CHAMPION Georges' 'Star A* Fails to Hi Only Once, In the Secoi tier Have Chance foi OJj Fate Was Aj By WILLIAM SLAVDII M'JfriT. (TJait?d N?*i Staff Correspondent.) RINGSIDE, JERSEY CITY, July I.?Broken, crushed, bleeding, striving convulsively to make his horrfMy punished body obey the comBiAi\d of his dauntless will, Georges Carpentier struggled on the canvas in the middle of the fourth round, gasping with agony while the referee tolled the fateful ten which marked the pugilistic passing of the idol of France. Carpentier was outclassed from start to finish and he put up a fight against unsurmountable odds that will leave his memory one of bright and galfant courage In the hearts of the more than 90,000 people who saw him go to defeat at the hands of Dempsey. the invincible champion of all champions. After being horribly beaten and apparently knocked , helpless In the first round the courageous fighter came back and1 then in the second round staged a rally which brought the great! crowd to its feet screaming vrith i excitement. He knocked the chani- i pion with rights to the jaw and had him groggy. There was aj period in the famous second round i when the Frenchman might have flattened his foe had he had the stamina to follow up the advantage he had gained. Dempsey*# terrible blows in the first round hail so weakened him that he was unable to finish the champion after! stunning him. This was Carpenter's only chance. When the men stepped In the ring there was a moment of silence ; and then a gasp from the crowd, j It was a gasp of sympathy and j amazement at the apparent frailityj of the slim Frenchman in such 1 pitiable contrast with the ferocious I bulk of the champion. When they squared off in the first round Carpentier got his .left to the Jaw. They clinched. At the break j Carpentier tried two rights for the j Jaw. It was ap^rent that the Frenchman meant to make a toe-to- j toe flght of it. rather than using his vaunted speed to run away. Dempsey punched him terribly In I the clinches, shooting solid rights; and lef's to the body and face. The Fre^nch.nan was like a toy in the ' champion's hands when they came to close quarters. Dempsey caught : Carpentier with a fierce left hook ' to the face and blood spurted from I the challenger's nose. A right to | the jaw knocked Carpentier half | through the ropes. They were clinched at the bell, and Dempsey : was punishing the Frenchman 1 furiously and only the bell saved ! him from a knockout. Carpentier! staggered to his corner, apparently j a beaten man. Descamps. chatter- j ing with excitement, worked over! him during the intermission and poured advice Into his ears. The | crowd believed Carpentier would be i unable to last the first minute of j the second round. It seemed im- 1 possible that he could rally after ! the punishment he had received. At , the beginning of the second round j Carpentier came from his corner! and instead of covering up and trying to keep away he electrified the crowd by tearing into the champion ! and rocking him with deadly rights' to the jaw. Dempsey clinched and ! held on. At the break the Frenchman again reached Dempsey's jaw with heavy rights and again Demp- ' sey clinched. Again at the break | Carpentier went after Dempsey. but j he had shot his bolt. He was weary . and reeling from the punishment ^at he had received and from the \ fatigue of his own efforts in the uper-human rally. Dempsey resumed the offensive j working in close and punching Car- I rentier in the face and body in the- clinches. The Frenchman was i like a child in the champion's grasp. It was a brave and pitiful sight. At I the end of the round the Frenchman staggered to his corner, bleed-I ing from a cut in his left cheek and from the nose. The end came a I minute and sixteen seconds after the beginning of the fourth round. Carpentier was gasping for breath, h4s legs were shaking, his chest hoaving convulsively and his eyes wild with agony. A terrific right hook to the jaw sent him crashing to the canvas. He was cool in his ! agony. He took the count of nine and j forced himself to his feet. They clinched. eDmpsey fought him I loose and as the Frenchman fell fairly away from the clinch, hooked him another fearful right to the jaw. The champion fell to the mat on his face. Nothing was left to him but the will to rise and fight again. While the referee tolled off the fateful seconds, the Frenchman, with his face in the rosin, struggled to force himself to his feet. The tortured, beaten bodv writhed and jerked at the direction of the brain that bade it rise. Further effort was beyond him. Tho crowd was quiet. The voice of the referee was clearly audible as it spoke the numerals that marked the end of the idol of France. "Six, seven, eight." Carpentiers slim, beautiful body writhed on the canvas like that of a man wounded to death. At the count of ten he fought gallantly to regain his feet and continue the hopeless battle, but it was beyond his power. He was out, unconscious. It