SALEM, Sept. 25. The 61st Ore
gon State Fair opened this morning
with a record attendance. The offi
cial opening marks the beginning of
six days of amusement and Instruc
tion and the end of many months of
arduous endeavor on the part of the
directors. Everything Is in the best
shape and everyone connected with
the fair la highly enthusiastic.
"The greatest Oregon State Fair of
them all" Is the way Secretary A. H.
Lea describes the annual exposition
of the wealth and progress of this
commonwealth.
Record Crowd Kxpected.
. "We are expecting one of the big
gest crowds of the fair on this day
and on Tuesday which Is Farmers'
and Good Roads' day," said Mr. Lea.
"There are thousands of persons who
are going to take no chances on wea
ther conditions later In the week and
are coming Monday and Tuesday, be
cause they have positive assurance
that every attraction will be ready
for their viewing."
The latter part of the week re

every department and building, with
an overflow cared for under tents in

this year is by long odds greater
than ever before as Is' also the pout

exhibits in years past have been a
miniature affair in comparison with
the one in place for this year, and the
displays In the automobile and ma
chlnery buildings will easily eclipse
any that has been recorded hereto
fore. Additional departments, such as
that of art, textile, and dairy prod'
ucts Include the best and most com
prehensive showings of any that has
filled their four walls.
No Cemation of Event.
And from the viewpoint of amuse
ments there Is a program that leaves
absolutely no dull moments, for from
the time that the gates open each
day, until curfew rings at night, there
la no Intermission, or cessation of
entertainment events. The racing card
Is the fastest In years, with liberal
purses offered to attract the best

PARIS, Sept. 25. Beaten almost
beyond recognition, with both eyea
closed, lips swollen to a huge site,
nose broken and a gash in his cheek,
Oeorges Carpentler, French ex-Idol,
tossed in a delirium today calling for
revenge agalust Battling Slkl, the gi
ant Senegalese heavyweight. Blkl
knocked out Ceorgea in the sixth
round of a scheduled 20-round bout
last night. This spoils Dempsey'a de
sired return fight with Carpentler.
American promoters are on Slkl'a
trail, aeeklng to close a bout with
Dempsey or Harry Wills.
Never Had Clianea.
PARIS, Sept. 24. Oeorgea Carpen
tler, the heavyweight champion boxer
or Europe and Idol of France, waa
defeated today by Battling Slkl, the
Senegalese fighter. In the slxlh round
of what waa to have been a 20-round
bout
Carpentler never had a chance after
the third round. He was barely able
to respond to the bell at the begin
ning of the sixth. With hla right era
completely closed and bis nose brok
en, he waa unable to put up a guard.
In the alxth the negro fighter
planted a aerlea ot terrific rlghta to
Carpentler'a head and the French
Idol aank to the floor. One of hla
lege caught between the lega of tha
Senegalese as he fell.
Referee Is Threatened.
The crowd, the largest that ever
witnessed a boxing coutest In France,
sensed the end. '
The referee, Harry Bernstein, at
first ruled that Slkl had been disqual
ified for 'tripping," but the throng,
which considered thst Carpentler had
been beaten equarely by a better
man, received the decision with a
great chorus of hoots and Jeers and
even threatened the referee with bod
ily harm. The three Judgea of tha
fight, Victor Breyer, Jean Pujol.
Frenchmen, and Mr. Dennlaon, ot
London, went Into consultation. An
hour later they declared the negro
the winner. Their verdict waa re
ceived with terrific cheering from
the spectators who had remained la
the arena for It. Carpentler had been
hooted by large numbers ot the crowd
as he was taken from the ring to hla
dressing room.
