credit from the speed, skill and punch?
ing power of* the Frenchman, but for
sll that, few in the big crowd believed
he would have any chance against
Dempsey'a grrater ruggedness. Car
poatier'J two best blows were a left
jab, followed by an overhand right to
the jaw, and on each occasion, as he
executed these punches, the dreamy
iook left his face, and his wild staring
eve9 seemed to cover two-thirds of
Lis countenance.
Speed, skill and power ho proved to
the crowd in spite of Levfnsky's leth?
argy. But to say that he proved his
right to stand on equal terms with ?
Dempsey is quite another story. But j
it was not his fault that he was unable |
to prove more, for the man that he j
battered to tho floor was merely aj
human punching bag facing the Inevi?
table without a struggle.

was counted agair.3t him, as was his
lack of a fii ishing punch.
Those who had seen Carpentier in
Ms training work-outs were convinced.
that the European champion carried a!
wicked punch, cue of tnose TNT af?
fair?. His quick knockout of Joe Beck?
ett, the lumbering British heavyweight, !
Bomt months ago proved that Carpen-'
tier knows how to hit. As to whether :
the Frenchman could "take it." that
was a far more open question. But
still, ?f Levinsky could not hand out j

Georges to assimilate a heavy beating. 1

You9II Have to Hand It to the Wife
By BRIGGS
Waterbury Horse
First in Feature
Race at Jamaica
Despite the threatening weather,
lovers of horse racing took advantage
of the holiday and jammed the course
at Jamaica yesterday. What the pro?
gram lacked in quantity it made up in
quality, and the fact that four first
choices came down in front sent the
crowd home with something on the
right side of the ledger.
The October Handicap, the feature
event of the afternoon, resulted in a
victory for Larry Waterbury's Sen
nings Park, the 7 to 10 favorite. M.
L. Schwartz's consistent performer,
Audacious, was second, and J. E.
Widener's old sulkcr, Naturalist, took '
the Short end of the purse. Johnny j
Dundee':-. War Mask, the o'nly other \
starter, trailed the field.
Seven were originally carded to go, j
1 ut Cirrus, Lord Brighton and Crom- j
well dodged the issue. As soon as i
the horses took their positions Roy j
Dickerson, who is substituting for j
Mars Cassidy, sent them away in a i
perfect line. When they settled i
down to running. Turner took ;
Naturalist to the front. Mooney i
dropped in behind him with Sennings j
Park, with War Mask right at his
head. Audacious, under a stout pull, j
was right at their heels.
There was no change in the posi- ;
tions until they started to make the
bend out of the back stretch. War
Mask had enough, at this point and '?
dropped back. Coming into the |
stretch Mooney gave Sennings Park ;
his head and the colt moved up
rapidly, caught Naturalist after get?
ting straightened out, and opened up
a gap of two lengths. This he main- |
ti.ir.ed to to the sixteenth pole, Where
Audacious made a strong bid for the !
purse, but Sennings Park haxl enough j
left to stave off his challenge and |
won by a length an.l a half. The
weight began to tell on Naturalist and j
he staggered in a like distance be?
hind Audacious.
The holiday crowd started well
when John Sanford's Conine galloped
away with the opening race, a six
furlong dash for two-year-old fillies.
Conine was a well played 7 to 10
favorito, and after waiting in behind
Mnvourneen until well in the stretch
came on and won as she pleased by
two open lengths. Mavourneen had
enough speed left, to take the place
by the sanie distance from Joan
Marie, th?> second choice.
Princeton Freshies Score
Touchdown on Varsity
PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 12.?For the
first time this season the varsity was
lined up against Coach Gennert's
freshmen, and the yearlings extended
the somewhat incomplete iirst team
fully. Although the bigger team
twice crossed tneir opponents' goal,
they were not able to keep from be?
ing scored upon themselves and the
afternoon's contest ended with the
score 14-t?.
Cleaves, the young halfback, who
did so well in last Saturday's game,
was responsible for both of the var?
sity tallies, while the freshmen gained
theirs by a series of straight line
backs from the 20-yard line.

