Hal Cochran, in thin Mory ot CnncnUcr'n Ufo, WTllton for tho Her ald, tells of tho struggl" of ,us OIMV thno mine pit boy In rWng to the llKht-hrvyAlKht championship of tho world. mr haij oooiniAN CHAPTBn r Fifteen yoofs ago Georges Car pentler. at tho ago of 12, was pit boy In a coal mine in Lens, Franco. That little obscure mining town hod been tho sceno ot his childhood play doys nnd of his early schooling. Ho was born of poor parents nnd as soon as ho was old enough. Joined his father, a minor, In dally trips to tho insldes ot tho earth. Tho youth a wook?y earnings wont to help keep tho wolf' from tho Carpcntlor door. In thoso days Goorgos was a tlmla appoarlng, falr-halred youth, -with nn appearanco far from that ot a lad who would Indulge In anything that rouoirod tomU and brawn. " wa gonerally looked upon as a fireside mother's boy. Working in darkness all day long, away from sunshine and open air, didn't appeal to Georges. He want od to do somothlng elso. 'With that thought ever on his mind, ho occa sionally went, after working hours, to a boxing school that had been opened In tho town by a Prof. Fran cols Doscamps. Ltko many other youngsters, Goorgos Just hung around and watch ed fighters work. Finally bo became -welt known as ono of the youngsters In tho town, and was now and then allowed to slip on a pair ot gloves htnvsolf and mix in the sparring and battling. Ono night ho gave a much bigger fellow a good drubbing. Descamps witnessed tho bout and was much Impressed with tho falr-halred kld'a showing. Goorgos was encouraged to como to the school more regularly. Evontually tho professor had a hunch there was something that goes to make real battlers in the kid at loast a lot of nerve. Descamps took the matter up with Carpratler'a parent. He wanted to tako their son under his wing nnd train him. At first thoro was much objection, but Descamps' persistency won out and Georges loft his pit-boy task for all time. From then on the youngster was at tho gym almost day and night. Rough edges wero trained oft ot him and he was stacked up against the best fighters in Descamp's lot in 'short notice, Mmo Vanhllbroucq, Des camp's mother-in-law, took an inter est In the boy from the Btart. Outside battles, with a money an gle to them, however, woro few and far betweon. And money talkod mighty loud with Descamps and his youthful pupil. Hence they wont on little tours and Carpentler staged exhibition bouts in cates. at night. Let Georges tell you about it htmselt; "First wo staged a tight; then fol lowed with an acrobatic turn. As a grand finale I allowed .myself to be eent Into a tranco by Descamps and did 'thought reading.'

Dut bunkum, or no bunkum, the monoy rolled In and this, to say the loast, was pleasing to master and pupil. Finally Carpentler's first real bout came with Bourgeois the latter part ot 1907. Georges trimmed him in 47 rounds and followed shortly with another 4-round win over Wetlnck. Carpontler was battling as a fly weight, being Just in his 13th year and still far from developed. Hit third bout saw him get a drubbing from Mazoir, a much-touted battler, Jn 4 rounds. ' This boating, however, didn't taxe Georges. Ho had picked up some pointers, and that's what the youth' was after. Tho year 1908 took him into the' ring with men who had gained real reputations.
