Meet 'GEORGES’ ROUT OF LEWIS . WAS FAIR, SAYS REFEREE BBy the Associated Press. L ONDON, May 12—An agreement for Georges Carpentier and Jack Dempsey to meet either in London or Paris before next May has been reached by Jack Kearns and Francois Descamps, Kearns told the Associated Press today. The two managers agreed to leave the pro- motion of the event to the parties offerin, Both Carpentier and Dempsey are to 3 meantime, but a defeat for either prior to the time set for the Dempsey- the best terms. . e free to meet other men in the $ Carpentier match would cancel the agreement. The blow to the jaw with which Georges Carpentier knocked out Ted (Kid) Lewis in the first round of their championship bout here last night was legitimate, in the judgment of the so-called experts who reported the fight. Cries of “foul” came from a&ll parts of the Olympia Auditorlum When the decisive blow was struck. Joe Palmer, the referee, is quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saylng: “The blow, was perfectly fair. The men had broken from a clinch and it was Lewis' business to protect him- ®elf. This he failed to do.” Tt is asserted by some of the news- paper writers that Lewis had several dellvered blows on previous break- aways, though they did not land, and his fallure to guard himself in the final break is declared an amazing | blunder which disregarded the ele- mentals of boxing. One or two of the reporters, while conceding that Carpentier by the strict letter of the rules was entitled to act as he did, complain that his conduct lacked regard for the spirit of the regulations which the French- ' man has invariably displayed in his previous fights. }_ While agreeing that he was rightly roclaimed winner, they predict that he legitimacy of a knockout during break-away will be long debated, end that Lewls' supporters are likely o reassert that the blow was a foul. iwspecially as they can argue that Lewis was at the moment listening “to the referee's warnings. No Praise for Fight. | For the fight as a fight, however, Mobody has praise. The Times' critle ~d gays the contest was as bad as It [ could have been, and must have end- ®d In disqualification if it had not ended as it did. The Daily Chronicle { expert describes it as a positive ravesty on boxing and says both participants were equally guilty of f3llegitimate tactics. . The Daily Telegraph's correspond- ient declares he never wants to see {@nything like it again, and says it joffended the senses of every good Bportsman who witnessed it. “The men were locked in holds, pulling and_tugging and clinging to each other like men possessed, both Yefusing repeatedly to obey the reoferee’s orders to break.” he writes. It as only worthy of street fight- ng. For this unsatisfactory display some critics hold Lewis responsible, saying that when the champlon tried to pull away, Lewis held on and hit and that Carpentier, finding he was ‘being punished under what was ap- parently some new sort of rule, iseemed to make up his mind to do the same. Another view 1s that Lewls, recog- Yizing his handicap in weight and Bize, resolved to rely on in-fighting, n which he seemed superior in the ‘brief melee. Carpentler, according to Sporting ife, had an unhappy time of it until ewis' unwayiness gave him his op- portunity. The champlon's body was reddened all over where Lewis’ blows had landed. and he was obviously worrled. The writer believes that if Lewis had not made his fatal mis- take he would have given Carpentier deal of trouble. WILLARD NOT SEEKING BATTLE WITH DEMPSEY LOS ANGELES, Calif,, May 12— Jens Willard, heavyweight boxer, mentioned in recent dispatches an a possible opponent for Jack Dempaey, is not seeking a return match with the world champion, nccording to a statement attribu ed to Willard today by a local newnpaper. ‘Willard, who won the champlon- ship from JuckJohuson and lost it to Dempsey, arrived here some time yesterday, but secluded him- melf. The newspaper story quotes Willard as having sald that his pri- vate business was keeping him on the jump and that he did not have time to give the ring game nerious thought. BRITTON IS NOT SIGNED FOR GO WITH LEONARD TULSA, Okla, May 12.—Jack Brit- ton Is willing to risk the welter- weight_champlonship in a bout with Benny Leonard, the lightwelght king, in New York, but his western pro- gram, already mapped out, will not permit such & bout befors June 19, according_to a statement by Danny Morgan, Britton's manager, here to- day. Telegraphic reports from New York that Britton and Leonard have been signed for a bout June 1, are premature, Morgan sald. Leonard may have been signed, the manager sald, but the welterweight champion’s ~ slgnature has na* been attached to any such contract Wuoe Britton is perfectly willlng to tackle Leonard again he would not do so without what he considered ample time to prepare, Morgan de- clared. Buff Is Recuperating. NEW YORK, May 12.—Johnny Buff, bantamwelight champlion of the world, has gone to Lakewood, N. J, to recuperate after an operation for gland trouble.

