title bouts, but there is not the shadow of a doubt that matches with Dempsey and Carpentier figuring in them would be rtiular aad profitable. The Denipsey-Carpentier bunt was far „am a flivver It was a record-breaker financially and It drew the greatest paid crowd that ever witnessed a boxing match. But better yet, it was successful as a contest, for Carpentier. the gamester, really went down to a glorious defeat and he is not even hinting at. his Injured right hand as an alibi. That shows the kind of stuff he is made of. A match between Dempsey and Will lard I would no ciojbt create must interest ' providing Willard really can get in shape for it. Rav Archer. Willards business confident in things fistic, who is now in New York, believes that big Jess ran g-t into condition and predicts that if he is matched with Dempsey again he will not be caught unprepared. There is little or no demand for another Dempsey-Brennan fight. Brennan is not • ft,|i.ed to a return match with the champion. wh" has knocked him out twice. Carrentter, despite his defeat by Dempley, is still a great card. He would be a tremendous card, matched with Tommy Gibbons, who has arrived as a challenger so rthe heavyweight championship and whose string of twelve straight knockouts means something. Here's a match that would be a hummer, and Gibbons is k willing to meet the Frenchman, Brennan lor Dempsey himseif. He sent a challenge Lto the ringside at Jeraey City Saturday, ■defying the winner. r After the battle retrospection by the buriy champion and his game little challenger shows only good sportsmenshlp and hon*r regard on both sides. Sitting in and easy arm chair at Matthews’ Farm, Manhasset. gazing out across the fields and nursing his sore right hand, yet looking little the worse for wear, Carpentier said of Dempsey Sunday : “He is a great fighter; the greatest I've ever met. He fought a clean, fine fight all the way. It was an honor to have met him. I believe be will be the champion for a long time. KNEW HE WAS DEFEAT. put all my strength into the blows I landed on Dempsey In the second round and when he didn't drop, and I felt a sharp pain in my hand. 1 knew I could not defeat him. There was nothing to do but go on fighting, trusting to luck to keep out of the way of his hardest blows.” Trainer Gus Wilson then explained that Georges surprised him and Manager Descamrs bv flying- Into the champion in the first round.' Carpentier was prompted to do so by the great crowd, the nne reception he received and the sight of the burly, scowling champion. "He felt that lie must make it a great fight and must do his best in the early rounds.” said Wilson. •‘So he went out and tried.” Dempsey's regard for Carpentier is just a*, lull of praise. "Georges is a great and game fighter." aaid the champion Sunday. "I'm sorry he broke his hand. I never saw any man more game and he took his medicine without a whimper; without a complaint. If he thinks he should have another try later on I'm willing to give it to him. but I think he Is too light for me. I m sure of this, however. He is really a great light heavyweight champion and he’ll prove It against the best man In hts class." Dempsey plans to remain In New York for a few days before going West to visit his mother in Salt Lake City. CarIpentler’s plans regarding sailing for home or remaining here will depend on developments within the next few days.

Champion Dempsey and Referee Ertle Pick Up the Fallen Georges After Knock-Cut.
French Accept Fall of Their Ring Idol in Graceful Style Paris Fans Still Believe, However, That Georges Is Some Scrapper. By NEWTON C. TARKE. PARIS, July 4. —Despite Georges Carpenter's defeat by Jack Dempsey on Saturday the belief is current in Paris that C’rapentier has not yet given up hope of becoming the heavyweight champion o r the world. The press suggests that there are a number of light heavyweights in the United States whom Carpentier could figut and this would pro\e first class training preparatory to another bid for the world title. The extreme iuterest in the fight has not yet completely subsided today. Movie pictures of the fight are eagerly awaited to obtain au exact description of the blows, particularly• those leading to Carpentier'* deieat. Contradictory descriptions were received in France, some saying that an UDDercut to the Jaw knocked out the Frenchman aud others that a double blow to the stomach turned the trick Referee Ertle'a description of the battle which was cabled here, impressed all srortsmen that the fight was fair aad square that Carpentier was beaten by superior strength and weight. Most Bportliig writers agree with Krtle that the better man won. Carpentier’s account, wherein he said he was completely beaten "after a loyal fight." was received with satisfaction. Carpentier paid homage to Dempsey’s fighting qualities. Mme. Carpentier, wife of the defeated pugilist, was thrown into a state of deep distress by a false rumor that Georges had died after the fight. She had regained her composure today and is eagerly awaiting the return ©f her husband. "I shall console him and cheer him up for the future bouts,” said Mme. Carpentier. Was It a Good Fight? RARITAN, X. J., July 4—President Harding showed little concern when informed late Saturday that Jack Dempsey had defeated Georges Carpentier, French challenger, with a knockout in the fourth round. “Was it a good fight?” he asked of newspaper men when told of the result He made no further comment and changed the conversation Into other channels.

He smacked out two home rung off th Brooklyn Dodgers In their home lot, the first off Mitchell in the first inning. The second circuit clout came In the third with Mitchell still delivering. The first homer came with the bases empty but the eighty clout In the third brought In two runs ahead. The two* four-baggers bring Kelly’s total for the season to twelve. Babe Ruth whose record was menaced by Kelly In the early season, has hit thirty home runs to date this season, the Bambino vleing the big fight for publicity Saturday by poling out two la one day. A.
