Deschamps, Frenchman's Manager Fails To Send
Forfeit Money To U. S.-Too Much
Money Is Considered

New York. Ian. s.-Announccment
that the heavyweight championship
boxing bout between Jack Dempsey,
titleholder and Georges Carpenter,
European champion, for which the
enormous purse of $500, 900 had been
offered has been definitely declared
of. was made tonight by tho New
York Times.
Failure of the principals to deposit
forfeit moneys, as was provided for in
contracts signed by the promoters, the
boxers, and their managers, was given
as the reason for the cancellation.
Under the terms OF the contest, the
promoters--Charles B. Cochran of Eng
land. William A Brady and Tex Rick
ard-collectively agreed to deposit the
sum of 100000 as a guarantee of good
fIth- This sum was to be deposited
with tho Central Union Trust company
hero on or before November 20 last.
Tho managers OF the respective boxers
agreed to deposit $4,000 each.
Only ono deposit, that of Mr.. Coch-
ran for $3s.SSSS.33 has been made.

Pueblo chieftain., 1921-01-19

The match was to be held either in
March, 1921, or between May 20, 1921
and July 4, 1921, at a place to be de-
signated by the promoters.
While the failure to adhere to the
deposit stipulations are the alleged
compelling forces in abandonment Of
the bout, other clements notably the
recent action of the National Boxing
Association. in adopting a maximum
price of SIS per seat for a champion
ship contest, are believed to have en-
tered into the situation.
San Francisco, Jan. 1s.-Jack Kearns,
manager for Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight champion of the world, tonight
said forfeits had been posted both for
Dempsey and Carpenter.
My check for $4,000 was deposited
in New York three days after that
same amount had been posted by Car
pcntier's manager" said 'Kcarns.
THE whole report is a canard start
cd by jealous persons who wish to
harm the principals"
kcarns dcnials of tho report were
made to Harry B. Smith sporting edi-
tor of the San Francisco Chronicle and
a personal friend of the champion and
his manager
Attendants of Dempsey who is living
at the kcarns homo in Oakland where
temporary training quarters have been
set up refused to call Dempsey from
