CARPENTIER MAY TRY A COME-BACK French Fighter, Now Dancing And Singing. Mav Challenge Tunney By George Kirksey VP Staff Correspondent Now York, Mar. 8.- From Algeria where Georges Carpentier is singing . and dancing in a music hall comes word that the Frenchman may at empt another comeback. In any othe: field of endeavor this announcement might be laughed off. ! but the taxing world and its ways re- I main incredulous. For speculation’s sake, a battle be ; ween Gene Tunney and Georges i Carpentier, say in London, might ! prove as good a box-office attraction I as a Tunney-Risko bout in this co.m- > try. Regardless of Carpentier's worth as a fighter he has more color than the present pack of challengers and a couple of dabs of color will cover a multitude of fighting sins. Jack's Dempsey's announcement of retirement has put new life into “gorgeous Georges." Strange as it may seem. Carpentier is still heavyweight champion of France, and the three boxers whom he holds in most • disdain are his three most persisten challengers. One of the most remarkabe fighters of all time.
