s the sense of the meeting that
Marquard had been sufficiently pun

al league was concerned, " he was
eligible to play.
Marquard was given in an even
trade by the Brooklyn Nationals to
the Cincinnati club for Walter H.
Reuther here today.

' - . ,
in the transaction. - I he trade was
made on the condition that both
clubs assume the responsibility of

Y Del Pratt is the only one of the
players about whom there seems to
be doubt about playing next season.
He signed a contract as athletic
coach with a western university, at
' the conclusion of the last season
and declared his intention to quit
base ball. The Yankee manager,
however, today expressed confidence
that Pratt will play next season.

no- desire to punish llarquard
further because of his alleged ticket

Here's Tiat Caqentier Thinks of Champion Dempsey
Light HeavyweighthChamp

By GEORGES CARPENTIER.
Light Heavyweight Champion of I
the World.
(Written XtprvMly for the InteraaUooal

(Copjrlf hi, mo, by International Newt
Henries and landau 8unday

London, Die. 6. "And I am glad
to know you.
This was how Jack Dempsey
greeted me when we met to sign
articles to fight for the championship
of the world. Which was very dif
ferent from what I had expected and
was led to believe. I had pictured
Dempsey as a big, roaring fellow,
with' little personal harni, intoler
ant rather, not nice, a stranger, to
softness and what passes for com
mon courtesies. I made the pleas
ant discovery that, outside the ring
at least, h?tis just a human, weii
ordered young man, softly spoken,
extremely pleasant in a quiet, re
served way, and altogether opposite
to what I had prepared myself for.
At least on 50 occasions, when alone
I liad seen him. as represented by
the film in his fight with Willard,
fierce, vicious, terrible mercilessly
punching into helplessness the big
gest Heaviest man i nave ever seen.
That was the .only Dempsey, I
knew until I met and spoe to him
but a few short days ago.
My opponents have been many
and of a widelv different stamp.

immensely courageous--but never a
fighting man like Dempsey. There
may be the brute in him; I believe
there is. as there surely is m all or
vs; but he is not the monster he has
been represented to be. Kathcr
would I say that he has been mis
understood; for . he has a minU a
soul and an intense, liking for lite
that is not of the ring.

the long drawn-out negotiations,
and the match was definitely made
in a few minutes. Then it was that
he gripped me heartily by the hand
and took me on one side to chat
about things far removed from the
hammering and butchering business
this fight is expected to be. We did
not talk one word of fight; we were
just two ordinary business men with
many ideas in common. I do not
think, by the wayMhat she shall meet
in the ring before th first week
of next July.
Dempsey Looks Boyish.
In appearance Dempsey, who is
18 months younger than myself,
looks like an unusually big, and
strong lad. I was surprised at his
boyishness, and he has the ways of
a hnv; I should say that he has
no liking for fuss and ceremony,
and' he is not given te Doasun u
bragging. ' There is nothing of the
swaggerer about Dempsey, and I am
certain that he has been misrepre
sented by the exaggeration which,
all too often, creeps into the box
ing columns of his country s news
papers. Neither do I think he is
a party to the thumping of the big
drum which is thought necessary to
impress pon the world that he is
the greatest pugilist ever reared by
his country. ;

w;! far which althoueh not finely
chiseted, is not like that of Beckett,
as you' would perhaps imagine it to
be from the published photograph?
of him. It advertises tenseness and
determination, yet when he allows
a smile to play about it it is almost
a kind, sympathetic face. Certainly
it is an arresting and engaging face;
There is much about Dempsey
that would cause Sou to pick him
out of a crowd; he is so obviously
powerfuhand serious and fit he is
not of the Broadway. So far he is
unspoiled, a healthy, natural man,
who, by ready assimilation of what
he has seen and heard and read,, has
"more than average intelligence. He
i docs not tal a great deal; when he
does talk he reveals the practical,
the commonsense mind. His belief
in himself is supreme, but the -success
he has won in the hardest
school a man' can pass through jus-
tifiesL that belief. Any man who can
win first olace in the American
school of fighting must be conscious
of his greatness, and he must be a
believer in himself. But DempsejNs
no advertiser of himself, and when
I left him he swore that we -were
palo. ' . " '
A Young Mian in a Hurry.
It would never-' be dreamed, that
Dempsey was highly strung, that
he had nerves. But of this I am
certain. ' He does' not beat himself
into fidgetiness as does Bombardier
Wells; neither is he a man who
fumbles as does. Beckett; but he has
that restlessness of manner that de
notes the highly-strung tempera
ment. He HJ a younger man in a
hurry; he must rush and tear; that
which he embarks upon he must do
quickly, and it is this weakness tor
helter-skeltering that has heightened

Lthings he ventured upon after mak

ing the match was a , proposition
that we should, have a. game of golf.
I pleaded that my game was very
poor. He was impatient; he would
not listen. I had got to play. So
we went to the links. If he made
an indifferent shot , his. calmness
would leave him; plainly did I see
that if he had difficulty in doing any
one given thing be would get ruf
fled and rattled, and as I followed
and studied him closely I threw my
mind back to the picture of his fight
with Willard, which I had seen so
many times.
In that contest he had Willard in
extremis almost .right away, and

Discovers Dempsey's Weakness.
N Dempsey beat mc easily at golf.
Ir was nowhere, ; but . although he
must have known thathe was very
much my master, he developed ir
ritability -and not a little wildness
when he-made shots which he con
sidered were not worthy of him.
I formed the impression that if
things did not go his way, his bal
ance is uncertain,; and I must con
fess that the discovery gav? tme
much pleasure.
, I know precisely what I shall be
up .against when I get into the ring
with him. We shall still be the pa's
we were on the links, but with Demrn
sey, as with myself, it will be a frght
to the last gasp. He , will come for
me with the same aggressiveness as
he entered into the game of golf;
he will rush and tear; he will feel
that he is strong; he will try for
victory with a furious haste. . n
