dPENTIER, IDOL OF I
BUTTERED BY SIKI. Tl
BATTLER, IN BLOOD
Battered anil beaten beyond recognition,
Georges Carpentier, thanks to
tho Senegalese, Battling Siki, today
lost both (he light heavyweight chain
pionship of tho world and the heavyweight
championship of Europe. Silii,
refusing to play tho role of an actor in
an alleged frame-up, from tho first
round bogan hammering his opponent
uuiu. 'it ilie- end ot mo mill, Mo nau
drawn blooO from tli-c champion's
noso, mouth and ears antl closed up
both his eyes.
On the opinion of tlio 00,000 persons
who gathered to see the Frenchman re
Kumc his fighting in Paris after three
years, they saw Carpenticr at his
worst. Brute force again boat science.
Siki, with littlo Idea of the art of box
lug but with terrifically powerful
blows,, turned the tables upon those
who Jeered and laughed at his crouch
ing attitudes when, in less than twenty
minutes' fighting, ho had floored
Prance's boxing idol.
Cheers and Jeers again intermingle^
when first Siki was given the decision
l>y (he referee, and later when the laxtor
changed his opinion, awarding Car
pentior the victory because the Negro
was supposed to have fouled. No one
had seen the so-called foul and sarcas
tic cries of "Carpentior" went up from
all sides. Hut the change in the decision
was not permitted to stand for the
judges decided that there hud been no
foul and overruled the referee.
The inglorious ending of bis career
had come. The French fans accept en
the Dcmpsey defeat unconditionally,
but tire whole country today considered
that Stki had met tlie champion simp
ly in order to afford the latter a
chance to fight once again in his home
iimi v-iii-jiuiu lur uuur.rusi:mated
(ho challenger of his titles was
the goneral opinion in (ho Buffalo Vol
odrome today.
llo thought ho hu<l merely to hit to
knock out his Negro opponent. Ani
many consider that the French champion
in the second round had excellent
opportunities for getting home a deal
ly right hlow (o the chin, lilte tho one
that shook Dempsey and that which
knocked out Britain's heavyweight
champion. Severe censure of Carpentier's
fighting methods was heard toward
tho end of tho fight, wherein, on
at least two occasions when ho undoubtedly
saw himself beaten, he. butted
the Negro's stomach.
SIKI DOWN IN FIRST ROUND.
RpUND ONE?Sikl rushed and then
came inlc r? clinch. Carpontior landed
several rights and lefts to tlio faco
which jarrei Sikl. Sikl then reie'vcd
two lefts to tlio stomach and went to
the canvas on one knee for a few seconds
whilo Carpentier, smiling, lookel
upon what ho considered easy prey.
Before the round was finished Carpan
tier punished the dnsky fighter constd
orably and the latter went to his corner
looking tired.
?
ROUND TWO.?Both came ont of
their corners with a jump and immediately
went into a clinch. Sikl was
holding on when Carpentier tore looso
, and kept Jahbing the black and making
him appear foolish. Sikl found an
opening and sent in a hard right to the
jaw. followed by a loft to the chin. The
blows jarred Carpentier considerably,
whereupon the Frenchman stopped his
playing and settled down to business.
Slid landed two effective blows to the
head, whilo the punches the Frenchman
managed to put. in did not seem
to trouhlo Sikl much. .
ROUND THREE?Shortly after the
start of this round Sikl went down uu
dor a hard right 011 the Jaw. He tooiv
a count of seven and was up again car
rying tne tignt to uarpenuer. ne ianu
ed a right to the jaw, which sent tlio
Frenchman down for a count of tiv?..
Siki (hen began to get the upper hand
and landed body and head blows of
all descriptions, with Carpenticr hang
ing on like grim death, whenever ho
could. At the bell Carpenticr wont lu
his corner looking like a well beaten
man.
ROUND FOUR.?Siki started tbt!
proceedings and soon had Carpenticr
holding on. This time Siki had to pull
out of the clinches and when he was
free ho hit. Carpenticr when and where
he pleased. Blood began flowing fromsoveral
wounds and the Frenchman
wont to his corner in very weak condi
tion.
CARPENTIER BIJTTS OPPONENT '
iRONB FIVE?Carpenticr started to
bold on immediately after tho bell. In
the clinches Siki landed savage l?lowb
to tlw> body and face until Carpenticr
face took on the appearance of a piece
of raw beef. The champion then huttori
mo colored lighter twico, (he secoivi
time sending him to tho canvas. But
Siki jumped up immediately and got I
to work on his tired and heaton advor
sary. In tho third minute of the fight.
Carpontier fell down from sheer exhaustion.
Siki lifted him up and when
Siki wns off his guard Carpontier
swung his right to tho colored man's
jaw. There was no strength behind it.
however, and Siki came back with
some torrific punishment which mado
Carpontier staggor all over the ring
when ho was not able, to hold on.
ROUND SIX?Carpontier came o*.n
of his corner a whipped man. He went
into a clinch, from which Siki got
loose and hit tho Frenchman at wilL.
' The finish came in Carpentter's' cor-,
nor, when Siki started to smothoj* his
helpless opponent with blows. Carpen
tier fell under the rope.s dead to tho
world. Tho Frenchman's seconds immediately
started what had been oxpected
if their man was beaten?tho
cry of foul. Carpontier was lifted uir.
but ho was unable to movo his head
for five minutes. The roferco at first
decided against tho foul claim, but

