DEMPSEY WILL MEET CARPENTIER

BT LUTHER A. HUSTON 'STAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. N. SERV1CI1 CHICAGO. Aug. 24 Jack Dempsey. heavyweight ccamplon. has agreed to flsht Georges Carpenller, the French champion, for the world's heavyweight title, under the. ausptcs of Tex Kickard. who promoted the "Will&rd-Demp-ey fight at Toledo in which the chamP'oa won his title. Although no contract has been signed, a "gentlemen's agreement" between Rickard and Jack

Kearns, Dempsey's manager, has been entered Into, according to an exclusive

statement given the International News.

Service by Kearns today. ""We have closel with Rlckard with the Carpentler match." Kearns said. Wa have also closed with Rlckard for the Brennan f.gHt and when Dempaey meets either Carpentler or Brennan It will be under Rlckard's auspices. The agreement was reached several days ago. "No definite date has been fixed but Rlckard has been given a certain length of time I do not care to eay now In which to obtain Carpentler'a consent to fight Dempsey. The amount which Dempsey will receive for the fighting, and I do not care to make that public either at this time, has been agreed upon." Kearns said the t!m period given Rlckard to arrange the match Is sufficient to permit all necessary negotiations. Asked regarding- the contract which C. B. Cochran, the British promoter, has with Carpentler which binds the Frenchman to fight Dempsey only for Cochran. Kearns declared he believes Klckard already has obtained this contract. "Carpentler came to this country and eald his only purpose was to 'make a little tcovie picture and fight Meeetalre Dempsey,' " Kearns declared. "He has made his 'movie picture' and has gone back to France, but he Is coming back to the V. S. and we are going to give him a chance now to prove ha Is In earnest about fighting 'Meestalr Dempsey.'

The proposed Carpentler-Battling

Levlnsky f.ght, Kearns believes, never will taie place. He confidently expects that upon his return to this country the French champion will complete negotiations with Rickard for a fight for the world's title and will not Jeopardize his chances by meeting any other American scrapper. No location for the Carpentler-Demp-ey f.ght has been agreed upon, declared Kearns. In view of Rickard's recent acquisition of Madison Square Garden, in New York, however, it is regarded as likely that the ancient garden will be called upon, to furnish the setting for the battle.
