XVI. By Georges Carpentier, (Copyright 1920, Ly Unit Syndicate. All rights res Reproduction prohibited). Beckett faced me with his tucked down between his m shoulders. He looked fierce and strong. An instant opening for my left hand showed itself and I let fly. The blow went straight home to the nose. 1 felt the big frame quiver with the sting of the blow and was surprised. He brushed his nose with the back of his glove and snorted He came for me with a rush and I retreated until my back was against the ropes. Right and left hands reached for my body, but I was able to parry so effectively that my elbows received chin ive consumed from the clang of the beli to the last of the count which put Beckett out of the fight.

The noise was less, perhaps the crowd was less, but the peopl who followed me to my hotel k- up a constant request for this or tha thing before they would allow me to stop autographing photographs, writ- ing my name in books. I had plenty to think of after this bout. My marriage was impending and I planned to go to America. Descamps, jubilant, could think of nothing but the land across the water, Carpentier and Francois Descamps’ Then Beckett me. “Break” commanded Referee Angle. Beckett shuffled back and then drove a left uppercut at me which failed to reach its mark Beckett was off balance immedi- ately, and I shot my left hand into his eye. The blow shook him and left him perplexed. His hands were down and his big, square chin, lay just under his shoulder, with his eyes glitter'ng at me from the shel- ter of his arm. I believed I saw the opening for my right and like a flash, I ralsed mysclf on my toes and let g0 my right arm with every ounce of strength I could muster The blow caught Beckett squarely on the point. As he fell my left swooped ‘o the same place in an up- percut, but I doubt if the blow was needed. I mever hit any one so hard and so surely in the correct spot. 1 stood ching while the time- keeper tolled off the seconds and when the le ten was finished 1 helped Beckett to his corner.

Notes from women fell about my feet. “Vive Carpentier,” they shouted You think I had just returned from conquering a nation instead of a man It was all very wonderful. My coun- trymen were overjoyed to think their mpion had again proved his su- periority. Then came the preparation for the trip to America. Everything else was put behind, except, of course, my marris to Georgette Lasasser, a beautiful girl I had met while in the army. We were wed just before embarking for America, on which trip she, of course, accompanied me. We have been supremely happy. America has been very good to us. We were greeted by batteries of cam- eras. We have lived in a sumptuous hotel in New Youk. We have been treated with the utmost considera- tion at all points.
