JACK DEMPSEY 10 FIGHT TWO ME:N'IN
 CARPENTER BOUT
Manager of Carpenter is the Other Personality in the
 Ring

New York, Jan. ,10.-Apparen+lv Jack Dempsey vii have to fight two men when he meets Georges Carpan- tier for the worlds heavyweight championship, if the deductions of a London writer are correct. Accord- ing to this authority Descamps. man ager of Carpenter, possesses some sort of a mystic eye with which he cast a spell over Beckett in the re- cent battle in London with the result that the French pugiIist had an easy task in knocking out the befuddled Britisher.
 In the words of the discovered of this alleged dual combination which confronted poor Beckett durinp the 70 odd seconds he stood before Car pentier, the strange influence made it's effects felt as follows:
 "There were two personalities fipht- ing Joe Beckett from the moment he entered the ring. Carpenter was one. The other was Descamps. his manager. Descamps is q very eyc;t- able man. He is bundle of nerves typically French, overflowinp ner, sonality, whose individuality oozes from every pore. He does not effer- vesce. He exudes.
 "Descamps says that when Carpen- tier meets Jack Dempsey, Carpentier will win in six rounds. Watch Des- camps. He IS the man who is aiding Carpenter with all mental force. His mentality accompanies Carpenter in- to the ring every fight. He is his un- seen, silent partner, and to him as
 much as to Carpenter is Beckett in- debted for the blow on the jaw which finished the fight and took the cham plonship of Europe out of his reach
 W hat was Descamps doing as Beckett came into the ring? Those who were near him tell me he was watching Beckett intently. The fact is, he began to fight Beckett as soon as Beckett stepped into the ring Beckett was constantly glancing around at Carpenter as he was get ting his gloves adjusted. There you have the personality of nescamps be- ginning to work; impinging itself on Beckett's brain and beginning it's task of confusing the English boxers thoughts. Possibly Descamps is not quite conscious of his own power
 but 1t is there ali the same. This projection of personality is not hvp- no5ism, but it is to be seen operating everywhere.
 'Descamps, they say, feels every defeat of Carpenter as a defeat fol himself. II you took Descamps' mind to the analytical table you would find that he would make first-class med lum. lie is psychic subject. His personality stands besides Carpen- tier in every match, for he has train ed Carpenters mind as well as his i. body. Carpenter acts as Descamps i. wills. That is why Beckett made the
 mistake at Holborn Stadium. Car pentier alone he might have beaten Carpenter and Descamps were toe much for him."
 In the absence of a definite state. ment from the British Olympic Coun. ell on the subject of preparation fol the Olympic games at Antwerp this year an English writer has obtained the opinions of three distinct per sonallties on athletics generally anC the Olympic games in particular These three are Lieutenant-Colon Arnold, N. s. Jackson an English of hcer and well-known athlete; Sargent Linton Hewitt, soldier who, prior tc the war. had done much for athle tlcs in Australia and Charles B. Coch ran an English promoter of profes sional sports.
 All three believe, he says. that the International Olympic committee made great mistake in deciding tc hold games this year and thar it vii De impossible to reorganize the spor Tn sufficient measure to enable Grea Il Britain to be adequately represented at Antwerp. In order to save tho British prestige from the injury i' sustained at Stockholm it will be nee eessary to spare no effort in securing the best possible team and make { united attempt to improve the Brit lsn athletic standing.
 With this object in view, he writes All three agree that up to nov the attempts at organizing Olympic teams have been a failure, and tha to get the best of our goods on show
