COBB. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 2.—It is re- scorded that once upon a time Aaron o) Burr, belng challenged by Alexander ' Hamilton, bade Hamilton meet him over In Jersey and there destroyed his enemy. This afternoon, also, New ssJersey in a way of speak- {'ing, repeated itself, which is'a habit ‘'to, which history is addicted.

As ‘for Dempsey, unless this country should go (o war again, it seems 7‘ probable that he will continue to be sour leading fighter for quite some time to come. Let us consider the matter chrono- logically, as it were. At noon of the day when a cham- glonsh\p battle is to be fought two ours later almost anything that hlnpens is news. A prominent music hall performer entering _unostenta tiously, accompanied only by his pri- , vate photographer. his personal press agent and his official announcer—one such just came in as I did—constitutes “a thrill. ‘World's Biggest Arena. ‘Terracing up beyond and behind and +on every side of us rise the banked tlers of the biggest amphitheater this +world has seen since the Caesars sat | . dn the Circus Maximus having their #Christian martyrs fried on one side.

Dempsey, plainly enraged, is fast: Carpentier is faster still. But his blows seem to be wild, misplaced, while Dempsey, in the clinches, into which they promptly fall, plants pun- ishing licks, with swift, short-armed strokes. The first half minute tells me the story. The Frenchman is go- ing to be licked, I think, and that without loss of time. A tremendous roar goes up as Dempsey brings the first blood, with a glancing lick on the ide of his opponent's nose; It in- reases as the Frenchman is shoved half through the ropes. round is Dempsey's all the way. has flung Carpentier aside thrusts of his shoulders. He shoved him about almost at will. Uncovers His Speed. But midway of the second round Carpentier shows a flash of the won- derful speed for which he is known. With the speed he couples an unsus- pected power. He is not fighting the defensive run - away - and - come-again fight that was expected of him. He stands toe to toe with Dempsey and trades 'em. He shakes Dempsey with The first He with has a volley of terrific_righthanded clouts | which fall with such speed you do not see them. You only see that they have landed and that Dempsey is bordering on the state technically known as It is a wonderful recovery for renchman. _His admirers shriek to him to put Dempsey out. To my mind, the second round {s his by a £ood margin. Given more weight, I am sure now that he would win. Yet I still feel sure that Dempsey''s superor- ity in gross tonnage and his greafer ptitude at _in-fighting will_ wear the lesser man down and make him lose. The third round is Dempsey’s, from bell to bell. He makes pulp of one of Carpentier's smooth cheeks, he pounds him on the silken skin over his heart, he makes a Xylophone of the challen- ger's short-ribs. The Frenchman cir- cles and swoops, but the drubbing he gets makes him uncertain in his swings. Most of his blows go astray. They fly over Dempsey’s hunched shoul- ders, they spend themselves in the air. Predestined Finish. In the fourth round, after one min- ute and sixteen seconds of hard fight- ing—fighting which on Carpentier's part is defensive—comes the foreor- dained and predestined finish. I see a quick flasking of nakec bodles writhing in and out, joining and separating. I hear the ‘flop, flop, flop of leather bruising human flesh. Carpentier is almost spent—that much is plain to every one. A great spasmodic sound —bart gasp of anticipation, part groan of dismay, part outcry of ex- havstion—arises from nearly a hun- ldred thousand throats. Carpentier totters out of the clinch; his face is all spotted with small red clots. He lunges into the air and then slips away, retreating before Dempsey’s onslaught. trying t6 recover by foot work. “Dempsey walks into him al- most_deliberately,like a man aiming to finish a hard job of work in a workmanlike shape. His right arm crooked up and in like a scimitar. His right fist falls on the Frenchman's exposed and swollen jaw; falls again in the same place even as Carpentier is liding down alongside the ropes. Now the Frenchman is lying on his side. ‘Walts Nonchalantly. Dempsey knows the contract is finished—or as good as finished. Almost nonchaiantly he waits with his legs spraddled and his elbows akimbo, hearkening to the referee's counting. At the toll of eight Car- pentier is struggling to his knees, beaten, but, with the instinct of a gallant fighting man, refusing to ac- Knowledg, It.© At mine he 1g up on the legs which almost refuse to sup- port him. On his twisted face is the look of a sleep-walker. It is the rule of the ring that not even a somnambulist may be spared the finishing stroke. Thumbs down means the killing blow and the thumbs are all down now for the stranger. For the hundredth part of a sec- ond—one of those flashes of time in which an event is photographed upon the memory to stay there forever, as_though printed in indelible colors —I1 see the Frenchman staggering, slipping, sliding forward to fate. His face is toward me and I am aware that on his face is no vestige of conscious intent. Then the image of him is blotted out by the intervening bulk of the winner. Dempsey’s right arm swings upward with the flailing emphasis of an oak cudgel and the muffed fist at the end of it lands again on its favored Frenchman's jaw. Hears Thud Above Shouts. The thud of its landing can be heard above the hysterical shrieking of the host. The Frenchman seems to shrink in for a good six inches. It i- as though that crushing impact target—the THE FRENCH IDOL IS SHOWN HERE SINKING TO THE CANVAS AFTER DEMPSEY HAD LANDED THE NOW FAMOUS LEFT TO THE JAW. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE KNOCKOUT.

