man in the Fifth Round
at Ebbets Field.
ny CHARLES r. MATHrsox.

II there is anything in omens then
Carpenter has reason to feel o bit
downcast to-day. His favorite sparring
partner. the giant Paul Journee. was
battered TO knockout by Charlie Wei
merit in the fifth round OF a one-sided
battle in Ebbets Field last night.
Not only was Journee outclassed by
Weinert, but he was floored five times
and was bleeding and helpless when tie
referee stopped the bout after one
minute and six seconds OF the fifth
round.
About all that can be said in FAVOR
Of Journee is that he Is game. He took
hard beating without murn,ur and
would have continued after his fourth
tumble to tho canvas in the fifth round,
but the referee decided it had gone far
enough. Journee landed a few right
handlers on Weinert, but did little DAM
age.
Italian Joe Cans, also sparring part
ner of Carpenter. was stopped in the
tenth round by Augie Rather. Alto
gether It was bad night for the French
invaders.
Journee Game but Outclassed.
weinert sent crashing right to Jour-
nee's jaw in the first that caused the
Frenchman's knees to sag. But Jour.
nee recovered and shot right to wein-
ert's jaw that staggered him. There
was much clinchinE, but Welnert had
the better OF the round.
Weinert battered the F'renchman all
about the ring In the second, bringing
blod from the mouth with heavy left
hooks. Journee showed great strength
and fought back gamely. He had o
dangerous right that shook weinert
when It landed. Journee was weak at
the bell
Journee took a terrific beating in the
third, and while weak from heavy shots
to body and face. was on his feet, though
shaky, at the bell.
Weinert, who was in poor condition,
showed arm WEAKNESS In the fourth and
was unable to finish Journee, although
the Frenchman was down three times for
the count of nine. The Frenchman was
saved by the bell. Journee was the
recipient of an unmerciful drubbing,
but showed rema rlkable gameness.
The fifth round saw the finish of the
Frenchnan. He was groggy when he
cainc out OF his corner, and Weinert,
although weary, pummelled the French
man all about the Enclosure, knocking
him down four times. After Journee
arose after the fourth count he was
taken In hand by Referee Johnny
Haukop and led to his corner. The
time Of the round was ] minute 6
seconds.
The Frenchman was strong enough to
walk across the ring and shake hands
with his conqueror.
Big Crowd In Park.
Ono OF the largest crowds which ever
saw boxing match and larger than
that at many of the baseball games was
attracted to the scene.
There were fully $1,000 persons in the
park. and the scene was a brilliant one
the big grounds being flooded with the
glare of electricity.
Italian Joe Cans, also a member of
Carpenters sparring staff. also ap-
peared on the programme. His oppo-
nent was the skilful, hard hitting Augie
Rather. and Cans received O. harder
punching than he has suffered in train
Hib WOFh. 1aHS was llttlc more tlar
a punching bag for Rather, but he
showed remarkable ability for keeping
on his feet despite the volley Of blows
which reached his face and body. Occa-
sionally Cans took his gloves away from
his head and shot q few hard ones at his
elusive opponent.
Rather, master boxer, dominated
Cans from the first gong to the last
In tie ninth round Rather landed a
series OF heavy rights to the body and
Cans doubled with pain. He showed a
disposition 70 quit, and. although he fin.
ished the round, he demurred at coming
out for the tenth round. but Gus Wilson
freshened him and sent him out Rather
punched on his and hammered him al
about the ring. finally flooring him.
He took a nine count, but was so weak
when he got to his feet that Referee
Chuck Oidis stopped the bout. Time OF
round. fifty-five seconds.
Johnny Lisse stopped Johnny Griffin
in tho opening bout In the second round
Griffin was out standing on his feet
He was outclassed.
