(By Associated Press)
After the disappointing eastern trip,
Dempsey returned to his home in Balt
Lake City and fought one or two In
consequential battles of which no no
tice was taken. He again was no
ticed, however, when Jim Flynn, one
of the beat of Becond-raters among
the heavyweights', knocked him out
In one round at Sal* Lake City.
Discouraged, Dempsey went to San
Francisco to pick up what matches
he could. Here It was that he met
Jack Kearns, a good Judge of boxers,
who saw In Dempsey certain promise-.
It was under the guidance of Knoms
that the future heavyweight cham
pion fought several battles in and
around San Francisco before the end
of the year. He defeated Willy Mee
han, Bob McAllister, Ounboat Smith
and Carl Morris, alt mediocre but
crafty heavyweights, in four-round
bouts. Meehan, in another engage
ment, held Defnpsey to a draw nt the
same distance.
These results were satisfactory to
Kearns,, who sought only to give his
charge the proper ring experience be
fore Introducing him to tlie east.
Kearns is one of the shrewdest "show
men" in boxing and he prepared for
the invasion of the middle west and
the east with scrupulous care, seeing
In. this rough-and-roady Utah product
a very satisfactory "meal ticket" for
the future.
Carpentier quickly developed In
physlcnl strength and weight, as w’ll
as in boxing skill, In 1910 and J.ull.
Dasoampa kept him busy during 1910,
and'although he met no opponents of
exceptional class, he learned rapidly
all the time. Four knockouts, Bix
victories, one by a foul, two draws
and two defeats,* adorn'd his record
(luring that year. Two youths, Buck
Shine and Young Snowball were cred
ited with victories over him.
By this time, Carpentier was a full-
fledged lightweight and, early in 1911,
arudiiated Into the welterweight di
vision. Hl» Arst Important battle in
tills class was with Frank Loughrey.
an American, in May, 1911. The con-
teat was fought III Parle as a pre
liminary to the Dixie Kid-Young
''Tommy" I.oughery contest.
Carpentier, received the decision
over his Arst American opppnent in
fifteen rounds of torrid boxing. The
exhibition of Carpentier was one of
the bast In his early lighting and
marked only the first of a long series
of hot hattlos the French athlete was
to have with American boxers.

Washington, D. C„ June 24.—"1'out
cities of Upper Silesia, which are re
ported to have been seized by Polish
Insurgents who feared that the bulk
of Upper Silesia was to bo turned
over to Germany, nre experiencing
real war for the Arst time since they
became cities,” says a bulletin Issued
by the National Geographic society.
"The cities are Tarnowltx, Beuthen,
Koenigshutte and Kattowltx. Though
they are situated practically at the
meeting point of pre-war Russia, Ger
many and AuJtrla-Hiingary—a rather
precarious position on the outbreak
of the world war—so valuable Is the
mining and Industrial district which
surrounds them that Germany took
care to keep them outside the zone of
hostilities. ,
“The four cities lie within a few
miles of each other and in the heart
of the coal-fields for which the coun
try Is famous. None to more than five
miles from the old Russian border,
now the boundary of Poland; and all
are almost equally close to the old
Austrian line, now that of CzSchoslo-
vakia.
"Of these cities, Beuthen alone la
of appreciable age. The other* are
the direct result of the development
of coal mines and metallurgical In
dustries In the vicinity after the
middle of the nineteenth century; and
Beuthen itself received a great Im
petus from mining and industrial tie
velopinent. It is the capital of a die
trlct, and has a population of about
4*8,000. When Silesia was a part of
the . old Kingdom of Bohemia, Bern
then was.capital or the duchy of Beu
then. The title, Duke of Beuthen,
la one of the mediatized titles among'
the German nobility.
"Konigsphutte. with nearly 75,000
Inhabitants, Is the metropolis of the
Upper Silesian, mining district and
may be considered the -Silesian Pitts
burg. It lies only three miles south
of Beuthen. In Konlgschutte la sit
uated the largest Iron works In Silesia.
Half the population is Mid to consist
of Poles.
"Kattowlts, three miles south
Konlgschutte. is supreme as a coal
market. It Is perhaps the strongest
Polish center among the Upper Sile
sian cities. Zinc, as well as coal, la
mined In the neighborhood., The place
was only a village In 1815. Its pop
ulation Is now about 45,000.
"Tarnowltx, a few miles north of
Beuthen. Is the smallest of the group.
Its Inhabitants number close to 15.-
000. In addition to iron works' it has
other metallurgical factories and lime
kllr.s. It la also a Polish oapter and
Its vote In the Plebiscite Is reported
to haVe" been markedly advene to
Germany.
"When the world war broke out
the Russians were able . |o f , push
through the aerman-Ruauian frontier
hi Its northern portion; but tbe iine
which ran a few miles west' of the
Silesian coal cities held firmly, (July

north, threatening to cut off the Up
