Champion Happy As Schoolboy
JERSEY CITY, July 2. The champion was as happy as a school
hoy, and there were no murks on his face or body to show the ef
fect of the Frenchman's punches.
"I won just as I thought I would." the champion said. "ft was a
pood fifiht and I think the public was satisfied. They say Carpentier
HtiiKKcred me with a rlht hand punch in the third round. 1 never even
,rcmcmhcr being lilt hard enough to shake me up."
"Perhaps he caught me off balance- and it looked as though I was
staggering. Perhaps I could have finished him sooner, but I was tak
ing no chances. Carpentier is the heayyweight champion of Europe,
and I had my own title at stake and wanted to take no unnecessary
chances of losing it."
Jack's first thought as he came from the ring was of his mother. He
took a pencil and wrote her the following telegram:
"Mrs. C. Dempsey. 372 South State St.. Salt hake City, Utah.
"Dear Mother: Won in the fourth round. Received your wire. Will
he 'home soon as possible. Love and kisses. "JACK."
MINCSIDE, July 2. .Jack Dempsey
:ho world's heavyweight. uhampiom
enocked out (ieorges Carpentier of
jKrnneo a" few seconds after the fourth
round opened today, sending him
heavily to the canvas with a short
right honk to the chin. The actual
time of fighting in the fourth round
was one minute and sixteen seconds.
Previous to the knockout, Carpentier
waa' floored with a left to the body,
and a right to the chin. Carpentier
took the count of nine before spring
ing to his feet, Where the grim, de
termined Dempsey measured him-with
a punch to tho chin which ended the
battle. Dempsey stood over tho fal
len French idol until the count was
finished and then tenderly picked up
tho bleeding and dazed Frenchman
and dragged him to his corner.
Dempsey gave Carpentier an un
merciful beating. Ho opened up a
cut under the Frenchman's eye and
battered him viciously around the
head with rights and lefts until Car
pentier's face was swollen and bleed
ing. Carpentier fought gamely back
at tho champion, but he was out
classed. Once lie was half knocked
and half pushed through the ropes
and most of the time was going away
from the champion, Dempsey kept
after him, driving him to the corner,
whenever he had an opportunity. Car
pentier was out only for a few sec
onds. Manager Descamps applied first
aid as quickly as the dazed French
man dropped into his chair. Police
immediately climbed into the ring and
made a path for the champion and
Carpentier to go to their dressing
rooms.
Crowd Goes Wild.
When Dempsey drove home the
winning punch tho swelling crowd
that packed the arena was on its feet
yelling. Tho crowd, so aputhetic dur
ing the preliminaries, went wild when
the fighters entered tho ring. During
the four rounds and at tho knockout
tho shrieks of tho women, as blow
followed blow and blood was drawn,
joined the din.
Tho sudden manner in which tho
main bout was staged with postpone
ment of the last preliminary caught
tho spectators by surprise. There
were cheers when the American
champion was introduced, but tho
crowd, tho arena around, cheered it
pelf hoarse as Carpentier wag hailed
as champion of the old world, Idol of
his country and a soldier of France.

HINGSIDK, JERSKY CITY, July 2
(lly Associated Press.) The carnival
of blows, with tens of thousands
massed about a little IS foot ring in
Jersey City, opened at 12:10 with pre
liminary bouts that served as cocktails
for the feast.
The first bout was between .Mickey
l.elmont and Jackey Curlin.
In accordance with the New Jersey
boxing law no decision was rendered
In the preliminaries, but Curtin was
generally conceded to have outpointed

as ever entered the ring, the French
.birdman - kept his eyes turned up,
watching planes circling overhead
with a noisy staccatto at the very mo
ment the boxers appeared.
There was not the usual rush to the
ring after the knockout, that cham
pionship rush that carries all before
it. What rush did start soon was
checked by a heavy detail of police
around the ring.
The throng, which during tho bout
rose and sank in their seats In a
wave which rippled from ringside to
rim stood in their places after the
knockout came. Tho crowd cheered
the conqueror, but. it also cheered
tho vanquished. Tho Frenchman's
supporters clung around his corner
until ho was revived and staggered
from tho ring, tho "battle of the
century" was over.

was the gallery god with tho perls
copo eye, who had camped all night
outside the arena for tho privilege of
paying Promoter Tex Rlckard $5.50.
Gradually, however, the wavo of
humanity rolled down to the ringside,
as the more plutocratic ttickct-hold-ers
reached the stadium. Unlike the
ordinary show, today's "buttle of tho
century" had no exclusivo baldheaded
row. Hairless pates, in many cases,
were replaced by coiffeurs par excel
lence, for women who recently had
espoused the boxers' art had turned
out In full force for today's carnival
of blows.
They came, those pilgrims, equip'
ped for anything from a trip to tho
moon to a journey featured by Blgnor

Travelers who landed In Host Rlck
ard's seventh circle of seats, rimming
tho amphitheater, came as for the
raco track, with glasses to span tho
300 feet to . tho ring. Many carried
as part of their regular equipments:
Hun glasses, one pair; pillows, . ns
many ns tho old family sofa at homo
had held; sandwiches, a legion; fans,
as numerous as tho wings of the fa
mous Jersey "skeeters" that also vol
planed to "Boyle's thirty acres.'
What tho fight fans saw when they
arrived was a great hollow with men
and women, a great hollow In which
tho Wool worth building could have
lain down without scarcely having to
draw in its neck, a great hollow from
the bottom of which only tho sky, a
fringe of Jerseys famous smokestacks
and two buildings could bo soon.
In tho arena, which from Its top
most tier flow at regular Intervals
the trl-color of France and tho starry
flag of America an army of work
men were putting on tho last touches.
Women Study Looks.
Women contented themselves chief
ly with analysis of tho boxors' looks.
Tho fighting jaw of tho American,
which they had come to know In tho
movies apparently fascinated, some:
with others It was tho smile of tho
dashing young French birdman that
cast tho spell. There wero many
gasps of dismay when ' word was '
passed down tho lino that Carpentier,.
described by one Kngllsh writor as a
"Greek god wtlh a punch,' would '
fight without his wavy, blondo pom- '
padour, which had gone tho way of '
all pompadours when a serious match '
was at hand. ' ' ' 1 '
And, after hearing all tho accounts'
of how Jack was growing whiskers trt '
protect his jaw, and Georges had
shorn hla locks so he could not bo
towed around tho ring by thorn, u
spoctator wondered it ho would be
ablo to recognize tho fighters when
they entered tho ring.
Society Women There.
As noon approached, boxes squatted
halfway back In the arena took on
tho aspects of a horse show crowd
doing tho unusual.
Society women, smartly dressed,
and wearing their hats of many col
ors, sat munching sandwiches and
drinking soda pop.
When tho bleacher seats wore
thrown open tho third person to
