Cheers and Hisses

Fallen but still the idol of France is Georges Carpentier. At an American Legion benefit the crowded Crique de Paris rose to shout their greeting. The ovation lasted through his sparring match and until the dressing room had closed its door upon him. Battling Siki, who knocked out Carpentier for the world's light-heavyweight championship on September 24, entered the same ring amid hoots and hisses.
