternoon two contests were to be played, each having an Importaant bearing on the final standing, but the evening contest between Vogler and Merrlkan is the one in which billiard fans are interested. It has been customary at Cooler's billiard room each year to have an exhibition for the Elks' Christmas fund. Tonight Harry Cooler will donate a Jointed cue. which will go to the highest bidder. Lew Shank will act as auctioneer, while Leonard Quill will make a short talk. The money derived from the auction and contributions will go toward the Christmas fund. All scats for the night contest will he sold for bo cents. BELGIAN BEATS COLLINS. CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—1n the third of his series of exhibition blllard matches. Edouard Horein.iu., the phenomenal Belgian IS - 2 and lb-1 player, defeated Percy Collins, national amateur balkline champion, 40J to 178. averaging 30 10-13, with high runs of SO, 75 and 73. Collins had high run of 29, averaging II 10-13. Horemsns was not in as good form as on Monday afternoon, when he averaged 133 1-3, with high run of 370. but he again showed some tine nursing Collins played some good billiards, but was unable to get away for u big run. CITY TIIREE-CCBHIONB. Mitchell defeuted Mallory In 105 In nings. 45 to 43, last night at the Boaril of Trade parlors. Mitchell produced a high run of three and Mallory topped this mark with a four.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.— Now that the fang have had a breathing spell and • whosls" has met "whosis,” the I>emp-sey-Brennan match has simmered down to this—Dempsey was not himself. Jack Kearns, after the fight, smilingly remarked that Dempsey's poor show lug would make the odds on coming fights better. Jack said something. Today any number of fight followers give you the laugh as you mention the champion's name, and say: “Wait till Willard or Carpentler get that guy.’’ That maybe so, men, but WAIT! The next time you see Jack Dempsey he will probably be himself. He will be the slugging, fearless, pitiless caveman of the ring that he was at Toledo j and at Benton Harbor Tom Jones, former manager of Jess Willard, was still wondering at the Dempsey angle today. “I never saw Dempsey In such a poor fight before,” piped Tom, “as much as I hate that big Willard 1 feel sure he’d have stopped Dempsey In five rounds the other night. Jack didn't seem to have anything but a dehire to fight. Ho had that, but he couldn't tight." Tipton Defeats Elwood Five Before Large Crowd ELWOOD, Ind., Dee. 16.—Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a basket-ball game in this city the Tipton High School team defeuted Elwoood here last night by a 26-to-8 score. Two special inierurban cars brought the Tipton rooters to Elwood, and the two rival cities gave their athletes plenty of support. Th< teams appeared evenly matched In the early stages of the game and the contest was feutured by close guardtng. Tbe goal shooting of Coy "nd Munston gave Tipton the lead. ihe half ended with the score Tipton. 12; Elwood, 6. In the secopd half th* Tipu n athletes bombarded the goal, while the Elwood players could not find the basket, their playing being halted by the defensive work of Lrierbaok and Hliiman, the Tipton guards.

One of the highest team totals of the season for a single game was posted by the Eyes of the Elk League last night. It was a 1,071. Speicher led the firing with a 266, but Myers, Irish aud King also went well over the double century mark. The Eves lost their first two games with the" Tails, Phillips and Uemmeter doing the heavy jobs for the winners. The Shine Bones sure shot a squad of consistent sticks. They got scores of 9R't. 983 and 990 to win three from the Autlers. Bailey, Gordon and Miller each got a brace of the coveted counts for the Bones The latter started the pot boiling with ti 245. Gordon's average for the evening was an even 200. Weasels shot a fairly good club for the Antlers, but 109 counts looked like peewees to the “Brother Bills" last uigbt. Hardly less brilliant than the Shin Bone totals were those of the Hoof combination. The Hoofs got 939, 9.19 and 960 to beat the Teeth three times. Broden ranked up with the fellows of real class after his work with the Hoofs was completed. He garnered counts of 210. 210 and 203. Fred McCullough closed with a 231 for the Hoofs, whereupon Jess Pritchett came back with a 233 for the Teeth. Meyer got his hooks near the one man laurels when he wound up with a 254 shot for the Hides. He also had a 215. The r’des took two games from the Ears w. o 900 totals They tied the second round with 893 each. One doubting the fact that the city tournament is past and forgotten need only to look at the Elk scores. It's always like that after the big show curtain drops Then take a squint at the Capitol No. 2 League doings. Patterson of the l'erner Tigers collected 244, 233 aud 181. Hornberger of the same team had score* of 203, 198 and 198, while McCarty, an

