Po far as the writer has been to see, his punch is rather wide arj sweeping. He beat Levinsky with it.' The trouble is that when Carp lcse with it he is thrown off his falar.ee. mat wouia oe iatai against 3fiiUey. But even if he were known -o have a real left punch it would not ;,ange the writer's belief that he will jjie to the American. Of course, if every event came out a jireiiictcd there would be nothing o sport at all. The writer can ap preciate the risi. he takes in picking i; winner. Nature turned out Dempsey a com rletr gladiator. Carpentier is of the up type of athlete, in a measure j gymnasium product. pjmpsoy has the punching power in fithr-r hand to hurt Carpentier wherever his gloves land. Dempsey has been charged with oc casional loose living. The writer has i; from a man who was in the French army and knew Carpentier, that the Trertehman in 1915 and 1917 at least, lived the sort of life which was typi u! of French aviators when not at the front. Carpentier has not fought a gruelling battle in six years and that is a lone while. He is nearly three year? older than Dempsey. Carpentier admittedly is the more intelligent type of man, but Dempsey, a na'ural tighter .will wage battle by instinct, not by set plan and no think er, no matter how clever, can out think a rival who fights by instinct. Lvmpsey is built better to stand pur.isrrr.f nt. And he has been up Kiin.-t sparring partners far supe rior to those who have worked with Gecr;??. Dtxpsey is regarded by Carpentier as slow. That is a mistake. Demp sy is quick as a cat on his feet. CarrKr.tier probably will not be able to keep away. L'cmi sey's record of knockouts ap to Fred Fulton, Bill Brennan, B:",r Misk. Gunboat Smith. Carl Morris. Porkv Flynn, Eob McAllister ar.J Jpss Willard is much more im rre.fivf than Carpentier's victories over .Joe Beckett, Bombardier Wells ind Gunboat Smith. Dempsey will crowd Carpentier so hard and constantly that the French man's famous punches will be hurried and consequently not so effective. M'GRAW CONCEDES CARDINALS MAY WIN New York, June 25. John J. Mc Graw. manager and half owner of the N'tw York Giants, who have lost three games to the Cardinals, told a report er recently that the Cardinals have a wonderful opportunity ' to give 3t. Louis its first pennant. "The Cardinals are a great bal tam." he said. "It looks to me as if the race for the flag is between jcw York, St. Louis and Pittsburg.

I have felt recently that the best thing I could do personally, was to be within easy reach of a -course upon which I might play or practice, us seemed best at the time, so as to be come accustomed to this climate and overcome the effect it had upon me. This I have, done, and with, I think, good results. I have been using Wirral for this purpose, a course to which I. have 1 ready referred, and one of easy access. But I had a pleasant and interesting experience recently at Formby watch ing the famous professionals. It would surely be unwise and even pre sumptuous at this stage to venture a general criticism of British as com pared to American golf. I might say things which would have to be re tracted later on; and I would rather wait until I have seen as much as possible of the players and tneir play grounds before expressing .myself very freely. All, or nearly all, of the Ameri can team visited Formby on one or both of the days of the great J55.000. Daily Mail Tournament, and I saw them watching with keen interest the games of men whose names are gen erally well-known in America. One player was unfortunately absent who would have attracted much atten tion Kirkwood, the Australian. He did not get his name down on the list by some unhappy accident. In conversation with him he expressed disappointment. He seemed to thinK also that his game was hardly prop erly understood in this country., He thought he was generally looked upon more as an aciobatic, or freak, player than as an orthodox golfer, and :t seemed as if he woul. be glad of tht opportunity of proving his met Ho among his rivals, who make no claim to be able to do the trick shots for which he has made himself famous. He professes a great liking and admi ration for American golfing conditions, and tht; American gafing fraternity, so much so that he seems to have made up his mind to settle in the United States. His position in the next pro fessional tournament, which took plax in Britain, in which $4,000 in prizes were offered, proved that his aspira tions were not groundless, for at the end of the first day's play he was at the top of the list, and when the tournament finished, he stood second. His golfing ability and his most plead ing and frank face and manner arc sure to win him a very high place among American professionals. I taw at Formby practically all fa mous players either start or coma home. All Americans who are inter ested know something about the form of the older school as exemplified In the persons of Vardon and Ray. I observed a difference between the wooden play of the younger British players and that of those whom we consider the great masters. I think most of us look on a full swing and a flee carry through as style to be observed. It appeared, on watching the most famous examples of thv younger British experts, that either thev did not desire this form, or fall to attain it. Their swing seemed to be full enough behind, but it terminaticn was somewhat sudden and abruDt. They hit hard and they hit straight, but they did not hit quit.? as one had expected. It was, therefore, very interesting to read a few days later, a criticism of our American team practicing at Hoylake, in which the writer said that they seemed to pJty as the