AGAINST
Vo Such Spectacles Ever Seen in Ring as Grit of Car
pentier in Dc'feat With Champion Dempsey
and Great Crowd Which Saw Battle
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
8 port ndllor Kirnlnr Public Leilgtr
COMING back from Jersey City on the siieclnl train lat Saturday I shnrcd
a section In the I'ulHnnti with Howard Donovan, of I'hlladclphla. Mr.
Donovan is not n pugilistic expTt he Isn't oven n writer, lie bclongH to that
clan known ns the dear old publlr a rlawi which makes It possible for boxers
to receive $500,000 for ono exhibition. Mr. Donovan and 01,110!) others paid
all expense of the croatcst athletic event ever held on this hemisphere and his
Tiewa are sincere and unalloyed. lie nttended the Dempsey-Cnrpentier bnttlo
a a disinterested spectator, taking the day off for putcrtnlnment purposes only.
"Now tlint It Is oil nvcr," paid Mr. Donovan, "two Impassions stand out
Ylrldly in my mind. The first Is the wonderful showing made by Carpcnticr
against insurmountable odds, lie entered the ring like a gentleman and a
oldicr. Ho did bis bi-ht. showed man-clous courage and when beaten to the
floor In- the fourth 1 felt proud of him because he went down like n man and n
true ioUllcr.
"The other is the spectacle which was so great that one was overwhelmed.
Never before have 1 teen so many people nt one event and I never expect to see
It again. It was too big and too grand for description."
When quoting Mr. Donovan, I feel ns If I were quoting every person who
was present at Jersey City on Saturday afternoon. Cnrpcntlcr was the favoTito
with the crowd and a big majority wonted to see him win. A one man put it
as he was leaving the arena: "I bet money on Dempsey nnd I hoped I would
lose."
Never before has a challenger made such a game, courageous Knowing and
11 aever before hns a big event been so satisfactory. A man was beaten knocked
out but a glorious defeat it wail Tim loser asked no quarter and none was
giVcn. He kept on fighting until the end, guve ever; thing he had, and when
ho dropped senseless to the floor, the ilrlitlns Instinct still was with him. Ho
tried .vainly to arise, but the body would not respond. It seemed as if his head
Was glued to the floor as he lay there writhing nnd mnklng n superhuman
ffort to get on his feet.
1MB QUIT fighting when there was no more fight left in him. He
proved he trai all they said he tea the greatest pugilist ever
produced in Europe. He has the heart of a lion, game to the core and
a man who would keep on fighting until death,
Georges Beaten by Bigger Man
CARFENTIER todny stands out greater and more glorious in defeat than
Jack Dcnipscy docs In victory. One writer snld he vns not beaten by a
better man, but by a bigger man. That short sentence tells the story. CSeorges
carried the fight to his opponent, much to the surprise of all. He mode no
effort to run away or stall in nine out of ten boxers would have done, but
stepped right in to give and take.
Some say that Carpcnticr made n mistake In not depending more upon his
cleverness and footwork. It is claimed he could have prolonged the battle and
perhaps lasted through the twelve rounds. I don't think so. Had the chnl-
lenger gone on the defenslva at the start, he would have been worn down Just
the samo and knocked out. The spectators would have been displeased and
Georges called a false alarm.
A real fighter never runs away or turns his back on a foe. Carpcnticr .
stepped out in the first round, leaped at Dempsey and landed a left nnd right
before the champion knew what had happened. This was a big surprise
because Jack expected the Frenchman to make It a running battle. Before he
recovered, Georges wns on him ngain nnd the titleholdcr was forced to clinch.
Immediately the crowd turned in favor of Carpcnticr. He was giving them
something they had hoped to see but didn't expect.
Hut it wns evident in the first round that there could be but one ending to
the battle, Qnrpentlcr wns fat and aggressive, but Demp-ey vn too big. In
this round, however, enmc the big surprise. Carpcnticr, endeavoring to
sidestep one of Dempsey's rushes, slipped and fell through the ropes. He
hung over the lower one like n wet towel and everjbxly thought he was
through for the afternoon.
Dempsey stood back, waiting for his opponent to return nnd win ready
to launch the final wallop. However, thero came a big surprise. Carpcnticr
returned to the ring, made a leap at Dempsey and landed a right flush on tlio
Jaw. The blow hurt nnd, to my mind, It gave Cnrpentier the confidence which
carried him through the second round and almost to victory.
CARPENTIER knew then that ho could hit Dempsey and went lack
, to his corner with a smile on his face. He talked excitedly to
Descamps, evidently telling him he icould icin in the next round.
' Dempsey in Bad Shape in Second
THAT second round never will be forgotten. Curpentier, instead of being a
beaten man, carried the fight to Jack and nt one. time it looked ns if the
champion would go down. No matter what Dempsey says or any of the others,
be was in mighty bad shape In that session.
