 men After Fight

New York, July s6,-Motion pie- lures of the carpentier-Tunney bout reveal that tho blow which felled the Frenehman in the fourteenth round WAS not foul. despite assertions Of many ringslde spectators that It was below the belt.
 Carpenter and Tunney together with their managers Francois Des. camps and Billy Gibson and Jack curiey, Carpenters friend and ad- visor, attended A public showing Of the films at a Broadway theater this afternoon after which Doscamps gave out the following statement:
 "A mistaken impression prevails over the blow which knocked Car pentier to the resined floor Of the ring In writhing pain. It was not Tunney's gloved fist that committed the alleged foul blow, 1t was Tunneys knee.
 Plan No Protest
 "Wo are making this assertion merely to give our side Of tho battle with no intention of registering any complaint against any of the officials or the public. We are both satisfied that the referee was far and honest. meant us no harm, and we are satis- fled to abide by his decision. In con- clusion we hope for a return match with Tunney and feel confident If al- lowed another chance we can reverse the decision"

 Carpenter had but little to say, maintaining his usual reserve and leaving the talking to Descamps Asked whether he still had the alum- mum protector which it is claimed Tunney dented with the alleged foul blow, Descamps said that in excite ment of the moment after he had ripped the protector off Georges, ne threw it to the clamoring crowd at the ringside.
 Descamps said that he did not care to discuss the decision further, hav- ing made his formal protest last night at the ringside, which was ig- nored, he intended to take the mat ter no further.
 Going Back Home.