British used to play twen ty years ago, trusting apparently not so much to rrd hitting for distance as to the syi:hronous movement oi A the whole body and a full carry through. Which is better? Perhar time will show? And the meetins of the best players of these two different styles of play may perhaps some day evolve one best method, though it would seem to be commo;: sense that as bodies differ greatly m proportion form must always strmewhat vary. An exception to this statement that the famous j'ounger British profession als are not keen about the carry through should I think be made of Havers. He is one of the coming men. After watching him througn quite a number of holes it would an pear as If his style was quite of tho kind we hve admired most in Ameri ca. He is a tall, lithe Lancaster lad of twenty -three, and he came .out second; mtch I think, to local satisfaction. There is, I And, a movement here supported by able critics against the so-called Vardon grip. They say it may be the best for people with immense hands, develoed by hard, man ual labor, but for those unaccustomed to toii, and presumably for those with small lady-like hands, it is asserted that fifty per cent of the possible power is wasted by the overlapping grip. Most of us younger players in America, according to this conten tion, might be playing a much better game than we do. As traveling here, owing to the miner' strike, is not only very uncom fortable, but even quite difficult be cause the trains which do run are so over-crowded that .every carriage seems to be always filled to over flowing, it is not possible to run about seeing other people play here and there. My letters must, therefore, he somewhat circumscribed in their view for the present, and also egotistical. I was able, however, to form som estimate soon after the Stoke Pog?s tournament of the game of the. most famous of women golfers Miss Cecil Leitch whom I had seep up till this time socially only. There is held an nually at Ranelagh, an open tourna ment for women ot ab noias meaai play. Into this I was invited to enter, and I was made an honorary member of the club, as I have been of many others. The course . Is short, and is worked in a very ingenious manner into the famous polo ground round which the golfers play. It is considered one of the best clubs In England. It la convenient, also to London as It is practically a part of this far flung city. I had as partner,. Miss Molly Gra- ham, sister of the famous sportsman, the late Jack Graham, and herself a favorite among golfers. I had on this occasion no reason to grumble at my own personal feelings, and any de fects in my play were due to no alibi. On the first eighteen holes I was able to be among' the first and t-j tie Cecil" Leitch with a 72. The follow ing day we played again, Miss Leitch had made a 70 before I started, and I knew that 69 from me was neces sary to fcin.- But I got only 73 while Miss Leitch won the prize. Tho low est . score of all. however, going to Miss Joan Stocker, who had taken a 69 that day. My own putting was not uu to the mark, which I regretted, especially as I was told the biggest gallery ever seen at Ranelagh was in attendance. A couple of days later came a simi lar open tournament on the Burma course at Walton near London. I had stayed in bed nearly all d&y-, as the Ranelagh matches had tjrea me out, arid I was pretty fit at Burhill. It is a fine course of fair length, i woman's course to which men are tdmitted as "associates," which seenir to be a not uncommon arrangement here. It is a wooded inland course which appealed to me. Gladys Dobell and I. playins togeth er in the morning had respectively S5 and 81, and in the afternoon (it being a one day tcurnament of 3G holes) 86 and SiV I was playing all right, but had two unfortunate holes on which I should have made 4s and did make 7s. Miss Jackson, the Irish champion, made the best score with 77 and 30 (a most popular win) and Miss Cecil l eitch was second with 77 anl S3. I came third. On watching Miss Leitch play it strikes one jat once that she has suc ceeded in attaining her object, whica is rather to get there than to be an example of the beauty which may bj attained in form by stich as val'ic that feature of the game. She is a woman of very great power and ener gy. She hits the ball with extra ordinary force, and she generally man ages to send it just as far as she wish es, and in precisely the right direc tion. The veracious critic cannot say that her swing is the poetry of mo tion; it is useful, extraordinarily use ful, but it is not ornamental. And as the object in striking at the ball i.s to get it as quickly as possible into the hole, she has succeeded in maidng herself probably the greatest woman ?p"ei" "Who has yet appeared. She not, of course, always Victorious, as Miss Joyce Wethered can prove, but taken all. around she' still wears the crown which her numerous successes 'iave by general estimation placed upon her brow. And it is likely that she may long wear it, because golf holds, I understand, a very important place in 1 er daily thought, and tho winning of cups does not yet appear to have palled upon her. She is not unlike every other golfer. She has her poor er days, as happened at our next tournament when Gladys Dobell made in 82 to her 86, in the open play at Westhill, near Woking, a fine course. The weather was, however, depressing and muggy, and Miss Janet Jackson, the Irish champion, and I, who played together, both felt useless and played poorly. I s expect to be in a position to write in my following letters mora about some of the famous coming golfers here than opportunity has so far permitted.

