NO FOUL BLOW IS OPINION OF BIG MAJORITY Verdict of London Is That Carpentier Knocked Out Lewis Fairly. * MANY DIFFERENT TALES What the Pictures Show LONDON. May 12. —Motion picture* of the fight last night between Georges t'arpeutier and Ted Lewi* show plainly that Lewi* was knocked out with r. punch delivered while the referee was holding his arm. The pictures show Carpentier several times in the act of butting Lewis with his head, while in the clinches. The final blow that ended the tight, a right hand to the jaw. was delivered when the referee had one hand on the biceps of the Englishman and with the otner hand was pushing Carpentier back out of the clinch. Both lighters were Just getting free as the bjow went oVer and Lewis seemed to have hi* bauds down in the brt-ak-away. LONDON. May 12.—Georges Carpenti" knocked out Te.l Lewis with a fair blow, was the verdict today of a Jury consisting of Referee Joe Palmer. Jack Dempsey, world s heavyweight champion. Jimmy Wilde, world"* flyweight champion arid all London sport writers. London, hearing as many as a doten different tales from hysterical rlngslders who admit that they don't remember everything that happened, did not know what to think today about the rather sensational one-round knockout of the idol of the east side by the Frenchman at the Olympia last night. The gallery crowd shrieked *"foul, foul,’" when Carpentier' clipred Lewis with a terrific right book to the Jaw and put him down for the count, after two minutes of fighting. (Joe Palmer, the referee. In a statement to the Cuited Press, said today: “The final blow was perfectly fair. The men had broken from a clinch. It was Lewis’ business to protect himself. He didn’t do It.” Ja k Detnpsey world’s champion, who sat at the ringside, eaid: “The blow which ende dtt was perfectly fair. The men w - ere at such tension that anything was halite to happen.

The nest thing I kne v 1 was struggling to get up. I lougbt clean, expecting Carpentier was a clean fighter.” . Jimmy Wilde, who sat at the ringside said: “It was some pjinch. It would havo knocked a lamp post. I never saw anythink like it. It didn’t look like a foul to me.” London sport writers emphqeised the fact that Lewis turned his head momentarily and Carpentier leaped to the opening like a tiger. They all supported the derision of the referee. Tommy Burns, former world's heavyweight champion, took an opposite Tlew. To the L'niteM Press he said today: “It was the dirtiest two and one-half minutes I ever saw. Both were to blame, but Carpentier wae the worst. I can’t see why the Frenchman wanted to foul by butting with his head and holding and hitting when he had an advantage of twenty-eight pounds over an opponent in every way his Inferior. ’’Lewis undoubtedly had the Frenchman worried with his Infighting aftd forced him to clinch for protection. If the blow wasn't a foul it was the nearest thing I ever saw to it. However, we rnuat abide by the referee's decision.” / PIRATES DROP ROHWRfe. PITTSBURGH.

WEAVER COMES OUT WITH MORE SCANDAL TALK, NAMING TIGERS IN 1917 CHARGES

(Editor’s Note—What George (Buck) Weaver, banished White Sox ball player, declares to be a true inetde story of the “throwing” of an American League pennant—the pennant of idll—fit told In the follewing exclusive interview. Weaver was interviewed following the announcement that Charles A. (kimlskejr, president of the Chieago American League Club, had been summoned to appear in court in Milwaukee to show cause why lie should not be questioned regarding certain 1917 games.-) By JAMES 1,. KIEGALI.EN. (Copyright 1922. by International Nows Service). CHICAGO, May 12— Detroit “threw” .the 1917 American League pennant to Chieago. according to George Weaver, /firmer third baseman of the White Sox, Vho took jiart in the alleged ‘’fixed’’ game*. The Tigers, he said today, deliberately permitted the White Sox to win seven game* at the tail end of the season when Chicago and Boston were racing neck and neck for the flag. The sensational charge that practically the entire Detroit 1917 team, many of whom still are playing in the American League, and all the White Sox regulars. Including several stars still with the club, were “in” on the fixing of the game*, was made by Weaver. Each White Sox, he alleged, contributed >45 or SSO to a pool which was turned over to the Detroit players by Charles (Chick) Uandil aud Charles (Swede’ Risberg Two years later, during the 1919 pennant race, the Sox reciprocated by permitting Detroit to win four hall games near the finish of the season, so the Tigers could get Into the “oue-two-three” money. Weaver said. Here is Weaver's own story: “The first I ever heard of ’fixing’ major league hail games was in 1017. We wanted to ’win the pennant badly.' Pants Rowland (Clarence Rowland), at present manager of the Columbus American Association Club, who was our manager and Kid Gleason, who was hi* assistant, had been telling us In the clubhouse time and again that if we won the world's

series that year ‘Commy’ (Charles A Comiskey) would write each of us a cheek for $5,000 regardless of how much was taken in at the gate during the world's series. That was to be our share —55,000. “As the season neared a close, the race became more and more exciting. The strong Boston lied Sox were running us a neck and neck race. We needed help. We knew Detroit hated the Red Sox’* guts. Besides, we knew Detroit didn't want an Eastern cffib to win the pennant. So it was decided to fix the last two series between our club and Detroit. "Gandlll and Risberg collected the

money from thekWhite Sox players. I remember the occasion as well as if It was yesterday. We were in Philadelphia and had an off day. Detroit was In New York. I have a sister living at Stowe, I’ll., my old home, and I ran over to see her. i inis D happened that I did not put any money In the pot to pay off Detroit. During the collection or the money the question came up of 'how about Oscar Vltt?’ Somebody said he is Weaver’s friend : Weaver will take care of him. Thoy knew I had been in the habit of visiting Vltt at his California ranch each fall and that we were good friends. SAYS AGENTS HAD ACTED. “When I got back from the short run home, Ganilll and Risberg nad been at lowed off to take the money over to the Tigers. It was Just enough to buy each one of them a suit of clothes. Just a little donation. They hated Boston, anyway. "I never did give Vltt any money. I

waited until Christmas tlm and gave him a nice leather bag. “We won the wona'a aerlea all right, but we never got the $5,000.” Weaver named several players now with the White Sox as having contributed to the pool. He said that a lot h r now with ihe Sax—naming him — had paid his share and Unit ut two other players by check. * Weaver said that his reason for “squawking” now is that It aeema that tm i, Kania?i*fi from baseball for all time, from all leagues, whereas, he asserts there are a score of players now performing in the “big show” equally as guilty as he and the half dosen others who have been ruled out. The court action in Milwaukee relating to Owner Comiskey was filed in behalf of “Happy” Felsch. another of So-called "'black sox." Felsch, In an affidavit, insinuates by inferential queatlons that the “old Roman,” as Comiskey Is called by his friends, personally participated In the alleged conspiracy to persuade the
