Bob Wrenn asked him from the side lines if he did not want to stop. Murray refused but his strength was not equal to the task and Will Hams forced the game With Murray leading at 5-4 on games and 4O-80 on points, he was within stroke of vic- tory.

LONDON PAPERS SAY FOUL BY
 SMITH WAS AN ACCIDENT
Carpentier Outboxed American But His Blows Did No Great
 Damage

eree's decision awarding the light to Carpentier on 9 foul admitted of no dfscussfon.
 4 mum Der of people were found af-i teryvard who argued that Smith would have out1ssted the Frenchman and probably would have knocked him out. but on the fight as it was Carpenter sYninently Was victorious The rest was idle Speculation. A number of people also argued that the foui blow did not hurt Carpenter as much as his ensuing behavior seemed to indi-. cate. He was a. limp. pitsfuI figure as his seconds helped him to his corner. and he fottered later as they assisted him out o9 the ring.
 A majority of the papers agree that smiths foul was wholly urintentfcnal, several Of them say that Referee Cor1 for some dime was Of mind to corr tin1e the fight.
 The Daily Telegraph expert says:

TER
 ING TO
 FIGHT AGAIN


 London, July 17 Gunboat. Smith ana his manager. .JIrr,s Buckley. said today they intendec to make an effort to arrange return fight with Georges Carpentier. the French hea.vywedght who yesterday was awarded the de- cision at Olympia when Smith was dis qualified In the 9th round for hitting the Frenchman while he was on the ground.
 The American boxer declared he was willing to meet the Frenchrnan any where and at any time and would pre- fer that the winner should take the entire purse or gate money. Carpen- tier would make no reply to smiths offer to fight again. saying the matter was one for the consideration of his manager who had not had time yet to take the matter up.
 Smith today asserted that he never would fight again before a cinemato- graph. He said his eyes were weak and he had to wear glasses in the sunlight. Last night the glare of the lights puzzled him and he. thought this possfh1y had something to do with his strikIng Gsrueutfer while the FrenchnAn was down. Smith insist ed that even if his glove touched Car pentieT it was uninIentionaI and the blow did not hurt his opponent. Any other boxer, he said. would have con- tinued to light. As to the blow which knocked him down in the fourth round Smith said that while 1t was a. hard one. it did not put him out and he had simply remained aown to gain the beneht of the rest.
 While realizing that it is hopeless, Buckley is making a formal protest against the referees dacisi0n on the ground that 1t had been arranged for the seconds to remain out of the ring until after the referee had given his decision Deschamps. the Frenchnanss manager, Buckley pointed out, disre- garded this arrangement and Jumped into the ring Immediately he saw there was q chance of winning the bout on a. technfcality.
 The boxing experts of the evening newspapers today are as divided. in opinion in respect u the force of the foul blow given by Smith as were those of the morning papers.
 eff sGunboat' Smith wants asreturn match right away he is not going to encounter the slightest difficulty said Carpenters manager later in the day. -9 Tt Is Carpenters wish as 1t is mine. should retain the championship not bysa mere fluke or disqualification but by right of superiority in boxing" he continued.
 Both sides thus h4ve put them selves on record as desiring an early return match and the only bar to such a meeting appears to we the arrange ment Of a suitable purse.
 z peschamps, commenting on what he termed the dissapp ointing end of yesterdays fight, said both he and Carpenter were dissatisfied with the result. He added:
 'sCarpentier personally wanted the fight to proceed but thought the blow he received from Smith while he was down would have proved detrimental had the fight gone on. It knocked all the brfIIiancy out of the French boy.
 ssCarpentier is quite ready and in- deed anxious to meet Smith again. He regrets he was not allowed to win the championship on a clean, straightfor- ward knockout for he had Smith beat en almost from the outset"
