WILL BE THIRD WITHOUT
 ANY DECISION
(By Associated Press)

CudlllplOuSAlp uuuei Ao ueClSlOu IuloS at limited number of rounds will be under way when Jack Dempsey and George Carpenter square off in the Jersey City ring, July 2. The only previous title contests held under sim liar conditions were the Willard-Mor. an 10-round battle, at New York, March 25, 1916, and the Willard Demp- sey contest at Toledo, O., July 4, 1919. The first bout went the limit, Willard gaining the popular verdict. At Toledo, Dempsey knocked out his ponderous opponent in the third of the scheduled 12-round bout.
 Modern ring history in the heavy weight division is considered to have begun when John L. Sullivan knocked out Paddy Ryan in nine rounds at Mississippi City, Miss, Feb. 7, 1882. Including that contest and the one in | which Marvin Hart defeated Jack Root to gain the title relinquished by Jim Jeffries, there have been "A cham pionship bouts. The longest was that in which John l.. Sullivan knocked out Jake Kilrain in 75 rounds at Rich burg, Miss, the shortest that in which Tommy Burns stopped Bill Squires in one round at Colma, Cal, July 4, 1907.
 By the average duration of these | championship contests, which is a trifle under 15 rounds, Dempsey and Carpenter, scheduled for only 12 ses- l sions, would seem likely to go to the prescribed route. The length of the Sullivan Kilrain duel however ! stretches this average and examina- tions of the records shows that II of the 23 battles have stopped short of the 12 round mark, while the most re- cent championship fight, in New York last December, ended with the knock out of Bill Brennan by Dempsey in the 18th round.
 Persons who wage on an official re- suit in the Jersey City bout, can win or lose only in two events, a knockout or a disqualification on a foul. To make possible a clean-cut decision, it has been suggested that Promoter "Tex" Rickard, appoint three judges who shall sit at the ringside and announce a verdict after returning to New York following the bout.
