h a PRES EREGRGRSES o23 ' © * SEATTLE | Verdicts Handed Out by English Referees Have Been Queer Decisions Strange Odor to Wilde’s Wins Over Moore and Lynch; Carpentier’s Win Over Gunboat Smith Also Had a Mysterious Aroma ; BY H. C. HAMILTON United Press Staff Correspondent, NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—If Jack Dempsey agrees to go to London to fight Joe Beckett or Georges Carpentier, he will be flying in the face of fate and past history of American boxers. . The American fight follower is jealous of his country’s ‘reputation as a producer of champions and will howl loud and long if Dempsey allows himself to be lured abroad before defending his title in this country. It seems improbable that Jack Kearns, who has showed g0 much astute business sense in guiding Dempsey to the world’s championship, will now walk blindly into the pit- fall where so many Americans have fallen. ‘The average American sports fol-) Jower takes defeat with victory artd generally shuts up about it. He ts pot the kind who cries over a loss, Dut he is unable just now to erase from his memory the defeat of ‘Willie Ritchie by Freddie Welsh, the defeat of Joe Lynch by Jimmy Wilde, the victory of Wilde over Pal Moore, and the feat of Georges in winning from Gunboat Smith, although he had been knock- @4 out to all intents and purposes by the American heavyweight.