was only instinct that was moving him. "Eight, nine," Dempsey standing near and watching his fallen foe with an expression of sincere sympathy on his ordinarily fierce face, turned away. "Ten. that was the end. But the Frenchman did not hear the word m*r marked the end of his dreams. He still writhed and struggled on the .mat attempting to rise. Harry Kctle. the referee, turned to Dempsey and touched his arm. The "hatfle of the century" i? history. $rawn had triumphed, not over brain, because the champion fought, rf anything, a more heady battle Mian Carpentier, but it had triumphed over a lesser brawn. The saying that a good big man will alUys beat a good little man was again proven true. The Frenchman HaiT proved tha* he was no joke fighter but he had also proved that ijo#\nysterious power of will, no tj-ickk of hypnotism and no degree .>t t|igh courage can avail against the afteer physical power and ferocity such a fighter an Dempsey. * Dempsey is champion of the world Vd Carp curler is a broken idol IJut. one imagines that the champion in his victory has nothing but sympathy for the foe he crushed. One imagines, too. that Dempsey i+ight well be willing to give his rs CRUSH i of Destiny' alt 'Inevitable' nd Round, Did Carpenr Victory, and Then gainst Him. cr?wn the glory and the wealth that go with its possession to have the ovation that 91.000 American* refused their own countryman. When CJeorge Humphreys, the announcer. introduced Demosey there was a scattered bit of cheering that did not last ten seconds. When Carpentler was Introduced the great crowd rose to its feet and cheered wildly for more than a minuts. It was a patent rebuke to the champion. It told him that while he might win honors and wealth with his rowerful lists he could not gain what was freely given the challenger, the good will and heartfelt admiration of the thoroughly representative crowd of more than 90.000 people. The ovation given the Frenchman, after the cold reception accorded Dempsey, cut the champion to the heart. As the crowd cheered the challenger Dempsey scowled and winced to the pain of the thrust, twisting about uneasily in his chair and scowling mournfully at the floor. Even as the victor In what is perhaps the greatest sporting event in the history of modern times he was not the recipient of long or hearty cheering. Those who sat at the ringside will always, however, carry in their minds a good opinion of the sincere manliness and sportsmanwhip of the unpopular champion, no matter what their opinion of his war record may be. He exhibite-1 no sign of exultation in his victory except a boyish nmile and the sm.le was not in evidence until he had helped carry Carnentier to his cnair and been assured that his foe waa on the way to recovery. His first act after his victory waa to shake hands with the man who he had defeated, and his first utterance after the battle was a sincere praise of Carpentler. When he returned to hla corner at the finish "f "*e fight, he leaned over the ropea and with a shake of his hear said to some newspaper friends: "He's a mighty tough boy; a good boy.' It was just a few minutes befora 3 o'clock when Carpentler entered he ring and every seat in the huge stadium was filled. The mighty motion of the vast crowd rising to iu f. et to acclaim the challenger, made one think of a tidal wave or an earthquake or some other mighty force of nature. Carpentler was accompanied by Descamps. Wilson and Joumee. He was palpably nervous. although he did well at carrying it off with an air ot nonchalance. He bowed, shook hands with himself to the crowd and smiled, but when he sat down in his corner he was unable to control his fingers They kept moving nervously, plucking at the ropes, tapping on his knees. He constantly wetted his dry lips with his tongue. When Dempsey entered the ring the Frenchman rose and greeted him effusively. Dempsey met the advance with what amounted to * rebuff. He nodded curtly to the Frenchman and his expression or sullen consentration was relieved by no answer to the Frenchman's welcoming smile. When Carpentier sat In his corner having his hands taped. Descamps was volubly busy in Dempsey'., corner, apparently objecting to everything that happened. If it was his intention to annoy the champion. he failed. He paid no more attention to him than he would have paid to a fly on the floor. Between the rounds Descamps was a study in impotent agony. He has always been like a fussy mother to his charge,. and to ?tllnd he, less by the ringside and see him beaten into submission was perhaps to him a greater agony tkan Carpentler himsei, was experiencing at the hands of his opponent. Between the rounds Descamps worked over Carpentler furiously and with tears standing in his beady little eyes. Carpentler himself was a pic Lrr<" "J trAa*edy * ' the bout proTd his rally in the second round whcn he hit Dempsey With everything he had and failed to put him out. it'became evident no h ey" that he re?""d he had came h?

