By JACJC DEMPSEY. Hea-fywelfht Champion of the World. -(Copyright, 1920 by King feature Byn illcate Co.) - T Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept 8. Who's Tiext? 'y t Don't crowd; boys; you'll all be ' accommodated, " . i Just step forward and have a little italic with Jack Kearns, htui up a r promoter who'll put on the show and I'm ready. ti Right now I'm in shape to travel i 100, rounds if necessary. I'll fight - every night of the week if I can ; the fights. I like to fight always did. My : greatest happiness comes to me when a gong rings that sends me into bat tle with a tough foemajn. v Maybe I'll fight Gunboat Smith in "Boston September 28. A match has been offered tentatively and Jack Kearns is merely awaiting final de rails before signing.' The "Gooner" ? seems to have the idea that he can stick one over on me-tand drop me out of this championship. I'll dismiss from his mind of th belief, if we ever get together. Smith hits with a terrible kick; he's the j boy who hit me in the- second round J of our San Francisco .fight and I I didn't remember anything for 15 "minutes afterward.. He didn't drop me with that punch and I fought right along and "whipped him. 1 But )he did knock the senses out of me. There's some talk about Jess Wil- lard wanting another match. -1 won der whether he's really sincere? If he is, he can have a fight any time If Jcssv isn't convinced that I'm a better man, all he needs to do is to . jump into a ring with me again. For ; I regarded Willard as one of the easiest men to whip that I can call io mind at this time. - And Fred Fulton says he wants battle. He can have it if some -.'promoter is willing. But who'll put "on the show in face of the fact that 1 whipped him in fourteen seconds two years ago and that Harry Wills ; knocked him cold,;jut a little while ago. Georges Carpentier? Ah,, there's ;the boy. I want to meet him. Makes jno difference wher? we fight, or iwhen. It can be tomorrow. I only Jhope that he's half as great as he "Vshas been touted. That'll mean a fight. lt will mean that I have to put forth . my best efforts to win. No real fun in fighting whenthings are all your rwrt way. I like a t(.s contest. Here's ' ' the hope that Crpentier can make sit one. . - , Harry Wilfc, the negro? Well, if r'he public demands that I meet him, I'll do that very thing just as soon as some promoter talks a fairly size ' '.able purse. I sav' Wills against Ful- ! ton. He's tough and big. He can take i'tm. And he's a hard htter. But he's, &slow and awkward, I don't think 'there's much trouble soaking him a Jfew here and there. Anyway, I'd li"Ke ;to ttfy it. If there's anybody else j I that wants to take me on let 'em step forward. I aim to be a fightng ;champion. And the only way I can :make good, is to get fights.

They have each defeated the other, but Single G. has a little the better of the racord. He is owned by Ellis Franks of Liberty, III., and is being -driven this year by Harris. Russell Boy has probably hat! more drivers than any -fast pacer of recent years, racing well for all. He was once separately timed a mile in 1 :58j4 at Lexington in 1916. He forced Single G. to pace in 2:03J4 on' the half-mile track at South Bend, Ind. Russell Boy paced in 2:03 recentsly at Peoria and was second to Single G. at Dav enport.

' . i Carpentier Has Little To Fear From Levinsky ' 4 Frenchman ShoiId Emerge as Even Greater Drawing Card ' Toward Fight With Jack Demnsey. By H. C: HAMILTON. New York, Sept. 4. Tex Rickard and Jack . Kearns are hoping hard that some way will be found to in duce Ucorges Carpentier to cancel his bout with Battling Levinsky, so that the European heavyweight champion may be immediately matched with JackDerapsey for a title bout m Madison .Square car den. They fear that Dan Morgan's famous light heavyweight will prove too much for Carpentier and-will show him up s completely that there will be nothing left of what other wise would bjt a money-making match between Carpentier and Dempsey. The fears are not very well found ed. Levinsky stands to get the beat ir.g of his "life from the Frenchman and if he; does it will only serve to make the latter even greater as a drawing card with the chamnion, The American public is too prone to take Carpentier's prowess asl a fighter lightly. His record doesn't merit any such belief. That he is a game fighter from first to last is an assured facW He has speed and sci ence and can punch with the best of his size. Americans take the attitude that, no matter what he has done, there always have been extenuating cir cumstances that shade the impor tance of his victories. Yet Carpentier won on a foul from Gunboat Smith, after he' had, flooned that very good American battler and had him prac tically out. It is ia well-known fact that the referee of .this battle gave the Gunner quite a long count after the . Frenchman had knocked him down. Smith was so woozy f romhe punch that he struck Carpentier while the latter was on his knees and thus saved himself the-fgnominy of being counted out. Carpentier has twice knocked out Bombardier Wells once after Wells had knocked him down and almost. Out with a straieht right. No heavv weight ever lived who could minch harder and faster than Wells, ven if he does have that mark of a poor tighter a glass jaw. Carpentier went through long and gruelling fights with Billy Papke'ahd Frank Klaus, two terrible American middleweights. He lost one of these on a foul wHen Francois Descamps, his manager, jumped .into the ring. In the other he refused to answer the bell, in a late round and forfeited the "fight. But he came back after each ofhese encounters, strongly enough 10 win tne neavyweignt cnampion ship of Europe. When the Frenchman was a lad of eighteen he fought'Joe Jeanette, the big American negro, and, although 'the decision was made against him. there is no doubt that Carpentier really won the tight. He knocked Jeanette down andractically out in the first round of that battle, some thing airy American heavyweight would be. glad to say he could do. and, remember, Jeanette,was one of the best heavies in the world at that time! ', There, is no reason to waste sym pathy, over the Frenchman. He-is very welkable to take care of him self. Chances are he will stop Levin sky ancLo right after Dempsey. And wheifhe meets Dempsey there will be a fight. The American cham pion looks like a sure winner, but ho will find in Carpentier' a worfhy op ponent. - PIS TbeSpprtingUtorld?

They are still the largest producers of such things as surgeQps's rubber gloves. And many MHler productions are known as surgeon grade.

In million-mile tests, made by many large users, they have proved their 'supremacy over every rival tire. 'Aw a ver great supremacy.

Youngsters Cut Big Figure In Major Leagues There Has Been SHortage of New Material, But Some of the Cuhs Have Shown Class. New York, Sept. 11. Major league scouts who complain of the dearth of minor league material available' for development into the big shows should look at some of the youngsters now holding regular berths with first class teams. That there is a- shortage of material, if comparisons are made with former i : - . d - f wholesae purd,5ses frtim the minors, there is no doubt. But it also is sure that youngsters are coming along daily and are making records that are quite enviable. No truer indication -of this fact could be shown than that which is being flouted in the faces of doubt ers daily by the New York Ameri can League club.

It is doubtful if Miller Huggins could have kept his men out in front had it ' not been for Aaron Ward's remarkable blossoming into one of the game's best third basemen. He has filled a spot admittedly, the hardest on any clubf and ,has done it with credit to himself in compari son with other third basemen. Bob Meusel is spending his first year fn a major league, yet he ranks among the game s greatest hitters and has rolled up an average of bet ter than .340 already.
