STILL HAS PUNCH.

New York, May 26.—That Georges Carpentier, the French heavyweight, has not lost his punching or boxing skill as a result of his three years service in the army was conclusively demonstrated recently at the expense of an American boxer who took ring liberties with the French pugilist. It was Sergeant Ray William, of the American army, who tried to rough it with Carpentier in the first round of a boxing exhibition at St. Aignan, Loir-et-Cher. As a result William was knocked out in the second round and the memory of that right swing to the chin will linger in Sergeant William’s memory for years to come.
