SMITH WANTS TO FIGHT AGAIN.
American Who Lost on Foul Says Pic
ture Machine Blinded Him.

London, July 17.-GunbOat Smith and
his manager, James Buckley said today
they intended to make further effort
to arrange a return fight with Georges
Carpenter, the French heavyweight
who Yesterday was awarded the de-
cision at Olympia when Smith was dis
qualified in the sixth round for hitting
the F'renchman while he was on the
ground. The American boxer declared
he was willing to meet the Frenchman
anywhere and any time and would pre-
fer that the winner should take the en-
tire purse and gate receipts.
Smith today added that he never
would fight again before 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 pos
sibly has something to do with his
striking Carpenter while the French
man was down.
The stakes for last nights match
were paid over today, Carpenter re-
ceiving check for $4,000. while Buck
ley received $4,000 on behalf of Smith,
who was not present Buckley took the
check without demur. He made no
formal protest against the decision but
wanted to discuss the fairness of
Eugene Corri's ruling. He displayed
deep annoyance and refused to shake
hands with Corri.
The chairman Of the gathering de-
clined to permit any discussion and an
nounced on behalf Of Dick Burge. the
promoter of yesterdays match that the
latter was ready to put up another
purse of the same amount for a return
fight.
For the first time Deschamps then
revealed that he had promised to
match Carpenter against Wells If the
Frenchman proved successful in yester-
days match. AS soon as the Carpenter
Wells match was over, he added Car
pentier was ready to meet Smith again
either In Europe or America, which ever
provided the largest purse.
