GEORGES ONCE AGAIN CLIMBS THROUGH ROPES Meets Cook of Australia in Scheduled 20-Round London Bout. HOUSE IS SOLD OUT Koto—The difference in time between .London and Indianapolis Is six hours. By CHARLES M’CANN. United Press Staff Correspondent. LONDON, Jau. 12. —Europe’s Beau Brummel of the ring and me "bush boy” of Australia are scheduled to get together here tonight when Georges Carpentier and George Cook climb through the ropes In Albert Hall The heavyweight champion of Europe and the title bolder of Australia will light twenty rounds to a decision as the feature of a show that will be presented to a packed house by Major Arnold Wilson. premier English promoter. It will be tho first ring appearance ol Carpentier since be was defeated by Jack Demnsey last July and his first battle in iwo years on British soil. It will also be the debut of Cook in European boxing circles. Carpentier is the favorite at odds of about (i to 4, with some plungers offering the long odds of 3 to 1. Seats sold for from $5 to S3O and every reserved ducat has been gone since before Dec. 8, the date originally scheduled for the contest. The bout was after Carpentier became ill Ikd said he could not get into condition. ■The opinion is expressed rather generally that Carpentier is morally and physically hurt since his meeting with Dempsey and that any man near his own size and weight who can get into him with body punches has an excellent chance to beat him. Physically Carpentier has it on the Australian in height and reach and In waist measurement, but otherwise Cook is his superior. Carpentier himself is extremely confident and said today he believed he would win within three or four rounds.

DEMPSEY MAY BOX IN EUROPE LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 12.—Don’t be at all surprised If Champion Jack Dempsey, who is now In Los Angeles, makes a European tour and take3 on all comers on the other side of the pond. Jack Kearns, manager and pal of the champion, has the Idea of a European tour in his head. Scarcity of opponents for Dempsey In America Is what started Kearns thinking of visiting Europe and he has visions of pulling down considerable money and at the same time seeing the country. “A pleasure trip through Europe taking on all comers would be a lark for Dempsey," said Kearns today. “He would go over with the Idea of taking on any fighter any promoters wanted to send against the champion. Every European tighter would be in the set-up class. I’ll venture that we could grab off Bombardier Wells and Joe Becket in England. “Maybe this fellow Cook, the Australian, who boxes Carpentier late today is the goods and perhaps the Frenchman would like another chance.
