New York—Boxing as an Intercolb riii«
■port is rapidly gaining supporters at
a number of colleges find universities in
all parts of the country and champion
aldp tournaments under revised r ng rules
are not at all unlikely within the next
few years. Inter varsity bouts between
picked boxing teams representing Ox
ford and Cambridge universities have
been part of the annual Enel sh sport
schedule for many years ;«nd similar
contests are not entirely unknown In the
TTnlted States.
It is expected that such meetings will
become more frequent as th<* boom In
boxing gathers strength. The tendency

Here and There In Sports
Dignitaries at Ringside
It 1h foolish to think Carpentier will
give Dempsey a hard fight because he
whipped Beckett so easily. Beckett was
far from u topnotcher, defensively. lie
tried to guard himself, but in a slow
way, from an opponent who was fast
and hud everything that ho himself did
not possess.
Dempsey will go after Carpentler from
the gong and ho simply outclasses
Georges both In physical strength and
fighting ability.
Carpentier never fought a man ap
prouching the class of Dempsey. He has
boon defeated more than once by Ameri
cans who couldn’t have lasted a round
against Dempsey when they were in
their prime.
It will be a case of a great fighter—
ten times stronger and able to hit tAn
times harder—outclassing a clever, fast,
showy boxer.
To be perfectly safe I say the flßht
won’t go six rounds, but it wouldn’t sur
prise me if Dempsey knocks Carpentier
out In two rounds.
Fact is, I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t
end that way.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
(By FRED TURBYVILLE.)
How boxing baa mounted In public
favor!
That's one good thing coming out of
the- World War.
One of the most Interested (and most
Interesting, too,) spectators at the Inter
national match be ween Georges Car
pentler and Joe Beckett in London, was
the i’rlnce of Wales. He was right there
in the first row and even though Beckett
did lose the f.'ght, he gave, the Britisher
a warm handclasp before he left the
club.
And the most distinguished rings der
that has lamped an American boxing
match in modern years saw Bob Martin
knock out Big Bill Breanahan in the
first round at Camp Custer, Mich., a few
days ago. The gentleman referred to is
none other than General Pershing, the
world hero.
General Pershing enjoyed it every sec
ond of the wSv. There wasn't much to
it. because Bob Martin put the big fel
low away in a hurry notwithstanding
Pershing was there and wanted to see
more than two minutes of fighting. It
isn't Bob’s nature to let them stay any
longer than necessary. Tn the five fights
he has had since returning from th<* war
he has scored five knockouts. It is the
same route Dernpsoy took to th * cham
pionship.
Pershing was present when Martin
won the heavyweight title of the inter
allied armies and he s greatly interest
ed in the big Akron boy who is making
such a hit in fast company.
Georges Carpentler Is a hero in France
and Bob Martin ; s :* hero in America.
We’d like to see the day when these two
fellows climbed through the ropes and
battled for international honors. m
Bet Pershing would he there, too, along
with a lot of other prominent men and
heroes of the two countries which fought
side oy side to make the world safe.
U. S. MADE MISTAKE
IN AIDING CARRANZA
By UNITED PRESS.
Washington, D. C.—The TTnlted States
made a m stake In helping Carranza into
power, but it would make a greater mis
take by intervening in Mexico, Rafael
Martinez Carillo, former Mexican sen
ator and sub-secretary of the interior
under Huerta, declared today In testify
ing in the senate’s Mexican investiga
tion.
< , arillo, now an exile in this country,
disclosed that he originated the idea of
having ba I furnished for William O.
Jenkins, United States consular agent,
who was held in prison at Puebla. M x.
Carillo charged that Jenkins’ refusal to
accept bail was evidence that he was
trying to foment trouble b tween the
United Stales and Mexico To prevent
this Carillo said he offered to furnish
the bail, but while his idea was accept
ed. his money was not.
Raoul Desevern ne. a Mexican con
nected with a New York law firm which
acts as counsel for Dr. Alfredo Caturegli,
Mexican financial agent in the TTnlted
States, testified that while in Mexico
City last spring and summer he met J.
Salter Hansen, who paid Jenkins’ hail
.money to the authorities at Puebla.
Desevernlne said he knew nothing about
Hansen except that he seemed to be a
native American.

EUROPE RAPIDLY
RECOVERING FROM
RICES OF Mil
By J. W. T. MASON.
(Written for The United Press.(
New York. —Western Europe is we 1 on
the road to permanent recovery. The
peak of unrest in France, Belgium ana
Great Britain has been passed. The Ital
ian government is recovering its author
ity, lately challenged by d’Annunzio and j
the socialists. Industrial activity is giv
ing promise of, surpassing soon the pre
war records.
The devastated regions of northern
France are being reconstructed at a
rapid pace. A urge part of the textile
trade in the -ulle distr'ct lias been re
stored and will he entirely renewed be
fore the end of the year. Belgian indus
tries are working nearly L‘o per cent run
time and by the summer should equal the
output of th*' year before the war.
Grout Britain is advancing large cred
its to continental Eoiope with which to
purchase British manufactures. This
means the British trade balance is reach
ing an equilibrium.
The European allies owe their present
recovery to the fact that they are no lon
ger waiting on America to supply them
with credits. Europe is now working on
the principle that the best way to ob
tain American credits is to prove to
American business met and financiers
that the workers of Europe are buckling
down to their jobs. Europe still is in
need of raw materials and semi-manu
factured products from the United States,
but the necessity is rot that of a pov- j
erty stricken continent
Talk of bankruptcy dying down in
Europe. The pessim»« ic troubles ot
six months ago are no longer heard.
Europe’s plight is still serious, but the
air of hopelessness which prevailed soon
after th* 1 ending of the war has disap
peared. Moderate encouragement from
the United States \vi" o a ~ -* v
•oward permanently stabilizing European
■ onditions.
Much harm has been done "European
credit seekers in America by their atti- |
• udi of appearing as mendicants. Amor- 1
lia's suspicion that the European na
tions have wanted doles instead of legi
timate loans has begun to have its effect
upon trans-Atlanl :•» statesmen. T*ie
Europeans are reaching the conclusion
that America wants to see some security
for credits in th** form cf more activity
by the working classes, a seriou s effort
at higher domestic tavation and a 'r«*at-»
er respect for the responsibilities of gov
ernment. I
Increased production is now ompha-,
sized to an astonishing exten th** new
working spirit of the Europeans. FI anee j
Ministtr K’o'z is preparing to introduce
a measure in the French parliament that
will probably double taxation. The Ital
ian government also is arranging to levy
heavy new taxes.
Italy, too. is recovering from the ef
fects of its recent revolutionary mania,
the Nitti ministry lias got the upper
hand over d'Annunxio ard also is issu
ing decrees curtailing the hours for the
sale of alcoholr drinks. This fact in it
self is a strong Indication of the in
creased authority of the Itaian govern
ment has gained. To tamper with the
wines of the Itaians is a dangerous nro-j
coed ing which only a ministry confident
of its powers wouuT attempt.
Czechoslovakia is rapidly recovering
a oaf** industrial position, but the other
central European na’iors are not so
well *»T. Their recovery very
targety on resumption of trade relations
with Russia. Foo l and raw materials In ,
Hu***!.** are awaiting export.
When the Russian b’O'-kftde once j
raided central Europe will have recov
orv eon*’ to that already made by the
i alliled powers.
