By Heady Boxing and Fighting By Georges Carpentier Light Heavyweight Champion of the World. , (Written Eipressly for the International New Serrice and the London Daily Express.) (Copyright, 1920, by International News Serrice and London Sunday Express.) LONDON, Dec .18. "And I am glad to know you." This was how .Jack Dempsey greeted' me when we rnet to sign article o fight for the championship of the world. Which was very different from what I had expected and was led to believe. I had pictured Dempsey as a big, roar ing fellow, with little person ah charm,' in tolerant, rather, not nice, a stranger to softness and what passes for common courtesies. is jrrsT hoi ax ' I made the pleasant discovery that, outside the ring at least, he is Just a human, well-ordered young man, softly spoken, extremely pleasant in a quiet, reserved way, and altogether opposite to what I had prepared myself for. At least on 50 occasions, when alone, I had seen him, as represented by the film, in his fight with Willard, fierce, vicious, terrible, merciless, punching into help lessness the biggest, heaviest man I have ever seen. That was the only Demosey I knew until I met and spdke to him but a few short days ago. COMPARES OPPOXEXTS My opponents have been manv and of a widely different stamp. . Bombar dier Wells, almost effeminate Billy Papke and i rank Klaus, cruel, with out imagination, just fighting men i Jeanette, a black man, who in his nature is. white; Gunboat Smith, con ceited, reckless of speech ; Joe Beckett, good, honest, strong; Levinsky, with a jaw of iron and immensely courageous but never a fighting man like Demp sey. i nere may be the brute in him : I believe there is, as there surelv Is in all of us; but he is not the monster he j nas oeen represented to be. ' Rather i would 1 say rtat he has been misunder stood ; for he has a mind, a soul and an intense lilting for life that is not of the ring, , When we came to attach our sig natures to the contract the most voluminous that has ever : concerned two pugilists (it is made tin of 18 crowd- ed folios which 1, personally, found the utmost difficulty in dissecting and understanding) Dempsey had no ques tions to ask. lake myself, he bad sick ened because of the long-drawn-out ne-i gotiauons, and the match was definitely made in a few minutes. Then it was that he gripped me heartily by th hand and took me on one side to chat about things far removed from the hammering and butchering business this' fight is espected to be. We did not talk one word -of fight ; we were just two ordi nary business men with many ideas in common. I do not think.' by the way. that we shall meet in the ring before the first week of next July. - .., DEMPSEY LOOKS BOYISH In appearance Dempsey, Who is 18 months younger than, myself, looks like an unusually bUr and strong lad. I was surprised at his boyishness, and he has the ways of a boy. I should say that he has no liking for fuss and ceremony, and he la not given o boasting and bragging. There is nothing of the swag gerer about Dempsey, and 1 am certain that ha has been misrepresented by the exaggerations which, all too often, creep into the boxing columns of his country's newspapers. Neither do I think he is a party to the thumping of the big drum which is thought necessary to im press upon - tire world that he is the greatest pugiiist ever reared by this country. This Is what I would call my pen picture of him: Complexion, dark : face, strong' and rugged, without being brutal ; general Dhvsical makeun. as na&rlv ter feet Us possible, He carries'' himself easily : there ia rouch spring in his walk. His face, which' although ; not finely chiselled, is not like that of Beckett, as you would perhaps imagine it to be from the published photographs of him. It advertises tenseness and determination. yet when he allows a smile to play about it it Is almost a kind and sympa thetic face. Certainly it is an arresting and engaging face. SO SELF'ADYEBTISER There is much about Dempsey that would, cause you to pick him out of a crowd ; he Is' so obviously powerful and serious and fit he is not of the Broad way. So far he is unspoiled, a healthy, natural man, who, by ready assimila tion of what he has seen and heard and read, has more than average intelli gence. He does not talk a great deal ; when he does talk he reveals the prac tical, the common-sense mind. His be lief in himself is supreme, but the suc cess he has won in the hardest school a man can pass' through justifies that befief. Any man who can win first place in the American school of fight lit& must be conscious of his greatness, and he must be a believer in himself. But Dempsey is no advertiser of himself, and when I left him he swore that we Were pals, ; A