The opening bout of the evening ~was stopped in the third round by Referee Clark. who declared Harry Peterson of Stamford the winner over EJohnny Mooney .also of this city. The main bout of the evening was a bummer from start to finish and kept the fans on their feet through- out. Both boys were fighting just as hard at the finish as they were in the first round. Clark had to warn LuiSy several times during the fight. for hit- ting while breaking out. of the clinch- es. Luby did most of the forcing sud this seemed to be the style of fight- ing that Muck liked.

The cries of the tens about the ring side. that there was one more round to go. attracted his attention and he called Osvanaugh. who had started to leave the ring. back to fight the final round. but Blanker's good showing in this round did not alter his decision.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) Now that Battling Siki has the shackles of! and is free to do some more fighting. the gorgeous Georges Carpentier. who had a lot of his flees knucked by the cave-man. has suddenly d .cided thatthe public isn't interested in the return bout that he has been yelling for. While Sikl was virtually caged up by the boxing authorities. Carpentier ran up and down in front of the bars barking like a terrier. delivering rights and lefts of wicked words. He called Siki everything and he couldn’t wait until nine months should pass so that he could sock Siki. Then it came to pass that Slkl was released after serving three months suspicion and when he came out of his cage. Carpentier suddenly lost his vo ce. The action of the Frenchman bring back an affair between a mule and s bulldog before the last Army-Yale football game. Two Yule students were on the field with s. most magnificent bulldog tow- ed along on s. leash. No Cadets mmhed by leading a gaunt old mule and the bulldog fairly went into con- vulsions of wrath. He stormed and fumed ,and sought desperately toget at the mule until—- His leash was removed. With nothing to keep him from his threat to tear the mule to pieces. he“ ceased his outburst and rather em- barrassed , and humiliated—like he crept around back of his keepers and flattened out on the turf. - e s 0 French boxing authorities declare that Carpentier is through. that he ought to admit it and retire. They l i l , F arrel’s Sport Comment base their opinion on the statements physicians that his hands are gone and that he never will be able to put an! force behind his blows. ‘If the Frenchman's hands are gone he is through, because no boxer call succeed without hands.
