CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT BY ROUNDS

bed him on the neck with the rabbit punch Carpentier led with a left, and they clinched. Dempsey was outroughing his/frailer foe in the clinches. Carpenter oircled around, waiting for a chance to whip over a right. but Dempsey's body punches had weakened him. The champion drove Georges into corner, hooking him with rights and lefts to the head as. the bell rang. The bell saved Carpentier. Dempsey's round.
 Round Four
 Dempsey rushed Carpenter to the ropes, and a left to the body made him vince. Carpentier landed a right to the head, and tried to hang on. Carpenter floored, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, z, 8. up.
 Previous to the knockout, Carpen- tier was floored with a left to the body and right to the chin.
 At the count of nine, Georges rose to his knees and stood erect in a game. but weakened fashion. The champion was up against him again in flash, and another crushing left flashing right to the chin with all Denpsey's weight behind it, hurled Carpenter to the floor again with tiuu lAioh COuio pt~ nGdTA IHdHY lcGl from the ring.
 Again Carpenter lay on his side while the count went on, and at the sound of eight he made a desperate attempt to regain his feet. He raised his body part way from the floor with his right hand. but the effort was futile. Two seconds later the European champion was counted out on his face. The time of the final round was 1 minute and 16 seconds

Round One

ItOunO OhC
 Carpenter walked into Dempsey and landed the first blow, light left to the head. They fell into clinch and Dempsey battered the French man in the body with short rights and lefts Dempsey was short with left to the head, but repeated with a left that staggered Carpenter and made him miss with a right swing. Dempsey landed a left that skinned Carpenters nose and drew blood. The Frenchman backed away and missed with a right. Dempsey coun- tered with left that made Car pentiers knees sag. There was a furious exchange at close quarters, and it ended with Carpenter falling through the ropes. Carpenter crawled back, gamely flew at Demp- sey and they exchanged body punches in a clineh. Just before the bell Car pentier nailed Dempsey with left and punished him in the body as the bell rang. Dempsey's round.
 Round Two
 Carpenter missed with a left and then landed a hard right to the chin that sent Dempsey reeling to the ropes. The blow apparently discon- certed the champion and sent him back on his heels. but he came back with 8 terrific right to the jaw that caused a look of worry from the Frenchman's handlers. They went into clinch and when they were separated Carpenter missed left to the chin. Carpenter landed half dozen rights and lefts to the cham pion's head. Dempsey hooked right to Carpenters cheek and split the flesh under the right eye. Blood began to trickle from the gash. Car pentier missed right swing and Dempsey's right also was short. They were locked in a clinch exchanging punches to the body as the bell rang. Carpenters round

 Dempsey began crowding Carpcn- tier, and the Frenchman backed away. Carpenter tucked left hook and Dempsey backed him into the ropes, shaking him with solid right to the chin. Carpenter landed two right uppercuts to the body in the elinch The Frenchman missed heavy right swing, and nearly fell down. Then he reached Dempsey with long right to the jaw, and as he came into clinch Dempsey club

that Dempsey did not train as hard for this fight as the papers have been giving him credit for. A man who has spent the past two weeks visiting the camps of the two men. told me that Jack had done hardly any road work Yet there has been ,reams of copy written about his strenuous jaunts on the road. This same man swore that he had been present In Atlantic City two nights and had seen Dempsey on the board walk as late as o'clock In the morning. This does not look very good for man who is supposed to be getting himself in shape for the supreme test of his life.
 do not think that Dempsey was overconfident. but do believe that he loafed considerably during the training period. Maybe it was just way to match Carpenters loahng, though, for the frenchman lolled great deal himself during his stay at the Manhasset farm.
 It's all over now and nothing is left but moratorium, but still cant forget a tear that came to my eyes as the defenseless Carpenter was battered into the canvas In that fourth round. It was ptiful sight, to see one so frall as the Frenchman. but one so thoroughly confident, have this confidence stripped, as he was battered and, beaten into a pulp and then dropped to the floor to lie motionless and unconscious as the referee tolled off the count of 10 Minutes after the knockout it seemed, Carpenter struggled to his feet, anl Dempsey walked over and the two shook hands.
 The site of the arena was known as Boyles' 30 acres, but as Old Dollar Bill might aptly remark. Boyles 30 acres are nothing to the several hundred aches and achers Carpentire accumulated while seek ing 10 stand up before the driving power of the finest pair of fists that has ever successfully defended the heavyweight boxing title of the world.
 Bereft of the glory he sought to attain, Carpenter will probably re- turn to France and drop into ob- livion. Certain it is that he will not get any more movie contract offers. That broken nose will cut down his efficiency as a good-looker.

ARNOLD DENNE1T ON WORDS

ARNOLD BENNETT ON WORDS Malcolm Cowley, in The Litery Re-
 view.
 Arnola Benett hates half nea ninss' and especially he hates ineXact wofds. He quotes from a Londan daily and holds up to ridicule "The King and Queen were present at flrst night in a London theatre last evening for the initial time In their reign" Ills com ments are instructive:
 ." It is quite a first-rate ox- ample of bad English The culprit whose name is well known to myself and other members of the London literary police force, evidently thought that it would be ine.egant to use the same word twice in two lines: SO he substituted initial for first in the second line. Perhaps he mad never reflected that words express ideas, and that therefore if precise idea recurs, the precise word for that i6ea ought to recur. The idea cx- pr essed by the word first is precise enough, and no other English word neans what first means. Certainly initial does not mean first still the man meant well. His misfortune was that, having picked up a goo6 notion without examining it, he imagined that repetition was inelegant in itself. Repetition is only wrong when 1t IS urintentional and when, being horrid to the ear. 1t Is reasonably and hon. estly avoidable. On the other hand. repetition. used witn tact and cour- age. may achieve not merely elegance but positive brilIiance."
 Here Is Bennets style both Tn theory and practice and the practice agrees with the theory. The pas- sage IS not merely clear but It Is brilliantly repetitive The trouble 's that Bennett often goes out Of his way to repeat himself.