YOUXG MAX IX A IimitY It would never be dreamed that Demp sey, was highly strung, that he had nerves. But of this I am certain. He does not beat tiimself -into fidgetiness as does Bombardier Wells ; neither is he a man who fumbles as does Beckett ; but he has that restlessness of manner that denotes the highly-strung temperament He is a young man in a hurry." He must rush and tear; that which he em barks upon he must do quickly, and it is that weakness for helter-skelterlng that has heightened my confidence that when we meet I shall take -from him- the world's title. I would explain.' ..One of the first things he ventured upon after making the match was a proposition that we should have a gme of golf. I pleaded that my game was very poor. He was impatient; he would not listen. I had got to play. So we went to the links. If he made an indifferent shot his calm ness would leave him, ; plainly did I see that If he had difficulty in doing any one given thing he .would get ruffled and rattled, and as I followed and studied him closely I threw my mind back to the picture of his fight with Willard, which I had seen so many ' times. In that contest he had Willard in ex tremis almost right away, and when he saw that he had not finished him com pletely in the first round he was all raging fire; mad because he could not do that which he realized was easy to do knock out Willard, who had no sort of defense and whose chief virtue was his immense -size. DISCOVERS DEMPSEY'S WEAKXESS Dempsey beat me easily at golf. I was nowhere, but although he must have known that he was very much my mas ter, ne aeveionea irritability and . not a little wildness when he made shots which he considered were not worthy of. him. I formed the Impression that if things did not go his way his balance is uncertain and I must confess that tbe discovery gave rue much pleasure. I know precisely .what I shall be up against when 1 get into the ring with him. We shall still be the pals that we wera on the links, but with Dempsey, as with myself, it will be a fight to the last gasp. He will com for me with the same aggressiveness as be entered into the game of golf ; he will rush and tear; he will feel that he ia strong; he will try for victory with a furious haste. Dempsey. if I understand him rightly, will gambleyiis all on his splendid power. Asfor myself well. 1 have a feeling that I will triumph, as I did against your English.-champion, Beckett It is not I who will Insist upon strength against strength, for I am free to ad- mlt that In a test ot sheer brute strength the odds would be- on Dempsey. I shall seek , to make a happy combination of boxing and fighting,, and if I succeed in doing this I shall bring back to my country the championship of the': world, and I shall have realized the greatest ambition of my-life. EXPLAIXS THE COXTBACT This is conclusion 1 The exact amount of the purse is $500,000 ; Dempsey is to get three-fifths and myself the '-remaining two. Mr. Robert Edgren, the well known American boxing writer, is to nominate the referee and judges. I am not barred bora engaging in any con tests before r meet Dempsey, out at the moment J do not intend to have any thing more serious than a small affair at Monte Carlo some time this winter. I have worked very hard since I returned to civilian life, and entre nous I am at present most concerned with what jour nalists refer to as "an interesting family event." - Milwaukie GonsoKdate Rod and Gun Clubs Is Plan A M O VE M E N T to affiliate the f Portland Gun club and the Mult nomah Anglers' club has been etartr ed, but 'no definite action, has been taken by the officials of either or ganization. -The plan has the eup port of same of ; the members of both clubs, but there are a number of obstacles to be overcome before consolidation can be perfected. ; There, also, are some objectors to the movement, and several different schemes are being discussed In 'order to bing the two clubs closer together. A plan to install a 120-foot casting pool on the grounds of . the Portland Gun club is being considered. " ' . ' TO DISCUSS PI-AX The directors of both clubs will dis cuss the consolidation plan among them selves and it may be possible that some agreement will b reached. In the point of membership, the an glers club one of the jbiggest in Port land, but only a small part of the members participate, in the casting events, which is. one of the big features of. the. organization. The Portland Gun club is considered one of the best clubs in the country. Plans have been launched for a mem bership drive by the officers of the Portland Gun club. The initiation fee has been reduced to S5 during the drive, which 'will end February 1. A year's dues, $12, must accompany