■ LONDON, April 10 • After the fight between Cook" and Beckett, which was won by Beckett, Cook said “I was beaten by a better man.” Beckett said “Cook is s a good clean fighter, but guilty of holding. 'I was slow owing to the result ■of 1 inlluenza. I have a great ambition to meet Carpentier.” The Daily Chronicle says it was a terribly poor exhibition, and a good hlSlil would have beaten either the contestants.. Neither had .any initiative; what one did, depended on what- the other did. The contest would not do credit to a suburban show.