Carpentier landed a right to the jaw and Dempsey stepped bnck. Another
truck in the some spot and then came the third.
Dempsey looked like a beaten man. The third blow staggered him. His
arms dropped and thero was a look of dazed bewilderment on hl face. At
" that instant it was a 2-to-l bet that Dempsey would not respond to the bell In
the fifth round. Carpentier was all over him and landed a clean, right upper
cut. This shoved Dempsey's head back and he was in bad shape.
That last blow, however, proved to be the end. Carpcnticr broke his
thumb nnd his right hand was powerless. Some of the experts at ringside
eald that had Georges started i body attack after landing those three hard
rights, Dempsey would have taken a short count, anywaj.
The second lound made the light, l-'ur the first time since the mntch
.had been made, there was some uncertainty as to the final outcome. Dempsey
was not the overwhelming favorite after that. Carpentier showed he had the
goods, was willing to prove he had it and it certainly was hard luck when bis
200,000 hand was broken in collision with Dempsey's $300,000 jaw.
It was interesting to watch Dempsey in that battle. In the first round
he stepped out like a sure winner, with supremo confidence in every more.
He stood straight up, his arms down, and acted as he did in his training camp
bouts. In the second, nfter getting that punch on the jaw, he held his guard
higher and, in the third, the jaw was covered by the left shoulder, using tho
crouch that made Jeffries fnmous. He used three different styles of defense,
which proved beyond question that Carpcnticr had him worried. '
"He did not use his shift the shift taught him by Jimmy Deforest in
Toledo until the fourth, when a left to the body followed by a right to tho
jaw put the Frenchman dow u for the first time.
TEiIPSEY teas tiring fait and lust a lot of his speed in the third
mJ round. Carpentier, however, teas in tcorse shape and that made it
all the better for the champion.
Dempsey Is Not Invincible
SATURDAY'S battle proved one thing nnd that Is Dempsey is not Invincible.
. He can be hit, and if he ever meets a man who Is clever nnd has a hard
wallop, he stands an excellent chauco of losing the title. This is not a slam
nt our champion, but a plain statement of fact. In Dempsey's battles, the
guy who hit the hardest has won and that guy always has been Dempsey.
Carpenter now says he will stuy here for some time and meet the other
heavyweights. Ho feels that the American public never has seen him at his
best and he wants to prove that he can win. Ho 1 nnxious to meet Tommy
Gibbons or Hill Brennnn as soon as bis hand gets better. However, Georges
does "not have to prove ngain thut he is a fighter. He showed it on Saturday.
The big battle, which broke all records for gate receipts and attendance,
was the biggest boost boxing ever hns received. Despite the weak cronklngs
o the reformers who try to throw cold water on ever) thing that might please
red-blooded men, the rhainplnnshlp bout left a good Impression.
Everything ran off smoothly. The huge crowd wns orderly, everybody
got his sent, the police and firemen were courteous nnd efficient nnd tho fight
itself was as exciting as any ow possibly could expect. It was a clean-cut
victory, there was nothing spurious about it and nobody ran call it n fake or a
f set-up. True. Dempsey was expected rfin, everybody picked him, but no
one had tho fuiutcst Idea that the chnn. .-on would be in danger.
Tex Rlcknrd deserved great credl; for going through with the affair after
Brady and Cochran withdrew nnd he certainly handled the extravaganza in a
, capable manner.

CARPENTIER IEST
F
CONTENDERS
Heavyweight Who Can Lick
Georges Would Be Match
for Dempsey
FRENCHMAN A GJAME GUY
Ily LOUIS II. JAKFE
That Georges Cnrpentier Is otic game
guy is stretched another point by. the
Frenchman's decision to remnln right
here in America, recuperate from his
defeat nt the super-human walloping
banded him by Jack Dempsey. and go
nfter the lesser lights of Uncle Sam's
heavyweights. Tho 00.000 fans that
wonderful spectacle of humanity who
saw Cnrpentier "die like n mnn'r in the
ring In Jersey City, nil were impressed
with the invader's grit, and his Inten
tion to remain here for more bouts
proves conclusively thut he is not n
quitter by any means.
Georges' extended stay in the States
also will help the future of heavyweight
competition. He should prove n sort
of n trial horse for contenders nfter a
titular tilt with tho vicious fighting
Dempsey. Most of the critics who saw
the champion stow away Carpentier In
four rounds believed that the French
man wns a rcgulnr fighter, not n false
alarm, as was the impression before
that memorable muss, nnd nre of the
opinion that Georges can whip any
heavyweight, excepting Dempsey.
