The hour.s i.i fore the battle Demp¬ sey •»i>cnt in rest. He was out early this morning, before half the towns¬ people in the Montgomery street fieighborhood had heard their alarm clocks. He did a little ..un along the cobblestone street, while a lone milk¬ man watched. Wnon he returned lo Ceneral Wm. Heppenheimor's home, he plunged into breakfast, and then decided to rest. Took Plenty of Sleep He goes about iestin;j in the same business manner. He retired to his room and lo quote Jack Kearna 'fell a«leep like a baby." All during the day. whon thousands swarmed about the mansion, he kept away from the windows. He remain¬ ed on the second floor and had al¬ most the entire house t<j himnelf. When awakened he took a light Jersey City, N. J., July 2.—Jack Dempsey, champion hea\'y-. weight of the world, knocked out Georges Carpentier, French challenger, in the fourth round of their bout here today. His dis¬ puted ability to take punishment was amply proved today. He took everything Carp had in the second round when Georges broke his thumb in that terrific swing to Dempsey's jaw. Ihe blow staggered the champion and put him on the way out. Carpentier later admitted he felt a !>harp stab of pain after that wallop "to Dempsey's iron jaw" and realized that his right hand was gone as an offensive weapon. Dempsi-y fought a char¬ acteristic fight, moving cautiously in the first, but jolting his adver- ! sary with short jabs. In the second round Carpentier had all the . best of it, once driving Jack to the ropes, groggy. The French- I man couldn't produce the necessay punch to lay the champion out. j I Jark wore his man down in ths third and put him "^'it oniv minute and sixteen seconds after the fourth round started.

Dempsey came prepared to] fight and evidently very much sei for such an attack, yet ho had heard .so' much of Carpentier's boxing ability he worried as to just the attack.

July 2 Out from his farm where ho was supposed to be suffering from tho effects gf his beating by Jack r»empsey. strolled Georges Parpentier this evening- an apparently unconoorned young man. He whistled gaily to his dog. Flip, through lips fhat were slightly thick¬ ened, gingerly picked up a pebble with a tightly bandaged right hand and chiickod it at a frisking chii>- r:uink. and surveyed the familiar landscape through an eyo as liltio as the evening sky. Georges was as cool and smiling a.s ever. l-.lke the "soldier hero" thoy called him at the ring today, he took his defeat to heart hut kept a smile on hi.>i lips. H»s friend.s at tho farm marvoller: at his coolness. He kept them all In good hiimor N'o early-to-bed- for f^'.tprgos Friends came in and dinner wasn't served until nino o'clock. A prominont physician from Olon ro\o. Dr. Joseph O. Connolly, was called to Carpentier's farm as soon as the Frenchman and his party re¬ turned. Dr. Connollv examined c.eorges' right hand and gave .Man¬ ager Descamps an affidavit, stating that Georges was .suffering from a fractured thiimb- Tho gallant Frenchman took his defeat gaily, but the terrific blows whicii Jack Demp."toy sapjiod his strength and beat him down had cost him his life's ambition. I'ntil half way through the second round. Geor¬ ges had maintained the confidence witb which he entered the ring- Then his right hand cracked on Dempsey's iron's jaw and from then on, a beat¬ en man who knew it. he merely fought to stave off the inevitable. In his dres^ing room, immediately after the flght, Georges said that de- sT>ile his injured hand, he believed Dempsey was a better man than himself. "He Is the greatest champion that ever fought." said Georges. Painfully PunisKsd The Frenchman was very wobbly for an hour after the flghl. His eye wa.s swelling from the blow which broke open his left cheek. His nose was badly swollen and the delicate bones were beaten out of place. Over | his heart, he bore the marks o; the two right handors which helped flii- Ish him while his skin over the kid¬ neys was a livid purple. After he had laid down for twenty minutes, with Gus WUsor minister- was wehbly on his le»B as ha tried to pull on his trousers. Tbem was no qii«stion aboat Qeor- fight in a dramatic fashion. their feet. Twice the Frenchman went down for the count of nine before pulling himself together in a courageous effort to carry on. The second time he stayed down tintil the conqueror lifted him in his arms and passed him on to weeping Francois Descamps. Carpentier's meineiger. It was the long sinewy right arm of the champion that finished the battle. It was the short punches of the left arm crashing into Georges" ribs that sapped the challenger's vitality and broke hi* heart. Dempsey seemed to be in a daze when the fight finished. Perhaps he refused to be fooled by the bell that failed him at Toledo. He stood over the postrate form of the Frenchman until the mad, wild yells of that immense crowd brought him to a realiza' tion of hisf victory. Jack Kearns, his hahr on end, his arms trembling and his jaws pounding a machine gun tattoo on a wad of chewing gum. rushed into the ring to tell his champ that he was still the world** greatest fighter. A Draniatic Finish Even in such a glorious victory, Dempsey did not forget. The fight over, the mzisk of savagery dropped from his face, his jawt relaxed, the snarl straightened from his mouth and the scowl left his forehead. He stopped and picked from the resin covered canvaa the form of the man that he had just walloped into a semi¬ coma. Dempsey smiled then. Tears came into his eyes. Perhaps the sensitve Dempsey that few know, the Dempsey that has b»?«n maligned, the Dempsey that was expecting the crowd to shower hisares on him as when he beat Bill Brennan last winter. It was a dramatic finish. Dempsey fairly snatched himself out of defeat. In the second round the crowd rose to its feet. Awe swept the immense human crammed bowl. TTie crowd thought the championship was changing hands. One of the smcishing rights upon which the Frenchman based his every hope to win landed flush on the champion's jaw. It rocked him. His eyes went glassy, his knees trembled, his arms sagged and he ran lo the ropes for support. Carpentier. scenting victory, was like a panther. He pounced on the Americ*,.' and gave him everything he had. Rights to the jaw. Lefts to the jaw. More rights and more lefts. Dempsey looked gone, but he used his feet and got out of danger. He shook his head and recovered. The Titfniig Point That was the turning point. Dempsey was winning when he looked gone. He leamed that he could take everything that the {Frenchman had. He found that the right of his opponent could not dent his jaw. The Frenchman at the aame moment learned, to his dismay, that he lacked the necessary thing to win. He lost heart from that •round and changed tactics. He tried to run away and extend the Rattle in the hope of wearing out the energy of the opponent who scorned his ptinches. Cap«ctty Oyer-sold Perhaps there have been larger crowds gathered at an athletic event in America, but they are not on record- Tex Rickard estimated the crowd at between 90,000 and 95.000 TTiere were seats for 91.000. 'The>' were all filled and hundreds were atanding. Carpentier surprised most of the experts by going out and trsring to slug with the champion. He retumed to his comer after ing to him and Descamps and his *!»« ft"* rotind ¦with a mouse under his eye, a cut on the nose, blood friends doing their beat to console trickling from the comers of his mouth. Big black and blue spots him. Georges felt ablo to dress and ihowed on his ribs and stomach where the champion had landed insisted upon doing .0 himself- He, ^^^ they did not convince the slant-eyed Descamps. who sponged tke Frenchman and doctored him—but did not wipe tbe gory smear from his face.
