I.ondon. May 1?. (
.Tack Kearns, manager for Jack
TVempsey, world's heavyweight champion.
and M. Descamps, manager for
the European champion, Georges Carpentier,
started the bail rolling for
another Dempsey-Carpentier bout by
announcing that articles had beer
signed for a return match, to be held
1n Europe before June 23, 1923. But
there is no purse, no promoter's signature
and no acceptable offers have
been received.
The agreement actually amounts to
nothing except that Kearns has promised
Descamps in writing that Carpentier
can have another match
Kcarns told Tub Nkw York Herapl
correspondent that the matter had
been under discussion for a week.
"The Frenchmen." Vie said, "wen
tinder the impression that we wouldn't
give them a fight. We said that wwere
perfectly willing and they said
they wanted it In writing. No promoter
had anything to do with the signing. It
is now up to the promoters to get busy
and put up the cash. Everybody is wel
<-ome to bid. The highest ki?ts the fighl
provided lie Is u reliable party."
Must Krrp WlnnlnK.
K.-urns suld the e-rcement does not
prevent either tf the principals from
fighting in the meantime, but that it
either is defeated tha mHtch la off. Tin
time was fixed for June 23, 1923, becausit
would take nearly that long to male
ai-rungpments. He added that DempBcy
was willing to fight anyway, but thai
he expected the fight to be staged It:
London.
The managers agreed to certain conditions
along the lines of the New Jersey
affair, but a larger ring, probablj
measuring twenty-four feet, will he used
and lighter gloves. It is probable thai
four ounce gloves will be used.
Dugglc Stuart, a prominent eportins
man, says that ho will put up ?75,00(1
for a fight in London, ?60,000 to go tc
Dempsoy, but he was not ready to-day
to cioso the deal, even If considered
acceptable. Kearns promised that
Woods could bid and expects that h*
will make the heat, offer. He thinks
that Ttx Rlckurd also will join In.
British Press Objects.
The announcement of the agreement
came at an inopportune time accordinM
to the best opinion In sporting circles
because of yesterday's "fiasco," and the
press alc-ady Is throwing cold water On
the prospect. The Evening Newt says
that "the British people will view with
mixed feelings the possibility of a second
Dempsey-Oarpentler fight here. The
first contest was easily won toy uempsey
nnil another would be very much like the
meeting between L*wU and Carpentier."
The Pnll Mall Qasette say?: "A few
tnore such unsatisfactory and uneven
matches us that last night will bring
fiRliting again into contempt. We should
think that the performance last night
will have shaken Carpentier from his
pedestal."
The Evening Standard: "The LewiaCnrpentlcr
fight was juet as uneven a
match as that between Dcmpsey and
Carpentier last year."

Dickinson and Khlpway of Princeton
