Beck ett's eyes opened as this was done and his seconds said to him: "Joe, you're out." Beckett was unable to understand it all for a moment, but he seemed to comprehend when the crowd be gan to invade the ring. l Carpentier was hoisted to the shoulders of the4 first of the crowd that reached him. Everybody in the stadium was cheering, including the prince of Wales, white tens of thou sands of persons who had gathered outside in the street were shouting their tribute to the victor. . The only effort made by Beckett in the fight was to cut " loose a vicious uppercut with his right after he had received the first jab to the face. The blow missed by more than a foot. . Started at 13 Years. Georges Carpentier was born at . Lens, France, January 12, 1894. He began boxing when only 13 years of age. This was in 1907 when-boxing was beginning to be popular in. France. He was both skillful and aggressive and in 1909 scored many victories, defeating among others Charles Ledoux, the French bantam weight champion.

By far the most successful sea sons in several years, the state col legiate foot ball conference closed 1 hanksgiving day, . with York a leader by a wide margin. The Ne braska .Wesleyan university was runner up with Peru, Hastings and Cotner close in the race. York closed the season undefeated. , , It is doubtful .whether, in second ary college circles, two teams as perfectly balanced and coached as the York and Wesleyan teams, have ever competed in a single season. The writer .attended the York-Wes-leyan game at York when'the latter lost by three touchdowns but, aside from the Syracuse-Nebraska game MRS. CLEMENS GIVEN SURPRISE BY THE RESULTS After Ten Years' Suffering She Takes Tanlac and Now N Finds Herself Well. ? "Teniae has not only overcome my troubles, but it has given me so much life and strength that I feel better than I have in ten years, was the statement made by Mrs. Angie Clemens who lives at 96 Col lege avenue, Rosedale, Kansas, while talking Jo the Tanlac repre- . sentative the other day. - "During the past ten years I have been troubled so' bad with indiges tion, rheumatism, nervousness and liver trouble that my condition had become serious," Mrs. Clemens con tinued. "My appetite was poor and what little I ate disagreed with me and gave me terrible pains in my stomach and gas formed so bad that it made breathing difficult for me. The rheumatism was all through my system and troubled me nearly all the time and my liver bothered me a great deal. I was so nervous that the least) little sudden noise or sound would make me jump and at night I was too restless to sleep good and many a time I have lain awake till after midnight un- , able to close my eyes. Every morn ing I got up so weak and tired that all day long I felt worn out, and at times I could not walk around the house on account of the pains in my knees and back. "I spent hun dreds of dollars on different kinds of medicines and treatments but I got only temporary relief and I was : in such wretched health I knew I couldn't go on in this condition much longer. "Finally I began to read about Tanlac in the papers and as 'some of my neighbors who had tried it recommended it to me I commenced taking it And to my surprise ' I was feeling greatly improved by the . end of the first week and I kept on getting better until now I am in fine health again. I have a splendid appetite,! everything I eat digests perfectly with no bad effects at alL My liver is in fine condition and the rheumatism has just about all disappeared and my nerves are as steady as a clock. I sleep sound all night long and get up feeling so . fine that my housework is a pleas ore to me and I am training in j weight "and .strength right along; Tanlae deserves all the credit for ray well and happy condition and I am only too glad to recommend it publicly for it has done, more for ! me than everything else combined." Tanlac is sold m Omaha at all 'Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also For rest and Meany Drug Company in fist in each city and town through outh Omaha and the leading drug oat the state of Nebraska. Adv. ing and defeating men in the welter weight, division. The Frenchman scored his first sensational victorv when he knocked out Jim Sullivan, the English middleweieht m two rounas at Monte vano, in m. At Ghent, the following year. Car pentier, after being knocked down twice by Bombardier ' Wells, the English . heavyweight - champion. knocked out the British representa tive in the fourth round. The fact that a French lad 18 years old and only a middleweight, had knocked out the cleverest English heavy weight seemed to some of the lat ter' backers a fluke. ' Carpentier dispelled this doubt, however, when he . went over to London and knocked out Wells a second time, ending the bout in the opening round. Forty days afterwards, Car pentier fought Pat O'Keefe, the English middleweight champion, and scored a knockout in the second tound. Lost to Jeanette. Joe Jeanette, the American negro heavyweight, defeated Carpentier 4 early in 1914, but after that and pre vious to the declaration of war be tween France and Germany, the French champion . won decisions from Kid Jackson and Gunboat Smith on fouls. . A few k hours after the Smith fight, Carpentier, who was in Eng land, returned to France on the night boat in answer to his coun try's call, and the following day was in uniform. During his early ring career Car pentier grew rapidly from d bantam weight to a light heavyweight and beat the European champions in each - class as he progressed. He amassed a fortune variously esti mated at from $200,000 to $500,000! Most of this money he invested in coal mines near Lens, where he was born, and lost everything there by the Germans' invasion. During the war, Carpentier was conspicuously daring as an aviator. He was frequently commended by his superior officers, and among the many decorations conferred upon him was the military medal, the highest war honor that can be given to a French soldier. , Hadn't Started. , After the fight Beckett said to the newspaper men: - "I hadn't started to fight, when I got it. I didn't realize what had happened. I was just 'filling in'-for the first round when he slipped in." When the aero-flares announced the decision Londoners were unable to believe it; they thought a mistake had been made. Dempsey Not Surprised at News of Carpentier's Victory Los Angeles', Dec 4. Jack Demp sey, heavyweight champion, said here Carpentier's victory over Beck ett in London was no suprise to him, as he and . his manager. Jack Kearns, had picked the French champion to win. Dempsey said Carpentier was a more scientific, quicker and harder hitter than Beckett '"I am ready to fight Carpentier or any other fighter in the world if I get my price," said Dempsey. "Carpentier in all probability will be my next opponent and the meet ing probably, will come off next spring." Promoter of Carpentier- Beckett Bout Coming Here London. Dec. 4. (Bv The Associ ated Press.) C B. Cochrane, the promoter of the Carpentier-Beckett fight, will leave here for the United States in a few days. He hopes to arrange for a championship match between Jack Dempsey and Camen ticr to be held in London in 1920. of ' Thanksgiving, ' it was the best game he ever saw.

