No Secret Training.


Regarding the report that Carpenter
would do all his training In private Des-
camps said 1t was not 80.
I'VE shall not want the general pub
lie at the quarters and will not attempt
to make any money through training ex-
hibitions But Carpenter will always be
glad to have representatives OF the press
watch his work. and through this me-
dium the public can be kept informed.
Descamps said that Carpenters train
ing staff would be composed OF Paul
Journee. Joe Jeanette. Battling Marcot
and one or two American boxers, VINO
would be chosen later on.
Asked II he would consent to the pro-
posal to have three American judges
name the winner on points In the event
that the bout went the limit OF twelve
sounds. Descamps said.
'-Oui. ouh. That suits me. Three
judges could hardly all 20 wrong. and
we would abide by their ruling"
Carpenters attire was more subdued
Yesterday than 1t was on his previous
vista He wore blue serge suit. white
turn down hard collar. with modest
garnet tie mixed with blue. His over
coat, cut with narrow waistline, was
brown mixed and gray fedora topped
him off. In all he was hardly more
conspicuous than dozen of his fellow
passengers. His brown hair was brushed
back from his forehead.
When told that Dempsey was learning
Ito punch a la F'rancaise. he said with
N smile. that's all right"
n Regarding Nine. Carpenter, who
came all the way to Havre to see her
husband sail. and who witnessed the
great send off the European champion
got ut the railway station In Paris, she
Is remaining at home. Carpenter said :
She HIS a more important task than
to witass the contest, that OF caring for
little Jasqueline. born last November.
Rickard Pleased.
Tex Hck,rd was much impressed with
the physical Condition OF Carpenter. and
said:
I'm all my experience as a promoter ]
never saw a man In better condition 30
far distant frun battle. He doesn't need
much work tosquar<Dofr with Dempsey
in my Jersey CITY arena July 2.
1--WE talked a,out various things. and
all the time we talked / couldn't help
but admire his ,piendid condition. He
astonished me. aid dare say he could
go In the ring on very short notice. He
said he had done Considerable boxing in
Europe since he ssnt home tac first
time and that he dida't need much work
to At him for his American opponent.
II never picked winner in q heavy
weight championship fout in my life. and
was positively sorry Tor Dempsey after
he was matched with Willard. may be
wrong in the present inatance, but be-
tween you and me 3 to seems to be
eXtsavagant odds" #&
Jack Curley also expressed the opinion
that Carpenter SHOULD not ie looked on
