THINKS PRIZE FIGHT
MUST co ABROAD

Los Angeles, Jan. 12.-Jack
Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey,
sees little chance for holding the
Dempsey Carpenter fight at Tia
juana, Mexico. He believes it must
90 abroad.
81 can't see chance in the world
Of holding the fight at Tiajuana,'
said Kearns today. "Until | went to
San Diego and Tiajuana last week, |
thought there was possibility of
holding the bout there, but after GO
ing over the ground personally came
to the conclusion that Lower Califor-
MIA is not the proper site.
"Jim Coffroth told me that he had
never definitely stated that he plan
ned to stage the fight at Tiajuana.
His chief aim is to be the promoter,
whether in Mexico, the United States
England or France, he doesn't appear
to care. 1t seems to me that all this
Tiajuana talk has been to boost an
other enterprise promoted by Cof-
froth and operating there.
"As far as | can see now, there
doesn't appear to be much chance of
holding she fight in the United States
at all, Judging from the present out
look London or Paris will land it. In
the meantime, neither Dempsey nol
myself is worrying. When Jack fin
ishes his picture, in two months OF
so, he will begin active training and
will fight someone. He doesn't care
who his opponent will be. If he can't
get Carpenter, he will offer bout
to the contender of the next import.
