i
Paris, Sept. 24.?Georges Carpentier,
Europe'B "boat of tho century,
lost one of the sorriest exhibitions of
fighting-ever seen in any ring today.
Battling Siki., tho Senogalcso heavyweight,
knocked bim out in tho sixth
roand of a Blugfest punctuutod by
fouls, but altogether lacking in science
111b nose broken, his eye closed and
hiB face covered with blood, "Qorguea
Georges" had to bo carried from> the
ring, but it took the Judges another
hour to anndunce that the hotter bruis
' er had won.
In tho sixth round of their schedul
ed twenty-round bout Carpentier went
down under a hail of vicious rights
from tho big Negro. Ab ho foil his legs
slipped between those of Siki), and tho
referee declared tho whtto man had
won because tho black tripped h?m.
CROWD STORMS RING.
I
Shouting with rage tho crowd storm
ed the ring and after an hour's consul
tatlon the judges'reversed the reCeree'a
decision thus croating a now lightheavywoight
champion of Europe. Iv.it
or it was announced Siki will challenge
Jack Deinpsey.
Georges entered tho ring a heav> ;
favorite and still tho idol of Franco, j
Before the oiul of tho fourth round the'
idol had fallen, litorally and figura? |
tively. Floored for a count in tho ;
third, his later attempts to foul were .
greeted with jeers and curses from
his followers. Knocked out In rno j
sixth, ho was carried away with tho
hoots, catcalls and whistlling of 80,000
of his countrymen ringing in his oars., i
while his grinning conqueror was
hoisted high on the shoulders of new ,
found admirers. j
' Tho Buffalo Stadium was packed
when Siki entered lie ring. Ho got a
cordial, sympathetic reception, for
every 0110 knew Georges had only con
sented to interrupt his cinema activities
because ho wanted to end the "iin
pudent" aspirations of the Negro. ,
*
BOUNDS INTO RING. ,
t
"Poor fellow!" was the crowd's early
attitude, "Georges will kill hinv with
that right." And there was no hotting.
While these kindly persons weru
mentally measuring the Senegalese
for his coflln, Gorgeous Georges hound
ed into the ring, beaming!, shaking his
hands hiithcly above his bead, smiling
his lovely white-toothed smile to
his Parisian friends and dressed in
silk and satin just as he was at Jersey
City.
But the throng did not rise too well
to his infectious personality. True, he,
got a big hand, but many were silent, i

clinrity. '
As the gong sounded,, the specta '
tors settled back tp watch a short in
structive boxing lesson given by Prof.
Carpentier. Even Siki seemed to fee.
he was in for a bad beating; ho had
not oven trained systematically for
the match.
Both men seemed to bo in excellent
condition, however, although Georges
was a bit thin and palo. His black op
ponent was a picture of power, his
muscles rippling under the ebony skin
In threo years of fighting he has only
been beaten onco, but has merely
learned the roputation of being unhurt
able and unskilful.
Apparently knowing that ho was ui
against a heavier hitter than ho has
yot encountered, Siki came out of his ]
cornor quickly but cautiously. All ,
through the first round he bardiv
tried to hit Goorges, and his own (
clumsy defense was easily penetrated. ]
During the first two rounds Carpen <
tier repeatedly landed his "terrible 1
right" on Siki's jaw but the Negro did i
not seem to be oven Jarred by Eur

In company with Mr. W. C. Scott,
tho noted tonsorlal artist of this city
1 went down tho Kiver ltoad Sunday
September 24th., at about 1 o'o'.ock.
1 ronionvbered that a gruesome tragedy
had taken place in that neighborhood
tho week before. Wo had.
nearly reached St. James Church and
was told that wo worn s'x miles from
Richmond. A colored boy riding a
bicycle looked at tho car and inquired
if ii was a Stanley Steamer.
Ho had heard, of the car and had
seen 'it. at a distance. I asked him
about the killings.
"You have passed tho place," ho
said. "It is about a mile and a half
from hero. You wK1 ?oo houses and
right off from tho road ip where il
happened. t ?
that white house.
I
Another inquiry and a white resident
told us just where to go. Thou
wo reached tho settlement and, tho
colored folks pointed out the iittlo
(white houso off from the road to me.
Mr. Scott did not care to leave tho
car. So I vaulted ont, leaving liim
in tho car in the roadway. A row-1
idont informed mo that 1 would, lln'd
tho sister of Willie Olaytoji, who did
tho killing, at the "house. I walked
up to tho houso and a gLrl, sixteen

in her arms, came to the door which
was open.
the dog and thtc chickens. i

She did not ask me my name. Sho
uta noi inquire as to my business.
I was looking at a tliroo room, one
story cottage, painted "whito. I was
at tho kitchen d.oor, while my (log,
Mutt, proocedod to charge tiio chickens
in (ho yard, much to my chagrin
and annoyance. That dog would
stop when ordered hut you had to
keop on ordering, for tho flutter of
a chicken seemed to exert an irresistible
influence upon that dog.
THE SISTER'S STOIIY.
I learned tho following story.
. "My name is Etta Clayton. I am
sixteen years old.. Yos, this is my
baby. My brother's threo cliildron
are here. His name is Willie Edward
Clayton. Ho and his wifo had
a disagreement last Monday morning.
iii.s wifo left liore and came;
back that ovening and got her three

and waked li?m. Wlien lie went to
tho door, these peoplo rushed in.
The place belongs to my fatlier. lr
tho party wero Gertrudo Clayton,
Willie Edward Clayton's wife; Malinda
Carter, his wife's aunt; Albert
Brown,, his wife's father and his

Iior three children with her and they

"They sa.Ul they wero going to
beat my brother and, they threatened
Lo kill him. lie grabbed a gun from
behind tho door and ho shot his wifo,
Iior father and her aunt, killing
them. Ho has Air. Gunn as his
counsel."
I had been able by threats to keep
that dog, Mutt, quiet long enough
Lo get that statement. I told this
jhild-mothor, who I was and then
wandered back to the Stanloy Steam
3ar fn the roadway.
A BLOW-OUT.
I had reached Mrti,n Street, in
'ront of Robert C. Scott's undertaking
parlors when tho roar left-hand
