NEW YORK. May IL. - Now
watch the smoke up for another
Dempsey Carpenter nghtl
Because the Frenchman knocked
out Ted Lewis, a middleweight that
has been beaten by every first-class
welterweight In the United States,
the fires have been started to steam
up second edition OF the Jersey
City act.
Already Jack Kearns says Carpen-
tier should have another chance.
Kearns says Carpenter looked
much bigger and stronger against
Lewis than he did last July across
the Hudson.
He figures "Georgeous Georges
would have do better next time.
II there Is a place in the world
that will pay to see it, Dempsey and
Carpenter are sure to fight again.
Another argument being advanced
Is Carpenter was handicapped in
the Dempsey fight by a small ring
and heavy gloves.
The next time they would be put
In a ballroom with cotton gloves
and the Frenchman would have a
fine chance to win.
Snsokeups have a very effectual
way Of getting results. Every big
fight staged in these new times has
to go through the process Of being
worked up to where the fans will
pay huge prices to see II.
II the Frenchman had knocked
out Jack Britton in two minutes no
sane mind would consider that a
valid reason for a heavyweight
championship fight. Yet Brltton has
knocked out Lewis and .he vener-
able welterweight champion never
was accused OF having a deadly
punch.
Beny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion, Is willing to fight Lewis and its
1T least. an even money bet that
Benny would knock him out. Leon
ard was already to take a run 10
London late this summer and seek a !
rack at the jaw Of Ted Kid.
However, Benny has little chance |
o get II, II the lightweight cham
,ion knocked Lewis out in couple |
" rounds or over n longer distance |
{ would make Carpenter look Ike |
lnything but a logical contender for /
he heavyweight crown.

Bursts of laughter accompanied
