RECORD CROWD WILL

Receipts So Far Total S525,OOO,
 Tex RiCkard Announces

New York. May 26.-The Demp- sey-Carpentier fight for the world s hevyweight championship already has broken all box office records. With the date Of the bout five weeks dis tant, Promoter Tex Rickard today an nounced that the receipts had reached s525,00o. Thousands of seats yet re- main available.
 Receipts of the Dempsey Willard battle. promoted by Rickard at To- ledo, O., June I. 1919. constituted the previous record of s452,522. nearly twice as much as the high mark which had been established by the Johnson-Jeffries battle at Reno, New. in 1910 when Rickard gathered in s270.755.
 All seats except the five dollar ad- mission pasteboards have been on sale here for the past two weeks. General admission tickets will be sold only on the day of the bout.

scarcely hope to win against these men I was beating right along did not strike me at all. I resolved never again to let fiattery turn my head. I would be done with this vain business.
 I went to Descamps and begged him 10 seek d match for me in Paris, for that gay capital had witnessed my ig nominious defeat and I wanted to atone if such a thing were possible. It turned out that this defeat was the very thing l needed to set me harder at work, so when it was announced that I was to box Paul Til. whom I previously had conquered, in a twenty round bout, I was in the best of condition and de- teImined to make the battle a victory or die in the attempt.
 I did not defeat Til. He fought too carefully to allow me to register the necessary points, but I did have the satisfaction of coming through the con- test unscathed and holding this very clever boxer to d draw in the twenty rounds.
 do not know why it should be so but my two defeats had only quickened Parisian interests in my efforts to reach fame in the ring, and when I drew with Til 1 was warmly appauded. My popularity returned and I was as much sought after for bouts as ever. before.
 Victory after victory followed my footsteps in these days until one day I met Henri Piet, and he defeated me in Paris in ten rounds. Poor Piet. He was slain by the Germans. What grand. sportsmanlile fighter he was.
