knocked out Georges Carpenter, the
idol of France, in the fourth round.
Two vicious rights to the jaw
ended the Frenchman and brought
the fight to dramatic climax when
It looked as If it might go many
more rounds. After one minute of
the fourth round Dempsey crashed
his right to Carpenters jaw and the
Erenchman went down in a heap
near his own corner. He took the
count of nine, with the slant-eyed
Descamps looking at him from his
corner in absolute terror. Dempsey
stood three PAGES away from the
PROSTATE Trenchman, poised with
his right hand ready to finish the
task. Carpenter arose with an effort.
He had hardly Strengthened himself,
when Dempsey, with his jaws grit

ling, a look Of savage ferocity.
crashed his right again to the jaw
after one minute and sixteen seconds.
The Frenchman fell to the floor with
q thud that rocked the ring. He was
obviously out. The court was un-
necessary.
Dempsey Stands Oyer Foe.
Dempsey stood over him again, ap-
parently unwilling to be fooled by q
gong like he was in Toledo two years
ago. He seemed to snap out of deep
thought when Jack Kearns, his hair
standing on end. his arms shaking
like leaves. rushed to him and threw
his arms around him.
Keans tried to get the champion
back to his corner. but he pushed
him aside. leaned over and picked up

until the frantic Descamps climbed
through the ropes and dragged the
Trenchman to his corner. Carpen-
tier was out for fully three minutes.
Even when he left the ring, nearly
ten minutes after. he could not hold
himself erect. He smiled when
Dempsey approached him and shook
hands with his left glove on the
Frenchman's shoulder.

In the middle Of the second round,
he got . staggering right nush to
Dempsey's jaw. It rocked the cham
pion up against the ropes and the
crowd yelled like maniacs when Car
pentier followed his advantage with
rights and lefts to Dempsey's jaw.
The Frenchman,. perhaps, lost the
light at this point. It was plain to
see that he lost heart when he found
himself lacking the punch to put the
champion out when he was groggy.
Carpenter Continues Running Fight.
In the third round Carpenter con-
tinued his running fight. He tried
several fancy steps and got away
when Dempsey backed him to the
ropes. The third time Dempsey
showed his speed and cracked Car

tried to get away. Carpenter was

Carpenter landed two rights flush
to Dempseys jaw and the champion
laughed. Dempsey retaliated with
another cruel body punch.
The Frenchman looked at the
French section of the press box and
smiled feebly. He was bleeding from
the eyes, his mouth was open and
the blood was running from his cut
lips. His left eye was closing rapidly.
It was strikingly apparent then that
he could not last much longer.
Starting the fourth round Jack
Kearns yelled from Dempsey's cor
ner, "Go after him now. boy; you've
got him."
Dempsey, wide open, sneering at
the Frenchman, did 60 into him and
knocked him out.
