A 2 Carpentier Is Silent. " § Carpentier would make no reply to | ith’s offer to fight again, saying e matter was: one for the considera- n of his manager, who-had not had e. yet to take the matter up. { Smith today asserted that he never 1d" fight again before a cinemato- ph. He sald his eyes were weak id he had to. wear glasses in the light. Last'night the glare of the hts puzzled him and he thought this bly had something to do with his king ‘Carpentier while the French- n was down. Smith insisted that even if his glove | @ouched Carpentier it was uninten- Jional .and.the blow. did not. hurt his ponent. Any other boxer, he sald, ould “hwve continued to fight.

Deschamps, the Krench- fan's manager, Buckley points out, regarded this ° arrangement and ped into the ring immediately When he saw there was a chance of nning the bout on a technicality. #4The boxing experts of the evening declared _ he | newspapers today are as divided !r? opinion in respect to the faree of the foul blow given by Smith as were these of the morning newspapers. ‘Men with actual ring experience, such az Fred Welsh, the lightweight cham- pion, however, say that Carpentier was not’hurt'and that the scene which followed the foul blow was the result of quick simultaneous working of the braina of Carpentier and his seconds. Only Thing Possible. Bugene Corri, the referee, it is ad- mitted by all, did the only thing pos- | sible after Deschamps had claimed a foul. A 4 In their editorial comments on the match all the newspapers declare that it was clear Smith did not make any intentional attempt to strike a foul blow. Not Slightest Difficulty, “If ‘Gunboat’ Smith wants a Teturn match right away he is not going to encounter the , alightest diffioulty,” sald Carpentier's manager later 1n"the ¥ aay. “It is Carpentler’s wish, as it {s. mine, that the white champion of the world should retain the champjonship not by.a mere fluke or disqualifica- tion, but by right of superiority in boxing,"” he continued. Early Return Match. ‘Both sides thus far have put them- selves on record as desiring an early return’‘match, and the only bar to such a meeting appears to be the ar- rangement of a suitable purs Deschamps, commenting on what he termed the disappointing end of yes- terday’s fight, said both he and Car- pentier were dissatisfled with the re- sult. He added: ‘Wanted Fight to Proceed. “Carpentier personally wanted the fight to proceed, but I thought the blow he received from Smith while he was down wduld have proved .det- rimental had the fight gone on, It knocked all the brilliancy out of the French boy. “Carpentier is quite ready and in- deed anxious to meet Smith again. He regrets he was not allowed to‘win the championship on a clean, straight- forward knockout, for he had Smith beaten almgst from the outset. .Car- pentier is very sorry his oppenent gave him a foul blow that put an end to the' match., Had ‘the referee al- lowed the fight to go on the French boy was absdlutely certain of vic- tory.’ Music Hall Engagements. ‘When -he ‘was pinned ‘down as to what he meant by “a return match right away,” Carpentier's manager explained that the French boxer would be able to fight:8Smith again only after he had fulfilled his music hall engagements. He: continued:. “These will keep Carpentier busy un- 'til - September, but: he is more than willing- to arrange a.date in- Decem- ber or January on condition that a side bet of $20,000 each is posted.” Deschamps said he was willing to accept Smith’'s suggestion' that the winner of the bout take the whole purse and the gate money. | 7\ iNo} Playing to Gallery. ' Smith, who has no-theatrical en- .gagements,.in reply,.said I am not going to DpIAy " to 'the" gallery.” The Wesleyan conference at Leeds today passed..a resolution strongly condemning the Tecrudescence of pugilism and especially the presence of women at boxing matches. It urged all Christians to discountenance .these ‘‘demoralizing exhibitions.” $15,000¢ for Carpentier. The stakes for last night's match were paid today, Carpentier personal- ly receiving a check for $15,000 while Buckley received $10,000 on behalf of Smith who was not present. Buckley took the check without demur. He made no formal protest against the decision but wanted to discuss the fairness of Eugene Corri’s ruling. He displayed deep annoy- ance and refused to shake hands with Corri. May Meet Wells. The chairman of the gathering de- clined to permit any discussion. For the first time Deschamps re- vealed today that he had promised to match Carpentier against Wells if the Frenchman proved successful in yesterday’s match. When this match is over, he added, Carpentier would meet Smith. Dick’ Burge offers a purse for another fight. Show Real Sportsmanship. ‘While Buckley was endeavoring at today’'s meeting to discuss . Corri’s ruling the chairman said: “In this country when a decision is given by a referee it is accepted in a sportsmanlike way.” GUILTY OF MURDER. Jury.

Puerto Mexico, July 17.—General Huerta on his leisurely journey from Mexico City to this port passed the night at. Tierra Blanca, in the -state of Vera Cruz, the center of a district overrun by small bands of revolu- tionists, who have boasted that they will never let the departing former dictator reach the coast. Under the best conditions, Huerta could not arrive here before noon, and it was thought unlikely by his waiting family that he would be in Puerto -Mexico before late in the af- ternoon. Troops Guard Trains, It was 6 o'clock this morning when Huerta departed from Tierra Blanca, his train being preceded and followed by troop trains. No oraers were given to the engineers-to attempt to make up the lost time. A General Huerta's failure to hasten his exit from the country was the cause of some worry ' to -his wife, while 8enora Blanquet, whose hus- band, former minister of war, is with his old chief, was frightened into hys- terics by the delay. Reports from various points along the line :gave no reason to believe that any unpleasant incident has occurred. Destination of Huerta, Jamaica is frequently mentioned aboard the foreign ships as the des- tinatfon of General Huerta, although all admitted that the tinal cholce of a place of refuge lay with the over- thrown., provisional president, who will 'arrive here today. Huerta is .aid to have.mentioned that port to a few of His frlends as the one to which he would 8o should hé ever leave the country. He would have no difficulty in transferring there to some trans- Atlantic steamer without attrac- ing attention as he would in Havana.

The older women were given the best quarters on the ship, but it was impossible to provide 2'l with rooms and recourse was had to cots placed on the awning sheltered decks. The children and ybung women of ‘the party, used as they were to the comforts and luxuries of wealthy homes, caught some of the spirit of eamping out, and the laugh- ter that reached shore until late at night evidenced the fact that they are not now greatly perturbed by thelr plight. With the dawn, however, the women appeared fatigued and de- pressed, Chagrin Was Undisguised. Not until early today did the news reach the men who led the Huerta exodus that Francisco Carbajal, to whom Huerta turned over the pro- visional presidency, had virtually asked General Carranza to come to the capital. Their chagrin was un- disguised, but none expressed sur- prise except at what they termed Carbajal's precipitate action. Most thought, to quote the expression of ane of them, that '‘He should have waited until Huerta was out of the country at least.” Heavy Fighting Reported. On Board U. S. 8.

This declaration cleared up the situation, and there was no more talk of the rebels joining with Huerta.
