NEW YORK. oct. 25.-If Jack
Dempsey and George Carpenter fight
in New DIRK this winter. it Will prob
ably take S5Oo,Qn TO swing the match,
basinS the estimate on Charles i.
C~ochran's appraisal of Carpenter. AS
one OF the promoters associated with
Tex Richard and William ~. Brady,
Cochran admits that CarptNtier would
be entitled to 5000. 900.
II think he's worth all OF that" said
the English promoter.
If the Frenchinan gets that guaran-
tee, Jack Dempsey certainly will want
as much and probably more. There's
the ."inctdcntalS" and promotion"
which include everything from "a
sheet posters and office stationery to
petty graft. which ism so very petty,
either, in a big fight.