every ap plication for membership. The non-resi-dert dues have been reduced from J12 to $6 a year. FOHD TO HAXDtE EVEXT Portland Gun ciub"officials.'are to'be congratulated in securing tbe services of O. N. Ford, one of the top notchers in the trapshooting world, to 'superintend its tourneys during the 1921 season. Ford is regarded by the trapshooting managers in the United States. Ford will assume charge of the Everdkig Park traps shortly aftuc the first of the year. For years, Ford bas been one of .the leading shooters in the United States. In 1908, he was Included among the best 50 shooters in the country, making a percentage of .9263 in shooting at 9315 targets. During the last four years,he has been rated among the 50 best. Two years ago, he broke 9094 out 9170 tar gets for ai mark of .9602. Ijasi year. Ford staged the world's championship shoot at the Olympic clu of San Francisco. Previous to that he was manager of the San Jose Gun club, one of the best clubs in -California. BIG. SCHOOL IX MAY The 1921 tournament of the Sportsmen Association of the Northwest will be staged over the Portland Gun club May 7, 8 and 9, if th dates applied for are granted. No date has been -t for the Oregon State shoot, which has been, awarded Astoria. It is likely that this event will be held during the early part of June. The Washington State cham pionship shoot will be t-eld at Yakima and the Idaho title mett at Gadir.?. Dates for the events hava not ben an nounced. SIX IX SIIDWEEK SHOOT C. B. Preston and W. W. McCornack of Eugene tied-for high score honors in the mid-week practice shoot of the Port land Gun club Wednesday, each break ing .47 out of SO targets. The shooters were handicapped somewhat by a high wind. -Al Cook, professional, broke 46 targets. J. C. Braley smashed 38. Herb Kewland broke 24 out of 25 and P. J. Holohan shattered 19 out of 25 targets. Plans are being perfected b the of ficers of the Portland Gun club for tne registered tourney January 16 that will mark the dedication of the new club house. Shooters from Walla Walla, Se attle, Tacoma, Aberdeen, Chehalis and other cities close to Portland will par ticipate in the tourney. v The Olympic Gun club .of San Fran cisco has announced February IS, J9, ?0 and 21 as the dates o.f its second aar hual championship tourrfey. The annual Christmas turkey shoot of the Woodburn, Or., Gun club will be held Monday. The shooters will be classi fied according to their ability. rr. 71 t til THE 1920-21 winter season promises to be a busy one for the 'junior boys and girls Of the Multnomah Aftia teur Afhletic club, says Professor O. C. Mauthe, wXo is in charge of phys ical education at the . "Winged M" club. One, of the coming "big numbers" is a fancy dress ball to take place ' some time in February. The Juniors held their first program dance in the "Winged M" gymnasium last 'Tuesday afternoon. More than- 300 j youngsters enioved themselves and more thair 200 parents were on I And to Witness the affair, which was under the direction of .Professor and Mrs. O.' C. Mauthe and Owen T. Carr. Originally the dance was to have 12 numbers, but ' the youngsters had such a good time that the program was increased to 14 dances and five extras, three of them being "tags." W. DePrato has been named coach of the Intermediate basketball . team at the Multnomah club, and the idea will be to form a combination capable of taking on all the high school .quintets iii- Portland. Quite a number of . high school stars are listed among the inter mediates, and they could form a team without injuring any of the Interscho- lastic league quints. Games with the high schools are wanted and willbe ar- rangea .accordingly. The annual jungle league for the Junior boys will start soon after the first of the ,year. The captains and teams will be selected some time this week and active "practice will start as soon as the basketball teams , are named. The annual 'gymnastic contests among the Juniors was held last Thursday night in the club gymnasium and a large crowd was on hand. England May' Have Relays The Achilles Athletic club of Lopdon, which promoted the big international track an field meet between America and GreaT Britain following the Olympic games, is planning a relay meet modeled after the University of Pennsylvania classic held each spring in Philadelphia. The Red and Blue may send a team to England to take part. : t Vfcr- i& 'Mr iw v .'Ml Wednesday ' Portlander Chairman of Ring i i n BODY IN IDAHO ' GameKeptCleaninGem State Boxing Law of Sister State Be lieved to Surpass Oregon's Ten-Round Bill. rTMIOMAS J.

Miss Ann Sherlock, at 571 North Eighteenth street , His father. John Sherlock, well known horse fancier of earlier days, died here In 1U08.

