PURSE FOR CARP.
 BEING HELD UP
His Knockout of ToWnley being
 Investigated

Vienna, May Flour and one hall minutes suffieed for Georges Carpen- tier to defeat Arthur Townley, the British light heavyweight, in what
 was to have been a 20-round bout here.
 The FrenchnIan knocked out Town ley Tn the second round with a clean solar plexus- blow one minute and a half after. the round had started. Un- der the impact Townley, who several times before had been fioored, doub- led up with pain, crashed to the can- vas and was counted out.
 To some of the uninitiated Aus trians the blow appeared to be low. But experts of the fighting game seat ed at the ringside were Of the opin- ion that it was one of the cleanest cut Enockouts on record. The Vienna Boxing association was appealed to against the manner in which the final blow was delivered. The association will render its verdict on the fairness of the knockout today. Meanwhile the purse money will not be paid. The withholding of the association's de- cision may cause a delay in the de- parture of Carpentier from Havre for the United States on Saturday 10 meet Tom Gibbons.
 It was a prosaic lumberjack bat tie lacking science as far as it went, and its quick ending was a rude jolt to the spectators coming as it did in less time than it took those in the high priced seats to count out their stacks of crowns 10 pay for the priv ilege of seeing what had been adrer- tised as an exhibition of manly art. Although there was keen disappoint- ment for a while, hero worship final ly prevailed and the 15,000 persons present, among whom there were nu- merous women, cheered the victor.
 At the sound of the first gong Car penter rushed 10 close quarters with his opponent and engaged him in fierce in-fighting. Townley was badly punished about the body during the milling. Then, just before the gong ended the round, Carpenter stepped back and whipped over his famous right to the jaw.
 Townley fell flat, and was lying prone on the canvas when the ses- sion ended.
 Coming out of the second round Townley appeared 10 be groggy. Car pentier, nevertheless, was wary. After sparring for a moment tho French man again clipped Townley on the jaw. and the Englishman took count of four seconds. When he arose, Car pentier again sent him down for the count Of eight. Again arising, the Englishman endeavored 10 slave off defeat by elinching.