later reversed his decision and said ho
had disqualified Siki.
The judges then got together and ro

Paris, Sept. 24.?The Boxing Federi
Hon tonight declared Battling Stki tho
light lfeavywoight champion ot thw
world and hoavyweight champion of
Franco. It announced that it intemdou
sending a regular challenge for him to
meet all comers to the American boxi
ig authorities.
"You had hotter cahle Mr. Rickard
tonight . that I am willing to. fight
Dempsey right away," said tho Senega
lose to the Associated Press correspon
dent.
"This will he enough fighting for
today." remarked Mr. Heller, Siki's
manager as ho quickly started his
protege toward his dressing room.
Siki fought a clean and fair battle,
lie had tho crowd with him in the last
two rounds, especially after ho had
1 ifte?l Carpentier from Uie floor when
tho Frenchman was virtually helplens
in the fiftli round and was repaid b"v
a wild s"wing to tho jaw.
REVERSAL, SAVED BOXING OAMM
Tlie reversal of (lie first decision of
the referee In giving (ho bout (o Carpent
Icr on an alleged foul probably
saved the boxing game in France from
u black eye, as the crowd apparently
was unwilling to countenance a fairly
defeated man, completely out and help
less, being declared the winnor.
This particularly was true by reaso*
of the fact that there had been two
other disqualifications in the preliminaries
both fighters who profited b>
the decisions belonging to the "stable"
of Francois Descamps, Carpentier's
manager.
The two men who received the favor
ablo decisions were Fritch, who won
the Olympic featherweight title In
1920 when Billy Merchant of England
was declarod to have hit him low iti
the third round, and Charley Ledoux,
who was declared the winner over
over Benny Thomas of England In the
olghth round for lack of fighting spn
it on the Dart, of tho Enclishman.
<
POL.ICE PROTECT REFEREE.
Rpfereo Bernstein had his side ot
ring under (lie protection of the police
wlillo tlio judges .wero deliberating on
the question of who was the winner ol
the bout. Descomps also was the object
of the anger of the crowd. Many
persons attempted to reach him, but
lio made a quick getaway. The spectators
in tlio popular sents, which solu
for seven francs each and for which
many persons had been saving the'ii
centimes for many weeks, were especially
bitter In denouncing Carpentiei
tlK> winner. A majority of the crowd,
however, scorned to take great joy in
seeing 0110 more idol shattered.
I Siki's victory over Carpenlier, it is
believed in French sporting circles, 1h

more loath than ever to submit to rcgu

real trip up or meroly tho leg of tho
colored fighter passing between the
wlilto man's legs.
Tho film, howovor, makes it evident
that Siki liad na need to trip Carpontier,
who at tho moment scorned to ho : m
seeking his opponont in order to sup \
port himself, being patently a finished
man. I
Tho film was run through ten times
for tbo nowspaper men's benefit. When
tho lights woro turned on Manager
Deseamps jumped excitedly to liib
feet, exclaiming that tho referoo's dis
qualification of Siki was jastltie<i.
The great, majority of the newspaper D
men present, however, expressed them ^
1 selves as unconvinced of this. 1
' Tho pictures were taken at the ratti
of 1(50 per second but were thrown on I
tHo scroem as if they had been taken E
at the ordinary rate. Thereforo th-elr H
