Carpenter, Beaten Pulp by Scorned Sikh Fallen as Idol

Fairly Beaten.
Even Carpenters staunchest ad-
mirers refused to believe anything
but that the former heavyweight
champion of Europe had been fairly
beaten by a cleaner fighting oppon-
ent.
After starting out as IL he would
be an easy winner. Carpenter was
beaten almost into a pulp b. the
heavy-hitting. wild swinging Sene-
salese in the early rounds. Georges
dropped his opponent three times to
his knees and he did not conceal his
surprise that his huge antagonist
failed TO stay down for the count
Ski came into the ring at ia
pounds and his victory gave him the
worlds light-heavyweigh champion

championship. Carpenter --ighed
1872 pounds.

Illustrations of his doctors. his

He wept and pleaded that arrange

No outsiders were permitted near
Carpenter but DR.. Martel, his physi-
clan. said that both his eyes were
completely closed. his lips were
swollen immensely, his nose was
broken. a long cash was cut in his
cheek, his right hand was fractured
in two places and his left hand in
one place.
The effort to talk was obviously
painful but he persisted in furnishing