He went to Boise It years ago and has live there ever sincef save for occa sional periods when Hie has visited- his mother and sister in Portland, MUST HATE CLE AX BIIX Sherlock's wife is a Portland' girl and their ; visit here is a sort of double barreled family jaunt in that It gives her occasion to visit her own mother. Mrs. Ellen Dempsey of this city. Mrs. Sherlock's maiden name was Margaret JJempsey. I. .- Sherlock Js enthusiastic over the Idaho state boxing law, and believes it even surpasses the Oregon law. even If It does ; permit private promoting. A The game in Idaho is under the Jurisdiction of three commissioners appointed by the governor. These commissioners have complete control of both boxing and wrestling. They issue- pr deny permits, as they see fit, and approve or disap prove of all prospective bouts. . Boxers must have a clean bill of health before they can perform in Idaho, says Sher lock: , , STATE MAKIXG MOXEY The state exacts an initial license fee i0f $100 from every club incorporated and demands 10 perent of the gross receipts of all bouts. Clear profits turned over to the state since the law was passed in 1918 total $8000, Sherlock declares. - 'Clinching Is discouraged in Idaho boxing," says Sherlock, "and the men are forced to break clean at all times. One opponent cannot hit another as long as the men are touching "each other, fend each must step back three feet after a clinch before a. blow is legal. We have kept the game thoroughly clean in Idaho, because we have stood firm with the promoters and have enforced the existing law to the utmost letter. Boxing and wrestling- are both popular in certain parts of the state, and good purses and big door receipts are usually the result. The Gordon McKay-O'Dowd bout at Pocatello drew an $18,000 house, $5000 of which, with a percentage privilege, was guaranteed O'Dowd." ;. That Settled It Recently In Australia a controversy has 'been in progress regarding posses sion of the King's gold cup for eight oared shell crews, which the Australian Army crew won at the English Henley on the Thames In 1919. It has been decided to keep the trophy In the Mel bourne War, museum, although the ma jority of the crew expressed the desire that it ehould be competed for annually at the Australian rowing championships. Should Change . H Would Terminate Foul ' r . ' . T By Bob TWO main events at Milwaukie which ended in fouls, and one main event at; the Heiiig in which a foul is widely suspected, the three taking place almost within the space of a month, have done little . to stabilize or further popularise the boxing game in Oregon, The fans do not like to pay $3.30 or $3.50 to see these fiascos, whether they are deliberately intentional or merefy ac cidental. Such results are unquestion ably unsatisfactory,' regardless of who commits the foul or on whom the foul is committed, and until the end of time there will always remain a doubt, as to Which was the better man or who would have ultimately won the contests under Consideration. . gEilEDY IS ELUSIVE $It seems like some provision could or iould be made to guarantee the specta fBr iaealnst such disaDnointments. Such & suggestion comes xo lip readily, but when one gets down to the business of attempting to carry it out in w'orkable and practical form the difficulty of the task assumes the mystifying proportions of an. ancient JSgyptlan riddle. ' Making life fool-proof or crook-proof Is just about as easy. '-: : No doubt one of the things which has had no tendency to curb the foul blow i the manner in which the - modern purses are split. Boxers go into a fight tisually under an iron-bound contract Which pledges hem a certain sum, win, gose or draw. Under this arrangement i foul committed by one boxer, has abso- ? ,1 v rn fftot fin hla financial returns t he butts his man out, kicks him out, Elbows him out, or puts him out with blow below ihe belt, the result tn -rioney is me same io mm ne geis ine 250, or $500 or, $1000 or whatever tha amount may be, that was promised him in his contract.- f JfST FOB' EASY MOXEY , : Numerous incidents : could be dug up where one boxer, forseeing certain de feat, has put over a deliberate foul in preference to being knocked out, know ing that his end of the purse would not be. involved. Boxers nowadays are not the glory-hunters that the old boys of the past were, and many of them go into-the contest, with full knowledge of defeat staring them in tne race, merely to eop off sortie easy ducats, The 50-50 split in the pursej or the di vision of a purse which often gives I loser more than a victor, is not a merit system, and is doing boxing little or no good.
