own hands Beckett never had a chance of hitting the agile Frenchman whol landed blows with enormous strength whenever he felt inclined Amid absolute stillness most of the spectators could hear the terrific crack of the swing that put Beckett to sleep There was a roar of cheering as Carpentier assisted Beckett to his corner where the Englishman opened his astonished eyes and saw his opponent

for the United States in a few days He hopes to arrange for a championship match between Jack 200 0P0 began boxing when only 13 years of age This wasin 1907 when boxing was beginning to be popular in France He was both skillful and Aggressive and in 1909y scored nfany victories defeating among others Charles Ledour the French bantam weigni cnampion Carpentier took on weight quickly and two years later he was meeting and defeating men in the welterweight division The Frenchman scored his first sensational victory when he knocked out Jim Sullivan the English middleweight in two rounds at Monte Carlo in 1912 At Gheri the following year Carpentier after being knocked down twice by Bombardier Wells the English heavyweight knocked out the British representative in the fourth round The fact that a French lad 19 years old and only a middleweight had knocked out the cleverest English heavyweight seemed to some of the latters backers a fluke Carpentier dispelled this doubt however when he went over to London and knocked out Wells a second time ending the bout in the opening round Forty days afterward Carpentier fought Pat OKeefe the English middleweight champion and scored a knock out in the second round Joe Jeannette the American negro heavyweight defeated Carpentier early in 1914 but after that apd prior to the declaration of war between France and Germany the French champion won decisions from Kid Jackson and Gunboat Smith in each case winning on a foul A few hours after the Smith fight Carperjtier who was in England returned to France on the night boat in answer to his countrys call to arms and the following day was in uniform Duringlvis early ring career Car pentier grew rapidly from a bantamweight to a light heavyweight and beat the European champions in each class as he progressed He amassed a fortune variously estimated from to 500000 Most of this of directors Let me get this straight said Justice Greenbaum Ie or is not President Johnson a servant of the board of directors If he Is a servant of the board why do they not I dismiss him Jf they dont likje the way he manages thlngsT Why your honor replied Mr Tuttle Mr Johnson claims that he is elected

Becketts ability as a fighter I was a little bit leary of the result This was Jack Dempseys comment when Carpentiers victory was flashed to him The result was a surprise the worlds heavyweight champion said I I did not figure Carpentier to win that easily and neither did any one else I talked with The Frenchman i must be there with the goods Asked if be expected a chalnge from Carpentier Dempsey declared It was understood the winner of the fight was to challenge me And what will you do Ifs a little too soon to answer just now money he invested in coal mines near Lens where he was born and he lost everything there by the German invasion During the war Carpentier was conspicuously daring as an aviator He was frequently commended by his superior officers and among the many decorations

WINS WITH CUE In the pocket billiard match at the Grand Central last night Urban defeated Throckmorton 70 to 23 CHAMPIONS MUST FIGHT OFTEN OR FORFEIT UNDER PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL REGULATION New York Dec 4 Following the Carpentier Beckett contest in London tonight for the European heavyweight championship there was a meeting in the British capital according to private advices here of the leading representatives of American and European boxing bodies to consider a new set of ring regulations to supersede the Marquis of Queens berry rules which for decades have governed bouts in all parts of the world The meeting was attended by Paul Rousseau president of the French Federation of Boxing A Bettin son of the National Sporting Club Eugene Corri the famous referee Victor Breyer the French promoter and other prominent boxing authorities At the meeting a representative of the Army Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control of America and the International Sporting Club of New York submitted the draft of the new code to be known as the international boxing roles Private advices indicate that the new regulations found favor and probably will be adopted after some minor alterations as the rules of the international boxing federation for the control of the ring contests throughout the world The gist pf thefrule8 as submitted at the London conference is a8 follows The proposed weight classes will include Flyweight 112 pounds bantam weight 118 pounds featherweight 126 pounds lightweight 135 pounds welterweight 14T pounds ship and emblematic trophy middleweight 160 pounds heavyweight 175 pounds and over Under the new rules all weights will be made eight hours before the men enter the ring Future bouts will be Judged by two Judges and a referee who shall cast a vote but must agree with one or the other Judge or call the bout a draw The referee shall also count out a boxer who drops to the floor without being hit and in case such boxer goes down under such conditions after arising from a legitimate knockdown the count shalh begin from the point where he arose from such legitimate knockdown The judges decisions shall be based upon effectiveness odamage accomplished and where effectiveness is equal then aggressiveness shall count Among the fouls covered in the new rules is one that a boxer arising from tbe floor following a knockdown is fouled if struck before he is in defensive position As a further protection the 4 scorer of a knockdown must retire to the far corner of the ring after such knockdown and if he does not the count over his fallen opponent shall cease until he takes his proper position in such corner Among a long series of reconjmend atJons suggested for the combined cooperation of the boxing organizations of the world is one providing that the winner of an International championship must defend his title within one year after winning same and every six months thereafter against the best available opponent or rorreit ail right to such champlon This has been a rough year for the player of form in the world of athletics Jess Willard got his bump last July to the financial sorrow of the favorite backers Along came the Reds in Oetober and busted the White Sox wide open and a lot of bank rolls at the same time in another place where the favorite went down to defeat Case after case of the same thing came to light in the recent football season which ended with the recent upsets of the Army and Georgetown And last night the dope again ran just opposite from the way it was figured when Georges Carpentier knocked out Joe Beckett in less than two minutes of fighting By copper ing the favorites any one with the gambling instinct could have waxed wealthy the past year Carpentier who back in 1912 when he was supposed to be at his best lost to Billy Papke and Frank itlaus and two years later was easy for Joe Jeannette last nierht punched himself fynto a position where he is the logical man to meet Jack Dempsey Before another year runs Its course the Frenchman will be in the ring battling Willards conqueror for the heavyweight championship Then the dope ought to assert itself with Dempsey being returned an easy winner Becketyapparently was much overrated eJse he wouldnt have fallen such an early knockout victim to the Frenchman who aside Irom knock ing out Bombadier Wells a couple or times never put a really good big man down for the count And it takes some stretch of the Imagination to put Welis in the class with good fighters Al Palzer knocked Bombadier for a goal in three rounds when they met in New York back in 1912 and Gunboat Smith repeated the performance there in two rounds the following year Frank Moran knocked Wells out In ten rounds in London four years ago Dempsey shouldnt be worrying any over holding his title now that he knows the man he will have to meet will be Carpentier The Frenchman wont be facing a Beekett when he takes on Dempsey nor a Wells either Papke and Klaus good as they were when in their prime can not be spoken of in the same breath with Dempsey Carpentier lost to them both too be it remembered so Dempsey isnt going to lose any sleep