Most of the ball players believe that Dempsey wi?l defeat Carpentier. They can't figurt how a Frenchman can know enough about boxing to win from an Ameri can. . The finest pitching object lesson ob tainable is that given by Faber and Dempsey And His Rival Ought To Be In Pink Of Condition By HERY L, FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent New York, June 25. Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier ought to bp two of the finest trained athletes that ever pntercd a ring when the gong sounds in Jersey City next Saturday. ' Both have worked hard for months. Both lived well before they started training. Both had hard years in their young days to give them a foundation for strength and vitality. Jack Dempsey :n Toledo was supoos- ed to. hs.ve been in that superb condi tion that an athlete reaches onjy once in his life. The experts said he never again could hope to be the athlete that ie was when he whipped the giant Willard. Carpentier, when he stepped out of the French army uniform after four years service, was thought to have suf fered from the srain and hardships of army -Ufp that he could never hope to reach the condition he was in before the, great world war. However, phpisacl culture experts and experienced trainers who visited their camps three weeks before the" day of the fight, marvelled at the su perb condition of the two men who are to decide the world's heavyweight cham pionship. "Great," they said. "But," with a doubting nod of the head, "will they be able to keep from going stale." . Both have, it seems. Dempsey stop ped training twice for a brief rest. Car pentier, being handled just as wisely. mixed light and heavy work so tha,t he was able to go through without a stop. Dempsey, who put much more into his work than the Frenchman, had to ba. curbed and forced into a vaca tion. Some of the old timers doubted the wisdom of Jaack Kearna in selecting the bright Jights Of Atlantic City for a training camp. They commended the sagacity of the Frenchman who chose a quiet country place to get ready for the big battle. . Both made no mistake. Dempsey, a very, nervous high strong person would have become a sultry, ill-humored Jef fries if Ke had been forced to remain idie during his two "vacations" around a country place. He got rid of his pent up energy by doing miles on the board walk. It was no dissipation. It was exercise under entertaining condi tions. Carpentier, a quiet, very serious sort of person, who does not like crowds down in his heart, although he appears at ease in mobs for advertising pur poses, was more at home all the time out in the solitude of Manhasset- Unless, there is some defect in their physical makeup under the skin, there can be no alibi from the loser of the championship battle that he was not in good condition. Dempsey looks even better than he did at Toledo and Carpentier is a per fect specimen of a healthy, well train ed athlete. RUTH'S 26TH IN VAIN IN CONTEST WITH SENATORS Browns Beat Indians; Ath letics Win Twice and Ti gers Defeat White Sox. STANDING OF THE CLUBS.V terrified a moment by the clamor coi ceining home runs they pitch to the best of their ability and some how it seems to be good old-fashioned ability, because the ba- -rs inaks neither home runs nor many without a horn". It is not exactly right to place all the present charge of mediocrity r. baseball on the players. There are some managers who are lagging on the trail. Pittsburg fans clamored for Yellow horse. They had a sight of him the other day. The bugs looked him over to their satisfaction and he just map aged to limp through. Marquard was started at New York against the wjil of the manager, and to satisfy eiir'os ity. It was a bad start a regu'ar old fluke and Marquard was two years getting over it. In view of this home run agitation haven't the statisticians overlooked one important fact? Who made thj first home run? There's something of real historic value field fence at the Polo grounds where the ball hit by Ruth entered the center field stands. It is the consensus of opinion that such a tremendous wallop should not be allowed to faoe from the memories of the fans. Even if the tentative 1 lan said to be entertained by the Giants to built concrete bleachers matures the tablet might endure. Players of this year's vintage will look back when they are a little older and tell folks what powerful batters they had in '21. Three games grace this year's record with a combined to tal of more than thirty-five hits. Cleve land and New York lead with thirty seven in one game. , Pittsburgh and Boston made thirty-six, and Boston and Chicago thjrty-six in ten innings. There's still hope for forty in nine in nings.. TRACK EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE HOLD INTEREST Some of the Contests Sched uled Will Bring Out Bit ter Fights. BY WALTER CAMP, Staff Correspondent of Tie TV.tt. Copyright, 21, byKews Publishing Co. New York, June 25. Much dissatis faction has been expressed that the Olympic games of 1928 are to be hell at Amsterdam ins ea of in isvj United States. One of