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 goes up as Dempsey brings the { first blood, with a glancing lick on the side of his opponent’s nose; It in- creases as the Frenchman is shoved half through the ropes. The first round is Dempsey's all the way. He has flung Carpentier aside with thrusts of his shoulders. He has 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 a volley of terrific_rignthanded clouts which fall with such speed you do not see them.

His admirers shriek to him to put Dempsey out. Y mind, the second round is 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 aptitude 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 Most of his blows go astray. v over Dempsey’s hunched shoul- ders, they spend themselves in the alr.

I see a quick flasking of nakec bodles writhing in and out, joining and separating. I hear the ‘flop, fiop, flop of leather bruising human flesh. Carpentier is almost spent—that much is plain to every one. A great spasmodic sound —part gasp of anticipation, part eroan of dismay, part outcry of ex: havstion—arises from nearly a hun- {dred thousand throats.

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- knowledge it. At nine he is 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.

He folds up 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 fateful sum of simple addition as far as “six.” My gaze shifts to Dempsey. He kas 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 pos 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 lips lift in a snarl until all his teeth show. Whether this be a token of contempt for the ho!ll!e majority in the crowd, or merely his way of expressing to himself his sat- isfaction, Is not for me to say. Dead Slence 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- spiit rain. The snowy white horison- 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, nmey," but scarcely is one cognizant of the referee's presence or of -his arithmetic either. 1 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 down like a sema- phore and chants out “ten. The rest is a muddlel un(} 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 dragging 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. s Never Had a Chance. As T 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 mself 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 frigh! ened, hurt boy, and yet striving to heave himself up and tak® added punishment from a foe against whom he 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. t, 1 the Central Copyrigh 'n'"uu. 1 Press Asso- % 2 Sy AT FULL D OF THE COUNT.

NEW YORK, July 2—Gross gate receipts of more than one million six hundred thousand dollars for the Dempsey-Carpentier fight in Jersey City this afternoon were announced by Tex Rickard tonight. 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, NGTH AND THE VICTOR STANDING IN THE CORNER, AWAITI) ENTERING By the Associated Press.

The crowds, absolutely dumfound- ed, refused to belleve the first bulle- tin telling of Carpentier being knucked out. The Associated Press flash was the first to reach Paris.

Hundreds of thousands of persons were standing before bulletin boards on the boulevard. “It can’t be true.” sald many of them when the knockout was announced, but the succeeding flashes from Jersey City séon con- vinced the Parigians of the downfall of their hero. Paris became saddened and depressed; men, women and chil- dren stood in silence while they read how Carpentier was completely out- classed and outfought. Six big army airplanes speedily ap- peared over the Place de la Concorde and the boulevards, displaying large white lights as a signal of defeat. President Millerand and his family at Elysee Palace received a series of bulleting, sent by the wireless station at the Premier Briand and the other minis ters heard the news at their offices Americans Wild With Joy.

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 Pprisoners. 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.

Others said they had “dropped in” for a game of pool and did not know it to be a gambling place. Judge Viett released most of the witnesses on their personal bonds for $500. The quesetion of requiring bail of the others was still under con- sideration late last night. July 14 was set as the date for the trial. The raid had been planned care- fully, and apparently took the occu- pants of the clubhouse by surprise. It was led by Col. E. Austin Baugh- man, commissioner of motor vehicles of Maryland; Thomas L. Dawson of Rockville, state’s attorney; Sherift George E. Nicholson of Montgomery county and Capt. R. H. Williams of the state constabulary. For more than a week two mem= bers of the constabulary in plain clothes have been patronizing the club, it was said last night. 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 enabled it to post results immediately after the running of races. Dice and card games also are said 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- mobil Also, many persons lev- ing the Cabin John cars, near Glen Echo had been scen to enter the grounds. Persons living in the vicin- ity of the club 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. a1 L C. Kolb, Planned.
