By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 14.—1 t looks on though Pancho Villa and Abe Goldstein will shortly bo matched. It Isn’t so much that Abe wants Villa’s title as that Pancho wants Goldstein's bantam erown. About the only thing a crack fly weight can do Is to look higher, there being so few good men in his h own class. True, so far as Villa is concerned, there is Genaro and it seems to be on the cards that a battle between the two for the world's flyweight title will be held this summer. What Bud Taylor needs is mors experience. lie has everything else. Villa’s crouch seemed to bother him more than would have been the case had he had a wide experience. Bud* says that experience* is just what he is after these days. When he comes east again, he win be filled up with that valuable com modity, ho says. Taylor, by the way. will meet Pete Sarmiento In Milwaukee on June 19. A real battle promises. Carpentier is still a real drawing card. Francois Descamps has to keep a card index of bouts that are offered. Lots of them are good or ca from a financial standpoint, too. The trouble is that Descamps agreed to box Tunney If Billy Gib / son, tire marine's manager, would lay off interfering with the Car pentier-Gibbons fight. Now Francois wants Gibson to set back the Tunney engagement again so that Carp can grab off a lot of the good money now offered —money, be it noted, that might not to be offered were the Orchid man to be flattened by Gene. This well may happen, for while Tunney is a first rate good fellow, his heart is not so large and his sympathies might not be so cosily stirred as Gibbons' were.

The winner la _.hown with th. cup TWO FRENCH BOXERS PASS INTO OBLIVION By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June 14. The ring careers of the two beat fighters France has developed came virtual ly to an end within 48 hours. Georges Carpenter, former world's lightweight champion. encleJ his at Michigan City when he lose some what ignominiously to Tommy Gib bons. Two days later. Eugene Crlqul. gallant featherweight who lost his title in that division to Johnny Dun dee here last year, foreswore the ring forever after a knockout at the hands of Danny Frush. Carpenter may go on fighting; probably he will win some more bouts before he finally passes out of the picture. But his last chance for real ring fame ended when he took a bad beating from Gibbons on Decoration Day. Poor Gene Crlqul is definitely through. No one who saw the brave fight he put up against Dundee in New York, staggering, blinded, about the ring and refusing to quit, can help but sympathize with the stout-hearted little Frenchman when he nays: "I'm through. Tou won't see me getting knocked out from ring to ring. A better man beat me (this wan after the Frush fight In Paris) and I've no excuse. No broken hands—no broken heart. "Ive had my day. been champion of the world- Now I’m not good enough any more. I’d have gone back to the United States and had another / trial for the title if I’d beaten Frush, but I couldn't.” Thus passes Crlqul, a fighting Frenchman. Gene was a real fight er. maimed in the world war so that his whole jaw was shot away. Surgeons patched him up, putting a Kheep's bone in place of the little fighter's jaw. Crlqul returned to the ring, fought his way to the top, despite his wounds, came to this country in 1923 and won the world's feather weight title by knocking out John ny Kilbane. Then camo the match with Dundee. Instead of returning to France to gather in plaudits and francs as world’s champion. Crlqul consented to meet the Scotch-Wop a few weeks after the Kilbane fight. •He received a terrible beating, from which he never recovered. Crlqul was probably the best lit tle man” developed in France. He showed himself equal to the gamest of any class in any country when he lost to Dundee. And when he went down, in the Bth round, after another merciless beating by Fruah, Crlqul never complained. He did say that It *’*" the beating he took from Dundee which cost him this, his last fight. Carpentier’s record was somewhat similar to that of Crlqul, although the ’’Gorgeous Georges” was always more spectacular, and the American public doubted hie sincerity and many questioned his gameness. Georges waa a fighter In the world war. and a "bleaoe,” as the French call their wounded. He had Casper Tribune.) Answer.—The Olanta hope that he la equal and better.

After the world war, Carpentier knocked out Joe Beckett and other fair heavies in record time, and coming to thia country worked him self up to a match with Champion Jack Dempsey. lie lasted nearly four rounds, breaking his right hand on the champion's jaw with a. bloqf that nearly won the fight In the second round. . There has been some question about this breaking of Georges* hand, but there need not be. In his dressing room. Immediately after the fight. Carpenter’s hand was ex amined by myself and other news paper men. It was swollen and the thumb either fractured or dislo cated, a hand that was practically useless for fighting purposes. Carpentier was never as good af ter that Dempsey fight. He was badly whipped by the Senegalese boxer. Battling Siki, than whom a more awkward second-rate boxer never lived. Georges again knocked out Beckett in a round, and as he was still a drawing card in this country, the Gibbons*' match was smoked up. Now that's over, and the Amer ican public is right in saying: "Nev er again.” If Georges wants to fight men of his class in ordinary matches, O. K., but no more gates of nearly n mil lion for a fighter who proves 90 per cent orchid bathrobe and secret tanning, and 10 per cent right-hand punch. His career as a headliner is over. NUMBING IS NEGLIGIBLE (Continued from Pago One) sweating members of the crew, laboring under the excitement of the moment In their spirited effort to establish a new target practice record to add to the long list of vic tories the turret already held. Still another theory, that thp ex plosion was caused by some member of the crew falling to remove a heavy paper tag from one of the powder bags crammed into the breech, was advanced by Ensign F. W. Parson*, In charge of the lower powder handling room below the turret. "The first intimation I had of any thing being wrong was when I saw men coming down a ladder and water down after them.” Parsons said. "Then yellow nnd red gas poured through the trap door from the turret, I commanded my men to close all doors and get the powder out of the hoist." ’’Did you Inspect the powder that was being used in the guns?” Par sons was ssked. "Yes. some of the bags were sewed in places.” “Were the bags used at the time of the explosion sent to the turret with index cards attached?” “I don’t know.” "Was there any order given to remove ths tags?” "I don't know.” "Have you ever been Instructed to remove the tags from powder bags?" "No.” It was announced today that the Mississippi has been ordered to the Mare Island yards, finn Francisco, for repairs. The wet powder has been removed from the magazine nnd the three guns taken from the turret. Transfer of the bodies of the 48 victims from the hospital ship Re lief to a local undertaking estab lishment was completed this after noon. The caskets came ashore in groups of right, and were trans ported to the funeral home in n silent procession, aiong streets lined with sorrowing relatives and sym pathetic countrymen. Funeral services for the entire number will be held Tuesday morn ing on the fleet athletic field. Then the bodies will bo shipped to the homes of nearest relatives through out the country for Interment. Condition of the twelve Injured men was pronounced favorable to night, with a probability some of them at least can testify when the board of Inquiry resumes hearings Monday morning. H. C.

A double fringe of coral colored plumes extends from tho knees all around to within eight inches of the floor and is continued upward to tho left hip. Tho feather vogue has even spread to wraps. One of the most attractive examples seen recently is of white georgette lined completely with short ostrich plumes dyed a delicate yellow. One or two pairs of ostrich shoes have reached this side from London. Those are made of the skin of the bird, tanned with the feathers on It. The straps are of the skin, with the holes whore the Jarger plumes stick through enlarged to cut out designs. Occasionally small bands formed of bright-colored feathers take the place of bracelets around the wrist with feather-trimmed evening Tho presentation of many Ameri cans at the Court of St. James has given impetus to the wearing of white ostrich plumes ps head orna ments with formal dross.
