Cor- bett said: “Carpentier was not beatcn by a better man. but by a bigger one.” And that the truth of the ancient ring adage that a good big man can beat a good little man was exempli- fied in this fight will be corroborated by those who witnessed the gallant struggle put up against great odds by thé smiling, blond visitor from across the sea. For his Bize Carpentier demonstrat- ed he was In every respect as great a battler as Dempsey, for although the officlal weights showed him to ; be handicapped by exactly sixteen pounds and at a corresponding dis- ! advantage in height and reach, he really was outscaled by nearly double that number of pounds in fighting weight. for much more than the av- erage allotment of a boxer's pound- age he carries below the waist, stripping above the belt line no bigger than the average middlewight. Then. too, the four yvears he spent in the uniform of his country in the grim, nerve-wracking business of war were a costly interruption to his ring activities, and the attainment of a maximum of boxing perfection, vet with all these handicaps he stood toe to toe, unflinchingly before Dempsey, the man-killer, and gave the most brutaly effective puncher the prize ring ever produced the most cyclonic contest of his career. .

Clean-cut and honest though it was, his was a rather hollow victory, judged by the pitifully meager a plause of the crowd which saw him achieve it. His winning probably was 1 popular than that which ever de- cided the heavyweight title between ' two white men. That the sympathies of the crowd should have been with his adversary, an alien come over here for the ex- press purpose of taking a great cham- | pionship to a forelgn country, must have been bitter to Dempsey. Also it is not easy to understand. o good reason ever has been found as a basis for the feeling of antipathy to the champion. He did not don a uniform when his country was at war. but that likewise is true of millions of men who had others besides themselves to consider. as did Dempsey, who was tne principal support of his parents and several brothers and sisters. There is no real justification for Americans not feeling proud of Jack Dempsey, the world champion, and it is to be sincerely trusted that the un- deserved stigma of which he is the victim will not endure.

The crowd was superb, the management was perfect, even the day was all that.could be desired. But as a fight between contenders for the championship of the world it was not quite what it should have been. There was only once when it looked as though the challenger had a change. . ‘arpentier Proves Gamenenss. When the finai blow was struck Carpentier flattened on the mat, one leg curled up in an effort to rise. He was _game. There can be no doubt place in the world where the news of Dempsey’s victory over Carpentier had not yet reached yesterday. It was Colombo, Ceylon. The Times of Colombo cabled New York asking that the result of the fight be trans- mitted to it at urgent rates. Georges, With Left Hand, | Hoists U.

Dempsey hung over him, watching first the referee and then the form of his prostrate antagonist. With the referee he car- ried the unconscious Frenchman to his corner. He hung there for a mo- ment, but did not display the elation one might have expected. Dempsey finally arose and extended his arms over his head in the characteristic gesture of victory. Even then his face was sober and grave. = It was a Dempsey victory. but. it can hardly have brought great hap- piness to the champion's heart. - An American crowd had openly wished for the defeat of its own man. Per- haps not in reality. It may be that the men who cheered Carpentier and maintained a sullen ‘silence when the westerner rose to his feet did not in their hearts wish to see him. defeat- ed, but Georges had been praised as a man who fought his country’s bat- tles and Jack had been pictured in patent leather shoes. The rebuke to the alleged slacker was definite, and during the fight, too, whenever the siender body of the Frenchman flashed across the ring in one of his hurricane attacks the look- ers-on cheered wildly. He was the favorite, though few thought he could win. The spectacle presented by the vast 4 : bowl was an impressive one. It seemed to be more like a deep valley in some harvest country. The simile was car- ried out by the brilliant colors worn by the women, which might well have been poppies in a fleld of wheat, and by the curious swaying of the crowd a8 sections of it rose and subsided as Bome new thing of interest was seen. Georges’ Smile Is Real. When the two men stood up to shake hands the disparity between them became striking.

He showed no irritability or nervoum::l and when he slapped Carpentier on the back after he vaulted into the ring his big white teeth flashed against the dusky background of his unshavenness. But when the crowd cheered Carpentier and paid him the slight attention of a mere rattle of handclapping his temper changed. From that moment Dempsey frown- ed. He sat sullen and quiet while the irrepressible Descamps, Carpentier's manager; bucked and .shouted abaut the enemy corner. Now and then he looked up,but when the fighting began he had a place for eyes and he glued them to the business of the afternoon, the defeat of hix rival, which he complished o get littie acelaim. with Bill Brennan or Tom Gibbons,” | This statement was made by Fran- | cols Descamps. the Frenchman’'s man- ger. “I'll admit, too,” added Demmps.} “that Jack Dempsey is the greatest; heavyweight who ever lived.

He had been instructed by Wilson and Des- camps to be wary and let Dempsey force the battle, but just before the opening bell he said to them: “The American people have been told that 1 was a game and courage- ous fighter. I must fight. Watch me!” Wren he came to his corner after the first round he told them that every one of Dempsey's blows had hurt. ‘Then keep away from him,” they they told him. Never. I must fight with every ounce of power within me.” he replied, 28 he rushed to the center of the ring. Realized He Had No Chance. During _the second round Carpentier said he hit Dempsey with three right hooks and three right uppercuts, and that all his power was behind them. “When he dldn't go down under those blows I knew I could not defeat him,” the Frenchman sald. “It was then a matter of going on and fight- ing, trusting to luck to escape his hardest punches. “When I went at him in the third I felt the pain in my right hand. and somehow I could not use it accurately i or with power. 1 got it in several times, but I could tell that it had little effect.

ECOND division berths are not considered so favorably in the American League, but they have to be occupied. and unless the Nationals can shake themselves out of the slump that has en- gulfed them recently, they will tumble out of the refined upper bracket into the despised section. That 12-to-4 nightmare at the Georgia avenue park yesterday was the fourth defeat for the McBride hirelings in their five-game series with the tail-end Athletics. Coming on the eve of the club’s departure for a long road trip it left the fans almost convinced that they had seen the last of the Nationals as a first-division outfit. Since their highly successful home stay last month the McBridemen | have been floundering helplessly.

Two were achieved 4t Philadelphia, one in New York and ihe other here. The Nationals now nust meet in order the Red Sox, Browns.

The clul, has been getting little in the way of pitching. with the exocep- tion of some flashes by Mogridge and Johnson. aml now the staff has been !reduced. ~ Acosta left Washington vesterday for Havana, Cuba. where his child is dangerously il. The Cuban twirler is not expected to return in time for the western swing. This means that the sunset sector will be invaded with a tired corps of pitchers, for the club {s expected to go through six games during its thrée-day stay in Boston. During the past ten days there has been little evidence of the heavy clouting that made the Nationuls so feared in the first two months of the campaign. The club was heiped for a time when Earl Smith replaced Frank Brower in right field, but soon after Bing Miller. slugger extrao dinary last year in the Southern Aj sociation, fell down badly in h batting. = This resulted in his wit drawal from the lin and th sending of the veteran Clyde Mil g left fleld. s nite Milan is a hard worker and can be’ depended upon to give iub every- " thing he has in the way of playing ability, but he lacks the speed of Mil- | ler on'the paths and the sureness of ., | ng. What does it profit ia club if a plaver permits the oppos & team to score as many runs as he drive in? The only ray of hope for a fairly1s successful road record lays in the = weakness of the western hurling staffs. In recent games pitchers of that section have been freely pound-, €d, and if the Nationals can return to anything like their former batting strength, they will make matters in-' teresting for some of the opposing’ aggregations.
