DEMPSEY AND CARPENTER EXPECTED TO STAGE ANOTHER
 FIASCO BEFORE YEAR IS OUT
Will Be Held in England Probably as "GO" Would Not Take Very We'll Over H e r e Again.

Jack Dempsey and Georges Car pentier will fight a return match for the heavylweight championship of the world in England beforethe year IS out.
 This prediction is not based upon definite announcement by parties i'm mediately concerned in arranging the battle In fact, every one is keeping quiet about this affair. A lot of wind has been blowing from England and Trance of late, and 1t is not difficult to follow the direction Tn which the Straws are futtering. It IS not too much to say that at the present time srong propaganda for a Dempsey Carpenter battle is being spread broadcast in France and England.
 An announcement of one tangible fact may be made at this time. A syndicate of English sportsmen has, been organized, the members of which have pledged themselves to contribute a $I5o,ooo purse. They have already prepared plans for the building ot stadium at New Castle with capa- city of 100000 spectators. While Jack Kearns, Dempseys' manager, has nothing to say about this and does
 
 it, one may safely wager that he does know lot about it.
 Now for another tangible fact, a statement from Carpenter himself, an authentic statement and the only authentic statement from him tha has come this country since he left here last summer.
 T did not suspect" he said, after my experiences in Jersey City last July, that 1 would persist in my quest fo rthe biggest prize to be won, but now l am just as keen on trying tor it as after my defeat of Beckett"
 The writer is reliably informed that Carpenter made this statement at a luncheon rendered the French boxer by the French ambassador to Great Britain, Count de Saint-Aulaire, at which prominent English sports writ CTS were present At this time Car meeting Ted (Kid) Lewis in March in London, this bout to be followed by a second attempt to capture the worlds heavyweight title.
 Mai. Arnold Wilson of London is interested in bringing the two fighters together. His idea is that the bout shall be held in a 2o-foot ring with four-ounce gloves.
 It is believed on the other side that Carpenters defeat was due solely to the fact that he was lured into a ring too small for him and that he was forced to come to Dempsey instead of using his skill and speed in keep ing away unti la good chance to land Dempsey with the famous right.
 Parisians are wild over the idea of another battle and would probably desert their country almost in a body to see the two men fight in England. At the Trocadero recently, where Carpenter and Jimmy Wilde appear cd in an exhibition bout in aid of a wild reception in which he was hailed as the coming champion of the world.
 British experts are sitting on the propaganda stuff in good style. Car pentier," says one, always stands very good chance of beating the best of them, even Dempsey in a return meeting"
 "It is we'll known" says another British writer, "that most of the in jury which Dempsey administered to the French boxer in the fight last July would not be possible under con- ditions suggested for the second meeting, Carpentier would now box under conditions which he under stands, as compared with those which he obtained in most matches in America" How is that for bunk?
 Maj. Arnold Wilson, by the way, went to France from London with Carpenter and Descamps.
 Finally here's another tip. It is re- ported that Tex Rickard may hop over to England in March when he closes the garden for a six weeks period. Couple this rumor with Jack Kearns' statement that he will match Dempsey with Carpenter in Europe if Tex Rickard has hand in the match. Catch it?
 It is said that Edison will devote the remainder of his life to making a new questionnaire with real stumpers as, who gave Battling Levinsky his first chance, and where did Unk Rus sell learn Greek, and who was the first fighter to declare that purses were too high?
