LONDON. Feb. NC. l. Cochran.
who promoted the Cafpentber-Beckett

he doubted the truth Of cable reports
from New York that William Fox, the

the signature of Georges Carpenter
on a fight contract. Cochran said
he held a contract himself run
ming well into next year: that he had
already deposited $4,000 and would
increase 1t to 10000 in June. He
added that he hoped to stage the fight
in London about next New Year day.

heavyweight champion will be unable
to meet Jack Dempsey either In
Europe or the United States prior to
that date without Cochran's sanction.
today declared William A. Brady. who
represents Cochran in this country.
Brady's announcement was prompted
by the claim made by William Fox to
the effect that Carpenter has agreed
to sign with him to meet Dempsey
here.

promoter who doubts 1t may have .

expire until February IS. 1921. unless
by the consent or arrangement with
Mr.. Cochran As for Dempsey have
represented Mr.. Cochran in all his
dealings with Kearns, and I am in
receipt of a telegram from Kearns
stating that he will see me at the
earliest possible moment and discuss
the proposition of Dempsey signing
with Cochran"
Cochran has already deposited $25,-
900 in London as stipulated by his
contract with Carpenter. The arti-
cles call for the posting of another
large sum in June and still another
next December. providing that Coch-
ran does not sign Dempsey in the
meanwhile.
The contract reads that as long as
Cochran makes deposits of money as
stipulated the contract shall continue
in force. Before leaving for London
Cochran said that he will post an
other large sum in June providing he
is unable to sign Dempsey before that
time.
