	"One of the most outrageous decisions ever given in Great Britain ended the 'Gunboat' Smith - Georges Carpentier worlds white heavyweight championship fight abruptly in the 6th round in the Olympia Stadium last night when the American was declared loser on a foul. Smith dropped Carpentier with a right on the jaw, then wheeled around ready to administer the finishing blow. Carpentier started to get up on his knees but he lost his balance and dropped again. Smith's second blow barely grazed his head. As the American stepped over Carpentier's prostrate form, one of the latter's seconds jumped in the ring, but referee Corri waved him back, presumably with the intention of allowing the bout to proceed. Carpentier's manager Francois Descamps, however, sent several of his assistants into the ring. They lifted the French fighter up and dragged him to his corner. Corri then disqualified Smith and left the ring. More than 15,000 sportsmen who occupied the auditorium were bewildered at Corri's act and pandemonium broke loose. Smith's manager, James Buckley, declared Carpentier had disqualified himself by reason of the entrance of his seconds in the ring and insisted the Frenchman had succeeded in triumphing by an artful French trick." -Hammond Lake County Times		"One of the most outrageous decisions ever given in Great Britain ended the 'Gunboat' Smith - Georges Carpentier worlds white heavyweight championship fight abruptly in the 6th round in the Olympia Stadium last night when the American was declared loser on a foul.
