Black Scrapper Who Punished the Idol of France Challenges Jack Dempsey
‘HARD GUY’ DROPS FRENCH
DANDY FOR COUNT AFTER
BATTERING HIM TO A PULP
Georges Carpentier Decisively Beaten by Battling Siki in Six
Rounds of Twenty-Round Scrap—French Idol, in De
lirium, Calls for Another Chance.
By United Press
PARIS, Sept. 25—Beaten almost beyond recognition, Georges
Carpentier, former ring idol of France, tossed all night on his
bed and in a delirious frenzy yelled for revenge and another
chance against Battling Siki, the giant Senalese heavyweight, who
knocked him out yesterday in the sixth round of a fight scheduled
for twenty rounds.
Ministrations of his doctors, his heart-broken wife and his
faithful manager, Descamps, availed nothing. He wept and
pleaded that arrangements be made immediately for another
meeting with the black man.
No outsiders were permitted near
Carpentier, but Dr. Martel, his
physician, said that both his eyes
were completely closed his lips were
swollen immensely, his nose was
broken, a long: gash was cut in his
cheek, his right hand was fractured
in two places and his left hand in one
place.
The effort to- talk was obviously
painful, but he persisted in punishing
himself and refusing to heed the ad
vice to remain quiet.
"I made the mistake of trying to
study Siki in the early rounds. He
got over a lucky punch and took all
my strength away. I hit him with
everything I had. He has wonderful
powers of recuperation. His race is
not made like mine," Carpentier said.
"Georges has himself to blame. He
started playing with Siki at the be
ginning of the fight and it is bad to
tease a panther,” Descamps, his man
ager said. Siki. the wild man from
Senegal, directed his eyes and ambi
tion today.
The Giant black French colonial an
nounced his plan as:
“Jack Dempsey and any of them
over there that want to fight me."
Even Carpentier's Btaunchest ad
mirers refused to believe anything,
hut that the former heavyweight
champion of Europe had been fairly
beaten by a cleaner fighting opponent.
Beaten to Pulp
After starting out as if he would be
an easy winner, Carpentier was
beaten almost into a pulp by the
heavy hitting, wild swinging Sene
galese. In the early rounds, Georges
dropped his opponent three times to
his knees and he did not conceal his
surprised that his huge antagonist
failed to stay down for the count.
Siki started in the fourth round
and from that time on it was just a
question of how far Georges' heart
would carry him before he would have
to give up. When he went down from
terrific body punches and a hard
right and left to the jaw In the sixth.
Descamps claimed that Siki had
tripped him.
The referee, Berstein, sustained the
claim and declared Carpentier the
winner.
Fifty thousand spctators in the new
Buffalo stadium became as one in
raising a tumultnous protest against
the obvious attempt to take a victory
away from a deserving winner.
Later it was announced that the
judges would review the decision and
return a verdict in twenty minuses.
Not one spectator left the hall and an
ovation was raised when the an
nouncement was made that the
referee was in error when he failed
to consult the judges anil that his de
cision was overruled, making Biki the
winner.
Carpentier committed many fouls
after the second round. He was
warned repeatedly by the referee for
butting, holding and attempting to
use his knee while in the clinches. It
was oDvious that he was trying to
lose on a foul and save what little
prestige remained for him.
Siki was rather cautious all through
and he proceeded slowly until the
vaunted right hand of Carpentier
came over and caught him on the
chin. It sent him to his knees, but
he came up 6miling and jeered at the
white man. At least six times the
same right hand that jolted Jack
Dempsey in the second round of last
year's fight came over on the button,
and then Siki remarked:
“You can’t hit, Mr. Carpentier.”
When he saw that he had nothing
to fear. Siki waded In. Much after
the style of Harry Greb, he started
both hands working like the flanges
on a fan. He missed many blows,
but he landed just as many, and ev
ery one seriously hurt the French
man.
What sympathy the crowd held for
Carpentier turned to animus when
Siki picked him up off the floor of
the ring and started to carry him to
his corner. Carpentier struck twice
at him.
Siki first drew attention when he
knocked out Harry Reeve, former
light heavyweight champion of Eng
land, in six rounds. He then won a
1.5-round decision from Marcel Nilles
and outpointed Paul Jouraea, who
acted as Carpentier's sparring part
ner in the United States.
A. B. C.S AND GIANTS
Colored Teams Break Even Over the
Week-End—Charleston Stars.
With the series standing one vic
tory apiece, the American Giants of
Chicago and the A. B. C.s were to
tangle again at Washington Park this
afternoon.
The Giants won the series opener,
played in Anderson Saturday, 2 to 1,
and the A. B. C.s finished on the long
end of the score at Washington Park
Sunday, 11 to 5. Two games were
to have been played Sunday, but
darkness halted the second struggle
in the fourth inning. The score was
tied at the time.

