'" M CARPENTIER-TED LEWIS BOUT IS CALLED A FROST LONDON, May It. (By the Asso ciated Press) The blow with which Georges Cnrpcnller knocked out Ted (Kid) Iewla In the first round of their championship bout here last night waa legitimate.,. In the Judg ment of ao-ralled expert who report ed the fight. Crlef of "foul" came from all parts of the auditorium when the decisive blow wns struck, Joe Palmer, the referee, is quoted I the Dully Telegraph as saying "The Mow was perfectly fnlr. The men had been broken from a clinch i and it waa Lewis' business to protect himself. This he failed to do." It la asserted by some of the news paper writers that Lewla had several times delivered blows on prevloua break-aways, though they did not land, and his failure to guard him self In the final break Is declared an amazing blunder which disregarded elements of boxing. One or two reporters, while con ceding that Carpentler by the strict letter of the rules waa entitled to act as he did, complain that hla conduct lucked regard for the spirit of the regulations which the Frenchman In variably haa displayed In his previous fights. For the fight a a fight, however, nobody has praise. The Times' critic says the fontest was a bad as It coo Ul have been, and must have ended In disqualifications If It had not ended as It did. The Daily Chronicle expert describes It as a positive traveaty on boxing and says both participants were equally guilty of Illegitimate tactics. BASEBALL SCORES National ST. LOU 13, May 12.
