FRENCH AND BRITISH
EAV0RINC CARPENTER
By Henry L. Farrell

(OnlteV 1EeSS NOIIeSpoAueAL)
New York. JAM Slack Demp-
sey may knock out Georges Carpen-
tier but he'll never beat him."
This is bit Of British logic
brought back from Picadilly by Tex
O'Rourke, matchmaker of the Inter-
national Sporting club, who recently
made a tour of Europe for amateur
talent.
It is a rather unique way of fight
ing a fight, but it shows how the
British differentiate between fighting
and boxing.
In England and France, according
to O'Rourke, it is an opinion close to
a conviction that Carpenter will be
the next worlds heavyweight cham
pion.
In France they are Offering odds
of two to one while the British are
willing to wager at five to four that
Dempsey will lose to the enchman.
They have never seen Dempsey
and they rank him on par with Bill
Brennan, Frank Moran and others Of
the so-called second division OF AM
erican heavies.
The fact that Frank Moran dispos-
ed of Joe Beckett, the English cham
pion in two rounds did not cause the
English to lose any of their enthus-
iasm about Carpenter.
''True Moran did, finish Beckett in
two rounds, but Georges did it in
fifty seconds. He is wonderful" the
London experts commented,
O'Rourke says that everyone in Eu
rope is sure of Dempsey's defeat with
the exception Of Carpenter him
self.
81 will do my BETS the French
man confide;a to his American friend.
The loyalty with which the Eng
lisil cling~to their consistently beat
en-. and abused idols, Beckett and
Bomby Wells seems to- be the never
dying sort.
Major Wilson, who promoted the
Beckett-Moran S low, escorted
O'Rourke to the pier when he was re-
turning.
81 wish you would try to get some
of your good heavyweights to come
over and meet Beckett-Dempsey,
Brennan, Fulton or any Of them," he
said.
What, after his experience with
'Moran?" Tex asked.
"He is still our champion, regard
less," the British promoter, replied,
with all seriousness.
