BOXING.
DEMPSEY’S BLOWS.
LONDON, July 22
A message from Paris says that Carpentier has returned. Describing 'the fight, he declared that his one obsession was not to hold up his hands before a foreign crowd which had instructed Dempsej' under no circumstances to throw up the sponge. He planned to concentrate his efforts upon landing a short fight hook, and end the fight at the beginning of the second round. But Dempsey was a fighting machine. Each time he landed, it hurt. His blows were like a hammer, and delivered like leads from a catapult. Carpentier does not remember the third, round, which he fought with a sort of veil before his eyes.