Three players stand oilt, head and shoulders, above all others in point of all-round excellence. These are: Car, center, Wesleyan. ' Myers, ena. Yorlc .Panek, halfback, York. " Of the three, Panek, Frank's bril Iiant field runnine back, is the greatest. He is the same Alb Panek who played basket ball so well with the Kearney high school. And dur ing this season, 1 coupled with the brilliant punting of Myers, has been a good part of York s game. Carr is a great center. He charges on every play.

The fuel situation will have no effect on the Wilde-Sharkey boxing bout in Milwaukee Saturday ' night. There is enough coal in the Auditorium. wnere the bout is planned to be held, to heat the building for a month, according to the promoters. Uvick-Suderiberg Mill Off Until ReUf in Fuel Situation Here Promoter Al Fiori of Council Bluffs announces that the six-round bout between Billy Uvick and John ny Sudenberg . and the wrestling match between Charley Peters and the Chicago Mystery Man will be held up until the present coal situ ation is relieved. The show probably could be held with artificial heat, but the matter of lighting the Council Bluffs Audi torium ia a problenr that Fibri is unable to solve. The original date was Friday, December 12, but Fiori declares he "will not' attempt to stage the show until all danger of a coal famine is past. 7 Rickard Says Carpentier ; ' Is Logical Title Contender ' New York, Dec. 4. "Georges Car pentier is apparently the logical con tender to meet Jack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight champion ship," said Tex Rickard, the promd ter, when informed by The Associa ted Press of the result of the London battle, on afs return from Chicago late Thursday night. "Staging such a bout, however, is far from being an easy task," con tinued Rickard. "There are many difficulties that stand in the way'and I am not at all certain that I care to consider such a proposition at this time. Both Dempsey and Car pentier would undoubtedly expect a very large sum in the form of purses and guarantees and there ap pears to be very few places that would be likely to return gate re ceipts sufficient to warrant the im mense outlay involved. "If a boxing law permitted even a 10-round no-decision bout in or near this city, it might be possible to stage the match here, but it would require a large city like New York to draw from in order to make the bout a financial success. I have not the slightest doubt that a match be tween Carpentka and Dempsey would be a great boxing contest, but in these times of inflated prices I would prefer to. let some other person do the worrying and work in cidental to such a match. I should have to see more profit than is visi ble at present before I would be more than a spectator." Wage increasesMhat range from $3 to $5 a week have been secured by the bakers' union in San Fran cisco. Night work is eliminated, ex cept for dough mixers. Pesek Winner in Match With Warren Miller Callaway, Neb., Dec. 4 (Special Telegram.) John Pesek was the winner of hi? 'match here last night against Warren Miller. Miller was at the mercy of the Shelton farmer from the time the two went on the mat and Pesek was returned win ner of the first fall in three minutes after time was called. Miller came back strong in the second fall, stay ing 14 minutes before Pesek pinned him to the mat. Want 1924 Olympiad. 'Chicago, Dec. 4.

JUDGE RESERVES DECISION; BOARD TO F I LE BRIEFS New York Club's Attorney De- -clares ' Johnson Exceeded Authority in Calling Ameri can League Meeting. New York, Dec. 4. After hearin: arguments on the application of tht New York American Leigue club for an order restraining President.
