r'S nil over. The big English bimbo we havo no hesitancy in cnlllnc him
a bimbo struck but one blow in his fight with Cleorgefl Carpentier In
Jjondon last night, nnd that was at the expiration of one minute and ten
neconds of battling, when be bit the lioor for the long count. All of the other
Wows were struck br the French champion, who distributed them all over the
countenance of Joe Ueckctt who van said to be the English heavyweight
Champion. ,
The battle was not a tv-u hided aftair. Judging trom reports, Carpcntler
played a monologue He took the leading part before the curtain dropped and
Beckett's only net was In assisting to turn out the lights.
Funny about these English rhamplont. One upon a time a gent mmed
Kill Squires came over here to wr-st the championship from Tommy Burns,
nnd lasted less thnn n round with the American. Eombardler Wells also tried
to mingle with our heavy M.t nnd Al Fnlzer knecl.ed bini from New York to
Iondon. The heat lei neter have amounted to much, but the lighter boys
always have made good.
Carpcnticr cow will be called the greatest boxer in the world outbldc of
Dempscy, but he has yet to show wjmethlng. His victory over Heckett waa
a hollow one nnd sme no line on his ability. Everybody looks good when he
a winning, and such is the case with Georges. True, he deserves the plaudits
el the multitude, but jou can't hand him much on last night's showing. He
Juit stepped before the burly Englishman, landed several left jabs and when
ftnopcnlnj presented itself whipped bis right to the chin, and Joseph met
the, floor coming up as he was going down. It was much caBier than working
with a sparring partner.
The victory was clean -cut nnd decisive nnd evidently made a hit with
the b!ghpriced audience. Even the I'rinco of AVales who, by the way, waa
the only celebrity introduced who did not challenge the winner cheered the
French chnmpion nfter Boikett had been swept up and flhocled to his corner.
Borne fan3 paid 125 per seat to sc the bout. We hope none arrhed late.

