LEGITIMATE §o Says Referee Who Officiated in Last Night's Bont London, May 12.—(By the Asso- clated Press)—The blow with which Georges Carpentier knocked out Ted (Kid' Lewis in the first round of their champlonship bout here last night was legitimate in the judgement of the so-called experts who report the fight. Cries of ‘“foul” came from all parts of the Olympia auditorium when the decisive blow was struck. Joe Palmer the referee, is quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saying “The blow was perfectly fair. The men had broken from a clinch and it was Lewlis’ business to protect him- self. This he failed to do.” Lewis Not Cautious It was asserted by some newspaper writers that Lewis had several times delivered blows on previous breakaways though they did not get home, and his failure to guard himself in the final break is decldred an amazing blunder which was in deflance of the elements of boxing. One or two of the commentators however while conceding that Carpen- tier by the strict letter of the rules was enfitled to act as he did, complain that his conduct lacked regard for the spirit of the regulations which the Frenchman has invariably displayed of the it offended the sense of every xnmi‘um that Carpentier finding he was|The champlon's body was reddened sportsman who witnessed it. g pullin cach refust referec's orders to break," he writes, | “It was only worthy of street (ll,'ht-[‘mzmg his handieap in weight ar | resolved to rely on infighting in which | display, | hd seemed supernor.

The New Departure team will tackle the Ware, Mass., club at Muzzy Field next Sunday afternoon. “Young Leonard” the Wallingford boy who was scheduled to hox George Bcarlet at Meriden tombrrow night, has, according to reports from his home town, trained during the past few days, by licking some men at- tached to a carnival playing there. Frank J. McConn of the K. of C. athletic committee announced today that negotiations have been completed for the use of St. Mary's playgrounds during the coming season. Steps will be taken to put the grounds in shape, and it is expected that the diamond will be in readiness to open the season on May 21. An important meeting of the Kaceys athletic committee and the candidates for the team will be held at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening at the Franklin Square home. All candidates are requestcd to be on hand. The Cardinals defeated Wynn's Stars yesterday, by a score of 32 to 7. The members of the winning aggre- gation are as follows: Wilson, Whit- man, Hinchey, Ross, Cullum, Berti, Hannonn, Perry and Rubon. The triumphant march of the Yale baseball team was halted yesterday by the Penn State nine at New Haven. Hugo Bezdek's charges romped off with a 7 to 4 victory. The Harvard crew has delayed the departure to the Red Top training quarters until June 11. The decisive victory scored by Georges Carpentler over Ted (Kid) Lewis at London last night, indicates that the Frenchman has entirely re- covered from the lacing Jack Demp- sey administered him last summer. It is probable that Carpentier will be back in “God's Country” before long, seeking an opponent. A bout with Harry Greb would be an attractive one. As far as eGorges meeting Demp- sey, it sounds foolish. Walvers have been asked on Fagd Luderus, Ferdie Schupp and Slim Salee, by Manager Brennahan of the Toledo club of the American Associa- tion. A few years ago, these same players were regarded as among the best in the National league. Willlam A. Meikleham of New York has been selected as the referee for the Yale-Harvard boat race. Mr. Meikleham has officiated in a similar capacity in the big,event on the Thames river since 1891. Bill Kopt started a triple play for the Braves yesterday in the game against the Reds at Cincinnati. The Ohjo team won the contest 9 to 5. Matchmaker Kramer of Meriden found it impossible to secure Earl Baird or Charley Beecher to meet “Kid" Kaplan tomorrow night, But he did manage to get Johnny Lissee, one of Scotty Monteith's boys, and the card will go on. On a wager that he could not play 90 holes of golf in 12 hours, with an average of less than 85 strokes to 18 holes, Captain Robert ‘1. Wint- ringer of the Princeton golf team, yesterday completed an unusual feat. He played the required holes in less than 9 hours, and his average was 77 strokes. IIis scores for the holes were as follows: 80, 78, 77, 76 and 74. There is some talk of a match be- tween Jack Dempsey dnd Harry Wills, at Montreal on July 1. White and Spalding, the New Hav- en entrants in the Connecticut Duck- St. Louis, Mo.,, May 12—Japan fis rapidly adopting the, American sport |4, Sn of baseball ,according to Herbert H.|1:3 Hunter, former §t. Lauis National player, who has returned from his second year of baseball “‘misslonary” work in Japan, Where he coached the teams of Waseda and Koo Univers- ities at Tokio. Hunter says that Nipponese are eager to establish baseball as their national sport, and are making ef- forts to form a professional baseball league of six teams. The two lead- ing universities of the nation are sponsoring the movement. Prepare For Teams. The former Cardinal outfielder be- came interested in the work in 1920, when Prof. Isoo Abe of Waseda Uni- versity, known as the ‘“Father of Baseball” in Japan, asked him to come to Tokio and assist in coaching the teams. Hunter consented and now is preparing to take a team of National League stars for a tour of Japan next fall if he can obtain the approval of Judge Landis. He pictures the Japanese as apt students of baseball with a desire to learn all of its attendant “slang.” The Waseda University nine, which toured America two years ago, caught many of the expressions common to the players here and adopted them, he declared. In Japan, he continued, baseball coaching is done in the English lan- guage. Ci Enter Sport Gladly. “It is very amusing to hear the catcher encouraging his pitcher to ‘knock this bird off,” or advising one of his fellow players to ‘crown that old apple. They have thoroughly as- similated most of the expressions used by American players. “If baseball continues to advance with its present stride in Japan, I be- lieve that we will be playing an an- nual international series before long. The Japanese boys do not equal our major league stars in ability, but sev- eral members of the Waseda team could make good in the minor leagues.. “Interest in baseball increases every year and I find that the higher class of people are taking to it. However, boys from all classes play their own little corner lot games."” Manager Rickey of the Cardinals has agreed to give Hunter his un- conditional release so that he may spend the summer perfecting plans for the proposed fall tour of Japan.

For the fight as a fight, however nobody has praise. The Times critic says the contest was as bad as it could have been and must have ended in disqualifications if it had not termin- ated as it did. The Daily Chronicle expert describes it as a positive tra- vesty on boxing and says both partici- pants were equally guilty of tactics outside the legitimate.
