Carpenter Suffers From "High
Dollar Fever" and Ignores
Paris Fans, Says Writer.

nARIS, Dec. 10.-That Carpen-
tier is suffering from a "high
dollar fever" and that Man
ager Francois Descamps no longer
considers the champion as a boxer,
but as a human capital which he
exploits are points outlined in q
letter received by the sporting
editor Of LAuto, in which the
correspondent asks that Carpenter
fight again. in his own country be-
fore his intended retirement.
The letter, as published by L'Auto,
after referring to the Carpentier-aki
fight previous to which Descamps
stated that Georges was ready to meet
the Sengalese on condition that Sikh
first beat Miles and Journee. two
French heavyweights, reads:
"The reason why the Carpenter
sikh project raises such controversies
IL not so much that Carpenter fears
Sikh, but rather because Descamps,
knowing that the fight would have to
be staged in Paris, simply fears the
small purse in French francs. Nat.
urally purse In francs Is nothing
compared to q purse In dollars. Des.
camps today no longer considers Car.
pentier as q boxer, but as human
capital, which he wants to exploit to a
maximum. Since Carpenter received
sbout two million francs for the
Dempsey fight. Descamps ignores
French fans who could only offer a
purse of few hundred thousand
"But Carpenter should not forget
that he reached his high standing OF
today thanks to the encouragement
he received from the French public
end French promoters. With this
thought In mind he should never have
created the paradox Of a French cham
pion who for more than two years
has not fought in his own country.
He has an excellent opportunity of
fighting In France now with Sikh. He
should accept the fight. and when he
fetires in the near future, as he in
tends doing. he will leave behind him
the memory of loved and courageous
boxer instead, as many will easily be-
Eeye that of a business man."

FEAR OLYMPIC
GAMES MAY GO
TO LOS ANGELES
Paris Sportsmen Becoming
Alarmed Over Delay In Start
ing Preparations for Meet.

N ARIS, Dec. 10.-Paris sports
men are now becoming seri-
ously alarmed over the de-
lay in starting arrangements for
the Olympic games for July, 1924,
awarded to Paris by the Interna-
tional Olympic committee at Laus-
anne. They fear that, unless some
thing is done before the end Of the
year, the committee may reconsid-
er its decision and give the games
to Los Angeles.
All the architects thus Ear consulted
concede that II win take nearly three
years to construct a suitable stadium
Yet neither has the ground for such a
stadium been chosen nor has any bill
BEEN introduced either m Parliament
or the Municipal Council setting
aside funds for its construction.
The French foreign office played an
important part in securing the 1924
games for Paris. Both President NIL
Ter and Premier BRAND realized the
value of the propaganda resulting to
France IL the meet were held here,
and they urged French members OF
the committee to press the claims OF
Paris very strongly.
The oity of Paris also took q strong
hand. The municipal authorities ar.
gued that the summer season for
Paris would thus be prolonged far be
