Lewis Trying 7 Ted Shakes Up Georges Be- fore Sensational Ending of Bout in First Round. Poovey, Fad shaad York Evening World), reas Publishing Company. LONDON, May 12.—Georges Chr- pentier, heavyweight champion of Europe, ‘knocked out Ted (Kid) Lewis of England last night in the first round of a fight that was as sen- sational in its brevity as in the clr- cumstances in which it ended, after only 2 minutes and 15 seconds of con- fused boxing. ‘The referce lost control almost as soon as the opening gong sounded, for Lewis immediately waded into the Frenchman, who clincnea to ward off the body blows which Lewis attempt- ed to rain upon him. Lewis was able, nevertheless, to land two hard blows to the stomach and a right to the jaw which shook up Georges considerably. After some difficulty the referee neparated the men and cautioned Car- pentier for holding. Lewis again took the initiative and Carpentier once more tried to hold. As the referee made; them break away Lewis, tu show he was not guilty of holding, let his arms drop, and quick as a flash ‘arpentier sent over his famous ght and down went Lewis for the count Jey Harvey, manager of Lewis, 6 ores into the ring and protested vigorously against what most of the undience was shouting at the top of their lungs was a foul. For nearly ten minutes there was wild protest from ‘e thousands of spectators. When the din had died down, the decision was announced !n Carpen- tier’s favor, only to arouse the crowd's anger again. As Carpentier left the ring, his face was drawn and white und he quickly jumped over several of seats to make a short cut ut of the hall with hundreds of epec- Yators booing him and his manager, Ds. In:the two minutes of fighting Lewis appeared to have the better of it, Jnck Dempsey was an astounded onlooker, as were both the Duke of York and Prince George. The Duke of York invited Dempsey ke dipee to-morrow, but hearing t the champion was sailing on that aa expressed regret that he was en- gaged for all other days this week.

Indeed the protest came from the audience rather than from the boxing experts. A Spanish gentleman pres- ent, more familiar with bull- fighting than prize-fighting, volced the popular verdict when he sald: “It was a three-cornered fight between Carpentier, Lewis and the referee, The referee won." Lord Lonsdale contended that Carpentier had carefully studied his man, deliberately tempted him to infighting, out- pointed him at that and simp- ly knocked him out by superior mental and physical speed.

K. 0. PUNCH of the Olympia auditorium when the decisive blow was struck, and the writers go out of the way to prov: that the Frenchman used nothing but fair tactics, Joe Palmer, the referee, 1s quoted in the Daily Telegrapr as saying: “The blow was perfectly fair. The men had broken from a clinch and it was Lewis's business to protect him- self, This he failed to do.” It is asserted by some of the news- Paper writers that Lewis had him- self several times delivered blows on previous break aways, though they did not get home, and his tallure to guard himself In the final break ir declared an amazing blunder which contributed to his defeat. One or two of the commentators, however, while conceding that Carpen- tier by the strict letter of the rules was entitled to act 48 he’ did, ‘complain that his conduct lacked regan tor tHe spirit of the regulations* which” the; Frenchman has invartably ¢tsptayed tn his previous fights. While agreeing that he was rightly prociaimed! they prophesy that the legit a knockout during a breaka' be long debated, and that Lewis's porters are likely to adhere to% opinion that the blow was a foil especially as they Lewis was at the moment listening to the referee's admonitions. For the fight as u fight, howeyer, nobody has praise. The Times’ critic Says the contest was as bad as it could have been, and must have ended in disqualification if {t had not terminated as it did. The Daily Chronicle expert describes it as a positive travesty on boxing, and says both participants were equally guilty of tactics outside the legitimate. The Daily Telegraph's correspond- ent declares he never wants to see anything like it again, and says it of- fender the senses of every good sportsman who witnessed It. “The men were locked in holds, pulling and tugging, and clinging to each other like men possessed, refus- ing repeatedly to obey the referee's orders to break," he writes. “It was only worthy of street fighting.” _ CLINTON CREW READY FOR RACE DERBY, Conn., May 12—Severat of the Prep School crews which will vow in Yale's interscholastic regatta to-morrow were out on the Hoag: onic to-day.

The first of these was the two-horse affair between Crystal Ford and David Harum. With riders reversed the latter would probably have won. As it was, McCoy, a brand-new one on the public, didn’t know just what to do with David Harum after he got away from the post. Twice on the backsetretch he appeared about to run over the top of Crystal Ford, but the youngster was undecided whether or not to let the horse have his natural way, In the stretch when Crystal Ford looked about to “fold up,” McCoy tet: David Harum swerve under him. The other instance of tncompe- tence was in the last race, when the veteran Rore! was asleep at the post on Lally, the favorite. With anybody but the old timer on Lally the public would have got a ride for their money and the result of the race might have been different.
