NAMES NEW JERSEY
AS SITE FOR Big
CHAMPIONSHIP 60
Richard Refuses TO Divulge
Name of City, However
Jersey City Favored.

Tv Associated Press:
NEW YORK. April with the
long awaited official announcement
today that the Dempsey Carpenter
heavyweight championship bout
would be fought in the state OF New
Jersey on the afternoon of July .,
interest among local ring followers
turned TO the probable place OF the
contest and the training plans Of
the principals. Efforts 20 obtain a
definite statement from promoter
Tex Richard as to the site Of the
contest were without success.
re refused TO commit himself as
20 Newark. Atlantic City or Jersey
City. the three sites mentioned in
the announcement. He said he had
received favorable offers from all
three cities, and would personally
inspect the locations suggested be-
fore he would be in a position to
make a final decision. While there
has been nothing official upon which
to base the report. it appears to be
the general opinion among those
who have followed the match nego-
tiations that Jersey City will be the
ultimate choice.
Causes Discussion
The decision to hold the con
test in New Jersey, develops several
interesting points which are already
causing discussion among boxing au-
thorities. Under the New Jersey box
ing laws no decision can be given
at the termination of the bout. Con-
I sequently, the only way in which
Carpenter could win the world 5
| title would be TO knock out Demp-
sey inside the stipulated II rounds.
permitted under the state code, or
/ for the champion to lose his title
/ by a FOUL.
While Richard refused to make
any comparison of the fighters abil-
I ity of the two pugilists, he said he
I did not think the inability TO render
an official decision. as would have
/ been the case had the bout been held
/ in New York state would have the
slightest effect on the attendance.
He confidently predicted the atten-
| dance would be the largest ever wit
/ messed a championship ring battle.
Another unusual angle lies in the
/ fact that the two boxers are match
/ ed on a percentage basis, instead of
/ the fat sum which it has been Rick
ards custom to pay in the past.
/ With Dempsey and Carpenter
drawing sixty per cent. of the gate
! receipts. it is considered likely that
their share will be larger than the
| 1927, 600 paid to Willard and Demp-
sey or the 100000 awarded to
Johnson and Jefferies when they
boxed under Richards arrange
ments at Reno, in 1910.
/ An agreement that Dempsey is to
receive the larger share Of the box
ers gate percentage, win, lose or
draw, is in line with the former
wording Of the contract.
