CARPENTIER'S INJURY.
BROKEN THUMB AND SPRAIN. NEW YORK, July 4. A surgeon has discovered a compound fracture of Carpe'ntier's right thumb and a sprain of the hand, -which are sufficient to render tho hand useless. The injuries were caused in the second round, when • Carpentier smashed Dempsey with his right hand. The newspapers give credit to Carpentier for his gameness, but insist that it .was a case of the best big man against the best small man. Carpentier could not overcome the handicap of weight, height, and superior strength.—(A. and N.Z. and Keuter.)
