The French sports were so sure that
Georges Carpenter would defeat Joe
Jeanette in their fight over in Paris
that they turned out in vast numbers
and more than $50 600 was taken in at
the door. 1t is said that fully $1,000
persons witnessed the contest, which
was won by Jeanette on points in
fifteen-round bout. The decision
was very unpopular and there Is a
demand for another match. Pictures
of the bout were taken, and these
movies" it is claimed, show that
Carpenter had the better of the mill
ing. The accompanying picture
shows Jeanette and Carpenter in
action in the ring, and Referee Frantz
Reichel who has lost his popularity,
There is such strong demand for
another fight between Jeanette and
Carpenter that 1t is difficult to see
how the men can resist it. Dan Nc
Ketrick, the manager of Jeanette,
who is looked upon as the wisest fox
in the pugllistlc game, is said to be
stirring things up in order to bring
about another match. Daniel got q
lot Of money for Jeanette in the first
clash, and his share will be even
greater If the men meet again. Then
they say the poor Americans get all
the worst of it over in Europe.

Banty Lewis has finally made up his
mind to fight Irish Mahon and the
boys will come together at Browns
Gym on Tuesday, April 2S. For a time
it looked as if the match would not
be made. AT first Lewis asked 25 per
cent, for his end but when he learned
that Mahon was also getting % per
cent. he rebelled at such a division of
the purse. Then Banty demanded 80
per cent, and his terms have been
met Having come to terms, Lewis
writes me as follows:
J. p N:
Jack Mccarthy and l have come to
an agreement and | am to receive 80
per cent
The bout will be put on April 2S.
j. p. N, you stated in last nights
Star that I wanted 80 per cent and
to give Mahon 20 per cent. You are
entirely mistaken, and think you
were informed wrong. l stated that
1 wanted 30 per cent, and was only
| looking out for my own interest, and
il is up to Mahon to get whatever he

the boys will begin to talk about the
outcome. Lewis, perhaps, has more
