ENDS TITULAR HOPES OF
FRENCH IDOL IN FOURTH
Dempsey Hammers Carpentier To Defeat With FusilladU
Of Rights 'And Lefts;1 Georges Breaks Right Thumb

Second Round But Gamely Continues Battle Until
Knocked Out and Fight Of Century Ends
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
RINGSIDE. JERSEY CITY, N. J.,
July 2. Jack Dempsey is still heavy
weight pugilistic champion of the
world. A crusting right swing from
the fiat of the American fighter shat
tered the titular aspirations of
Georges Carpentier in the fourtfc
round of the so-called "battle of the
century here this afternoon. The
pile driving blow landed flUHh upon
the Jaw of the Frenchman, flooring
him for the second time in a trifle
more than a minute of fighting in the
final decisive round. Although he
had staggered to his feet after the
Initial knockdown, he was unable to
survive the second knockdown and
vu motionless when Referee Harry
Ertl tolled off the fatal ten. counts.
Although the knockout punch was
driven to Carpentier's jaw. the way to
Dempsey's victory had been paved by
a continual bombardment of blows
which landed on every section of the
Frenchman's body. Each swing, jab
and uppercut scored to the stomach,
ribs and sides contributed to the sew
ing up process of the speedy Carpen
tier. In addition, a clubbing right which
landed flush on the back of Georges'
neck In the third round played an im
portant part in .his defeat. The
Frenchman folded over in an attempt
to protect his body, left the back of
his neck exposed and Dempsey with
the fair target in front of him drove
down a terrific Blam to Carpentier's
vertebra. '
After the knockout the Frenchman
stated in his dressing room that this
punishment was the cause of his pu
gilistic downfall. He said that the
punch stung his entire physical and
mental makeup and he was there
after unable to carry on any effective

Dempsey is Fighter
' Dempsey, as the winner, ran true to
his fighting form. Although Car
pentier struck the first blow of the
encounter, a flying left to the head,
Dempsey never at any time backed
up or showed any inclination to avoid
trading blows with his opponent.
While the champion bored in at every
opportunity, he devoted as much of
his attention as was possible to close
in fighting. Rights and left were
steadily driven home to Carpentier's
bpdy, alternated at times by drives,
jabs, hooks and cuffs to the French
man's face. Jaw and head.
For the first round Carpentier did
not appear to feel the effects of this
punishment. He fought In and out
at close quarters, using chiefly a
right swing or drive to Dempsey's
face and Jaw with an occasional shift
of the left to the body.
Most of the body blows Dempsey
blocked or-partly checked with el
bows and forearms, but he was not
able tc protect his face as well. Time
and again Georges shot over his
right to Dempsey's face and In the
second round when he turned loose
the heaviest batteries of his blows. It
appeared as though the champion
might be forced to assume a defensive
attitude. The pause in Dempsey's at
tack, however, was due more to sur
prise ard fluster at the savageness of
his opponent s rally. Arter a lew sec
onds of indecision he gathered him
self together and although the round
was undoubtedly Carpentier's on ag
gressiveness arid clean' blows landed,
there was not the slightest evidence
that Dempsey had been hurt by Car
pentier's punches. - -
Carpentier Helpless
He shot out of his corner at the bell
for the third round with every evi
dence of an Intention to finish the
battle. With a menacing scowl on
his dark features, he followed Car
Dentler about the ring as the latter
side stepped and ducked the lunges
in an endeavor tc- corner the chal
lenger. Crunching low and with body
and fists swinging from side to side,
he crept after Carpentier until he
caught . him on the ropes near a
neutral corner and began the" batter
ing which prosaged the end. There
was little question in the minds of
the more expert among the spectators
as to the ultimate outcome.
Carpentier. with his speed of foot
gone, confidence shattered, and with
blood running from his nose and
mouth, and a gash over his cheek
bone, looked like a hunted animal.
Dempsey, like an avenging Neme
sis, punished Carpentier . without
mercy.- .
The bell at the end or tne tnira
round found Carpentier In a seml
helpless condition on the ropes and
the gong saved him from a knockout
at that point.
' The fourth and final round was
soon completed and the picture pre
sented by Carpentier, helpless on the
floor, and his stunned handlers in his
corner was In marked contrast to

