that Dempsey did not win in a roun !,
He could have. but inrtesd of going
right out after Carpeptisr from the
start he held back as if expecting the
Frenchman to spring something on
him.

lforts futile, Jack quickly ended the
whole thing. He let Carpenter lead
for three rounds, contenting himself
with slammins heavy Jabs and hooks
to tho body. These short but terrinc

Frenohman's punches and slowed him

punches against his ribs Now and
