Carpenter in three or four rounds.
1 will not be surprised IL Dempsey
stops him in the first round. This.
Of course. depends upon the style
adopted by Carpenter
THE Dempsey who will defend mis-
est, hardest hitting, gamest heavy
weight who ever stepped into the
ring. After the fight is over l think
every one who saw it will agree
with me-
Dempsey is IN better condition
| than he has ever been. He has
\ trained hard and faithfully and I
never felt more confident Of winning
a tight. l am convinced that he will
beat Carpenter and do it decisively.
The champion is bigger and stronger
and a better fighter than when he

will do his best and if beaten Will
have no excuse to offer"
