NEW YORK. Jan. ?. UNITED Press).
Jack Dempsey VIII give Carpenter a
chance at the title in America.
This hunch IS growing into a con-
victiOn IN the sporting fraternity. Every
move being made recently by the army
Of would-be promoters and the fight
ers themselves seems 10 indicate that
The champion will defend his crown
not In France or in London, but in the
United STATES.
There's a hunch OF the same size
that the nght will be staged right here
IN New York such strong assurance
has been given that the State Legisla-
lure will iegalize boxing that some OF
the promoters are acting as If II had
been done already.
Both Kearns and Descamps can talk
big money. And 70 will take big pro-
moter with big money 10 listen to
them. A million dollar gate seems TO
DE the size Of the rival managers goal
and it's almost a sure bet that America
can come closer to approaching that
sum than any Of the foreign countries.
Dempsey wants 90 fight in America.
There's no doubt Of that. lie has ex-
pressed his willingness to cross the
water. but he doesn't relish the
chances. Jack would rather fight here
where he knows the climate, where he
knows the rules and where ne has the
crowd with him.
Carpenter also wants 70 fight on this

he's out after the money and he's
going where he can get the most Of Il
the quickest. He thinks that's Amer
lea. He's coming over here for a the
lirical tour in the spring. The trip will
be a financial cleanup, but more than
that II will give the Frenchman a
chance TO feel the pulse OF the nation
and 10 learn how he stands with the
Yankee fans. II conditions are favor
able he will probably demand to have
the stage for the fight set on these
shores.
Cochrane, It Is true, has a contract
signed by Carpenter and he would
rather stage the fight In London. where
he has all the trimmings laid out and
ready. But that contract IS worthless
until Dempsey signs Il and 1t can be
made mere scrap OF paper" If Demp-
sey passes up the English impressariO
and signs with some other promoter.
C0chrane. it is thought, could be ar
gued into selling his contract for the
Frenchman's service for a Fat sum. lt
would be a nice way Of making win
ter keep money" and would relieve him
Of all responsibility and hazard Of a
loss.
The place that lands the fight will be
the place that has the most money to
offer and America has a well known
reputation for dough.

CALIFORNIA FOR
ANTI-ALIEN BILL

California voters last week emphat.
icaly registered their approval OF
legislation against alien land owner
| ship in the state.
The amendment aimed at the Japan
ese which will prohibit them from
owning or holding land in the state,
carried by at least three to one. The
vote in San Francisco was about four
to one in favor of the measure. Some
upstate counties, in which feeling
against the japanese was especially
strong, went six to one for the law
The California action is very gratify-
ing to the Hood River Anti-Alien AS
sociation, according to r. E. Scott,
secretary.
''It shows, says Mr. Scott, that
public opinion has reached the point in
California where further aggression
of Japanese will not be tolerated. 4"
While the local organization has
tentatively planned to present a bill,
similar to the California law, to the
next legislature, Mr. Scott states that
he is not sure that the Association will
take the initiative in the matter.
I'VE will certainly support any such
BILL" he said, "but indications now
point to the bill being put forward by
an organization Of much greater
strength than our own. While we
Hood River folk initiated the anti
Asiatic movement, the idea has grown
steadily in other parts of the state.
