fellow cOuntryman is the marvel some
reports from across the pond would
make him out. Wilde let it be known
that Beckett is only an ordinary
scrapper.
Early reports indicate that the four
thousand seats in Holborn stadium,
where the fight is to be held, have
been sold. Prices are reported to
have ranged from $3.50 to $100.
Eglish fans, who think Beckett is
second to none, probably will send the
champion into the ring a favorite.
Odds should not go begging, however,
as the Frenchman has a big follow
ing.
More than the ordinary interest is
attached to the fight in America,
and the winner will be matched with
Jack Dempsey, for a worlds cham
pionship fight. In fact, it seems
highly probable that Dempsey will
make it his first fight as the worlds
champion.
Beckett has been doing his training
in Southampton and Carpenter has
been working out in PARIS. He will
put the final touches in his training
in London before the fight.