Congerville Has Added Huffine
to Its Roster of Grid
Stars.
By HEZE CLARK
JONESBORO, Ind., Sept. 25.—1n a
game witnessed by toe record crowd
of the season the Jonesboro football !
team played a 0 to 0 tie game with j
the Congerville eleven of Muncie here j
y esterday. Both teams had a record j
this season of three games won. Jones
boro had piled up large scores in its
games, hut Congerville yesterday was
reinforced by the giant Huffine, ex
Purdue player and last year's star
on the Staleys at Decatur. 111.
With a ripping off tackle play built
around "Chunk” Helvte, Jonesboro
made a series of first downs, but the
Muncie aggregation always had a de
fense that held at the critical time.
Three times Helvie's tries for drop
kicks missed.
W. Smith Reel and Joseph Smith,
the Jonesboro line men, halted the
rush of the Congerville backs. Coonlo :
Checkeye. Babe Hole, Hioklo Hole and
Huffine resorted to an open end run-1
ring attack in the second half, which
at times was successful. In the clos
lng minutes of play the Muncie team
lost its best chance to score. A pen- :
alty put the ball on Jonesboro's one
yard line and It was Muncle's ball
first down. Two times the Muncie
backs tried to rush the ball over the
goal line and then a penalty for off
eide play by Muncie set the ball five
yards back. A forward pass Incom
plete In the end zone resulted In a
touchback.

Playing
the Field
With Eddie Ash
ONE MORE victory for Giants and
Yanks and the big league races will
have been decided. Pirates and
Browns, runner-up teams, soon will
become mathematical Impossibilities.
Rogers Vlornsby looms as (lie
home run king of 1922. He Is
leading the race with forty-two.
He has put right-handed batsmen
back into their own. It looks like
second choice for the lefties.
WALTER SCHMIDT says he has
been promised the managerial berth at :
Pittsburgh in 1923. McKechnie will
be business manager, it is said. Due
to the fact Schmidt draws a big sal
ary, Owner Dreyfuss probably figures
he ought to be manager.
THE INDIANS refuse to fall out
of fourth place. Just when they were
on the verge of dropping a peg they
braced and downed the Brewers twice
In a double-header at Milwaukee Sun
day. Cavet and Seib were the win
ning pitchers. Seib allowed only five
hits in the second game. Eddie
Brown's home run with two mates
aboard won the opening fray of the
day for the Tribe.
MIKE KELLY is being hailed as
the leading manager outside major
circles. Baltimore disputes the as
sertion, however, and offers Jack
Dunn as its candidate for minor
league supremacy. Both are the lead
ing pennant-winning pilots of their j
respective leagues.
Shinners, former Hoosler, batted
for Hill, former Hoosler. In Sun
day’s Card-Giant game. Later
Jonnard, former Hoosler, cent in
to pitch. No one threw a paw
paw at the umpire.
What is happening in the boxing j
game? Pancho Villa.. Filipino, is
American flyweight champion and
Battling Siki, a Senegalese, is world's j
light heavy champ and European j
heavyweight title holder.
GEORGES CARPENTIER now can
go back to the movies —where he be
longs. Georges, he take a tumble.
Senga Siki. who trains on the bright
lights, has stolen Georges' thunder.
They will now prepare Siki for
his boxing demise. A match with
Harry Wills or Jack Dempsey is
being talked of.
IT WAS tough on Georges to have
had his nose flattened. It was his
movie pride. He may have to be the j
villain hereafter Instead of the hero

Steele and o’Mara Tell Smith
of Hopes—St. Petersburg
as Spring Camp.
Owner William C. Smith of the
Indians today returned from Milwau
kee, where he attended the Tribe-
Brewer series.
The big Tribe boss brought lots of
news for the fans. Ho saw Fitzsim
mons pitch and expressed the opinion
the Muskegon hurler would be a star
for the Indians next season. Fitz
lias won tWD games and lost two since
he has been with the Tribe and the
defeats wore caused by poor support.
Smith says the young fellow stacks
up like a seasoned Class AA perform
er now. He believes Outfielder Hamel
will make the grade also after more
experience in the gardens.
Smith confirmed reports that St.
Petersburg, Flo., in all likelihood
would be the 1923 training camp of
the Indlians. He has corresponded
with the Chamber of Commerce there
and likes the terms offered.
While in Milwaukee the Tribe owner
conferred with Pitcher Bob Steele and
Third Baseman O’Mara, who jumped
the Indians a few years ago and drew
a five-year suspension for it. They
have "served” three years and desire
to return to organized baseball. They
are playing outlaw ball and go.ng
good. The players seem to think
their suspension will be lifted this
winter and if it is both will return to
Xndianapol.s.
Pitcher Png Cavet returned home
with Owner Smith and has been given
permission to pitch independent ball.
Cavet won his game Sunday and
Manager Hendricks granted him a va
cation.
HENNESSEY RETAINS CROWN

Johnny Hennessey, like the brook,

in the western finals, Walter Wes
brook of Detroit was his opponent. ;
The match was decided in four sets,:
6-2, 7-5 36. 61. Hennessey and Wes

United News Staff Correspondent
PAL Sept. 25. —If M. Dempsey of Amerique is looking for
a fight the Montemarte respectfully presents Siki, black conqueror
of Georges Carpentier.
Immediately after the second and last decision that was
rendered in the Siki-Carpentiere fight Sunday night, s iki’s mana
ger announced his Sengalese mauler challenges Dempsey to battle
for the world’s title.
Meanwhile American tourists were finding the Montemarte a
novel pluce Sunday night. The negro population turned out to
celebrate, and as the “color line” is never recognized in France,
the whites were joining in the merry making.
The popularity of Carpentier has
been on the wane for some time, and
with poor showing Sunday against
Siki, sporting authorities are of the
opinion that Georges has just about
reached the bottom. His posing in
