March 26 GEOIiaES CA.Ul'i2XTlHIl put on his first boxing exhibition in the United States hero early this morning. It was at a rather odd hour for M. Carpenticr to put on the rIovcs, to be exact, nt 12:42, but the Frenchman wns "forced" into the match, nnd he went through with it when his European crown was "threatened." Moro than 12,000 sportsmen, includ ing 6ome of the most prominent follow ers of athletics, saw Carpenticr prance through two two-minute rounds with Major Anthony .T. Drexci ("Tony") Biddle. of Philadelphia, in what proved to be the feature of an interesting pro irrara arnnged by the International Sporting Club of America ns a formal welcome to the European heavyweight champion, war hero of France nnd ring idol of his country. Following several spocches and box ing exhibitions, Carpenticr. who was seated at the middle o the table for guests of honor, was called to the ring, pitched in the middle of the grand bail room of the Commodore Hotel. After a lengthy introduction by Joe Hum phreys, the latter was Instructed to challenge Georges on behalf of Major filddle, who is president of the Inter national Boxing Club. Aecepls the Dcfl Humphreys tried his best to make Carpentier understand, using both hands when his tongue failed him nnd Anally an interpreter had to be called to the rescue. The Frenchman abso lutely refused to box the Philadelphia Bportsman. Then Carpentier was made Regret Prevention of Admitting Carpentier A Legion Post Member New York, March 20.

This acceptance of Kiddle's dial lcnge came rather ns surprise be cnuse papers in this city published yes tcrdav that a moving-picture company which had the Frenchman under con tract to pose for a scries of pictures had protested uny ring exhibitions by Car penticr. lSut Georges nnd "Tony' went to it anyway. Thev stud their drees coats nnd col lars in the ring, rolled up their shirt sleeves nnd for n few seconds it looked as if Carpentier nnd Diddle would mingle in n rough -mid-tumble futfight. But Philadelphia Jnck O'Brien nnd Francois Dcscamps finally appeared iu the respective corners and tied the gloves on the gladiators, each of whom wore patent leather shoes, trousers and stiff shirt. Ea-sy for Gcorgo Carpenticr won the first round by a mile, but Biddle showed ndvantagc in the second round, because Georges didn t make nny effort to hit the Philadel phian, so n good draw wouldn't hurt either man. us some sports writers say when a pair of kids put up a good bat tle. At the liniih neither was hurt with the exception of Tex Riekard, the promoter, who rcferceu tne oout. ana he was suffering from a smarting nose ns n result of an intentional jab landed thereon by the frisky Frenchman. Jn the first round, Ciirpentier, stand ing way up on his toes almost like a toe-dancer, skipped around the ring showing all sorts of speed. He was down in a crouch for a fraction of a second, then in the nir off the floor, jabbing, hooking nnd right-crossing with lightning speed. Of course, Georges was pulling his blows Biddle tried his utmost to knock Cnrpcntier's block off. but the idol of France never stood still long enough for "Tony" to land .Tut befqre the bell Bounded Cnrpentic landed a right cross similar to that ttel by Benny Leonard, nnd then fell into a clinch, holding up the major. After demonstrating in the first frame how clever lie was on the offensive, re minding many of Johnny Kllbano be cause of his boxing on his toes almost continually, Carpentier showed in tbo second round thnt he was just ns crafty on the defense. He ducked, Bide-, stepped, shifted his head from side to side, making no effort to striko back, while Biddlo tried In vnin lo land with a haymaker, or something like thut. "Tony" missed nbout 00 per cent of his blows, ocorlng with four wallops they were when the clever Frenchman wns going away. Nevertheless, Biddle wns credited with the round, wiving himself from n defeat bv the man Who is here to box for the world s henvy weight title. "I am very svorrv I cannot speak English well." I thank joii for your welcome nnd hospitality, f hope to tight Mr. Dcmpscy. I hope that the btt man wins. I thank you." This wns the nalnfullv. rt well-spoken, speech made by Georges when he wn introduced by Toastmnter Major ueti eral John F. O'llvan. of the Twenty seventh Division, amid thunderous ap plause. After his exhibition with the gloves, which apparently did not wind Carpen tier in the least, ho returned to the honored guests' table, donned his collar and coat, then very mihvcI.v puffed a cigarette. Dride at Dinner Seated up in llie bulrony, amid n party of rive women va Georges'" bride, dressed in n Inrge black hat aud pale blue silk dress, and she con tinually waved her right hand nt her smiling spouse. Ciirpentier kept a steady gaze upon his beautiful wife al most continmillv through the procedure of the reception. And when Georges went through with his bout with Major Biddle she did not leave her scat. It was the firt time -he had von her handsome Georpes perform with the gloves. Mme. Carpentier was presented with u bouquet and lot of applause. Among the speakers hesiihs Major Biddle and Major General O'ltvnn were Gut7on Borglum. the sculptor, nnd Gaston Licbcrt. French consul general, who represented Ambassador Jules Jiisserand. M. Llebert said, in part: "It will be n mugniticent mid great fight (a Dcmpscy -Carpentier bout), our two great countries aud two na tions, and I do not care whether Ciir pentier wins or not. The winner will be a real man." Following the banquet, I.eon L. Itains, who is to promote boxing bouts nt the Philadelphia National Lenguo bnlt park, attempted to sign up Car penticr for n bout. Ho was ready to post a forfeit of $2000 as good faith for a match, Francois Dcscamps, the Frenchman's manager, refused to sign uny papers, but said If Carpenticr would box nny one beforo ho met Dempsey in America ho would appear in Philadelphia. A tentative date was set for Juno 7. There is no chance for n world's championship bout in 1020 between Dcmpscy and Carpentier, according to Ulcknrd, one ot the foremost bidders for tho contest. The French cham pion probably will not extend bis pres ent visit to the United States, Rickard paid todayt as he must return to Paris for n bout scheduled in August. This is sufficient to prevent his np penronco against Dcmpscy this year, the promoter added, explaining that for tho International bout to bo n financial success it would have to bo held in tbo open nnd ns Carpenticr will be busy until July he would not have enough time to train before the arrival of cold weather, Haoeratown Signs Pitcher Philips .
