i The fourth and final round was
soon completed and the picture pre-
sented by Carpenter helpless on the

corner was in marked contrast to the
supreme air of confidence with which
the Frenchmen entered the ring.
Carpenter was first to enter the
huge pugilistic ampitheater at 2:57
p. m. He wore gray silk bath robe
over his white silk trunks and smiled
and watched an airplane flying over

p. m. sharp the. champion followed,
wearing a dark maroon coat sweater
and white trunks. Manager Descamps
was fussy about the bandaging on
Dempsey's hands which were twice as
heavy as that which Carpenter him
self wound about his own fists. There
was little delay in the usual prelimi-
naries to championship contest and
at 3:1S the gong called the men to the
center of the ring for the champion
ship battle.

Hasn't Got Punch.
Courageous. speedy of foot and with
a lightning like rapier blow he proved
to be clever boxer with moderate
punch. Against the man-killing smash
