"Id fight Harry Wills If be
ustch." said the worlds heavyweight
Dempsey made it very plain that he
attended to follow in the footsteps of
linn Jeffries ana sweep the field of ex-
,.,iuc heavyweight material. Like big
Jeff, ne is willing to give every one
bs has already beaten a return match.
And he would like nothing better than
to begin with Willard.
carpenter is great fighter" said
dempsey. 81 am sorry he broke his
hand. He is game fellow. as game as
I ever saw, and he took his medicine
without q whimper. If he thinks he
should have another try later on. why,
should be glad to accommodate him,
tao. He is too light for me, think,
Int later on, if the public believes him
entitled to a return, l will be glad to
meet him. Of this l am sure: Carpen-
der is a really great light heavyweight
champion, and he'll prove it against the
best of our men in that class"
Despite the opinions of all the ex-
perts to the contrary, Jack Dempsey in
lists he was at no time in distress in
the second round of Saturdays battle
with the Frenchman- Jack Kearns
backs him up in the statement.
Did Not Feel Blow
AI asked Jack how he felt when he
zane to his corner at the end OF the
second" said Kearns, "and if he had
been weakened by Carpenters heavy
rights. why, he didn't hit me, Doc,
was the reply. AT least if he did he
didn't hit me hard. I never felt the
least sign OF Weakness"
Dempsey was very much impressed
With the courtesy and breeding of Car
pentier, and declares they will be
friends for life whether or not they
ever again meet in the ring. Some
night this week they will try their
athletic prowess in another line. They
are to meet in match race in Madi-
son Square Garden swimming pool
Dempsey is enthusiastic over this
swimming test. The two have already
met on the links in q real novice test
at golf.
Yesterday afternoon, in company
tive, the worlds champion visited
ton of the fight films. He declares
these the best and clearest he has ever
seen. He declares every blow can be
seen as plainly as from a press seat
at the ringside.
Prom otter Tex Richard said yester-
day afternoon that if Jess Willard
would give him assurances that he
would train religiously for a match
he would engage the former cham
pion for Dempsey at the big arena in
Boyle's Thirty Acres for Labor Day
afternoon. Negotiations toward this
end will be started at once, as Willard
is quoted as being open to PROPOSE
tons. Ii Willard will not post heavy
guaranty of good faith it is likely that
Bill Brennan will be given return
engagement with the champion.
Carpenter VS.. Gibbons
Richard says he intends to hold a
series Of big cham pionships before the
outdoor season comes to an end. Car
pentier and Doschamps have assured
him that the light heavyweight cham
pion will box any suitable opponent
80 soon as Georges's injured hand is
fit for Business. Indeed, the French
men have asked Richard to arrange &
match with Tom Gibbons. Lightweight :
champion Benny Leonard can have a
date at his convenience, Richard AYERS.
Promoter Richard intends to use his
big arena as often as possible, but will
give the public an opportunity to re-
ssuperate: 1t is not likely that any
boxing show will be put on before the
END Of the present month. Richard
has an idea that the moving pictures
OF the big fight will realize hand
some profit. He is hopeful that the
Jaws will be changed so that the pic
.ure IN It's entirety may be shown
throughout this country. Just now it
Is Illegal, under the interstate COM
merce law, to transport fight pictures
from one state to another.
However, Richard has a plan to COM
mercialize his reels in other states
IMAM New Jersey if there is no change
made in the law. He believes the gen
e.al public will be interested in view
Of the greatest sporting spectacle
KNOWN to America exclusive of the &C.
tual fight. The crowd pictures. the men
III .falning, their entrance into the ring
and their leaving will be shown in
states other than New Jersey.
