Monsieur Francois Deschamps, the
)lascib'e manager Of Georges CaIpen-
tier, nlislaid his hypnotic eye down at
Manhasset yesterday, and SO big Paul
Journee, main sparring partner of the
European challenger, was given about
the worst past'ng ring bruiser ever
received at Ebbets Field last night,
Journee was knocked out by Charley
Weinert, of Newark, in the fifth round
of the wind-up, after showing little or
nothing Of the rudiments Of the manly
art except innate gameness.
Seven times Weinert stretched the
big Frenchnan on the canvas fol II full
count Of nine The last time he Topped
Referee Haukop stopped the engage
ment. Weinert really beat Journee
with left hand The Frenchman
landed few blows.
Weinert's left cut the Frenchman's
face and nose to ribbons and Paul was
bleeding like stuck pig almost from
the beginning. In the fourth round
Weinert dropped Journee with right
to the chin and thereafter hammered
him down about as fast as he could
get up.
Rather Victor Over Cans
Augie Rather, who is on the trail OF
~hiuN'SNeiSHC VI CHAiHpion JoHbHy WI
son, scored q technical knockout over
Italian Joe Cans, Of Carpenters train
ing staff, in the tenth round of the
sem-hnal. Cans weighed 1856 and Rat
ner 1851 pounds.
Cans, who was seconded by Gus Will
son, Carpenters trainer, was on the
receiving emo all the way. Rather was
at his best and showed some fancy
blocking. He jabbed the head of Cans
with his left and shot in hard right
hooks and right uppercuts to the kid
ney and body that wore down tie
Italian.
The beginning of the end came in
the seventh. Three hard rights TO the
jaw had Cans rocking at the bell. In
the eighth Rather dropped Joe with a
right uppercut to the body. In the
ninth Rather pasted Cans all over the
ring, and when 8 right cut Gans's left
eye the Italian imp Referee
"Chuck" O1dus to stop the fight, claim
ing he had injured his leg.
Cans got up under protest fol the
tenth. Rather hammered his man to
the floor for a count of nine with a
volley of iefts and rights to body and
jaw. When Cans finally got up the
referee waved him to his corner.
Bouts Draw Big Crowd
The show was tremendous success
/ compared to the first open-air show, al
| the ball park, probably because popular
prices prevailed. The upper tier, which
sold 81 seat, WAS more than three
quarters filled. The crowd was esti,
mated at between 10000 and $4,000.
Every one seemed impatient to see
big Journee, Carpenters sparring part
ner, and when Jack Curley escorted
M. Deschamps and Eddie Smith to q
ringside box the manager of Georges
WAS given fine reception. All the old
regulars of Madison Square Garden
could be recognized in the best seats
around the ringside.
Two so-called feathers, Johnny Lisse
aud Johnny Griffiths, each weighing
1877 pounds, inaugurated the perform
ance at $3.50 o'clock. The referee
stopped the bout after 9 minutes and
80 seconds of the second round to save
Griffiths unnecessary punishment.
Heine Hoffman, brother of
frankie Callahan, and Willie Hess met
in the second preliminary CT six
rounds, which went the limit. Holtz-
man wore his brothers trunks, but
there the resemblance ceased He got
the decision with a left hand, that
jabbed Hess's nose all over his face,
and had him covered with blood at the
end of the second round.
