CARPENTER TO
ARRIVE IN U. s.
MIDDLE Of FEB
European Champion Is t
Fulfill Contract Out
side His Ring
Activities.

New York, Jam 2l.--Private ad-
vices from France indicate that
Georges Carpe European
heavyweight champion, will arrive
in this country about the middle-ef
February. Tie French pugilist, chal-
.lenger for the worlds title now held
by Jack Dempsey, will come to the
United States to fulfill a contract
entirely outside his ring activities,
but there is understood to be no
obligation in this contract which
would prohibit him from engaging in
either exhibition or limited round
boxing contests.
While Carpenters manager, De-
schamps, refuses to divulge the actu-
al conditions embodied in the con-
tract, various promoters appear to
take it for granted that the French
fighter will be permitted to engage
in some form of restricted ring ac-
tivity and there is certain to be a
wild scramble for his services. In
view of his early arrival, it is con-
sidered unlikely that Carpenter will
definitely sign for a championship
bout with Dempsey, even if in a pos
ition to do so, before he reaches
America. Cable negotiations appear
to be uncertain and unsatisfactory
and it is understood that the French
pugilist and his manager prefer to
do business directly with the pro-
moters. who have already passed the
S500,000 mark in their bids for the
fight.
The Frenchmen are thoroughly
familiar with the fact that a fight
bill has been introduced in the New
York legislature and that New Jer-
sey clubs hope to have the present
law there changed to permit bouts
fully as satisfactory to the boxing
fans as the proposed New York
regulations,
