NO douDt TINS Will De q great
summer for sports. Baseball
should enjoy a big year, but
nothing like the boxing game will
enjoy. A few weeks of ballyhoo
and the saps will fall all over one
another to get into a ball yard,
no matter how rotten the yard
may be.
You can lay a bet right now
that even return matches will
draw. You can't expect a cham
pion to fight for less than half a
million, however. That would be
absurd. Can you imagine his
feelings after resting all winter
if he were offered paltry $780,
600 or so?
In the bare knuckle days when
prize fighting was given the same
space in papers that squash is TO-
day, $4,000 was a big purse.
Now that the papers use pages
on boxing, the tin ear boys must
be paid in proportion to the
space given their bouts.

London Lucky for Frenchman.
<<TF that is so, we shall be
disappointed in England
as it seems that the great
wish of boxing enthusiasts al
home is to see Carpenter ex-
tended, and it seems that the
one man to do this is Tom Glib
bons, the crliserweight, who went
the full fifteen rounds with the
great Dempsey.
I'VE have never seen Carpenter
extended in England, which is
vertically happy hunting ground
for the Frenchman, who has
picked up so much easy money ir
London. He is now, of course
very comfortably situated, finan-
cially, but as yet he has no in

What They Think Of 1t in London.
RKR. EUGENE CORR, the
N National Sporting Club ref
Ava cree, has this to say re-
garding a few Of the boxers now
in the public eye:
Carpenter is again consider
ing an offer to fight in America.
This time Tex Richard wants to
match the French champion with
Tom Gibbons, but at the moment
of writing nothing has been def
nitely settled, as Major Wilson
is also anxious to secure the
match.
Carpenter told me, q few days
ago, that he would much rather
fight in London, and the same
thing applies to Gibbons, who
would rather fight on his own
side Of the Atlantic. This being
the case, it is not easy to make
any prediction, though it may be
certain that money will be the
deciding factor. AS bigger purses
are possible in America, 1t looks
as though Tex Rickard will Sc
cure the contest.
