Jack Dempsey's trip to Europe
to fight Georges Carpenter Is MT
likely to m~aterialize. Although
there Is no white opponent In sight
for Dempsey in this country just
now he can do far better by re-
naming here than going abroad
DESPITE the talk Of a Dempsey
CARPENTER match IN England, there
is no demand for such al affair.
At the present time boxing In Eng
land is undergoing q reform spell.
A strong movement is under way
TO reduce the size of the purses. A
fight is on to eliminate guarantees
to the boxers. for they take such
matters more seriously in England
than they do here.
Already Joe Beckett, the most
avaricious of the English boxers,
has seen the light. Joey has
signed to meet George Cook on
March 27. and in Difference to pub
lie demand he has cut out the guar
autv and consented to work on q
percentage basis for the first time
since he won the title.
English sport writers found It
difficult to believe that Dempsey
and Carpenter had been guaran-
teed $500, 600. Right up to the
day Of the fight they insisted that
the big purse was just a lot of
American ballyhoo. and it WINS not
until the cable told Of the Gather
ing Of the tremendous crowd that
,hey believed that 80 much money
actually WAS at take.
Just now there is general rcjcic-
ing in England over the fact that
what they term the crazy season"
is over, and that in the future the
fighters must be satisfied with .

Aside from the difficulty over the
purse there are other reasons why

likely TO take place. Carpenter

PARIS, March 10.-(A. P-)-Georg-
es Carpenter will be confined to his
room for several days following yes
tcrday's operation for an infected
throat. The operation was not seri-
Gus enough to require that he remain
in bed. He plans to take a months
rest in the country before resumins
training for his bout with Ted Lewis,
in London, May II.
Carpenters continuous poor health
since his defeat by Jack Dempsey has
led his friends to believe that the pun
ishnnent he received at that time was
more severe than generally supposed.

lost a great deal of prestige in his
recent affair with Cook, Although
the Frenchman won with a knock
out in four rounds he was much
nearer defeat than the cable told.
He showed that he could not stand
body punishment and that he had
lost much of his speed of hand and
foot.
As for the English heavyweights.
it is doubtful whether any of them
could be dragged into the ring with
Dempsey even for a big losers end.
If the champion was to be match
ed with Beckett or Wells or God
dard there would be a general out
cry against the affair, for English
boxing followers have ceased to
hold decisions In regard TO the
ability of their big men.
It Is q feet that English fans
often become greatly excited over
matches that American fans would
not give more than a passing
thought 10. Il Is so seldom that
they see a real fighter OF the other
side their standard is a great deal
lower than over hero. But the
English fan win not fall for a bunk
match when he knows 1t Is the
bunk as his American cousin does.

The situation in regard to financ-
ing house building in the District
came in for its usual condemnation.
The finance section of the report
concludes:
Seeking abnormal profits in the

from the ground to the home. more

the lack of needed and suitable
housing facilities in the District"
Money lenders who finance home
construction are criticised for their
practises.
Money LendePs' Methods.
Money lenders. enjoying the
backing of bank officials and big
business men. have taken advan-
tage of postwar conditions here
and the dire necessity for home
buying on the part Of persons of
small ready money and no estab-
lished bank rating, to reap uncon-
scionable premiums for the use of
their money. in addition to the rate
of interest allowed by law. They
circumvent the law by calling their
compensation not interest but a
bonus-'a premium beyond usual
interest A claim that they are a
service institution and prompted
by a motive of service is illogi-
cal and untenable in the light OF
the exorbitant price they exact
for such service. a price clearly
not within the law of rightful and
legitimate compensation"