Engineers Win on Court
Miss Aileen Riggen, of the Olympic
swimming team, threw out the ball to
Start the basketball season at the 47th
Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, last night.
The _7th Mounted Engineers defeated
the St. Martin Tours five, 48 to 16. In
the three-mile bicycle race, O'Shea, of
the Empire City Wheelmen, was the
victor, with Wheery, unattached, second,
and Matino, United States Infantry,
third.
Armv Prurtiees in Mud
WEST POINT, N. Y., Oct. 12.?Armv
took two hours' practice to-day in the
mud. The regular gridiron was too
wet, so Coach Daly took his men to
the North Field. There was no scrim?
mage. All the varsity men were out ex?
cept French, who is resting. Stro
hecker, who is making u fight for the
pivotal job, also paced the side lines
watching the play, but was'not in togs.
He is nursing a sore shoulder.
Thomson Resumes Studies
HANOVER. N. II., Oct. 12. Earl J.
Thomson, captain of the Dartmorth
track team and holder of the world's
record in the 120-yard and 110-meter
hurdles, returned to his studies to-day.
Thomson, who represented Canada at
the Olympic games at Antwerp, was
welcomed with a parade by the entire
undergraduate body of Dartmouth.

With Apologies
The tumult and the clouting dies,
The captains and the tea7ns depart;
Yet still the ancient odors rise
From those who worked with (frooked heart.
Lovers of baseball, prod them yet?
Lest they forget?lest they forget.
Far called, these scandals die away; .
How quickly fades tho nation's ire;
Loi all the stink of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre.
So, fans of baseball, prod them ye!?
Lest they forget?lest they forget.
Watching Boynton
"If you want the name pf one all-Eastern football .star I can slip j
it to you now," writes a Williams fan, "Keep your eye on Larry Boynton,
the best quarterback in the world to-day."
This sounds reasonable enough. Boynton was a leading star last
season, and he looks even better this fall. He is a young man who can |
take part in any type of play, and having taken part is always making
good. lie will have his chance on Saturday against Harvard, and it is
better than an even money bet now that he will be the star of the
afternoon,
Boynton and McMillin
Just a week after Boynton plays against Harvard, Bo McMillin, of
Center, steps into the same citadel.
Last fall, when many selected McMillin, there were many others who |
favored the Williams wonder. With the two men working against the
same eleven, it will be interesting to see how they make out. One game ;
doesn't prove a complete record, but at least it gives an important line
on the situation.
Meanwhile Harvard, facing Boynton one week and McMillin the next,
will at least absorb her share of experience in handling star quarterbacks
operating with hostile intent.

To Win in Nassau
Golf Tournament
All of the favorites came through
safely in the first round of the Nassau
Club invitation golf tournament yester?
day. And then in the second round
tho favoritos in those matches were
also victorious, so that everything is!
lovely so far in this meet. At least
things seem to be coining the way of
T. I). Armour, the young Scot who has ]
been competing for various American i
titles since last July.
Armour won the medal on Monday j
and yesterday he defeated Hugh Hal- j
sell, of Texas, in the first round by a '
score of 2 and 3, playing tine golf!
all the while. In the afternoon he con- !
tinued his splendid performances and
? unccd Reginald Lewis, of Greenwich,
by the lopsided score of 7 and 6. On
this round Armour played superbly all!
Lhe way. He is now favored to win
the tourne?-.
In the bemi-final to-day, Armour will j
encounter S. R, Holland, of Wee Burn,
who won a meritorious victory from :
Eddie Van Vleck in the second round !
yesterday by a score of 4 and 3. In
the morning Holland debited O. B.
Adams, of Ekwanok, by 2 up. Gardi?
ner White, o<: Nassau, and' .1. Wood
Platt, of North Hills, will fight it out
in the of lier semi-final, hi the second

Punch in First
Round Started
Levinsky Out
Carpentier Floors American
Twice in Second for Count
of Eight and Once Sticks
Out His Jaw to Take Blow
By Fred Hawthorne
The men entered the ring at one min?
ute of 10 o'clock, Carpentier being the j
first to climb through the ropes, The ?
