Fiitsch, lightweight champion of
lYnnco, who met Sammy Mandell of
Rockford, 111., in the eight round semi
final. They rooted for Paul to finish
second—and he did. Mandell won all
the way and had Fritsch In a bad
say in the last two rounds. It was
hardly a gala day for France.
Tiresome Prelims.
It was a picturesque, eolorful
crowd, and it sat patiently through
out a seance of doleful preliminaries,
meaning nothing, or even loss. These
were brought on in seemingly endless
suc cession by the promoters, who took
no heed of gathering storm clouds and
occasional drop of rain.
In the crowd were men prominent
in civic and fistic realms. Governor
Kranch. under whose benign auspices
the affair was tolerated officially, oc
cupied a ringside box. rubbing elbows
with Jimmy Johnston and Mat Hinkle,
promoters; Senator Jimy Walker,
fether of the New York boxing law,
and Young. Stribling and Charley
Yc'htte, boxers.
The betting, kif any, favored Gib
bons, a gentleman staking a perfect
ly good horse against a motorcycle
that the American would win. This
was tantamount to giving odds, the
writer having seen the motorcycle.
Actually, a few small bets were of
fered and taken at odds of 6 to 6 on
Gibbons, the boys having arrived at
tlie conclusion that a red apple is not
nlways a ripe one and that Car
pentier's impressive show of outward
health, might conceal inward dts
( crepancies.
The day was surh as Inspires poets
to commit sonnets at random, and a
festive time was had by all, particu
larly Georges. His heart was glad
dened by the receipt of a certified
j cheek for $70,000 before he ao much
as donned a mitten, thus relieving his
mind of any temporary anxiety It
may have held concerning the wolf
in the vestibule. Gibbons took away
•i pc r cent of the receipts, which
were estimated at close to $260,000
real American dollars.
Can Keep Secret.
Ail other statistics were kept a Ma
L ronie secret until Just before the
x-^nt. Roth Carpentier and Gibbons
■ * w ie scale shy this morning and prr
aved the secret -of their actual
'• eight like a woman with an embar
! a using age.
The weights were to he announced
at ringside, although the making of
we;ght was neither necessary nor cs
s-ntial, according to the articles of
agreement.
in any case tile crowd that over
ran this little resort settlement cared
nothing about the matter. It simply
' took up the serious business of ar
riving early and waiting long. The
general admission seats went for a
canter long before noon and those
who dallied on the way found them
selves out on a thin limb. Mr. Fitz
f simnions' arena had every con
venienee even to the matter of fur
nishing an Impromptu entrance up
Ine outdoor walls, many noncash c us
tomers arriving in this undignified
manner.
A plausible gent In a brown suit who
' went over the top and took an Inno
cent se.it among the others finally
was spotted by the law horrible and
escorted by the gendarmes to the
cuter darkness. The parade then
went Into reverse, automatically.
F vnred by perfect weather hnth
principals indulged in a short walk
along the lakeshnre some hours be
fore the tight, which was scheduled
for semie time between 3 and 4 o'clock,
central* standard time. Gibbons did
not arise until 11 o'clock, and after
gima light exercise ate a frugal break
«ft of two eggs,'toast and some
milk. H« will not eat again until
after the fight.
Carpentier ata a mors generous
breakfast and seemed to be in excel
lent spirits.
The town was overrun by the crowd
before the fight. The sidewalks were
Impassable and the streets a steady
two-way stream of motor cars. Little
betting was In sight and that at even
fi, money, with a tendency to favor Glb
' bons at 6 to 5.
Neither man appeared at fight head
quarters to weigh. Carpentier re
fused to get on the scales and Gib
lions agreed to oblige only the stalls
ticlans at his training ramp. The
articles of agreement do not require
any special weights, but It is under
stood each is near 17S pounds.
Wild Rumor.
