MY FIGHTING LIFE —By— GEORGES CARPENTIER Ring History in Europe As Centered About Challenger of Dempsey. CHAMPION OF THE WHITE RACE Chapter XXX By GEORGES CAF pyright 1920, by United Syndicate. All rights Reproduction prohibited The excitement of my greeting in London had effect on me. 1 prowled about my room like some wild animal after the crowd had thinned out and decided to go home. 1 was up until very late and when I did retire it was with difficulty that 1 could sleep. 1 rolled and tossed about my bed. I had visualized the glant Bombardier Wells as he looked on the occasion of our last meeting 1 beat him again, with every punch showing before my troubled eyes. (< reserv ): its that he had gained much of his fame through the of what he termed the “occipital punch,” a blow deliver- ed on the occipital bone behind the ear. He aso was very strong, a fact which would be bound to give him some advantage. I started aggressively as is my cus- tom and Simth began just as quickly to strike me low. He was warned by Referee Eugene Corri and begged my pardon, but when cautioned a sec- ond time only grunted and whispered me that I was soon to be flatten- was showing him then that I was far superior a boxer. I don't believe Smith was in the best of condition. I really think he thought he would find me a simple French- to ed out. 1 Carpentier and Bride Greeted by Crowds After Marriage Ceremony And now, Gunboat Smith, a huge American of a great reputation. Should I be able to beat him. It filled me with curious thoughts. Very little sleep I got that night. In fact it was not until about an hour before time for us to enter the ring that I again became my normal self. Then I became steady. My nerves stopped their jumping. My heart t at its normal rate of speed and my brain was as cool as ever. Descamps, nervous as usual, had allowed himself to become greatly wrought over my condition and was entirely too solici- tous regarding my condition before the fight. I laughed and poked fun at him for his many questions. The crowd that day at the Olympia! It was a sea of surging faces. I wonder that I did not bolt from the ring, so thunder-struck was I by what I saw, The sight shocked me, for I had not suspected so many persons could gather to witness our exhibition. But I turned my head and there, in the opposite corner sat Gunboat Smith It was my first look at him and my interest in him blotted the crowd from my mind, a very happy thing. The glant negro, Armstrong, who trained him, was at the of the American. My opponent was much larger than I expected to see him. He had a tremendous first, was all angle hugeand awkward. I was giving aws my pounds in weight and at the woment things looked rather black for me. I came near panic when I sized him up as I ever did in my life, but I quickly gripped myself when Descamps began showing signs of concern and I did myself quickly. I confided to Descamps that 1 did not like the appearance of antagonist, but he forced a smil “Nonsense, orges. Half a dozen rounds and victory will be yours.” I lost whatever concern I may have felt before the first round was over, for I found that Smith was slow and awkward. I wondered what had taken him so far in America, but recalled side steady man, easy to defeat, for at the end of the third round Descamps urged me to try in the fourth for a knockout and I entered that round fully determined to follow his instructions. Watching my chance I feinted with my left and sent my right crashing to Smith's chin. Down he went on his chin. Corri, who, I believe, had a person- al interest in this ficht, began a slow count. His arm actually rose and fell eleven times before the bell rang. The pictures show it. The time- keeper told me afterward that Smith really spent thirteen seconds on the floor. That I should have had the victory by a knockout I have no doubt. When the bell rang I danced to my corner, for I thought it w the bell signalizing my victory. Im- agine then my disappointment when I found that I must continue the com- bat. Smith recovered sufficiently to come back at me in the fifth, fight- ing pluckily, but I was at all times his master and only played with him In the sixth came the end. Miss- ing a heavy swing with my right I plunged past Smith and fell to my knees., Smith had been looking for an opportunity to quit the fight, it seemed to me, so I intuitively knew something was about happen. I turned my head quickly to watch him. What I saw forever condemned him in my eyes sportmanlike fighter. His first was raised and he was in the very act of striking me. I attempt- ed to go down with the blow, but was too late. His first landed with crushing power on the back of my head. My was driven to the floor with su force that my nose was smashed. to face h Corri Smith. immediately disqualified Thehouse was in an uproar. Smith and his followers stoutly main- tained that if a foul blow had been struck it was unintentional and at any rate very light, but I can assure you that the blow he delivered had a very wicked power in it.

Sadler, manager of the Nutmeg al- leys in that city will complete his schedule. According to Secretary Charlie Mahoney's lineup, it remaius for Eddie Anderson of this city, to wel- come Brother Sadler into the tourney, and the said welcome party will be held this evening on the Nutmeg lanes in the Park City. The same bowlers will lash in this city tomorrow evening at Recreation alley Foote Versus Howard. Joe Foote, the Casino alleys’ repre- sentative draws Percy Howard of Meri- den as his opponent for the coming week. The popular Joey will journey to the quiet little city down state on Thursday evening, and it is to be hoped that the pin toppling of the local star will not arouse peacable residents of the near-unconscious burg. Percy will be in our midst on Friday night when Rogers’ he tackles Foote at the Casino lanes. Andy Jumps Spalding. Eddie Anderson, by his stellar work of the past few weeks, has managed to pass Jack Spalding in the race for in- dividual honors in the league. Recent statistics compiled show the local boy to have an average of 110. He is sec- ond to McCarthy, who is a scant point ahead. Another good week for Andy will mean his step into the charmed circle in the league standing. He is now in eighth position, and only a few games outside a position that will bring him within the money at the close of the season. Charlie Mahoney" the league follow: Standing of Contestants W.