French champion was dressed in a ;
gray bathrobe, trimmed with black. It
was cut on the style of a Japan .
kimono. A light gimy cap covered
Georges'"? blond head,
Levinsky was a couple of minutes
later in making his appearance. He
looked considerably .heavier than his
foeman. A maroon bathrobe was/flung
over Levinsky's ehoulders.
In the first round they came together ;
near the center of the ring, and Car-:
pentier was ?the lirst to lead, shooting
over a lighthing overhand right to the .
jaw. The Frenchman was as quirk as
a flash in getting over his punches!
In the middle of the round Carpen?
tier shook the Battler un with a ter?
rific, curling right hock to the side of
the jaw. From that moment Levinsky ?
looked like a beaten man, and ho
seemed to fear a repetition of the blow.
In the second round Levinsky went
down twice from terrible rights to the
jaw, onda in his own correr and once, I
on the other side of the ring, These
blows traveled so fast that Levinsky,,
clever defensive fighter as he is, was
unable to guard against them. His
legs swayed under him and he slid
slowly to the floor. Both times the
American took a count of eight.
Carpentier Very Cool
Carpentier was very cool es he
walked back to the center of the ring
nnd waited for his victim to regain bis
feet. The bell rang before the French- :
man could finish the job and the Bat-j
tier's second.?; worked so hard over the
shaken fighter between rounds that he '
toed the murk for the third round in :
good shape.
But it was evident to those at the '
ringside that Levinsky was through
for the evening. Whatever punching
powers he had before he lost on re- I
ceiving those deadening blows to the
jaw ami Carpentier seemed to realize
this, for he walked steadily in against
his opponent's attempts to hold him J
at a distance.
Levinsky fought himself out in this !
round, as though he knew that his only
chance lay in slipping over a wild one.
But Carpentier shed blows as a duck
sheds water. He even stuck out his
jaw on one occasion, in an effort to
draw the Battler into a lead, and he
took the punch square on the point of
the jaw without blinking an eye.
The boll ending the third round
found Levinsky still on his feet but
growing steadily weaker. Only his old
ring cunning saved him from Carpen
tier's attack. The Frenchman showed
wildness at this stage as he saw his
man going and missed many a hard
drive for tho jaw as he tried to shoot
over the finishing punch.
End Came in Fourth
But in tha fourth round th- end
came, and quickly. Rushing from his
corner and meeting Levinsky i:; the
hitter's corner, Carpentier drove those
stinging, jarring punches to the hope?
less Levinsky's jaw, until the blond
Hebrew's head jolted and sagged from
side to side. He looked like a drunken
man trying to find his way home after
a very wet night.
Driving his man before him under
a furious hail of blows, Carpentier
forced Levinsky to the ropes and there
pinned him up against the hempen
strands while he ripped over rights
and lefts to the head.
Finally Levinsky began to droop, the
ropes half supporting him, and then
came to rest on the floor, rolling under
the bottom rope and holding out his ?
left arm to prevent rolling over on the
press stand.
Levinsky was not out in reality, and
after reaching a sitting position he
listened to Harry Ertle, the referee, as
the latter shrieked out the count. When
Ertle had called "ten," Carpentier
rushed over and helped pull his victim
into the ring and (inig him to his
chair.
Immediately after the fight ended
Francois Deschamps, Carpentier's man
ager, jumped into the ring and rushed
from one side to the other, yelling to
the newspaper men that "for three
?lays Carpentier he have no lunch! He
sick ! No lunch! "
These words were accompanied by;
gestures by Deschamps indicating that'
Carpentier had been sick at his
stomach, or some such thing. But
Levinsky looked much the sicker of the '
two.