GREENWOOD, Ind., Dec. 18.- The Grwcnwood Independents suffered their second defeat at the hinds of tbe Latifer five of iDdlunnpoll* here last night In one of the fastest games ever offered local fans. The count was 19 to 17. Greenwood led by a slight margin nt the close of the half, but in the second period tbe Lnuter team opened up a speedy offensive, with Law as the tnnin eog, and Jumped Into the lead Just a few minutes before the battle closed. Franklin Prepared for Real Scrap With Normal FRANKLIN, Ind., Dec. 16— Little Is known of the strength of the Central Normal five carded here tonight in the final pre-vacation game for the Baptist*, but Coach Thurber is taking it for granted that the Danville athletes are of high caliber and has worked his men into shape for a real battle. Several defects In the team play of the Franklin five that stood out plainly in the Butler Law School contest last week have been cleared out by faithful practice and local fans nre expecting the team to stack up much better in the second game of the season. Captain Wood, whose work against the Lawyers was an outstanding feature, will lie the main cog of the Franklin defense tonight, with either Campbell or Strohi as his running mate. like probably will jump renter, and Kingsoliver and Gilmore will tnke care of the forward stations.. Thurber also has a good second string squad which probably will be seen in auction before the contest closes. Evansville Team Easy , Pickings for Indiana BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 16.—Indiana got away to an early lead and met little opposition from the Evansville “Y” basket machine here last night, winning by a 44 to 15 score.

Dean also tossed five goals from the foul line. The count stood 21 to 0 In favor of the Crimson at the close of the half. Feller, Matthews and Moore led nn Evansville rally late In the, second period, but the visitors were halted before their total became anyway dangerous to the Indiana lead.

TRADING FEVER ON IN MAJORS More Deals Expected as American Leaguers Gather for Meeting. NEW Y'ORIC, Dec. 16.—American League magnates and managers began drifting Into town today for the annual December meeting, scheduled to convene tomorrow at the Belmont Hotel.

Jones, who Is a Junior at Butler and the only "B" man on the squad this year, has been playing a stellar game at center and guard for the Pagemen, his work being an important factor in eveu-y game played so far by the Bulldogs. Coach Page today was to put tho finishing touches on the team work of his athletes, prior to their stiff barnstorming trip through tbe Christman holidays. The trip opens tomorrow’ night xvith a contest with the Purdue outfit at Lafayette.

BOILERMAKERS NOT SO SURE LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Dec. 18.—Purdn will open the basket-ball season here tomorrow niEht by taking on the Butler five of Indianapolis. Coach Lambert has been working with his squad for the past three weeks in getting it ready to start the season. Captain White is the only member on last year’s squad that has reported this season. The Boilermakers will go up against a seasoned five under the tutelage of Pat Page, who has made quite a record as a coach in the net game. Hiser and White probably will start the game as guards, with Treat or Chafee at center and Holwerda, Eversman or Monlcal in the forward positions. Rose Poly has been secured to take the place of Notre Dame, who, due to the death of George Gipp, cancelled their game for next Monday. The Boilermaker squad will take a barnstorming trip during the holidays, playing four games, two of them in Indianapolis. The first game will be with the Em-Roes on New Year’s eve. The following day, Jan. 1, the Cincinnati Gym five will be played on their court. Jan. 3, Earlham will be played at Richmond. A return game will be played with Butler Jan. 4, In their gym. Although the outlook for a flying start by the Boilermaker squad is not promising, Coach Lambert no doubt will have a team that will come near to the pace of last year's “Victory Five” after a few games.
