London, July 17-Georges Carpenter,
only pugilist of premier rank France
has ever contributed to the game, was
awarded the decision last night over
Gunboat Smith. the American fighter,
on d foul in the sixth round of the fast
est heavyweight fight Londoners have
seen in many years
The match between the two heavy
weights was fought at Olympia and
was scheduled to go 20 rounds. TO
Smith and his supporters the finish was
a tragedy. because the blow for which
the American was disqualified was
neither studied nor intentional 1t was
launched in the heat Of the whirlwind
fighting when the Frenchman had
slipped to his knees and the spectators
saw the gaunt sailor recoil and attempt
to draw back almost as his arm flew
out.
Nevertheless, the ending of last
nights fight adds another to the I'M
fortunate chapters of international
sport, because it has kindled bad feel
ing and is likely to be followed by long
drawn out arguments.
There has been an undercurrent of
prejudice against American boxers
among English ding followers, and
however unintentional Gunboat Smith $
breach of the rules was it probably
will be cited in support of this preju-
dice. The popular judgment awarded
Carpenter the better of the fight on Its
merits
Showed Wonderful Footwork.
Pitted against such a powerful an
tagonist as Smith it was evident that
the Frenchman's marvellous quickness
had not been exaggerated. He showed
a left lead like a flash of lightning and
a powerful and equally swift right. His
footwork was wonderful and although
Smith was remarkably quick for big
man, he was noticeably slower than his
younger opponent.
When the French contingent carried
Carpenter to his corner in the sixth
round the utmost confusion reigned
The ring was crowded with excited Off
clals and seconds, and thousands OF
spectators We're on their feet shouting
and groaning In this round arpentier

The punch did not land squarely, but

his blow. Carpenter swung around and
slipped to his knees.
Quickly Smiths right shot forth. He
drew back and plainly would have

Then he stepped back and waited fol

Just what happened to Gunboats
