In Ism, going to meet Georgen fact, all the pointă at imus are on Carpentier, the greatest French the laps of the gods. We shall boxer in the ring to-day, or of all know the answers to these any day, so far, and I must at questions on June 2. May I say once admit that should. I meet that I trust that none of the with my fourth defeat, there will ¦ mournful reflections will be locat be a wave of disappointment, noted on this side of the Channel, to mention a chorus of "I told and may I also remind my readers you so's," which may well suffice of my knack of achieving the un- not only to drown, but even to expected ??. desfen me as well. But I don't think that I am booked for that fourth defest.
:

Carpentier, I am told, is very confident. indeed, Bat then he expressed himself as being con- fident some twelve months ago, though his confidence-was-not- then strong enough for him to enter into negotiations for a contest. He is heavier, it is true, to-day, and presumably much stronger. Yet from all I can hear, he seems to be relying on his speed and skill and On certain weakness of mine (pre- sumed or otherwise) as his main stand-bys. He may be right in relying on these assets, but though he has, of course, the advant. age of a personal fest of my quali. ties when he was training with me, nearly two years ago now, I cannot but think that he is doing some very anticipatory counting of his chickens.
"A good deal of water has run down the Thames since we played water-polo in it together, and, though I fully expect to find that he has come on to a very con- siderable extent, he may alco dis- cover that his previous estimate of my qualities eired in more than one particular. Strange to say, my English critics cram to have forgotten that Carpentier has also tasted the bitters of defeat as well as I since we were camp cm. rades, and, though it is no doubi correct that he was not perhaps quite so strong as he would have wished to be when be met Frank Blans and Billy Papke, yet in both casse he was well aware that he was up against very tough pro- positions indeed, and also in both instances I am inclined to suspect that his terrible trials of calf wasting were exaggerated to come slight extent.
But when all has been said on both sidca that anyone can wish to say, there is no blinking the fact that I am going to perhaps the orucial contest of my career. Carpentier, too, will have a great deal at stake, because if he is due to mest with snother defeat, his reputation will suffer almost, if not quite, as severely as mine will do in a like misfor. tune. The French toy is admit. tedly very fast indced and very clever, while he has repeatedly proved thas he was a punch which is quite heavy enough
pat down even the strongest heavy-weight, provided he can only faced in getting it home on the desired spot. But he has got to get it there, just as I shall have to do if I am going to win by akacokont, as I hope to do. One alwaya bores that, you know, ba- cuss it is for more comfortable to decide the issue for yourself in- stead of having to wait more or less anxiously for the referee's verdict.
"Carpentier may be faster than I am. He may sɔ kɔ mora ekill- ed. That is for him to prove. But I hope and believe that he will have to show both greater Fred and greater ability if he is
