CHALLENGE TO BE SENT
TO CHAMPION DEMP8EY
Paris, Sept. 25.—George Carpentler,
the heavyweight champion boxer
Europe and Idol of France, was de
feated yesterday by Battling Slkl, the
Senegalese fighter, In the sixth round
of what was to have been a twenty
round bout.
Carpentler never had a chance after
the third round. He was barely able
to respond to the bell at the beginning
of tha sixth. With his right eye com'
pletely closed and his nose broken, he
was unable to put up a.guard.
In the sixth, the negro fighter plant
ed a series ot terrific rights to Car-
pentler’s head, and the French idol
crumpled to the floor. One of his legs
caught between tho legs of the Sene
galese while be was falling.
The crowd, the largest that ever wit
nessed a'boxing contest ln France,
sensed the end. All was— uproar.
Many persons lumped Into the ring
and carried the Senegalese on their
shoulders-to his corner.
The referee, Henry Bernstein,
first ruled that Slkl had been dls-
qualified for tripping, but the throng
which considered that Carpentler had
been beaten squarely by a better man
received* the decision with a great
chorus of Jeers and then threatened
the reforoe with bodily harm. The
three judges of the fight, Victor Brey-
cr, Jean Pujol, Frenchmen, and Mr,
Bennlson of London, went Into consul
tation. An hour later they declared
the negro the winner. Their verdict
was received with terrific cheering
from the spectators who had remained
In the arena for it, many of them ln fin
