He lost additional friends when h
left the boxing game after his Willard
conquest to clean up the movies.
Carpenter says he came over to figh
Dempsey and fulfill a motion picture
and vaudeville contract.
The situation that he faced was
rasping one. Dempsey has been held il
check by his own government. and i
was difficult to expect Carpenter t.
meet second choice, where he had lit
tie to gain and everything to lose.
On the other hand, fight fans, re
calling the careers of Willard ant
Dempsey, look for something differcn
from the eminent Frenchman.

weary of seeing champions desert thei
