purse, the record being held by Rick ards contract with Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey, whereby Willard receiv- ed s100,000 and Dempsey s27,5o0 for their fight at Toledo on July 4, 1919. The division of the purse will show the than Carpenter in the role of challenger and holder of the European heavyweight title.
 While the promoters are understood to be planning to hold the bout here in Madison Square Garden ample provis- ions is made for the shifting of the con- test to another city in case opposition arises from any source.
 Under the contract it will be possible to hold the fight in Canada, Mexico, Cuba or the West Indies. The site of the contest and the date will not be f. nally arranged for some time.
 Many managerial and legal obstacles had to be overcome before the match could be made, because of the various contracts which one or the other of the pugilists had previous signed.
 Carpentier was under an ironclad con tract to Charles Cochran of London not to sign with any other promoter before Jan. 1, 1921. Rickard has held -Demp- seys signature to fight for him for some months and it became apparent that the International heavyweight battle could not be arranged for months to come un- less the two promoters joined forces This was finally accomplished by Brady who ha sacted in the capacity of Coch- ran's American representative until the latter arrived here recently to complete the details personally
 While it is understood that the pro- moters are counting upon record gate in order to carry the burden of the huge purse involved, the moving picture re. ceipts are expected to prove the greatest revenue in the long run. It had been es- timated that if the bout is held in Madi- son Square Garden box seats around the ringside will sell for nearly $2O0 each with other seats and positions ranging downward in proportion
 The total receipts from the movins pictures of the fight, especially shoult Carpenter win twill be worth millions abroad where he is a European hero While films could be taken of the contes /, in the garden, the pictures could not b.

 AFrom the start it was Westerly's gmae They had the winning spirit and it was not in the least diminished by N. F. As touchdown which was the first score of the game Coach Mckay was not put out much by the defeat and even believes it was a good thing for the boys. He is of tha opinion that it will put them in a better fighting mood for the Bulkeley game now looming up on the horizon. He knows his boys have the goods and can give them all a rub except on Tuesdays and when they are in the throes of a slump.
