 New York, February 25.--lack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, now has in hand several definite prop ositions from European promoters for matching the heavyweight cham siye statement in this column that Dempsey -Carpentier fight in England is tsrong possibility. two of these offers inolve the French champion. The financial terms presented to Kearns read very well indeed. As a matter of fact. more money is prom ised in these offers than anything Dempsey could earn in this country. except through fight with Harry Wills.
 Kearns knows, and every other wise man knows, that battle with Wills is impossible, and that it would be sucker fight any way. Wills has gone back and under the rules gov erning hitting in clinches. the color ed man would not have a Chinaman's chance.
 Dope Frof, Europe
 From across thd water comes a grist of interesting dope today from that globe trottiiiF western sports man. Hcrry Dime,} Dime says that after Carpenter 5tows away Ted CNfd) Lewis n A thil, he will face a demand by the Frepeh that he meet Marcel Miles, NlRps, who is a real heavyweight has been laying the French heavies away in workmanlike fashion lately. He has beaten Le- quenne, so daliedN Champion Of the North" whatever that may mean, stuber, formerL champion of the French army. Battling Smith, cham pion of the( American army of occu- patton; Jeff. De Saus the Belgian heavyweight, and Dan McGoldrick, guardsman scrapper.
 Miles has become very popular with the Partisan fight fans The French think Carpentier can take him, but they aref not so certain ot this that they do not wish to see the two men meet.
 As for Battling Siki, the senegalese negro. who was q holy terror to the French fans short while ago, he recently tackled Paul Journee-well known ovcer here-and was lucky to get the decision in b rounds. Even the French realize that Jornee is not so much, so Siki no longer holds fear for fighters on the European horizon.
 However, the big white haired boy of the boulevards of Paris still is Carpenter. His victory over George Cook has restored him to the place he occupied before Dempsey crashed him for row of tools, and, talk as you please. this goes for London, too.
 A Ia Sport Writer du France
 What would happen to the hat band of the average American leather push CT if he could read about himself in the papers as Carpenter has the pleasure of doing every time he bats an eye. Here is the latest:
 "Carpentier, eh, Bieni We watch him as his intense moments of fight come, and we cannot breathe. Our eyes tremble Yet. our senses thrill with compelling delight The sleek cham pion heralds the supreme moment with his eyes. Ah, those eyes! They open wide, to their fullest extent. They light. An. they blaze with the fierce illumination of terrible iHten- city. What now? He becomes cat like. He moves delicately He poises more gracefully. It is terrible. It is magnificent. The opponent is pre- pared for the onslaught, yes, but also he is intimidated. He knows of his peril. Yet, whence will it come? What must he do to avoid it2 Bouml Bouml the blow has fallen. Descamps dances with joy. Strong men weep and the air echoes with acclaim"
 Maybe Jack Dempsey will think twice before going to Europe after he reads thati
