New York, June 3. -- While Jack Dempsey was in Europe he made plans to return next September and to begin the ballyhoo business over the projected battle with Carpenter. Among the details which came to hand today is the engagement of Bom mbardier Wells as sparrin> partner for preliminary series or music hall exhibitions.
 Dempsey could not have picked a better sparring partner. so far as popularity with the British public is concerned Everybody who is any body can knock Wells out, but he is a fine, handsome chap. clever with his hands and has personality which attracts. After the music hall tour. Dempsey will enter upon three months course of training for Car pentier. His headquarters will be al the house of James White in Epson.
 His housekeeper while training is likely to be Dempsey's real mother this time. For he plans upon his next trip across the ocean to take both Pa and Ma Dempsey with him..
 If will be interesting to see Just how much enthusiasm the well-known methods of Kearns. Descamps and company will be able to arouse over the return battle One thing IS cer- tain, they will have to overcome the influence of a press which Just now is decidedly adverse. The London experts can't see that fight in any shape or form. and they have been banning it ,~Sth all the strength Of their hard-hitting typewriter fingers.
 Adverse to Bout
 Punch. the well-known London Observer critic, says that If return match between Dempsey and Car pentier is a good one. then so is one between Ted Lewis and the French man.
 If the London public is gulled." he says, into accepting this proposed battle as a championship fight. in which Carpenter holds chance of victory, then they will get what they deserve--a repetition of the Jersey City affair, although. of course, the snectacle would be of much longer duration seeing that such a strong friendship has sprung up between the two principals and their managers.
 "The public gathers it's impressions on such matters from the press. and if is surely the duty of boxing critics to speak out honestly and strenuously to oppose this match which is not sporting event at all.
 Cfltic PessImissic
 "Grislet." in the Referee" says that there is no indication that this match will leave the British public anything but cold. Moreover. he doubts if any British promoter would have the nerve to attempt to offer the proposed pures of 10000 pounds. Film pictures of the Carpenter Lewis battle in London are said to show very clearly that when Lewis wax knocked out he was turning to the referee with his hands down, in answer to some remark by the arbiter. It was then that the Frenchman sniped him. Up to that time Georges body had been plastered at will by Lewis and he had also cut Carpen- tiers face and caused his lip to bleed. Carpenters action is regarded on tho other side as a shade in the Legitimate limit but 1t is certain when the British public see the films and realize just what happened that they win boo and roar justas lustiiy as the crowd at the ringside ths night of the fight.
