'e"ch champion was dressed in
gray bathrobe, trimmed with black. 1t
was cut on the style OF Japanese
kimono. light eyay cap covered
Gcorges's blond head.
Lcvinsky was couple OF minutes
later in making his appearance. lie
looked considerably heavier than mis-
foeman. A maroon bathrobe was<fung
over Levinsky's shoulders.
In the first round they came together
near the center Of the ring and Car
pentier was the first to lead, shooting
over lightning overland right to the
jaw. The Frenchman was as quick as
flash in getting over his punches.
In the middle Of the round Carper-
tier shook the Battler uD/with q ter
riiic, curling right hook to the side of
the jaw. From that moment Levinsky
looked like a beaten man, and he
seemed to fear repetition of the blow.
In the second round Lcvinsky went
down twice from terrible rights to the
Jaw, once in his own corner and once
on the other side of the ring. These
blows travelled so fast that Levinsky,
clever defensive fighter rs he is, was
unable to guard against them His
legs swayed under him and he slid
slowly to the floor Both times the
American took a count Of eight.
Carpenter Very Cool
Carpenter was very cool as he
walked back to the center of the ring
and waited for his victim to regain his
feet. The bell rang before the French
man could finish the JOB and the Bat
tiers seconds worked so hard over the
shaken fighter between rounds that he
toed the mark for the third round in
good shape.
rlngside that Lcvinsky was through
Tor the evening. Whatever punching
powers he had before he lost on re-
ceiving those deadening blows to the
Jaw and Carpenter seemed to realize
this, for he walked steadily in against
his opponents attempts to hold him
at distance.
Levinsky fought himself out in this
round. as though he knew that his only
chance lay in Slipping over Wild one.
But Carpenter shed blows as a duck
sheds water. He even stuck out his
Jaw on one occasion. in an effort to
draw the Battler into a lead, and he
took the punch square on the point of
the jaw without blinking an eye.
The bell ending the third round
found Levinsky still on his feet but
growing steadily weaker. Only his old
ring cunning saved him from Carpen-
tiers attack. The Frenchman shove d
wlldness at this stage as he saw his
man going and missed many a hard
drive for The jaw as he tried to shoot
over the finishing punch.
End Came in Fourth
But in the fourth round tn end
came. and quickly. Rushing from his
ALTERS corner. CARPENTER drove those
stinging. jarring punches to the hope
less Levinsky's jaw, until the blond
Hebrews head jolted and sagged from
side to side. He looked like a drunken
man trying to find his way home after
very wet night.
Driving his man before him under
furious hail of blows, Carpenter
forced Lcvinsky to the ropes and there
pinned him up against the hempen
strands while he ripped over rights
and lefts to the head
Finally Levinsky began to droop, the
ropes half supporting him, and then
came to rest on the floor, rolling under
the bottom rope and holding out his
left arm to prevent rolling over on the
press stand.
Levinsky was not out in reality, and
after reaching sitting position he
listened to Harry Ertle, the referee, as
the latter shrieked out the count When
Ertle had called "ten," Carpenter
rushed over and helped pull his victim
into the ring and drag him to his
chair.
Immediately after the FIGHT ended
Francois Deschamps, Carpenters man
ager jumped into the ring and rushed
from one side to the other, yelling to
the newspaper men that "for three
days Carpenter he have no lunch. He
sick! No lunch"
These words were accompanied by
gestures by Deschamps indicating that
Carpenter had been sick at his
stomach, or some such thing. But
Levinsky looked much the sicker of the
two.
And what did the result of the fight
teach us concerning Carpenters ability
as a fighter? Only this, in my opinion,
that the Frenchman is wicked
puncher, particularly with his right
hand. 1t was the overland right hook
to the side of the jaw that finished
Levirsly and started him on the road
to ruin.
his feet and always on the alert for
openings, but as dangerous opponent
for Jack Dempsey, no. Carpenter
leaves himself open far too often.
AS Tor the Americans showing in this
I fight. it was disappointing. After tax
ing that first jarring clout Oh the jaw
in the opening round, he Battter bent
most of his energies to keeping out of
harms way
In the third round Levnsky made
his best showing, shooting over a dozen
straight left jabs to Carpenters face
as the Frenchman bored N eager to
trade punches. But Georges made no
effort to dodge these blows. He knew
that they carried no deadly charge and
all he wanted was the opportunity tc
crash over his own crushing right
