Already there is talk Of matching
Dempsey with Sikh. but such con.
versation seems a little previous. 1t
takes more than one swallow to
make a summer, and also more than
one important victory to make a
champion.
Norwich looked like a real cham
pion when he won the Kentucky
derby. but flivvered after that.
WIN Sikh be another Norwich?
Plans which are now under way
to take the giant black to London
to meet England's best will decide
Sikh supporters, which were as
easy to find in Paris before the
fight as Greeks in a harem, will
doubtless try to rush things. A
cleanup in Europe must come be-
fore spectacle like of the Demp-
sey.Carpentied extravaganza can be
expected.
The contrast between the state
mert of Descamps, Carpenter s
manager. before the fight and after
are interesting. Before:
The big black will be knocked
out in three rounds"
After:
"Georges will never fight again. L"
Bot as Kipling says, that's
another story" Or as Goldberg
might put it, you never can tell
by the bunk they throw"
Although he is probably a mil
lionaire, 1t is hard to conceive Of
Carpenter retiring while he is in
his prime. At present he has every
thing to gain but little to lose. Few
are the champions who do not try
to come back.
To pick the next heavyweight
champion is like trying to choose the
winners of a baseball pennant race
several weeks before the end.
But we claim any one who Is i'm
peryious to pain is some guy, wheth-
sr black or white.

Carpenter was the victim OF MS
own over-confidence, coupled with
the tremendous kick behind Skis
right.
Sikh. however. was nearer knocked
out at the finish than any champion
ever was. He passed out in a char
after hearing the referee amid near
riot. give the fight to Carpenter on
the ground that Sikh fouled him.
AS Carpenter himself deliberately
butted the negro just before the fin
ish, the crowd thought 1t was Car
pentier who had been disqualified, and
when the 10000 fans understood that
the fight had been given to Car
pentier, II looked like trouble.
In fact. the place might have
been wrecked in another minute,
had not the Judges revoked the
referees unfair decision, and fl
nally, after ten minutes delibera-
tion, awarded the fight to the
Senegalese.
Carpenters own supporters were
the loudest against the first decls-
ion. the women standing on chalrs
and yelling:
"SilIi, Sikh
Carpenter is through forever"
declared his manager, Descamps' 10

However, friends Of Carpenter
are already clamoring for a return

The fight by rounds:
FIRST RoUND-Siki is the pic
ture of nervousness. He cannot
make up his mind to punch Carpen-
tier, who is dancing all around,
throwing smiles at his lady friends
in the ringside seats. Sikh clutches
at Carpenter and jabs with his left.
Sikh breaks, swings and misses
Carpenter swings TO the Jaw and
Sikh goes down on one knee for the
count of seven. Sikh ClinChcs.
SECOND ROU'ND-Nearly all In

Freeman admits that Turner was
not in the best OF shape when he
fell before the ssachusetts Finn,
and believes that. II in the best OF
condition, he might make it an even
thing.
Il read in the paper about Kings s
offer to bet $500 that Joe can de
feat Ketonen," says Freeman. I'm
not interested particularly in that.
am not betting anything. I'm
merely promoting the match, If
there is to be one.
III Turner is willing to accept
the Charlotte offer and meet keton
en- here at the Capitol Theater, let
him say 40 and III at once get In
touch with Ketonen. expect 10
see King some time today and may
have something to announce tomor'
row"
In losing to Ketonen Turner
also lost a chance to face Pinky
Gardner at the Capitol. Had he
won, Joe Freeman would have
offered him that bout. Losing to
KetOnen may he said to compel
him to leave Washington for his
bouts.
Joe Turner has many strong sup
porters I'm Washington, men who
have followed his career on the mat
for years, who do no: believe that
KetOnen is his master, even after
losing to him. These supporters are
willing to pay good money to see a
return match between these two
grapplers.
On the other hand, Turner has
many enemies here who like nothing
better than to root against him.
They, too. are willing to pay good
money to see him defeated for the
second time in succession in his
home town.
II is because of this situation that
Promoter Freeman believes a return
bout between Turner and Kctonen
might provide him with somc ChoCo-
late cake. But he declines to go
one cent higher than the Charlotte
promoter. Jim Elliott.
"Tf Turner has spark Of Stnti-
ment in him" says Freeman, he
ought to prefer to meet keton1n
again right where he lost his first
bout. II he prefers 10 go down to
Charlotte and face kctonen there
well. that's his business. Let him
go.

not hard to find. They are:
/. Sikh is impervious to pain. he
says, and the way Georges battered
him around for a few minutes one
Ia apt to believe 1t.
2. He is a Senegalese. a native OF
the French African colony OF
Senegal, which contributed troops in
the war who electrified the world
With their refined savagery and
daring in battle. He is a citizen OF
France.
3. After Drawing a fusilade OF
Carpenters blows he was knocked
out" by a mental shock.
According to cable dispatches from
Paris before the bout the manager
of Sikh said in effect:
There Is no doubt but that Car.
pentier can hit Sikh as often as he
pleases, for the big black is a wind
mill worker with both arms, but
takes size fourteen shoes. However,
the French champion cannot hit
hard enough to hurt Sikh, who will
let Carpenter hit him until he Is
tired. The Sikh will use his right
and he will only have to use it
once"
The Washington times., 1922-09-25

The truth OF that statement is
almost proved by the develop
ments. Sikh, In addition to being
a physical giant, is mental
specimen, a unique character, for
he swoOned when tho referee, who
was overruIed by the judges,
awarded the decision to Carpen-
tier.

The reunion was most happy one
aud notwithstanding the strike. the
