I do not wish to deny that I was under great emotion when I entered the ring as I saw about me great multitudes of American people, and when 1 heard their ovation I thought they were all French. wisH to extend all my thanks to the American people, and especially to the press, for the man- in which I have been treated, and I now drink a toast to the health of Jack Dempsey." Before entering the ring Saturday Carpentier told his manager that-if he could not win he desired to “go down with colors flying,” M. Descamps said. “We talked it over, and Carpentier said there should be no spopge: he said to let the loser go down with a blow on the jaw.” T T 10 ACT Reform Bureau Is Expected to Take Definite Steps Looking to Arrests Today.