HE harbor precinct of the Metropolitan police force has had a great deal of trouble in the past with anglers who frequent the waters of the Potomac river below the Highway bridge. Few, if any, of these followers of fishing seemed to know just how far the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia police extended. For their information the fol- lowing facts today were obtained from Sergt. Mundie of the harbor precinct : police extends on a water mark at Gravelly 14int. Jurisdiction. the execution of their dutles. the above facts are well worl Of course, the majority of fishermen know that, facing upstream, red buoys always are placed on the right-hand side of any stream and that black buoys are placed on the left-hand side. ‘To be more explicit, when a vessel en- ters any river—the law 18 internattional— the navigator always looks on the star- board side for red buoys and to port for the black. At the junction of channels there always s placed a red and black buoy. One of the best fishing places for rockfish, if not the best, in the District of Columbia Is close by. the Speedway, and named after the late Ma). Gen. Peter C. Hains, there is Washington and Georgetown channels, The next buoy marking the George- town channel, on the District side, is a red one. Looking south is a black buoy marking the channel on the Virginia shore. On a direct line with these two buoys, south, and about fifty yards be- low the wharf of the steel plant, in about ten or twelve feet of water, is & sand bottom with tall seaweed or grass, just a little distance in toward the Vir- ginia shore, off the channel. These are the best fishing grounds in local waters for rockfish. At least, that Is the oplnion of many who have fished there for many years past. The big rock lay in the grass and when they see some- thing attractive on the sand just out- side their resting place they rush out and grab it. Then the battle starts, for the fish immediately beat a retreat to the tall grass or weeds. Big catches of hardheads and a great many rock are being reported 1 from salt-water fishing grounds, With " “THE STANLEY SHOP Rebuilding Sale ‘Hundreds Are Saving Money! ¥ we want to im mind about this any former value.

HARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May 12—Athletes from all the big col- leges in the south Atlantic section are here to take part today in the preliminaries of the South Atlantic' Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s annual track and field championships. Squads from George- town and Virginia Polytechnic Institute came in late yesterday afterncon and representatives from George Washington, Maryland, Hopkins, Wash- ington and Lee, North Carolina, Virginia Military Institute, North Caro- C lina State College and Richmond Un Opinlon here is that the meet will be the best ever held under the juriss diction of the association, and that some of the fastest races ever known in the mouth will be run. Tt is felt that several records may o by the boards. Those who know the condi- tion of the Virginla track say it 18 in shape for brilllant running, and others familiar with the condition of the track and the capabilities of some of the competitors show no hesitancy in saying that records are bound to be lowered. Records Are in Danger. Five events in which it is thought that new marks may be set are the half mile, quarter mile, broad jump javelin, and shot-put. In the 880 Bo- hannon of Virginla is in the best con. dition of his career and Brewster of Georgetown also s in splendid ghape. It will be a surprise if one of these athletes falls to better the present mark. Ben Baker, Virginia's stellar quar- ter-mile runner. did 50 seconds for the quarter at the Pennsylvania re- lay games, and he 18 In high hopes of lowering the record for that event, which has stood Yor eight years. Connolly of Georgetown is going out to take a fall out of the mark for the mile, and Le Gendre, his teammate, I8 in such shape that there is not much doubt of his ability to breek the rec- ords for the javelin and broad jump if he performs at his beet. 1In both events in previous meets this spring he has surpassed the present records. In the shot-put Beers of Maryland has been reaching distances greater than the record set last spring by Sumners of Virginia Polytechnio In- stitute. Records in all these events may not be beaten, but undoubtedly, unless something unforeseen happens, some new figures will grace the record sheet of the South Atlantic Inter- colleglate Athletic Association when the final events tomorrow have been finished. _ Possibly in_tod pre- Real Values In Sporting Goods Louisville Slugger Bats...51.50 Reach League Balls. .$150 Wright & Ditson Tennis Steel Rods.