It was the thins: for which he had lived and fought since his eleventh year when Descamps. a strolling acrobat* Picked him out of the coal mines in France and started to mako of him a champion of the world. Almost ever sine* Carpentier can remember Descamps has been telling him "Georges, some day you will be the champion of all the world." rhat has been Carpentiers one ?reat lifo ambition and it has been his faith in life. He has had the imbition to be champion and he ha" ilways believed that he would be :hampion. He believes that he fought under a star ?a star of iestiny?the star that guided Na>oleon to the heights. And today in the ring Dempsey's fists shatterad his faith as well as his body. Made a mockery of his religion and his ambition. Carpentier's one remaining glory ?the one good height to which he ittained?was the tremendous ovaion given him when he entered he ring. That ovation was not ?iven to Carpentier an a prize ^ghter, but to Carpentier the sollier of France. On the other hand. Dempsey's chagrin must have been intensified by tfce manner in which ^he huge crowd receiyed the vicory and the way in which they eceived him after the victory. iVhen he returned to his dresslngoom after the battle many pertonal friends reached out to shake lis hand, but the crowd was cold. < ie walked through the vast throng. , ING RIGH1 The Champion Says: -Well, It mi IIMI l(kl.

Dean Captures College Title ????? / Defeats Sweetster in Final Round of Golf Tourney. GREENWICH. Conn.. July ? ?JSimpson Dean, captain of the Princeton team, thi? afternoon won the annual intercollegiate golf championship, defeating: Jess Sweetser, Tale previous title holder, by 3 up and 2 to go at 36 holes over the Greenwich Country Club course. Dean played an unprecedentedlycompelling game throughout the second round. He shook three birdies in a row and Ave birdies within six holes out of his system, despite humidity, and altogether six birdies i in sixteen holes, besides five holes in par. In the morning round Dean led by 1 up. Sweetser was 3 down ending the 21st hole, and but 1 down ending the 24th; after that he thrice alternated between 2 down and 3 down, being 2 downat the turn. On the first round Dean ended 1 up, haying made 40?18?78 to 37? 40?77 for Sweetser. Sixes at the first and eighth to 4s at bath for Sweetser accounts for their apparent discrepancy in stroke showings In the second round Dean was out in 36, to 37 for Sweetser. Dean had a 2 at the ninth, and another 2 at the tenth. Both halved the eleventh in 3 against par 4, and Sweetser holed a birdie 2 at the twelfth to 4 for Dean. Then they both had birdie 4s at the thirteenth, and Dean still another birdie 4 st the fourteenth. Cards. First Round?

"Bill" Bromley, who has exclusive charge of the Potomac Boat Club shells, leaves this morning in charge of the eight-oared shell that is to be used by the Junior and intermediate eight in their race on the Schuylkill River course at Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon. He will also take with him the two singles sculls in which Dunfcan and Hutterly will row. Andv Hutterly, one of the best oarsmen in the Potomac Club, has been entered in the association singles race, and it is expected that he wyi return with the trophy. He has been training for the past two weeks, and with his great strength and knowledge of the game, should land victorious. Capt. Bob Duncan. having won the association singles on the Harlem last I^abor Day, Is not again eligible for that event bu^ has been entered ih the onequarter-mile dash and the mile and one-quarter senior championship rare. Duncan's time over the Potomac course has led his fellow members to expect great things of him. Hutterly and Duncan will also leave this morning and expect to go over the Schuylkill course this afternoon. Coach Hecox made a tenstrike when he prevailed on "Shorty" Kintz to coxswain the Junior eight. Kints. who only weighs a few pounds over the century, is one of the best coxswain that the Potomacs have ever had. and although the juniors expected to win the race, their chances are ereatlv Incressed with "Shorty" guiding their course and getting every ounce of power out of them. not as a champion, acclaimed, but as a stranger in a strange land. He Is a victor who is more to be pitied in his triumph than is Carpentier in his hour of bitter defeat. The battle of the century Is history. It was a strange battle. Never before has there been a sporting event in which the entire world has been so Intensely interested; never before, perhaps, has there been a sporting event that aroused such bitter partisanship on an athletic contest of any sort about which opinion was so widely divergent. There were many strange features of the affair. And of them all, perhaps the strsngest is the tragic fact that Carpentier is triumphant In defeat and Dempsey is cruelly defeated in triumph. I^et no man think that the taste of that defeat In victory Is not bitter in Dempsey's mouth. Dempsey is a peculiarly sensitive fellow. We have perhaps never had a champion more desirous of the ^ood will of his countrymen nor more keenly hurt by its lack. So tonisrht, ss a result of the fight upon which the world's eyes were j Focused two men will face despair. I Carpentier, the triumphant loser: c snd Dempsey. the beaten victor.