Wild rumors filled the air as the
throng waited for action, beguiled by
a very brasa hand and lissome young
ladles, In fetching Jockey costumes
selling popcorn. One of th# reports,
towlt, that Gibbons had declined to
weigh In, was declared to he fact, not
fancy, In spite of the fact that Eddie
Kane, his man of business, denied It
with much heat and a ready tongue.
Another story was to ttie effect that
Carpentier also had declined to he n
party to the weighing In proceedings,
tiut subsequently it was announced
that the Frenchman had weighed 1731 i
pounds. A third report that Francois
I icsc imps was frisked of ills roll by
an enterprising American "dip."
-p i'll is prompted many to park their
* money In unostentatious spots and
■ the rest kept one eye on the ring and
| one hand on the pocket as the ring
H aide rovre slowly filled up.
I Notables Present.

New York boxing and baseball laws:
Mayor Frank Higue of Jersey City,
und other notables of the sport world.
Our Mr. Rickard made reservations
but was not visible to the disrobed
eye an hour before the bell. It was
reported, however, that Frank Flour
noy. his business associate, had been
seen in Circulation downtown.
The boxers had put In a restful day
waiting for the moment and neither
was due to arrive at the arena until
3:30 o'clock central standard time.
The action was not to begin until
nearly* 4 o'clock.
Long before the last hour the last
seat had been disposed of, leaving
Fitzsimmons and his associates
nothing to do hut to sit down and
count their annoying money.
It was announced by Fitzsimmons
at 1 o'clock that the total receipts
Were in excess of $325,000. The enter
prise wns a complete "sell out,” Fitz
simmons announced In tones of pride
and joy.
Mickey Cohen of Kokomo, Tnd.,
w'ho looked like Mickey, but fought
like Cohen, stepped out with Johnny
Croake of Chicago In the inaugural
number of four rounds. To carry out
the illusion Cohen wore green tights
and at the end of the first round, a
bloody lip.
"Put ’Em Out.”
"Put 'em out,” shouted a second,
hut no one knew whether: he was talk
ing to one of the principals or the
police. It was all very sad. At this
juncture, some of the restive gents In
the general admission section crashed
down among the aristocracy. Some
few were repulsed with great loss of
dignity, If any.
The Cohen Croake tragedy was fair
ly even for three rounds, Michael
showing an educated left and Johnny
a disposition to besiege the body In
the clinches,
A man fainted at the ringside and
was carried out before he could ex
plain whether Mickey and Johnny
were responsible. Circumstantial evi
dence was strong, however..
At the end Mickey was entitled to
the benefit of the doubt, of which
there was much. 1
Cave .'Inn Act.
Danny Kahn and Jack McCarthy,
both of Chicago, put on a caveman
act of rfuur rounds In the next en
counter. Kahn swarmed all over his
man for the first two minutes of the
opening round, but led with his Jaw
against a hard right Just at the bell.
Three rights to the jaw and another
to the stomach prompted Kahn to lose
some enthu;iasm in the second. The
men missed with great abandon. Be
tween the third and fourth rounds of
the Kahn McCal lliv bout, the threat
of rain became more sinister, hut
the promoters had made no announce
inent of any Intention to advance the
hour of the main event.
The Kahn McCarthy affair went the
limit for no reason at all, and Mc
,1'arthy got our vote. Another bout
immediately was put on. Instead of
the big event, In spite of the threaten
ing weather. Not all of the blg-tlme
seats were occupied at this hour and
It was said that the promoters had no
wish to anticipate the arrival of the
cash customers.
Jack Kane of Chicago and Farmer
Joe Cooper of Terre Raute, Ind., then
obliged In another four-round set to.
They were lightweights. At that mo
ment, Kmmet F. Branch, governor of
Indiana, strolled In with a party of
friends and occupied a ringside box.
The governor brought a faint smile
from the weather man, the sun
making an effort to break through
the clouds
Cooper made human hamburger
out of Kane s pan and earned the ver
dict, popular and otherwise.
