the Lewis-Carpentier bout. They met
Carpenters manager, Descamps. ear
ly in the morning to arrange for the
contest and in u few minutes all
details except one comparatively mi

argued with Descamps until three

careful manner in which Carpenters
interests have been cared for by his
shrewd manager both inside and out

Guction to points outside the state.

4-GAME BONElAM SERIES DEMPSEY HAD STRING
ENDS FIRST HALF OF TO OF FIRST ROUND X. O.'sI
SEASON FOR THE PEPS DURING EARLY CAREER

During the journey across the con-
tinent. Dempsey was establishing a
record which would have made the
name One Round" Dempsey not in
appropriate. The record book recites
with monotonous regularity his list
Of knockouts; Homer Smith, one
round; Jim Flynn, one round: Bill
Brennan, six rounds; Bull Sadee, one
round; Tom Riley, one round: Dan
Ketcher, two rounds; Arthur Pelkey,
one round; Kid Mccarthy, one round;
Bob Devere. one round; Porky Flynn,
one round; Fred Fulton, one round;
Jack Moran, one round; Carl Morris,
one round, with others of more or
less note meeting the same fate.
II was in midsummer, 1913. that
Fred Fulton, the Minnesota plaster
er, SIX feet four and a half inches
in height and weighing 220 pounds,
was selected to stop this sensational
drive of Dempsey. The bout was
held In the open in Jersey City, July
81, 1918, and proved to be one of
the shortest bouts on record. Demp-
sey winning in q seconds.
Fulton, who is still fighting is
one of the most curious of American
boxers. Possessed of a frame that
should make him a champion, he
never has been able to emerge from
the second-rate ranks. On this day,
he appeared nervous as Dempsey
glowered at him from the other side
Of the ring while seconds laced up
his gloves.
At the gong. Dempsey tore at him
with the fury of tiger. Easily
getting inside Fulton's guard despite
the long reach that should have pro.
tected the Minnesotan, Dempsey rain
ed rights and lefts to Fulton's jaw
Fulton went down under the furious
pelting and stayed down.
The Minnesotan tried in various
ways to explain his poor showing af-
ter the bout but TO the spectators the
fiasco only gave one more indication
| that Dempsey was the proper chal-
lenger of Jess Willard for the heavy
weight championship.
Georges Carpenter, fighting from
the bantamweight ranks to meeting
| first-class mddleweights. scored his
| first great sensation in 1919, when
he won the European middleweight
championship from Jim Sullivan. an
| Englishman, in two rounds.
. The bout was fought at Monte
Carlo English sportsmen. confident
that their man would easily defeat
the Frenchman. journeyed by hum
dreds to that famous sporting resort
to wager thousands Of pounds on
Sullivan.
Witnesses of the bout declare that
Carpenter with his clever footwork
and speed, was the winner from the
time the first blow was struck Feel
| ing out his man in the first round.
he started with the gong of the sec
ond to administer terrific punishment
which the Englishman could not
withstand and took the count The
result made Carpenter the most
talked-of boxer I'm France.
In the same year, Carpenter scored
2O.round victories over George Gun.
ther and Willie Lewis. the American
middleweight and also knocked out
Hubert Roc. a Frenchman.
The victory over Willie Lewis force
fully impressed the worth of the
French boxer in the minds of ring

WILLARD RECEIVED K.O.
But 100000 BESIDES

(FOllowing is one OF a series of
humb-nail sketches OF heavyweight
championship battles of the past ap-
pearing in The Daily Ardmoreite.)
Jack Dempsey played the accompani-
ment to Jess Wizards swan song on
July 4th, 1919. at Toledo, Ohio 1t
was all over in the third round. Jess
got 100000 for the performance, many
times the amount Caruso earns in a
whole opera. Dempsey got $27, 900
The champion fell down and got up
so many times in the first round that
the referee became dizzy from counting
and failed to hear the bell. This was
on the fifth liason between Willard
and the floor
The gong sounded feebly on the sew
on'h count, but Referee Pecord con-
tinued chOpping the air over Willard
When he had finished he informed
Dempsey that there had been a knock
out and the champion left the ring.
only to have his manager come run
ming after him with the information
that there had been a mistake
That first round was awful But it
prepared everybody for the worst and
no one was surprised when Willard
lost in the third round.
Dempsey opened the fight by ac-
cepting some taps on the face Then
he hauled off and busted Willard in
the stomach so hard that dazed ex.
preston overspread the champions
countenance Dempsey then landed
several blows to the jaw and Willard
dropped to the floor for six counts,
only TO fall again with a blow that
greeted his nose.
As he got up a second time ne turn
ed his head away but the Giant Kill
er struck him twice and he fell on his
hands and knees
Arising once more. Willard was cor
nere1 by Dempsey who pounded him
to the mat with rights and lefts 20 the
face. Again he got up and once more
ne was knocked down.
Somehow the giant groped his way
through the second round. suffering
nothing more humiliating than a fall
partly through the ropes. Dempsey
tore into him again when the third
round opened. Willard was groggy and
weak. with one eye out of shape and
everything gone wrong. His seconds
threw the towel into the ring and
called 1t a day.