That is to be proven. And it's going
to bo n great stunt. Just now Rill
Urcnnnn. who was stopped by Dempsey
in twelve rounds, Is seeking another
battle with Jack. So is Tommy Gib- ,
bons, brother of .Mike nnd who has had '
a long string of consecutive knockouts
to his credit of lntc. Neither Brennnn
nor Gibbons is entitled to n mntch!
with Dempsey yet. First, they I
should be sent against the "trial
horse."
Cnrp Has Punch '
If Ilrennnn or Gibbons can prove de. '
clslve superiority over Carpentier, nil
of which appears to be doubtful, then
they should be recognized ns opponents
for Demnscy. If Carpentier succeeds '
in oVentlng them, it would look as if i
the ( hampion is doomed to do as in-,
vincible Jim Jeffrlesi (before he met
Jack Johnson) either go Into retire-,
ment or wait until n logical opponent i
for him is unearthed.
Carpcnticr has a powerful punch.
Dempsey has refused to admit this, say
ing that he was not staggered in that
second round when he was forced to do
a back-step after Georges straight
right crossed on Jnck's whale-bone
chin. Hut, they do say thnt the camera
doesn't lie, nnd the movies of the battle
show that Dempsey wns temporarily
dazed, that ho tottered yes. and
swayed us sevcrnl consecutive Cnrpen
tier right banders dropitcd on the
champ's jaw. Jack was forced to
clinch. The pictures show it.
The proof of Carncntler's hitting
abllltv is further evidence It shows
that Dempsey is a game one himself,
nnd nlso that he can tnko it ns well ns
give it. After being sunken up so
badly in the second round it was a
physical miracle for Dempsey to come
out for the third round so strongly as
he did, still possessed the viclousness
In his blows and be nblo to gauge his
punches ns accurately as if he had not
been hurt.
Body Bunclion Win
It wns not that single left hook to
Cnrpenticr's heart, followed uy tiiai
one rlgiit-unnii puncu, mm. muijiuu mm
tho fit if time, nor wns it the final right
bander ou the chin which knocked out
the Frenchman that won tor uempscj.
Tho terrific body bombardment ex
ploded by the champion weakened Car
pcnticr sufficiently to ready him up for
the K. O. Cnrpentier admits this, &o
thnt ought to make it unanimous.
There Isn't n man In the world to
day that is, one in the ring who can
tn'nil im lipfore those terrific body
smashes of Dempsey. They took the
heart out of n much bigger man tlinn
Carpentier when Jack walloped, bocked
and rocked Jess l uinnl two years ngo,
nnd the world must wait for the de
velopment of a men at least ns strong
ab Dempsey, one who hits equally as
bard, and, furthermore, n human being
with n steel-ribbed body, before there
will bo tho making of a new champion.
Demp&ey rules unmolested nnd tho
crown llss easy on his head. Carpen
tier, it would appear, is the ncid test
for tha heavyweight who Is to come
along and knock Jack into pugilistic
oblivion.

NEXT FOE FOR J A Cfr
Short Lapse Needed Before
Battle Is Put On bt. Paul Man Near
Reach of Challenger's Perch
TT WUJi be
time before an-1
other brnco of heavyweights battle
for a purse that goes as high as $."00,
000. A few weeks nt least. But in the
meanwhile there nre still a few left who
will bo quite willing to take u portion of
what happens to be left, nnd tho crop is
fairly good. A short lapse will be
needed for every on; to take nu extra
breath or two before another cham
pionship Is mentioned, but tho prospects
will won begin to pop out of the offing
for casual, if not close, inspection.
The Beet Ones
There is Tom Gibbons, for one exam
ple, lie mny npt be n world-beater,
but he hns been slogging steadily along
until he has come within reach of the
challenger's perch.
And there la still Bill Brennnn.
D.cmpsey Is tho only man who hns ever
knocked him out, nnd Dempsey needed
torlous salute.
What's the matter with n friendly ex
change between Thomas nnd William?
Then we would know just n bit more ns
to how they should be clnrsified. A
Brennnn-Olbbons mntch would be some
thing tb look upon, nnd in addition It
would help untangle the snarl. It would
be much better to have the winner of
this match star for the championship
than to have cither move for it In n di
rect line without n testing jout by wny
of further trial. .Twit at present these
two seem to be the best among tho whlto
henvywelghts in lino.
Tiger Pairs
FIRST it wni Cobb and Crawford.
One of the Ftnnding lines of the
game used to bo "Cobb doubles to right
and Crawford drives him home."
Then It wnH Cobb and Vench. Not
quite up to the Cobb-Crawford com
bination in punching power, but still
extremely stout.
Now it is Cobb nnd Hellmnn, or, pcr
haps, Hellmnn and Cobb. This pair,
up to date, is the greatest of them nil.
They nvcrnge .-100. which Is something
nbove the nverngo of any other Tiger