Next In order were .Tack M<
Donald and Charley Van, Chicago
heavyweights, an another four round
er. Dave Barry, former boxer, was
the referee. McDonald reminded
some of ths rlngsldera of Jim Jef
fries. He was so different.
Van was entitled to the honors at
the end of four gory rounds.
Next on the program were Alex
Trambitls of Portland, Ore., and
Patsy Rocco of Chicago, welter
weights. The referee was Jimmy
Clabby, old time carpet bagger of the
pugilistic profession and a fine fighter
In his day. At the conclusion of the
second round, there was not a seat
minus an Occupant In the house.
Rocco had a shHde on Trambitls for
three rounds, hut Alex slapped out a
bit In the fourth and earned a slight
edge tin the session. In the fifth,
however, Rocco opened Alex's eve
wilh an accidental butt and then
proceeded to carry the pace the rest
of the way and gain the derision.
Frankie Barela of Los Angeles end
Patsy Flanagan of St. Louis, feather
weights, were next In ord»r. Eddie
MoBoorty, inlddelwelght star of an
other day and age, was the official.
While the bout was In progress, heavy
clouds again appeared and the pros
pect of rain was imminent.
Begins to Rain.
Garcia went out to a long lead In
the first three rounds, bouncing
punches off Patsy's dial at will. Patsy
was tough, however, and rallied nice
ly In the fourth, carrying the fight to
the coast entry. It began to rain
lightly during the fifth round.
YpII for Fight.
"Bring on the big fight,” the
crowd called as it felt the first few
drops of rain. Immediately it was
announcer) that the main event would
be put on Immediately after Garcia
and Flanagan ceased. Cagrla earned
our vote without a dissenting mur
mur.
Tom Gibbons was the first to en
ter the ring, climbing through the
ropes at 3:58 central standard time.
Immediately Carpentier entered the
ring.
Gibbons received a generous hand
from the crowd, bowing right and
left like an actor. He had his hands
encased in bandages.
Not more than two minutes later
Georges Carpentier stepped into tlie
ring, grinning like a banshee. The
crowd gave him a good reception
but It was hardly a faint echo of the
ovation the Frenchman received at
Jersey City when he stepped out to
meet Dempsey,
He raised his hands above hist head
and clasped them there to shop- his
good will, smiling right and left, lie
wore a gray bath robe and a care
free expression.
The first thing he did was to clutch
Gibbons’ hand and shake It like a
pump handle.
Desi hanips Grins.
Meanwhile Deschanips rushed fran
tically from one side of the ring to j
the other pointing nnd grinning, lie
wore his trick skull cap giving the
appeifonce of a far eastern monk.
He insisted upon Gibbons removing
the bandages from his hands, point
ing and shouting excitedly "No, No."
when the American protested. Gib
bons was then unwound while the
crowd shouted impatiently for the
procodings to begin. Haiti had been
falling just prior to the entry of the
principals Wtit was kind enough to
stop.
The principals were Introduced to a
crowd that needed no introduction.
Carpentier being presented first. He
received a fairly generous hand which
was completely submerged In the
roar that greeted the Gibbons' pro
sentation. Cnrprntier's weight was
announced at 17fi pounds. Gibbons.

Dickerson. In* the stage wait that
ensued. Descamps turned nnd faced
a section of the crowd, saying:
' Gentlemen, please, let us b<* sports
Let the best man win.”
Carp Agrees.
Carpentier put in the waiting mo
nirnts arguing with Tilly "Kid" Her
man, one of Gibbons hnndlers. Tom
danced about nnd feinted at his man
ager, Eddie Kane. When Carpentier
stripped for action he wore the
French colors at hia belt. They were
then called to the center of the ring
by Referee Dickerson to receive the
instructions. In attempting to make
clear a certain point, Carpentier
grasped Gibbons and pushed him
rather heavily across the ring. Tom
hung on and replied with a similar
Jester.
