heavyweight champion Of Europe, re-
turned from America richer by l,O0O,-
600 francs n with a great respect
for the fighting abilityRo Of Jack Demp-
scy. world titleholder. y
Carpenter was never boastful be-
fore leaving France when he had! not
seen Dempsey. He said on his return
that Dempsey vas considered in
America to be d "super-fghter'' but
that he would meet him with as much
confidence as he did the British fight
crs, Wells and Backett, whom he
knocked out.
The newspapers" said Carpenter,
would lead me to the s slaushter like ke
an OK. l don't believe it. I have met
Dempsey. who is really a very amiable
gentleman. I even had one match
with him which I won-but that wa.
at golf. Dempsey's kind thought in
sending me a+wireless message, when
off Nantucket wishing us Godspeed
wa very gentlemanly."

tier would beat the champion in two
rounds. has TO- been modified to such
expressions as: 1.-THE difference in

Descamps appeared proud of the
concessions he succeeded in obtaining
from the promoters.

Levinsky and the Kissing and jeers
to which he was subject while acting
as second to Charles Ledoux, the
| French bantamweight, in the latter's
