New York. Feb. 25.-Jack Kearns,
manager of Jack Dempsey, now has in
hand several definite propositions from
European promoters for matching the
heavyweight champion. In line with
the recent statements in this column
that the Dempsey and Carpenter fight
in England is strong possibility, two
of these offers involve the French
champion. The financial terms pre-
sented to Kearns read very we'll in
deed As matter of fact, more money
is promised in these offers than any
country except through a fight with
Harry Wills.
Kearns knows and every other wise
man knows that battle with Wills is
impossible and that it would be a
sucker fight anyway. Wills has gone
back. and under the rules governing
hitting in clinches which would obtain,
the colored man would not have Chi
naman's chance There is every pros
pect now that Kearns will book pas
sage shortly for Dempsey. couple of
good sparring partners and himself for
April sailing. Then the fireworks will
start on the other side.
Miles Real Heavyweight.
From across the water comes the
gist of interesting dope from that globe
trotting western sportsman Harry
Dime. Dime says that after Carpen-
tier slows away Ted kid Lewis in
April he will face demand by the
French that he meet Marcel Miles.
Miles, who is real heavyweight. has
been laying the French heavies away
in workmanlike fashion lately. He
has beaten Lequenne. so-called "cham-
pion of the north" whatever that may
mean. Stuber, former champion of the
French army. Battling Smith, cham
pion of the American army OF occupa-
ton. Jeff Dehaus. the Belgian heavy
weight. Dan McGoldrck, Guardsman
Penwill and Paul Hams.
Miles has become very popular with
the Partisan fight fans The French
think Carpenter can take him, but they
are not so certain of this that they do
not wish to see the two men meet. AS
for Battling Sikh, the Senagatez negro
who was holy terror to the French
fans while ago, he recently tackled
Paul Journes. well known over here
and was lucky to get the decision in
IS rounds. Even the French realize
that Journee is not so much. so Sikh
is no longer a fearsome figure on the
European fistic horizon.
CARPENTER Acclaimed,
However, the big white haired boy
of the boulevards of Paris still is Car
pentiar. His victory over George
Cook has restored him to the place he
occupied before Dempsey crashed him
for row of tool sheds. and talk as
you please, this goes for London too.
What would happen TO the hat band
of the average American leather push
er 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:
Aha! Ze Supreme Moment.
Carpenter. bieni we watch as his
intense moments of fight come and we
cannot breathe. Our eyes tremble.
Yet our senses swell with compelling
delight. The sleek champion heralds
the supreme moment with his eyes.
All. those eyes, they open wide to their
fullest extent. They light. All, they
blaze with the fierce illumination OF
terrible intensity. What now? He be-
comes eatlike. he moves delicately. He
poises more gracefully. 1t is terrible.
1t is magnificent The opponent is
prepared for the onslaught yes But
also he is intimidated He knows OF
his peril vet whence will it come?
What must he do to avoid it? Boum.
Boum. the blow has fallen. Des-
Camps 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 that