He folds IIDI into a_ pitiably meager compass and goes down heavily and again lies on the floor, upon his right side, his face | half covered by his arms as though even in the stupor following that deadly col- lision between his face and Dempsey's fist, he would protect his vulnerable parts. From where I sit writing this 1 can see one of his eyes and his mouth. The eve is blinking weakly, the mouth is gaping, and the lips work as though he chewed a most bitter mouthful. I do not think he is entirely unconscious; he is only utterly helpless. His legs kick out like the legs of a cramped swimmer. Once he lifts himself half way to his haunches. But the effort is his last. He has flattened down again and still the referee has only progressed in his tateful sum of simple addition as far as “six.” My gaze shifts to Dempsey. He Las moved over into Carpentier's cor- rer and stands there, his arms ex- tended on the ropes in a posture of resting. He has no doubt of the out- come. He scarcely shifts his posi- tion while the count goes on. I have never seen a prize fighter in the mo- nient of triumph behave so. But his expression proves that he is merely waiting. His 1ips lift in a snarl until all his teeth show. Whether this be a token of contempt for the hostile majority in the crowd, or merely his way of expressing to himself his sat- isfaction, is not for me to say. d Sflence for Count. The picture lingers in my mind after the act itself is ended. Behind Demp- sey is a dun background of gray clouds swollen and gross with un- spilt rain. The snowy white horizon- tals of the padded guard ropes cut across him at knee and hip and shoulder line; otherwise his figure stands out clear, a knobby figure with tons of unexpended energy still held in reserve within it. The referee is close at hand tolling off the inexorable tally of the. count—"seven, eight, nine,"—but scarcely is one cognizant of the referee's presence or of -his arithmetic either. I see only that gnarled form lolling against the ropes and, eight feet away, the slight- er, crumpled shape of ~‘the beaten Frechman, with its kicking legs and its sobbing mouth from which a lit- tle stream of blood runs down upon the lolled chin. In a hush which in- stantaneously descends, and as in- stantaneously is ended, the referee swings his arm downlllke a sema- re and chants out “ten. m"l‘ohe rest is a muddle and mess of confusion—Dempsey stooping over Carpentier as though wishful to lift him to his feet; then Dempsey en- circled by a dozen policemen, who, for some reason, feel called upon to sur- round him; two weeping French help- ers drlxg}ns Carpentier to his cor- ner and propping him upon a stool; Carpentier’s long, slim legs dangling as they lift him and his feet slither- ing In futile fashion upon the resined canvas; Dempsey swinging his arms aloft in tardy token of appreciation for the whoops and cheers which flo: toward him; all sorts of folks crowd- ing into the ring; Dempsey marching out, convoyed by an entourage of his admirers; Carpentier, deadly pale, and most bewildered looking with a for- lorn, mechanical smile plastered on his face, shaking hands with some- body or other, and then the ring is | empty of all save Humphreys the orator, who announces a concluding bout between Billy Miske and Jack Renault. 7z Never Had a Chance. As I settle back now to watch with languid interest this anti-climax three things stand out in my memory as the high points of the big fight, so far as I personally am concerned. The first is that Carpentier never, had a chance. In the one round which' roperly belonged to him he fought lelell out. He trusted to his strength when his refuge should have been in his speed. ‘The second is that vision of him. doubled up on his side, like a fright- ened, hurt boy, and yet !trlvln: to heave himself up and tak® added punishment from a foe against whom ho had no shadow of hope. The third—and the most outstand- ing—will be my recollection of that look in Dempsey's lowering front when realization came to him that a majority of that tremendous audi- ence were partisans of the foreigner.

The promoter and a large force of ticket counters were at work upon the coupons and books. Rickard said that it probably would be several days before a final and accurate accounting could be made. So far as could be judged tonight, the paid admissions were in excess of eighty thousand, which, combined with various free ad- missions, raised the total attendance to a trifle more than ninety thousand or approximately the seating capacity of the huge arena, By the Asscciated Press.

By the Associated Pre DUBLIN, July 2.—Many men are believed to have been killed in fight- ing following the ambush of a police patrol by civilians on the Ballina- Sligo highway near Dromore yester- day. Seven constables were ambushed twice in quick succession by civilian parties operating close together. One of the constables was wounded and two captured. The remaining con- stables secured military reinforce- ments, who pursued the ambushers toward the mountains. An official report on the affray al- leges that the civilians thereupon murdered the two prisoners. The military forces encircled miles of the country and fought the ambushers, a number of whom were seen to fall in the bog, and it is believed many of them were killed. The soldiers finally abandoned the pursuit. SNOW FOLLOWS HEAT. Idaho Has Drop From 92 Degrees to Wintry Conditions.

These men had familiarized themselves with the situation and were inside the building when the officers arrived. The raiders, who came in automobiles from Rockville shortly after 3 o'clock, deployed at the foot of the hill and approached the building from all sides. There was no chance for any | of the occupants to escape. Others Declared Interested. It was said last night that the Maryland authorities have the names of other persons alleged to have an interest in the club, and that other arrests are likely to grow out of the raid. { Paraphernalia seized, it was stated, included gambling devices of a wide variety. The club is alleged to have operated a booking business, having a wire service which cnabled it to post results immediately after the running of races. Dice and card games also are sald to have been operated. The club building has an aristocratic appearance. 1t is surrounded by at- tractive grounds and connected by a private roadway with Conduit road. Attention of the Maryland authorities had been drawn to the large num- ber of visits to the property by auto- mobilists. Also, many persons leiv- ing the Cabin John cars, near Glen Echo had been seen to enter the grounds. Persons living in the vicin- ity of the ciub are said ta have look- ed with suspicion upon these visits for a long time. The club was gen- erally understood to be operating under a Maryland charter.
