DeseIlamps Fears Another
Misbap Would Ruin the
Ring Career of Georges

In few straightforward state
ments. in which his English was sur
rrisingiy good NJ. Francois Deschamps.
manager of Georges Carpenter. made
pIain 20 the writer yesterday the inl-
mediate plans of the Idol Of France.
The immediate future of Jack Demp-
ssy's latest victim is very simple. In
the first place he will not fight again
antil his right hand is right. When
his right is right, according to both
Georges and his volcanic manager.
Carpenter will fight anybody in the
world except Dempsey.
Georges and Deschamps assured the
writer last night that the right hand,
only slightly swollen now, would be
given ample time to mend and that this
would mean that it could not be
brought into belligerent contact with
the other side of the middle of Oc-
tobsr.
NJ. Deschamps was quite explicit on
this point
To Rest Injured Hand
Suppose Georges he has zee fight"
explained Francois. Suppose, as you
Anerikanes say. he biffs and bangs
zee ozzer fellow on zee jaw and
hurts bees right hand worse zan be-
fore. What zen? All Zee Idol of
France he is fneesh. Zee doctaire he
say rest zee nit. He say eef we do
not rest zee nit zee nit may not be
any good forever. Eat ees enough.
We take no chance"
Georges, partly through an inter
prefer and partly in broken English
through his own smiling lips, said that
his next fight, which he admitted would
be in this country, would depend en-
tirely on the length of time involved
in healing the hand that came within q
hlny fraction of winning the heavy
weight championship OF the world at
Boyle's THIRTY Acres last Saturday.
There seemed to be no doubt last
night in the mind of either Carpenter
or Deschamps that Tom Gibbons would
be the Frenchman's next opponent.
This fact appeared to be conceded by
all the attaches of Tex Richards office,
in Madison Square Garden, although
when Tex himself was faced with the
question he gazed speculatively over
the vast surface of his Opaque swim
ming pool and declared there was moth
ing definite he could say about the fu-
ture, except that the big tank made
New York the finest summer resort in
the world.
Arena To Be Used Again
In the opinion of experts up and
down the line last night it was re-
garded as . sure thing that Carpenter
and Tom Gibbons will be the principals
in the next big bout TO be staged in
the East. This fight, according TO the
best available dope, viii be staged in
the same octagonal soup bowl in Jersey
City in which the fstic tricolor of
France fell on July A before the iron
piledrivers OF Jack Dempsey.
While Richard remained diplomat
cally mute last night on the subject of
the future, there seemed to be no doubt
among those in his Office that Carpen-
tiers right hand would be in shape to
permit the holding of this battle on
Columbus Day October 12).
The fuss and furore raised by the
blue-souled reformers of Jersey, in the
course of which the arrest of both Car
pentier and Dempsey has been de-
manded, has not altered in any way
the intention Of fight promoters to put
en- boxing bouts. The collective Jersey
fighting prospectus yesterday indicated
that the game is to thrive in that state
until legislative action is taken
against it.
Carpenter visited New York yester-

Cheers for Carpenter
The Frenchman finally drove up to

Men, women and children dubbed out

blue-eyed youth engaged in CONVEX

cidedly hearty cheer.
