CARPENTER BEATEN
 BUT WINS ON FOUL
(Continued From Twelfth Page.)

Continued From Twelfth Page. ) men under the ringside within five feet say Corri said:
 "All right, Smith, wait a minute ' But Descamps, Carpenters manager. jumped into the ring followed by the seconds and overwhelmed Corri with gesticulations and arguments.
 In half minute the ring was filled with seconds, timekeepers, umpires, fight officials, including Dick Burge, the promoter, police and spectators. Only Smiths seconds remained out of the ring. Carpentier, meanwhile, remained on his knees apparently un- conscious of what was going on around him. It was not until his sec- onds told him that he had been fouled by blow on the back of the head that he clasped both hands to his head, and his seconds carried him to his corner and began to massage arms and legs.
 The wildly excited argument was still going on among a score of per- sons in the ring while pandemonium reigned, spectators climbing up to the ropes and being pushed back on the heads of the crowd. Mingled cheers and boos from 15,O00 spectators filled the air. Corri was overawed, over- powered and almost as dazed as Car pentier, and two minutes after the foul the announcer pushed his way out of the crowd in the ring, pointed at Carpenter and bawled out Smith disqualified for foul.
 Even this did not end the argu-
 
 tinued trying to get him in condition to continue the fight. After another couple of minutes of futile shouting

POWERS MAKES DENIAL.

It was reported yesterday that Bill Powers and another of the New Lon- don hurlers had decided to jump to the Federals. Danny Murphy, who is With the Brookfeds. was in New Lon don Wednesday, and it is supposed that he may have said something to the Planter hurlers that aroused their desire for lucre. Powers was seen last night. and he denied that he had any intention of jumping as he thought prospects were pretty good in New London. It is possible that the only purpose of Murphy's stay in New London was the stopover on the way from Norwich, his home town. where he has restaurant which he intends to dispose of soon.

Foul Unintentional.

London, July 17.-A majority of the papers agree that Smiths foul was wholly unintentional. Several of them say that Referee Corri for some time was of a mind to continue the fight.
 The Daily TeIegraph's" expert says: "Descamps by breaking into the ring violated the rules, and the verdict must have gone to Smith if Corri had not decided that the Amer ican had already forfeited the fight"
 The Daily Mail'' says that the entirely unintentional blow has left not the slightest stain on Smiths honor as a boxer.
 The Daily Chronicle says: Never was a foul blow less intentional, or more surprising to the man who dealt it."
 Observations to the same effect are made in virtually all the morning papers, and although it is generally agreed that the fight appeared to be Carpenters, much sympathy is ex- pressed for Smith and regret at the unfortunate ending.
 The Morning Post considers that the combat lasted scarcely long enough to measure the mems merits adequately.
 Lord Lonsdale, seen after the fight expressed the opinion that the blow which resulted in Smiths disqualifi- cation was due to the fact that Car pentier fights low.