And what did the result of the fight ;
teach us concerning Carpentier's ability
ns a fighter? Only this, in my opinion,
that the Frenchman is a wicked
puncher, particularly with his right
hand. It iv..; the overhand right h'iok
to the side of the jaw that finished
Le. insky and started him on the road
to ruin.
The Frenchman also is very quick on \
his feet and always on the alert* for,
openings, but as a dangerous opp
fur Jack Dempsey, no. Carper.tier
leaves himself open far too often.
As for the American's h iwing in this ;
fight, it was disappointing. .After tak?
ing that tir.st jarring clout on the jaw
in the opening round, *he Battler bent
most of his energies to keeping out of
harm's way.
In the third round LevLnsky made
his best showing-, shooting over a dozen
straight left jabs to Carpentier's face
as the Frenchman bored ?u eager to
trade punches. Hut Geor__e3 made no
elFort to dodge these blows. He knew
? that they carried no deadly charge and
| all he wanted was the opportunity to
I crash over his own crushing right.
Frankie Burns Wins
Collander and Asher, flyweights, went
; the limit in their six-round bout, with
? Collander, a dynamic little hitter, hav
; ing a bit the better of the fast milling.
i Some of his blows to the bodyt would
'have felled a less sturdy youngster
' than the babe, but he was stronj; and
; smiling at the finish.
In the second six-round bout Frankie
Burn-, the aged Jersey City bantam
| weight, and Patsy Johnson, of Trenton,
a husky youngstor with a chilled stet I
jaw and a nice disposition, entertained
tho visitors.
Burns might have done better if he
had taken off his gloves and swung a
sledge hammer at Patsy.
Ted Kid Lewis, former welterweight
champion, and Marcel Thomas, the
French welter, met i:: toe si::-round
semi-final, Accordin gto report.', whis?
pered at the ringside before the men
entered the ring, Lewis had agree?! to
I knock Thomas out or receive nothing
' for his services. Ted must be awfully
| fond of money, for he u'ent after the
! poor Marcel like a demon. In the
I second round he dropped the French
j man with a jolting right hook to the
jew. Thereafter he gave the- foreigner
a cruel beating about the body.
Thomas '.vas not ahle to inflict any
; appreciable damage himself, but he
? Burely could toe the mark and accept
j punishment like a Spartan. He lasted
'the limit, which was doing very well
i aider the ci rcunistai .
Carpentier Ready to Take
10 Blows to Land One Smash
Broun Says Frenchman Is I
Beautiful Fighter to
Watch; Methods Recall ;
Those Used by Ketchel
By Heywood Broun
JERSEY CITY BALL PARK, Oct. 12.
?We missed the performance of "The
Meanest Man in the World-' last night,
but over in Jersey City, ten minutes
after the knockout, a fight fan filled
tho bill. Battling Levinsky was totter?
ing to his dressing room, supported by
two seconds, when the fight fan leaned ;
out of the lane of watchers and asked:
"Say, can he hit. hard, Battler?"
A fight fan is a wonder for nssimi
lating punishment. All through the ;
bout tho fat man next, to ns greeted \
each body blow with a shout of, "Stick
it in there, George. II? i.on't like
it down there." We wondered ju it
what sort of a person i1 might be who
did like to bo punched in the stomach.
We wondered hew '.lie fat man wouid
?ike it. Hard as Carpentier hit Le?
vinsky, it cannot be sai; .'.at. he jarred
the fans. It seemed to : - thai he did
everything which could be expected of
a fighter, but the funs shook ?
heads and remarked, "'He won
round with Uempsey."
Levinsky's head was still on his
shoulders and they were not <??<':,. ied.
As a matter of fact, Carpentier fought
under a terrific handicap. He could
not understand a word of th? advice
which was shouted to him by the crowd.
When somebody yelle?!, "Knock his
head off, you frog enter!" Carpentier
was not able to profit by the sugges?
tion. He just had to go along in his
own way.
