 New York. June l0.-Carpentier is working on a new blow, It is a fearsome thing. It makes the wal iop he bestowed upon Jack Dempsey. last June. causing the great worlds champion tos back away. seem by comparison the loving tap which your best girl bestows upon your chin when she is mildly vexed at your kidding.
 At least. that is the report from Paris. The word Is that Carpenter had 1t all perfected in time for the Lewis fight, but decided 1t was not necessary to tip his mitt, as the se- cret of his new punch. He will save 1t for Dempsey. All of which shows just how cleverly they are working on the other side in the interest of the return match between Jack and Georges.
 Secret blows are not made as much of in the United States as they used to be. Tn, the old days, when fight CTS sequestered themselves in re- mote road houses, there used to be all sorts of talk about the discovery and development of new and highly intricate wsllops, but when the fights were held, the same old blows were on tap.
 Georges VIII Need It
 Nowadays, with fighters working altogether in tho gymnaslums. this mystery stuff has all been aban- doned. As to Carpenter, all that can be said Is that he will need all the mysterious punches he can in- vent when he steps into the ring against the American champion.
 He must be so busy working over this knocker-out, by the way, that h- has not had time to pay attention to suggestions that he meet Harry Greb. It is known that Descamps. the Frenchman's wily manager. had keen observers at the ringside when Greb fought both Tunney and Gib- bons, fact which may account for the silence with which Richards of fers to Carpenter for a Greb fight have been treated.
 Jack Dempsey. by the way, has not been any too forward in discussing d bout with Greb. It was under stood that when Dempsey got back to this country, battle with the Plttsburger would be a mere matter of course. But nothing has been heard of this match for long time.
 Working On Bob Martin It is interesting to note the care with which Jimmy Bronson, Bob Martins manager, Is rebuilding his fighter. After his bad showing last winter. Bronacn took the big fellow into retirement. and now has him out in the bushes meeting third rat ters or worse. In this way 1t is hoped that Bobs confidence will be restored and his fighting ability en- .hanced.
 The other night, out In the middle west. he knocked out Joe Burke in | jig time, and next he will meet Bill |. Steel, q Canadian, at Covington, Ky. | The date is June IS, the bout is ten rounds. On June IS. he will meet Martin Burke, the New Orleans heavy. at New Orleans. Martin is 8 clean cut heavyweight. with fine wsllop. and there Is little doubt that he will make fine bid for high hon ors in his new climb toward the top. Speaking of Harry Greb, the box ing promoters of the Revere Beach. Boston club. have been camping on his trail for battle against some good opponent. Harry, probably would be willing. except that the July { date does not appeal to him.
