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- fi ar. fi c * * •> _ JllPansDnnk~ ■- JlQhmaos Dri/ll- . u*ggglig jc //. r> • i - : w Jm» ■■ * '*§mr (ilnn/OMys Unnh A good— and keenly I g delicious.

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.” DR. C. L. WILLIAMS DEAD. Columbus, Ga.—Dr. Charles L.
