! Dempsey crashed his right to Carpen-
| tiers Jaw and the Frenchman went down
! In 4 heap near his own corner. He took
the count of nine, with Manager Des-

Dempsey stood three PAGES away from
the PROSTATE Frenchman poised with
his right hand ready to finish the task.
| SECOND BLOW
/ ENDS THE BOUT.
| Carpenter arose with an effort He
| had hardly Strengthened himself when
! Dempsey, with his jaws gritted together,
/ his beard fairly bristlng, q look of saw
age ferocIty, crashed his right again to
/ the Jaw after one minue and sixteen sec
I onds. The Frenchman fell to the floor
/ with a thud that rocked the ring. He
! was obviously out. The count was IN
! necessary.
! Dempsey stood over him again, appar-
emily unwilling to be fooled by a gong
! like be 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.
! Kearns tried to get the champion back
/ to his corner. but he pushed him aside;
leaned over and picked up Carpenter,
/ holding him IN his arms until the fran

and dragged the Frenchman to his corn
er. Carpenter was out for fully three
/ minutes Even when he left the ring
nearly ten minutes later, he could not

| Demspey approached him and shook
hands, with his left glove on the French
mans shoulder.
/ HANDS PRAISE
| TO FRENCHMAN.
Carpenter is a fine boy and gave me
/ e fought fight. I am going home as soon
I as I can Dempsey said to the press box
Dempsey won the fight with his ter
rifle body punches. He found ont in the
/ first round that he could take the
Wanted right hand punch Of the French
man. and he waded in, fighting a typical
Dempsey fight, pounding the French
man absolutely disregarding his defense.
Dempsey punches were quite obviously
tearing down the Frenchman.
In his corner after the first round
Dempsey recovered and came back in the
second to fight a running round. IN
the middle OF the second round Carpen-
tier got staggering right flush TO
Dempsey's jaw. It rocked the champion
up against the ropes and the crowd
yelled like maniacs when Carpenter fol-
lowed his advantage with right and LETT
TO Dempsey's jaw. The Frenchman per-
. hapS lost the fight at this point. 1t was
plain to see that he lost heart when he
found himself lacking the punch to put

In the third round, Carpenter con-
tinued his running fight. He tried sew
eral fancy dancing steps and got away
when Dempsey backed him to the ropes.
The third time Dempsey showed his
speed and cracked Carpenter with a
terrible right as he tried to get away.
Carpenter was missing with his right.
! Dempsey, with ever so slight a motion
of his head, would turn to the right and
left and the blows of the Frenchman slid
off the champions head. Carpenter
landed two right flush to Dempsey's Jaw
( and the champion laughed. Dempsey re.

The Frenchman looked at the French

his mouth was open and the blood was
running from his cut lips. His left eve
was closing rapidly. 1t was strikingly
apparent then that he could not last much
