 His Plans
Bv Assoolated Pr...

| Carpenter will not retire from the Dempsey. He will fight any man in the world excepting the champion, who he admits Is his superior.
 This statement was made today by Francois Descamps, the Frenchman's manager.
 I'll admit, too" added Descamps. that Jack Dempsey is the greatest heavyweight who ever lived. But I'll claim that my Georges comes next. Dempsey was too heavy and too powerful for Georges. He will not seek a return match What we want now is challenger for the worlds i light heavyweight title. which Georges holds by virtue of his vic- tory over Levinsky."
 Broken Bone Set
 The broken bone in Georges right hand was set today, and he said it felt much better. although it was still swollen and inflamed. The only other mark of any consequence is cut under his left eye about two inches in length. The physician said it woHld be healed in several days Georges said he was very tired, and that he would rest for four or five days. He read several newspaper ac- counts of the fight and expressed his delight at the favorable comment on his part of it.
 T feel glorious even in defeat" he smiled, Ito think that I did what 1 wanted to do-show 'em that I was i game"
 .'We would like to get a match with l Bill Brennan or Tom Gibbons" Des- camps said. The doctor said that Georges hand will be all right with careful nursing. We may remain right here in Manhasset for a while. Georges will keep in shape and will be ready if challenged. "it was, of course, an unfortunate thing that Carpenter broke his hand in that second round yesterday. How ever, the chances are that the result would have been the same, only 1t would have come later in the fight.