Carpentier Injury
Crippled Fighter
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
MANH ASSET, N. Y., July 2.
Georges Carpentier broke his right
thumb in two places and suffered a
bad wrist sprain in the second round
of his fight with Jack Dempsey in
Jersey City this afternoon. This was
reported by Dr. Joseph Connolly of
Glenn Cove, N. Y.. who examined' him
at his training camp tonight.
"We noticed that there was some-,
thing the matter with Georges' wrist
when he came into- the dressing room
after the fight," said Wilson, "but he
assured us there was nothing but a
sprain. It began paining him on the
journey home.
"Georges said he hurt the wrist In
the second round when he hit Demp
sey on the Jaw, but that he did not
think he had broken it."
Dr. Connolly's report follows: -"This
is to certify that I examined
Georges Carpentier after his fight
with Jack Dempsey and found him to
be suffering from, a .compound frac
ture of the metacarpal bone of his
right. thumb and a slight wrist sprain.
These injuries have rendered his right
hand 'useless."
He .said Carpentier's hand was
swollen to three times its normal size.
BIG ARENA WHEN
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
RINGSIDE, JERSEY CITY, July 2.
More than ninety thousand men
and women today saw Jack Demp
sey of the New World , knock out
Georges Carpentier of the Old World
In the fourth round of their cham
pionship bout.
The entry of the principals was
dramatic. ; The main bout had been
advanced ahead of the sixth pre
liminary, and the crowd was unpre
pared. There was heard " overhead
the roar of motors and two airplanes
circled round. Many were casting
an eye aloft when, unheralded, Car
pentier appeared.
In his gray silk robe he seemed as
care-free as If he were juet stepping
from his bath. His famous smile
curled his lips as he climbed onto
the canvas-covered square on which
he later was to meet defeat. He
turned to the crowds, clasped his
hands and shook -them In apprecia
tion of applause.
Then as unconcerned as a school
boy spinning a top he took his chair
and began bandaging his hands, now
and then watching maneuvers of the
airplanes.
Then came Dempsey, preceded by
a floral horseshoe sent him by his
admirers. He received rousing ap
plause. Never was there greater
contrast between two fighters the
blonde, clean-shaven Frenchman in
his silk bathrobe, and towering over
him big, dark -browed, bearded
Dempsey. Today's crowd was sur
prisingly orderly. It was like an or
dinary theater audience until the
main bout started. .
During the fight, however, there
was a constant roar from all parts
of the giant saucer. Women yelled
with the men, and now and then there
was a panic-stricken shriek as a bit
drew blood.
Cheer followed cheer for Dempsey
in the first round when he sent Car
pentier to the ropes for 'Carpentier
in the second when he outboxed the
champion for both in the third as
Dempsey plugged away for victory
and the Frenchman fought a brave
but losing fight.
. ineii tne KnocKout. mere were
wild cheers for the champion, but
round Carpentier's corner clustered
supporters, loyal even to the last.
As the European idol staggered down
the steps after shaking hands with
his conqueror there was awaiting him
a crowd who patted him on the shoul
ders as he moved to his dressing
room. Dempsey, too, had his loyal allies
and they accorded to him the homage
due a conquerer.
The rush to the gates when the
fight was over will never be forgot
ten by those who were in it. The
human tide flowed for what seemed
hours before the doors were reached.

query as to whether he would stage
a return battle between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey on Labor day.
Dempsey and Jack Kearns, however,
both said the champion would be
available on September 5.
"If Big Jess wants another chance,"
said Rickard. "and will agree to put
himself in the proper physical con
dition. I am willing to stage such a

upon Paris tonight when the defeat

was the first to reach Paris.
Mme. Carpentier listened to the
progress of the fight in the Petit Pa-

until the fourth round. When the
word came that her husband had
taken the count, she turned away and
said: ;
Georges Is defeated. I shall can
cel my trip to the United States and
await his return to me." - -
Hundreds of thousands of persons

on the boulevards. "It can t be true! '

downfall of their hero.
Paris became saddened and de
pressed, men, women and children
stood in silence while they read how
Carpentier had been completely out

Dempsey's victory was received with
wild' cheering by the Americans, who
threw their hats in the air, while
the French spectators looked on in,
silence. The Paris newspapers issued
extras.
Carpentier's wife, when seen later,
said that the shock to. her was very
severe, and her greatest grief was
that she was not with Georges Her
one desire was that her husband' re
turn to her as soon as possible. She
added proudly, however, "No mat

The escape was effected when the
first car had a puncture and the gaso
line supply in the second car was
exhausted. During the excitement
over the accidents, Mrs. O Hare
slipped out of the rear car and made
her way across the desert to Mon
tello, where she secured the assistance
of the marshal, who she said arrested
nine of the captors while they were
repairing the puncture and search
ing for gasoline. .
Upon arriving In Pocatello. the
woman found that her daughter had
arrived from Twin Falls Intent upon
filling her mother's lecture engage
ment, but found that the doors of the
hall In which they were to appear
had been locked. The owners of the
hall stated that the Twin Falls inci
dent was sufficient to warrant the
closing.
Mrs. O'Hare stated that ahe- was
tired of lecturing and that she would
try and cancel her remaining en
gagements, devoting her time to pre
ferring charges against her nine cap
tors. "Certain members of the

that if I returned to Twin Falls I
would be killed. They again reiter
ated the threat to the marshal of
Montello."

the kidnaping episode being dis
cussed without display of heat by

stetter. executive secretary of the
National Socialist party, Chicago,

irrespective of their influence or
prominence. We demand that you
do your best."

companied the alleged kidnapers
from Montello, said that he had no
list of names of the men in the party

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
LONDON. July 2. Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Colum

inquirers here that he had not come
to Europe as President Harding's
Colonel House, and that any sugges
tion to that effect was preposterous.
In an informal talk today, Dr. But
ler said: ..-.-.
"Ambassador Harvey told the Pil
grims and the world of America's
definite decision. But, despite his
assurances that it was absurd to
believe that the United States might
yet be beguiled into the league. I
have found many . in England still
cherishing the idea that this is not
really the case. These people cite
as justification of their views letters
they have received in considerable
numbers from friends of the league
in the United States, telling them
that the reported rejection of the
league is nothing but political by
play, and that in the end the United
States will certainly join. I am of
the opinion expressed by some promi
nent British spokesmen that any mis
understanding on this point is mis
chievous. I have therefore concluded
that the best thing to do is to tell
'such folks simply and bluntly that
Harvey spoke the truth and I m doing
it."