Frenchman a Hard Hitter
'?"ne Frenchman is just as tiara a ?lit?
ter as anybody has said, but we did
not find that he quite liven up to his
reputation for calm calculation. Aft< 7
the tremendous *blow which toppled
Levinsky in the first rouna he was
flurried for a time and Iasned out
wildly. 'Fhe fight afforded little line
on his defensive abilities. Early in
the bout he found that Levinsky could
not hurt him, and so he encouraged
his opponent to hit. He thrust out his
jaw as a fair target and seemed will?
ing to take ten or fifteen jalis if only
he could land one in return, r'rom his
point of view such a trade was entire?
ly satisfactory.
Car rentier is an inspired hitter. His
blows h?.d landed almost before tho
spectator had realized that they had
started. Of course, the other fighter
knows. He may not realize just what
it is that has happened, but he knows
that it is terrible.
Levinsky was as thoroughly knocked
out a fighter as we have ever seen. Ten
was nothing in his life but a
number in a procession which, i . '
have been infinite. It would have keen
an unfortunate moment for the Battler
if Gabriel had blown his trumpet at
that particular moment. Levinsky could
could not have come. Carpentier car
. ried him to his corner, but it was many
minutes later before his seconds took
him down from the ring and started
for his dressing room. Ho merely
shambled along, and would have fallen
at every step if the two big men had
not held him up.
There was about him a suggestion of
the Mora Lisa. If Walter Pr.ter had
been in a ringside seat he might have
said. '.'Here is the head upon which all
the punches of the world have corri? an,!
the eyelids arc a little weary." Except
for the fool fan who asked "Can he hit
hard, Battler?" nobody said anything.
There didn't seem to be much of any?
thing to say. It was a situation which
would have defied Pollyanna. Of I
course he probably received a pretty
penny for his evenin-, but it seemed
to us he earned it. We would rather
read copy for ten solid years than stand
up and let Carpentier bring that swish?
ing right of his around upon our chin
and throat.
Two Blows in Knockout
There were two blows which encom?
passed the knockout. The first was on
the jaw and the second hit the Battler
squarely in the throat. He <!^<1 not
feel ii. There was anaesthesia in the
first punch. Carpentier is a beautiful
lighter to watch. We leave it to the
experts to say how good he is, as we
have suggested the fight showed little
(A his defensive ability.
He is a marvelously fast and hard
puncher. In many respects he fulfills
.lie average American's conception of a
Frenchman. His hair is at least two
months too long. Coining into the ring
ho wore a natty raglan and a sport
cap. Although he has been knocked
out several times there arc no marks
for it.
Carpentier is just as handsome as
the moving pictures said he was.
There the resemblance ends. He does
not dance or flutter. 'Ineri; is an ab?
solute earnestness about him. He su?
gests no American lighter so much as
Stanley Ketchel. He is a slugger,
though a sharpshooter.
Seemingly the Battle of Verdun was
not enough to kill the old convention
American conception of the Frehi
The general opinion about the r i .
seemed to be thut Levinsky would lust.
"Why, this Carpentier's nothing but
one of them frog-eaters,'' said the man
behind us. But if frogs can put such
a kick into the.right hand wallop, there
are fighters here who will begin to
wide on their own account. Carpen?
tier has come a long way since the
day in Lens, whsn h?. watched the
performance of Deschamps, the travel?
ing showman, and wheedled his way
into the troupe. He was a juggler fitst
;.i.;l men an acrobat, but now it's his
opponents who turn the somersaults.
Bantam, feather, lightweight and
t'r rough all the e'asses he grew into
his present 17_.' pounds. He was a good
1 aviator, too, but lie could have done
more to the Germans, we think, with
his fists than with bombs.
We used to see him at Maxim's, in
Paris, and though we knew that he was
a lighter it did not seem possible that
anybody so good looking could hit so
hard. Our otho% hitting heroes, our
Ruths and our Dernpsey, are kin to Mr.
Tarzan, of the Apes, but here's a man
who mi^ht have stepped out of a cloth?
ing advertisement who carries destruc?
tion in either fist.
You can't do the easy thing and
speak of cavemen. There's too much
polish on his finger nails.
