 Fort Erie, July 29.-Jirn1ny Hand Ter, the New Jersey middleweight, suc- cumDed to a rather humiliating defeat Defore the short-arm drives of Kid Carter of Brooklyn in the second round of 20 round bout in the arena or the International A. O. here last night.
 It required 5 minutes and 20 seconds or fast and steady fighting on the part or the aggressive and hard hitting Brooklynite to prove his fistic superb or1ty to Handler, who was knocked nat on his back with 8 short left hand JolC toward the end of the second round. With Handler still on the hoor and attempting to get up, Refer ee Eddie Mcbride stopped the con rest, at the same time sending Carter to his corner a winner.
 From the tap of the gong in the first round, until he sent Handler reeling 10 the floor, Carter landed when and about where he pleased. The Kid smashed Jimmy on the nose, jaw and stomach in the first round with such qu1ckness and speed that it was utter " impossible to tally the blows. Hand Ter never W1nced once, but kept coming pack for more, Carter always meeting him With stunning short jabs and iolts 10 the lace and body. After receiving number of cutting blows on the face Handler attempted to rush his man, but was sent flying against the ropes and almost to the floor He tried no more to land after meeting with this fusillade of blows.
 Handler did not even attempts to fight in the second round. He would walk up to Carter, take a few jabs on the jaw and an occasional swing to the body after which he would retreat and wait for the Kid to administer some more punishment.
 Carter used a short effective left jolt to the mouth in the second round which did fierce execution. He also displayed marked improvement in his Judgment of distance over his per formance against Al Weinig in the same ring two weeks ago. Carter left the ring without a mark to show that ne had engaged in a ring battle. Hand Ter bore few marks as evidence of the gruelling he took. Under his right eye was an ugly lump and stream of blood flowed from his mouth. Other wise he was apparently unhurt. Odds of 10 to and 2 to 1 were offered on Carters chances with no takers. Car ter was seconded by Kid Mcfarland, the New York lightweight, Kid Camp bell and Phil Silyerburg. Handlers seconds were his manager, Florie Ben nett, Kid Wolff and Peter Kuhns.

 San Francisco, July 29.-M Mayor Schmitz has agreed to hold an investi- gation of the recent prize fight should Fitz and Jeffries demand it. Fitz is very eager for regular legal inquiry, but he will be represented by counsel and he will demand that the local pa per produce evidence on which it print ed the charge that the fight was pre- arranged to end in the eighth round and that F'itz agreed to go out ill that round. Fitz will then bring experts and others who were seated near the ring to prove that he was squarely knocked out. The mayor is square man and he will decide according to the evidence, but his friends admit that he was too hasty in accepting the fake theory.
