FRENCH CHAMPION T GEORGES CARPENTIER ___ CARPENTIER WINS IN EASY STYLE j Joe Beckett Fails to Stand l j) to Opponent For One Full Hound London. Dec. 5. Holborn Stad ium Ringside—Georges Carpentier, the French lighter, won the heavy weight championship of Europe j here to-night by defeating Joe Reck- j ett, champion of England. Carpen- : tier knocked Beckett out in the iirst round. The knockout came after ! one minute and ten seconds of light ing. After tlie light Beckett said to the newspaper men: "1 hadn't started | to tigj-.t, when 1 got it. 1 didn't rea lize what had happened. 1 was just I 'Ailing in' for the lirst round, when he slipped in." In iho Holborn Stadium to-night ( an English debacle was staged be- ! fore tlit Prince of Wales, noblemen j and some of the wealthiest men of j the British empire. A Gory Wreck Joe Beckett, heavyweight cham pion of England, wearing a union jack twisted around his waist, fell j in amazingly quick time before ' Georges Carpentier, heavyweight j champion of France. The crowd, with iis big outpour- j ing of distinguish.yl spectators, had hardly rested back in its chairs in I anticipation of a long and animated j struggle when the referee was seen; counting Beckett out. in less than out- round—one min- | : ute and ten seconds to be exact — ' Carpentier had liatt. bed Beckett on l tlic floor, a gory wreck. Beckett Had Weight Overcoming a handicap of fourteen i pounds of English beef, the clean- j cut and energetic Frenchman start- | ed a storm of' blows just after the handshake that quickly overwhelm- j' ed the astounded Beckett. Taking the aggressive, Carpentier landed a jab to Beckett's face and 1 ' easily dodged a right-handed upper- ; 1 cut that tlie Britisher started in re- ' turn. After a bit of boxing, it), v.hft-h the Frenchman clearly out-' pointed his lethargic opponent. Car- ; pentier shot a right-handed upper- j ( cut with every bit of his strength j behind it. The blow struck Beckett's chin j and he fell as if pole-axed. Ho was ' so dazed that he lay a motionless j'• hulk of brawn as the referee count- ; ' ed over hint. After the fateful t; "ten." Carpentier helped tlie arbiter | ■ in lifting the vanquished Britisher to his corner. Quick Eliding It was one of Hie quickest chain- ' pionship lights ever held under the ; Marquis ot yueensbury rules and came so suddenly that for a while ; the tremendous gathering of boxing ; lovers stayed pinned to their seats J dumbfounded. Then when they ; realized what had happened before i their wide-open eyes, the drama be- 1 ing enacted so quickly that it ! couldn't he followed, they arose and soon were cheering the remarkable ; feat of the victor. Blow Was Decisive Seventy-four seconds, as announc ed by the official timer, sufficed fo decide whether Carpentier or Beck ett should meet Jack Dempsey, the ' American heavyweight, for the ! championship of the world, in June next.

Beckett never had j a chance of hitting the agile French man, who landed blows with enor- ] nious strength whenever he felt in clined. Amid absolute stillness most of "the : spectators could hear the terrific crack of tiie swing that put Beckett j to sleep. There was a roar of cheer- ' ing as Carpentier assisted Beckett j to his corner, where the Englishman ; opened his astonished eyes and saw i his oppouent being carried on the ! shoulders of some of the enthusiasts ( around the ring. N The contestants presented a nota ble difference in appearance when i they stripped and were introduced— Beckett swarthy and muscular. Car- j pentier white-skinned, with sliglit 1 figure. Carpentier looked about j him as though neoustomed to his ! surroundings; Beckett seemed some- i what nervous. Peers and peeresses, members of i the House of Commons, high ofll- ' cials of state, many women, most of j them in evening dress, and the Prince of Wales, newly returned from his American trip, looked the fighters over critically as they squared up. The Prince congratu lated the winner after the fight. C. B.