JOE knew what had happened, because after he haii been carried to
his corner one of Jits seconds said, "You're out, Joe." Joe dtdn't
' know whether he had been put out at first or second.
Victory of French Idol Is Popular
CAItPENTIER'S I"tory over Eeckett was a popular one. The ranch
man's work in the great war not only made him an idorin hU own coun
try, but also throughout the world. Few boxers had the nerve or the inclina
tion o gamble with death as did Carpentier Moreover, he turned his back
en a fortune and enlisted In the French army as a luntecr. He waa not yet
ef age when he donned the uniform
One cannot help but admire the nervy Frenchman In July, 1014, he
defeated Gunboat Smith in London and was acclaimed heavyweight champion
of Europe. We do not know whether he deserved the title or not, but anyway,
Georges was considered the greatest boxer across the water and was on the
road to mnke a big fortune. He was matched to meet Young Aheara and was
to receive the largest purse of his career. The future looked rosy and lined
"with gold; but in a few days the dogs of war began to growl and soon all
Europe was in a turmoil
On August 1 Carpentier forgot he ever boxed In n professional ring, forgot
he was embarking on a wonderful career; in fact, forgot everything but that
Ills country was at wnr and he must hasten home to serve her. He took the
first train to Dover, crossed the chnnnel and as soon as be arrived in Paris
, lafitened to the nearest recruiting office. Because he was a volunteer he was
to choos" his branch of service, and joined the aviation corps as a
private.
While he w ah a student at camp, Carpentier drove an automobile and was
tinder fire as a dinpntch bearer. He was an expert mechanic and drove his
wvn car, which he iind turned over to the French Government. Boon he waa
itfila to pilot an airplane and delivered dispatches by the air route. When he
fully qualified as an expert he was sent to the front line among aviators spe
cially selected for their bravery.
Carpentier never spared himself. At Douaumont Fortress he flew over the
German lines sometimes as low as 200 feet, directed the French artillery fire
and emerged unscathed. The wooden frame of his plane was riddled with
fcallts nnd the oiled rilk wings hung in shreds, caused by the leaden hail
and shrapnel. He was lighting the biggest battle of all time nnd the stake
was his own life Tor that piece of daring Carpentier received the Military
Medal, the highest war honor that can be given to any Frenchman. That was
bis third decoration.
Tj allowed
1
fJOT once did he flinch under fire and olwayi was the first to to'un-
teer for hazardous duty. Jle was not the French champion, but a
ir
soldier Killing and annous o risk his life for his country. He was
wounded several times, but always rone back for more. Oikc, when
f interviewed at the jtont, he said he liked fighting iu the atr more than
i fighting in the rmg because it was more interesting. That's the R UAh
1 tpirit.
Hero Refines to Box Until After the War
"lABPENTIER bad many opportunities to box in Paris while on a furlough
nnd receive large purses, but he steadfastly refused, ne said when be
enlisted that he would not don the gloves ugain in a professional battle until
the war was over, and he kept bis word. Several times, however, he boxed
for charity, and when it was suggested that he come over here to box VTUIard
he said he would go if the authorities permitted, but every penny of his share
of the purse must be turned over to the Trench Red Cross.
Georges needed money at that tim. He gave up a career which paid him
thousands of dollars tor eaib performance to work for a few francs a day.
In addition, he had lost every bit of his huge fortune, which had been invested
in coal mines in Lens H irtually was penniless and was contented to ro
taaln in that condition
Stories were cabled across the water that Carpentier was through as a
boxer, that he had been ruined by constant duty at the front, his wounds had
left: him in a weakened condition and it .would be a shame to pit bim against
-jven a second-rater. Georges, however, said nothing, continued to Berve his
country and waited for tho end of hostilities.
"When the armbtlec was signed he rtarted training. He went about it
quietly and soon surprised even himself. He had grown heavier and stronger
ad showed an all-arouud improvement. He had one fight, beating his man
easily, and then came the offer to box Beckett. At first the sporting world
Saughed, because it lemembered the old stories of how he had gone back
tfuxing tho war. Georges was not conceded even a Chinaman's chance with
t&? Englishman. But you never can tell, as they say.
Carpentier started to box in 1007, when he was but thirteen years old.
Jti 1000 he b,eat Charles Le Dour, the French bantam. A couple of jears
Jester be annexed the welterneigbt title and also defeated Harry Lewis, of
Ztilladelpuia, in twenty rounds la 1011. The next year he won his first big
Mat, KnocKing out aim oumvan, rjogusn miauiewugnt cnampton, In two
rounds. He won from Bombardier Wells, who towered above htm, after Wells
gad knocked him down twice and looked like a sure winner. Carpentier won
n the fourth round. i
'
ifEORGES, Uowrier, was not always successful, lie was knocked
U out by rrank Klaus and Billy Papke, and also fell before a pair of
1 unknowns at least they are unknotcn over Aero who fought under
the names of Ohria and Kid Shine. But ihat was when Georges was
young and inexperienced ,
Bout With, Jack Dempsey Is Doubtful
WILIt Carpentier ccr box Jack Dempaey? It's hard to tell. The French
man has Improved wonderfully, or is said to have Improved, but It is
aWMful If he would entertain a match with the champion seriously.
'' While ut To'edo at the Willard-Deinpscy disaster I heard teveral of the
Vr correspondents, like Damon Itunyon and Grantland IUce,- talking about
ibarpenUcr,
"I hope Carpentier never meets Dempsey in the ring," they said. "The
jfriadbman Is too good a fellow to be slaughtered, and he never would have a
ataacf with Jack. That match never should be permitted."
p" see
I 'tfllAT vift the ttntipitnt on July 4. Perhaps it has changed now,

t X Mjm sver uefort.

A new world b lecord and u new
Middle Atlantic record were fcet up last
night in the open bwimming meet held
tinder the auspices of the Meadowbrook
Club In the Columbia pool, Brood and
Columbia avenue. MHs GTtuidc Ar
felt. of the Meadowbrool! Club, put the
world's record in the women's 100-yard
back stroke by the boards, when s.hc
covered the five lengths of the pool 1c
he tim" of 1 minute -i -5 xecomlR.
The old mark was mudc by Ethelda
Bleibtrey, of New 'iork, in a Gotham
meet three weeks ago, at 1 :'M.
Three swimmers nt the meet last
night bettered the old marl: in thl"!
event, rather something new in the
art of record-breaking. Miss Irene
Guest, snimming unattached, who took
second honors in the race, coered the
course in 1:32 3-5, which n nearly
four seconds better than the old mark,
while Francis Clarke, of the Philadel
phia Turners, the third over the line,
covered tho distance in ' :32 4-5. The
reason for the great lowering of the
record is that the distance was only
recently changed frrfm lfiO yards,
standard, to 100 yards in this event.

of football enthusiasts that Glenn
Warner was through at the University

was announced thnt his present con

increased to four years, and Warner
signed to coach the Panthers until the
end of the 1023 football season.
The Blue and Gold did not lose a

but this year, with a manifestly Inferior
