LONDON, July 2o.-Sporting Life to-

was awarded the decision on a forl.
It says that according to the official
timekeeper, Smith was knocked cut in
the fourth round. but declares that
this does not justify Carpenter in
claiming a knockout, because, on ac-
had agreed that Referee Corri should
make the count and indicate to them
when the time had expired, and CORR
agrees Smith was ready 10 rise after
five seconds and was only awaiting
the signal.
With regard to the disqualification
of Smith, Sporting Life warmly de-
fends Corri's decision. and says:
CORR hesitated to disqualify Smith
because he believed the foul blow to
be neither vicious nor dangerous, and
was prepared to ordEr the fight to con-
