NEW YORK, Jan. S.-America's
tree may be full of money, but the
Dempsey Carpenter fight will not
shake it down.
The next battle for the worlds
championship will not be stepping
stone for some promoter into million
aires row.
One man dickering for the fight be
lieyes SO at least He is William Fox,
movie producer, who has made the
highest ofYer-S550, 900 for the fight
Fox admits that he wants the fight
to be held in America and that he
would like to have the motion picture
rights.
For them he is willing to surrender
all immediate profit on the fight.
In addition to $500, 900 for Demp-
sey and S250,O0 to Carpenter win
or lose, Fox agrees to split fifty per
cent of the net profits to the pr1n-
cipals on 35-15 per cent basis. The
other slice of the receipts he offers
to charity.
But will there be anything left after
about S7O0, 900 have been taken out OF
the cashiers bag?
How much profit do you think
there win be to divide " the producer
was asked when he announced his Of
fer.
We'll, I'm willing to lose couple
hundred thousand dollars he an
swered.
The leading bidder for the fight said
he had made calculations without
reckoning the cost of stadium as ne
decided to stage the bout on Ebbetts
field, or the Polo grounds, ii boxing Is
legalized in New York by the fourth or
July or Labor Day. II not he plans TO
take the two Eattlers to Connecticut.
Fox also let some light in on what
Carpenter wants to tight. He de-
nlGnds flat sum Of S125.000 and does
not want to fight until 1921 as he has
s125, 900 worth Of theatrical contracts
running through 1920 and If he fights
it will necessitate cancellation. Ii
he cancels he wants the money made
good.
A cable today from London announc-
ed that Dominick Tortorich, the New
Orleans fruit merchant had bid 1926
600 to Carpenter.
Jimmy CofYroth and Chas. Cochrane

Highway Route
: Thru Jefferson
In Controversy

Jefferson, July 3-1usr where tbs
highway will run from the river
bridge after it extends north on the
Marion county side seems to be a
bone of contention between the city
council of Jefferson and the high
way commission. The commission had
planned to build the road directly
east from the bridge to Main street
and turn north at that point. Such a
plan would mean the purchasing of
the right of way from the bridge to
Main street, and the commission con
tends that it is UP to the city of JEFF
ferson to furnish the right of way
state law they are not bound to
make the purchase and refuse to
make the change in the road as out
lined by the commission. 1t is inti-
mated that the road work will be
held up at this point unless the city
provides the right of way. AT pres
ent the road makes a sharp turn at
the approach of the bridge, goes
north for couple of blocks and then
makes another turn to Main street.
The commissions route is the most
logical one, it is agreed, but Jeffer-
son people feel that it is not up to
them to buy the right of way. The
city, it is said. cannot afford to buy
the land for the road Just what act
ion will be taken in the matter will
not be known until the council meets
next week.
