DESCAMPS BLAMES
CARPENTER; SEEKS
RETURN MATCH SKI

Paris, Sept. 25.-(By A. P.)-
Georges Carpenter, knocked out by
Battling Sikh yesterday and deprived
of his title as heavyweight champion
of Europe. was confined to his bed to-
day. battered and discouraged and
watched over by his trainers. His
manager. Francois Descamps. is al
ready out, however. for return match
with the victorious African.
1T is all his fault; it is good les
son for Georges" Descamps said this
afternoon. IF Carpenter had not
tried to play with Sikh he would not
have been hit in the third round by
the lucky punch that dazed him
Carpenter is blamed severely by all
the sporting writer's for taking the
fight as a Joke.
None of the writer's suggests, how
ever, that Carpenter could whip Sikh
in a return match, for. they recognize
the fact that the Senegalese battler can
apparently take unlimited punishment.
Carpenter passed a good night after
the hard hammerng he got in the bout
The ex-champion's thumb is out of
commission and his right hand is
broken from the hard but ineffective
blows he planted on Sikh, who came
out of the fight fresh as a rose" as
his manager expressed it.
Descamps is alone in insisting that
Sikh tripped his man. He said he
might file protest with the boxing
federation and would in any event file
formal challenge for a return match.
IF Georges" said his manager, aft
er receiving the swing had been will
ing to wait with his knee on the floor
for the count Of nine, he might have
resumed the fight without difficulty,
but he did not wish to give the public
a bad expression Of himself. 'Carpen-
tier down. he thought. Never that
AS for the tripping, the movies will
prove that without the slightest
doubt"
The fight film was shown to the
press this afternoon. In it the left
leg of Sikh was distinctly seen to rise
behind the left knee of Carpenter,
who began then to fall, but observers
found n impossible to decide whether
it was real trip-up or merely the
leg of the cclorcd fighter passing be-
tween the white mans legs.
The film. however, makes It evident
that Sikh had no need to trip Carpcn-
tier, who at the moment seemed to be
seeking to grasp his opponent in or
der to support himself.

health officer. has issued orders which
guarantee her the freedom which shb

Her flight was due to an irrepres-

unbearable. She cludcd the watchful
eye of the attendant and managed to
cscapevdctcction in the city until she
applied for employment in bakery

escape.
Diphthera in the family last juno
led to an investigation by the board
of health and she was taken to the
isolation hospital in connection with
the City Home after positive evidence,
to the members of the board, showed
her to be a carrier. Her case was
very stubborn and the constant treat
mcnt ever since she was detained
failed to effect cure until now.

Sikh Wants Million
Francs to Meet Wills
To Cut Out LIQUOR -.

Paris, Sept. 25-(By A. PA cool
million francs is what Battling Sikh
1.-The conqueror of Georges Carpenter
wants to go to America to fight Har
ry Wills at the Polo Grounds, on Oc-
tober %, Manager Hellers cabled
Tom O'RourIe, the American fight
promoter, this evening in response
to an offer of $4,000.
Hellers said he considered o.
Rourkes offer totally inadequate. He
added that he had received an offer
of large sum for Sikh to meet the
winner Of the Joe Beckett-Frank
Moran fight in England on Boxing
day." the day after Christmas. Beck
EFT and Moran will fight October IL
The manager of the Senegalese said
he did not desire to go to the United
States unless the financial induce
ments made it worth while. 1t is
the opinion of Hellers that it would
be a good thing for Sikh to meet
Wills Immediately, as he considers
Wills the only man standing in the
way of a bout between Sikh and Jack
Dempsey for the worlds champion
ship.
The message sent by Hellers to
O'Rourke this evening was as fol-
lows:
Want 100000 francs net, ex-
elusive of income tax. Am ready to
leave Immediately and have Sikh
fight Wills October %"
The extra 100000 francs above the
million mark, Helers explained,
were for the expenses of the trip to
the United States and for training
expenditures
Sikh was accorded a tremendous
ovation in the sporting center of
Paris this evening:
Il am through with absinthe from
now on Sikh said to the Associated
Press. I'm a champion now. and
must behave like a champion"
Meanwhile. George Carpenter is
lying i'll and badly battered at his
home. He is not yet aware that he
lost his laurels to the man from SEN
egai. He still is under the impress
sion that the Negro was disqualified.
This morning Georges asked to see
the newspapers. He was told. how
ever, that the doctors Instructions
were that he must not read owing 20
the condition of his damaged eyes.
He has not been told that the judg-
es reversed the decision of the ref
cree awarding him the bout on a
foul and still believes himself the
light heavyweight champion of the
world
Regret is expressed on all sides
over the downfall of Carpenter, bat
no attempt is made by the sporting
newspapers to hide their satisfaction
over the discontinue of Francis
Descamps, Carpenters manager.
