Of our own neglect. Our system OF medi-

doctoring our organs with stimulating
drugs instead Of strengthening them.

scared of draft charges Dempsey
will hold the key to the fight situ-
alton. The first promoter who
signs the worlds, champion will
stage the title battle.
Carpenter, who arrived here yes
terday from France, has already
put his John Hancock to contracts
with Charles Cochran, William
Fox. Billy Gibson, and Dominick
Tortorich of New Orleans. These
are merely options. Each one con-
tains a clause that the first promo
ter who corrals Dempsey can sign
Carpenter.
Georges got substantial sum
for signing each option, neat evil
dence of considerable shrewdness
in the Frenchman's camp.
Carpenter insists on 6O-4O split
Of the purse. He's quite satisfied
to gamble on the winners end and
doesn't want a guaranteed figure.
ANY time and place selected by
the successful promoter is agree
