yesterday for hours the promoter de-
clared he had not vet reached a de-
cision as 10 the exact spot FOR pitching
the ring. but hoped 70 tell every body
about it this afternoon.
However. Rickard disseminated the
cheering information that Carpenter
would sail on the French liner La Savoie
on May A. This was received in the
shape OF a cableeram from Francois
Descamps. manager or the French
champion. NJ Descamps added that
Carpenter was already in fine condi-
tion physically and would need but six
weeks Of training to put him on edge.
Dempsey Is at Freddie Welsh's health
farm at Summit. y, r.. and reports
from that point indics ted that the cham
pion was acquiring health with crafty
ing rapidity.
Information from Wall Street Is TO
the effect that the bears and bulls are
taking considerable interest IN the ap-
preaching combat and are inclined 10
speculate OH the event. The keen per-
sons who do business IN the shadow OF
Trinity are said 10 favor the chances
OF the worlds champion. and are willing
to wager 10 against that the man
who whipped Willard will vanquish the
agile and resourceful Frenchman Bet
ting on the bout will not become active
till the men get into their training quar-
ters and show their form to the patrons
or the sport.
Among the close observers the opinion
