sixth round Of their scheduled twenty
round fight on foul by Smith.

on his knees. The men had been mix

was staggered by blow from the
Frenchman in the fourth but came out
in the fifth to rush the fighting. lie
Frenchman fought back, blow for
blow and both men were trying hard
for knock out.
At the opening of the sixth round
both resumed the same tactics. Car
pentier bore in and was met by hard
rights and let's from the Gunner.
Smith timed right and sent it crash
ing against the Frenchman's jaw. Car
pentier dropped, but rose almost at

Noblemen, women and mere sports
jumped to their seats, shouting threats
at the American fighter. The great
crowd surged toward the ring but was
held in check while Carpenter was led
to his corner The Frenchman was
not injured by the blow which dis.
qualified Gunboat Smith. In the earl
Ter rounds Smith had been warned by
Referee CORR against holding and hit
ting low. This fact made the crowd
more bitter against him. Smith struck
deliberately when he hit Carpenter
while the latter was down. AS soon
as the blow was struck Referee CORR
stepped between the men and waived
Smith away and Immediately disquali-
fed the American fighter
Great Crowd Sees Fight.
One of the greatest crowds that
ever witnessed a fight in England was

and sailors from the Battleship Mis-

GUNB0AT SMITH LOSES ON
FOUL TO FRENCH CHAMPION

fight tonight took on the aspect OF
| an international battle arousing great
err interest than did the light weight
fight.
Frenchmen backing Carpenter fore
ed their idol into the position as the
favorite. Only yesterday even money
prevailed, but with rhe great bundles
of French cash which were offered
on Carpenter, the odds shifted until
s to was quoted this afternoon with
smith on the short end.
Frenchman Wonder Of Europe.
The Frenchman is the wonder OF
the European boxing world. Starting
his fighting career at IA he has fought
I'D through the bantam, light weight
and middle weight divisions and now
stands forth as the best man In tns
heavy weight class that Europe has
to offer. Carpenter is 81 years old.
Smith is 26.
1t was estimated that 10000 persons
were about the ring when Referee
CORR called the men from the cor.
ners. Five hundred women were in
the crowd. At ringside Carpenter
was a fayorite.
1t was s:47 when Capentier crawl
ed through the ropes. His French
hackers went wild as Georges smil-
ingly went to his corner.
Smith followed at 1852 and the
Americans whooped it up in great
shape for the Gunner. Both men ap-
peared hard as nails when they strip
ped.
After preliminary instructions by
Referee CORR the men returned to
their corners held final conferences
with their seconds and the bell clang-
ed at exactly 10.
The Fight by Rounds.
Round Both men were cautious
during the first round. Smith led with
rights to the face and body but
made no attempt to force matters.
Carpenter countered with rights to
the body. His blows did not carry
the steam shown by the Gunner. Even
round.
| Round carpenter rushed mat
| tiers as they came up for the second
fround. Smith backed away and tken
went into a clinch. Carpenter broke
away and Immediately rushed the
Gunner again, swinging lefts and
rights. Smith was holding. Carpen-
tiers round.
Round Smith was cautioned by
referee against holding and hitting
low. Carpenter continued to tear in
at the Gunner. Smith met him, clinch-
ed and held. In the break away he
swung at the Frenchman and CORR
thought the blow landed too low to be
safe if repeated. 1t was Carpenters
round
| Round 4-Carpentier bounced out
of his corner and rained lefts and
rights upon Smith. The Gunner again
covered up and clfnched. Carpenter
cracked rights at Gunboat's jaw. AT
the bell he drove in a terrific upper
cut. Smith was dazed but the bell
saved him. Carpenters round.
Round 5-Smith came back strong.
He carried the fight to Carpenter.
They went into clinch. Breaking,
Smith put in hard right to the face
He was obviously trying for knock
out. Carpenter mixed with him and
they clinched in the middle Of the
ring. 1t was Smiths round.
Round 6-Both men rushed up for
the sixth round Smith drove rights

POPULAR MECHANICS MAGAZINE
FOR FEBRUARY.

An unusually broad view of cur
rent events, one that takes in not only
the advance in various lines, but
accidents and disasters as we'll, is
given in the February number of
Popular Mechanics Magazine Big
developments have taken place in
aviation, but here, as might be expect
ed IN view Of the fact that more air
men have made flights than ever be-
fore in a simular period, the fatali-
ties have been greater than in any
previous year. AS against 40 avia-
ton fatalities in 1912, there were 1872
in 1913 A three-page tabulation Of
thees fatalities for 1918, giving the
names of the aviator in es3h case,
the place and date Of the accident
and the type Of the machine, appears

cidental.
Mr.. Lankford was 46 years old,
Perhaps an Accident.

The body of Mr.. Lankford was
found in the bath room. A physician
said life had been extinct for several
hours, A pillow under the head. an
other pillow on the sill Of the bath
room window and a towel hanging
over the door knob are said to have
suggested suicide Gas was stream
ing from a jet and in the same
bracket an electric lamp was burn
ing. This has caused Mr.. Lankford' S
friends to believe the gas Jet had been
opened accidentally by him while
switching on the electric light. They
also held that Mr.. Lankford placed
the pillow on the window sill for the
purpose of keeping out the cold, and
xhat the towel was hung on the door
knob as a matter of course. No
note or anything was found to in
dicate inmistakably a suicidal pur-
pose on Mr.. Landlords part.
Called on Fiancee.
Mr. Lankford called on Miss Pat
tGrson last night. Today the young
woman said he had been in the best
OF spirits. After she had retired Mr..
Lankford remained in the house until
about II o'clock talking to her broth
er and his wife Miss Patterson said
her fiance had complained of stomach
trouble and violent Headaches but
never had given her to understand the
matter was serious. There had been
no disagreement between Mr. Lank-
ford and herself.
Mr. Lankford was born at Princess
Anne, Nd From December, 1892, to
May /, 1895, he was cashier and
treasurer of the Broadway Railway
company of Brooklyn and in June Of
the latter year became assistant sec

tary in 1910. He was kniwn as q
man Of exemplary habits, much given
TO keeping his own council and none
