CARPENTIER NOW FAVORITE Well Fancied to Win Bout With Beckett in London. New York has its six-day bike race to keep interest fm sport alive, but there is something coming off on another shore the latter part of this week which will be watched closely. That is the twenty-round fight be- tween Joe Beckett, the English cham- pion, and Georges Carpentier, of France, which takes place Thursday. night. | victory on the | Gghting that their man employs.

He-| ports say that the receipts will hit above the $100,000 mark, but that figure is most conservative, when it is known that seats are sold from $25 to $100. The dutcome of the match had aroused all sorts of speculation. In England Beckett rule¥ a slight fav- orite, while in France Carpentier is rated to have the best chance to win.

He hits the nail | Gn the head with the following: It's rather amusing nowadays to sit at the ringside and listen to the majoyity of fans applaud and cheer! the crude, slam-bang fighters, who hardly know the rudiments of scien- tific boxing. It's the féllow who makes most noise and wildest rushes who gets tie cheers from the unsop- histicated spectators. He may miss a dozen punches and be a. regular cir- cus clown within 'the ropes, as long | as he keeps up his reckless whirl! wind tactics and freakish fireworks. | Sccording to-the strict interpreta- | tion of Queensbury niles a miss counts against a boxer, but not with | the present fans, most of whom ne- | ver even read the rules, . | They are "hook, line and sinker | with the razzie daazle, spectacular, | rough-house scrapper, whether he | hits or misses. { All of which goes to show that the | fans of to-day ate like most of the ringsters---they don't know the art of self-defence like the old fans and | fighters of some twenty years ago. | If a boxer today rushes his oppon- | ent to the ropes and tries to shove! him out of the ring, head down, like a butting goat, the crowd cheers the rusher. { If a fellow hits with an open glove making a big sound, on the back | generally, the crowd cheers him for | his foul tactics. Set It a rough, strong scrapper out- wrestles his opponent with all sorts of strangle other foul holds, the crowd cheers again. bie The Shamrock TV. is of an ' RETIRES FROM HOCKEY Cyril Flanagan Will Devote His Time .
