ENGLAND WARY
ABOUT BIDDING
FOR BIG MATCH
London Fails to Enthuse Over
Chance to Stage Carpen-
tier-Dempsey Scrap.
BOUT WITHOUT HOME
BY RUSSELL BROWNING,
United Press staff Correspondent.

LONDON. Jan. S.-Opinion is divided
in England over the prospects of the
Dempsey Carpenter heavyweight cham
pionship being fought in this country.
With the price Limitation on seats in
New York and the heavy tax placed upon
fight tickets above the value of twenty
francs in France, many ring followers
here believe that England is the only
place left.
Charles B. CSehrane, partner of Tex
Richard and William A. Brady, New
York, in the promotion of the fight wOulu
not make any definite announcement
today.
Inquiry among sportsmen revealed
strong sentiment against the selection oil
London as the site.
In statement TO the United Press the
editor Of Sporting Life said that Lon
dOners were not taking 1t seriously yet,
but in the event efforts were made to
bring the big battle here that opposition
would be sure to spring up from the
press and the pulpit directed largely
against foreigners taking such large
sums out of England.
1t was pointed out that there are no
laws in England TO prevent the fight, but
on several occasions, notably the Wells
johnson affair. public sentiment has
caused big engagements TO be called of.
London has the facilities 10 stage the
hight. The Olympia has Il seating ca
pacity of 1900 and Albert Hall holds
1000, and the sky is the limit on prices.
Promoters are asking 80 FOR the com
ing Wilde Herman bout and the top
prices for the Beckett Carpenter fight
were f24,O0O. The Dempsey Carpenter
fight would command 100000, it Is
thought.
NEW YORK, Jan. S-RepOrts from
London today that the Britishers are
n nWnr h 4 9
Dempsey Carpenter fight there, make
the $4,000 ring baby" look Ike home
When the fight first doomed mp as a
sure thing everybody and every place
wanted it. Now 1t is getting the general
gO-by.
The fight can't come of in New York
for Central Park filed Mt s. to SIS would
hardly pay expenses. France. with a 30
per cent tax on tickets, over the price
Of s., is out of the question
Havana and Canada remain. but the
prospects of either are not enough to
~enthuse the promoters. New Jersay, be-
yOnd a statement Of John Smith of the
boxing, commission some time ago that
the f. would he welcomed there
hasn't commented on its attitude re-
Gently.
Even if State sanction were obtained
there is always that injunction club"
over the promoters. That's one reason
why London has been favored lately
The same barrier lies across the road
for the Dempsey-Wfllard fight scheduled
here for st. Patrek's day. Promoter
Richard, who had definitely decided upon
Madison SfUare Garden as the site. will
have to look elsewhere unless the cham
piOn and former champion are willing
to accept a fire sale cut in their price
The bout has not been called off yet
according to Richard. He has several
other places in site, but he win not IN
cover them.