the greatest dis appointments of the last Olympic games was the lack of spectators. Tt might be well before 1928 rolls around to be assured either that there will bj sufficient revenue from spectators properly to finance the games or an adequate public fund established to? that purpose. Usually at this date interest in track athletics has practically ceased for the summer, but 4his year splendid pro grams still are before us. The A. A U. national championships at Los An geles will bring out some of the most bitterly contested events ever seen in America, and may serve to determine whether or not the name of Charley Paddock will be placed high above all the rest in the annals of the track as the greatest sprinter who ever wore a spiked shoe. HARVARD STRONG. Yale and Harvard will meet Oxford and Cambridge July 23 at Harvard Sta dium, and Princeton and Cornell will join in opposing the British invaders later. . Harvard athletes were goin-v strong at the time of the inter-coll i giates, while Yale was slipping back. However, the rest may do the Yals members of the team, especially Tom Campbell, a lot of good. The fast 40r yard run recently by Stevenson, of Princeton in 49 3-5 will make him a fa vorite against the British quarter-mil-ers. The Poughkeepsie stewards have found one trial of the three mile route for boat races enough to convince them that the four-mile rpute is bet ter. It will be surprising if within a short time announcement is not -made that hereafter the Hudson river regp.tta will be restored to the original dis tance. The. stewards realize that aban doning the four-mi:e cou.'s?e involved a distanct loss of prestige. There! never was any real reason for the change anyway.- It is true that men are some times injured in boat rac ing but there seems to be no conclu sive evidence that roen trained for i four-mile race are any more prone to disaster than men who row the shorter distances. Harvard has gone into this matter quite thoroughly and rigid me;V ical investigation showed the Crimson oarsmen who roved the four miles had come out all right physically. EXHAUSTION PROBABLE. Every oarsman knows that a craw can exhaust itself absolutely in tb 5 Henley distance of a mile and 550 yards, if they row hard enough. There are usually more men in the bottom of a boat at the finish of a stiff Henley heat than there are in three and four mile races. The writer saw the Lean der crew in one of its heats at Henley in England, when four men dropped practically unconscious immediately upon crossing the finish line. But aside from this, the Poughkeep sie regatta would be better as an ev nt were the four mile race restored. There is no question that as compared to past years there was a decided loss of college flavor last Wednesday. Then too, it will take a long time to estab lish records for three-mile shell rac ing, whereas, the long established rec ords of the four-mile route at Pou?h keepsie furnish an exact basis for comparison and appraisal. EXPECT GIANTS' MOUNDSMEN TO FAIL TO DELIVER Can t Carry New York Through to Pennant Tri umph, HiVals Say. By GEORGE CHAD WICK, Staff Correspondent of The Copyright, 1021. by IVewg Publishing Co New York, June 25. Players of thret of the clubs of the National Leasrue Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia sa the pitchers of the Giants are not good enough to carry the team to the cham pionship. The wish may be father to the though for there is no great love among them for the New York team When ball players discuss champion ships it is before morning practice 01 on rainy days. The writer has talked with all three teams and also with tht players, of the Pittsburgh and St. Louis ciubs on "rainy days." Naturally you can't expect the Pitts burghto sand up and tell how the Giants may win the championship be cause Pittsburgh has picfied ou the safe ty deposi vault where it expects to deposit where it expects to store the pennant . ' The St. Louis fellows are rather non commital. Personally they think that they can defeat the Giants themselvee but most St. Louis teams fill their wak ing hours with notions of that kind Frequently they make good, so far as an individual thrashing of New York is concerned. REASONS WHY. Some of the reasons why the Giant pitchers are rated low, lun as follows Too old Not a good curve ball pitcher in the lot. Seven-innins: pitchers Had too much hard work before join in the Giants Ineffective without using some sub stance on the ball Only one good fielding pitcher among them Los3 their speed after- three or four hard innings Players of most of the teams say that it was all cut and dried that Groh was to go to the Giants and that everybody in Cincinnati knew it. Some times nlavers have knowledge about these thines that is more accurate than the information possessed oy tne league manasrer. Groh at third base would have put a heap of battinsr force Into the Giants The Giant folks wre stumped wnen the decision went against uron du couldn't help themselves. No criticism was made of the ruling because that was one of the agreements with Judge Tindis.
