Show I GEORGES .CARPENTIER AS AN AVIATOR j s r -nF. x ' ' 1 ' Once again it is denied that Georges Carpentier will visit this country. A few days ago it was rumored that he would come here as an aviation in- structor and would be stationed at Dayton, Ohio. It is not probable that ; Carpentier will visit this country until after the war, as he is of great service ; at the front and could hardly be replaced. Carpentier has attained as much, j if not more, glory and fame as an aviator than he did when he knocked out I L Bombardier Wells for the heavyweight championship of Europe. Good 1 ; j judges of fighters believe that the Frenchman could have beaten any heavy- 1 weight in the world, but the war came on, and Carpentier gave up fame and : I fortune to enter the French army as a private, later becoming an aviator. , '. a |
