the battle. With a menacing scowl
Carpentier about the ring as the lat
ter side-stepped and ducked the
lunges in an endeavor to corner the
challenger. Crochinsr low and with
, body and fists swinging from side
to side he crept after Carpentier until
he caught him on the ropes near
a neutral cornor and began the bat
tering which presaged the end.
There was little question in the
' minds of the more expert among
the spectators as to the ultimate out
coine. Carpentier, with his speed of foot
gone, confidence shaken, blood run-
r , i t
ning irim ms nose ana moutn ana
a gash over his cheekbone, looked
like a hunted animal.
Dempsey, without mercy and like
an avenging nemesis, punished Car
pentier without mercy. The bell at
the end of the third round found
Carpentier in a semi-helpless condi
tion on the ropes and the gong
. saved him from a knockout at that
point. The fourth and final round
was soon over and the picture pre
sented by Carpentier helpless on the
floor and his stunned handlers in his
corner was in marked contracts to
the supreme air of confidence with
which the challenger entered the
ring.
Frenchman First in Ring.
Carpenter was first to enter the
n-j-mwt j'ii j iii 3 1 n, o in j'liiuiva i i
2:57 p. m. He wore a gray silk
bathrobe over his white silk trunks
and smiled and watched an airplane
flying overhead with the utmost
nonchalance. ; .. . .
At 2:58 p. tn. the. champion fol
lowed, wearing white trunks. Man
ager Doscamps was fussy about the
bandaging on Dempscy's hands,
which was twice as heavy as that
Carpentier himself wound about his
own fists; there was usual delay in
the preliminaries to a championship
contest and at 3:18 the gong called
the men to the center of the ring
for the champiionship battle.
Thfrteen minutes later the great in
ternational match, heralded through
out the world, was over, and Car
pentier was being half carried, half
dragged to his corner by the police
and his seconds. Helpless and grog-
gy, and with a blood-smeared face,
ftc did not resemble in the slightest
particular the super-confident chal
V'lenger of a few minutes before.

TiVith a lightning-like rapier blow, he
"proved a clever boxer with a mode

it-like fog before the; sun." It was but
lianother demonstration of the futility
of cleverness when opposed to actual
,fighting. .
.'; Summed up m a few words, Car
Tpentier was outclassed when Demp

(Frenchman's flying arms. Had he

But Dempsey is a fighter and
fought the only way he knows how.
i Against that attack Carpentier, game
and skillful as he undoubtedly is,
was a beaten man from the start,

heavyweights, Billy Miske and Jack
