There was crowd at the boat

Big Crowd Is
On Hand Early

The early corners sat down to wait.
They found but three things to do
debate the weather prospects which
in the morning newspapers appeared
dubious, admire the worlds greatest
arena in which more than 10000
could nestle just as cozily as the
proverbial sardines, and chatter IT
did. This democracy of the ringside,
the chief topic was the weather. A
sultry day followed a humid night.
The sun tried to pierce the clouds
that gave a constant threat of rain
and gave up the attempt. 1t was an
ideal day for the spectators, for no
one loomed before the scorching sun
and no one wanted it to rain.
But the crowd had many things
to talk about-fear of sunburn and
interest in the slight unpleasantness
which later was to occur in front of
them. This led to conversation
among men and women as far
separated as Fifth avenue and the
Lower East Side, New York Chicago,
America and Europe, as far as to
another as prince and pauper, with
interests as varied as those of lawyer
and ditchdigger.
For they were all here-society
women and shop girls, the merchant
prince and the twelve-d -dollar-a-week
clerk, the man who lived by his
brains, aud his fellow without pro-
fession.
And fighting their way out to
Boyle's thirty acres were coming
thousands more. all part of the
great army which hoped to witness
the show of fisticuffs whose result
would be flashed around the world.
In the arena which from it's top

workmen were putting on the last
touches. The ring was the scene of
the greatest activity.

Dempsey gave Carpenter an un-
mercifu beating. He opened up a
cut under the Frenchman's eye and
battered him viciously around the
head with vicious rights and lefts
until Carpenters face was swollen
and bleeding.
Carpenter fought gamely back
at the champion. but he was out
classed. Once he was half knocked
and half pushed through the ropes
and most of the time was going
away from the champion.
Dempsey kept after him, driving
him to the corner whenever he had
an opportunity. Carpenter was out
only for a few seconds. Manager
Descamps applied first aid as quick
~ as the dazed Frenchman dropped
into his chair.
