(riven Decision Over Gunboat
Smith .u Heavyweight Fight.
Confusion iteigned. “Highway
Robbery,’’ Says American's
Manager.
London.—Georges Carpentier, lie
French champion and only pugilist of
premier rank France ever has contrib
uted to the game, was awarded the
decision last night over Gunboat
Smith, the American fighter, on a foul
in the sixth round of the fastest
heavyweight fight Londoners have
seen in years.
The match between the two heavy
weights was fought at Olympia and
was scheduled to go twenty rounds.
To Smith the finish was a tragedy,
because the blow for which the Amer
ican was disqualified was neither
studied nor intentional. It was
launched in the heat of the whirl
wind fighting when the Frenchman
had slipped to his knees, and specta
tors saw the gaunt sailor recoil and
attempt to draw back almost as his
arm flew out.
Bad Feeling.
Nevertheless the ending of the
fight has kindled bad feeling and is
likely to be followed by long drawn
out arguments. There has been under
curret of prejudice against American
boxers among English ring followers
and. however, unintentional Gunboat
Smith s breach of the rules waß it
probably will be cited in support of
this prejudice.
Tlie popular judgment awarded Car
pentier the better of the fight on its
merits. He showed a fast left lead
an a powerful and equally swift
right. His footwork also was clever,
and although Smith was quick for a
big man he was noticeably slower
than his young opponent.
Confusion Reigned.
When the French contingent dra
matically carried Carpentier to his
corner in the sixth round, the utmost
confusion reigned.
The ring was crowded with excited
officials and seconds, and thousands
of spectators were on their feet sbout-

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY |B|
Whenerer
ing and groaning. In this round Car
pentier leinted with his left then
crossed his right to Smith's jaw.
The punch glanced off, and carried
by the force of his blow, Carpentier
swung around and slipped to his
knees.
Quickly Smith’s right shot forth.
He drew back and plainly would have
withheld the blow on the second
thought. Then he stepped back and
waited for tue Frenchman to rise.
Just what happened to Gunboat’s
right is likely to be a lasting cause
of controversy.
Disagree Widely.
Those nearest to the ring disagree
widely. Some say that it jolted Car
pentier's spine hard at the back of
the neck; some say it just grazed the
neck, and others say it missed en
tirely.
The house, from the aristocrats on
to the floor to the white chapel cos
ters in the galleries, was with tne
French champion. The English were
not anxious to see the man who had
knocked out their hope. Bombardier
Wells, in seventy seconds, bested by
an outsider.
In the first round It seemed as if
the American's superior strength
woudl tell, but through the next three
the Frenchman let himself out and
showed power behind his blows ap
parently equal to the American’s. He
landed a number of telling blows and
in the fourth sent Smith down with a
right to the kidneys.
Between 12,000 and 13,000 persons
witnessed the figfht, among them 500
women.
"Highway Robbery.”
James Buckley, Smith’s manager,
said after the fight:
“It was highway robbery. Smith
knocked Carpentier out with a right
on the point of the jaw. The
Frenchman went down and Smith, in
making another punch, could not pull
himself back and just hit Carpen
tier’s face.
“After the first two punches I saw
that we were going to get the worst
ofit. Corri, the referee, told Smith
to keep his hands up, although they
were up all the time. He wanted to
bother Smith. We have evidence that
this was intentional and that he want
ed Carpentier to win.”
