Well, he'll need the ‘67 varieties’ if he wants to keep from getting picked by one of Dempsey’s wallops. ‘““‘One thing, the Frenchman has in addition-to his speed, experience and some cleverness, “is confidence. He really believes that he can whip ‘the best'man in the world and he’s going to try. Yes, I'do believe, that he will come back and fight Dempsey as . soon as the public gets ready for the match; “That is not right now, however. The Levinsky fight wasn’t framed. Carpentier wouldn’t have to resort to such a thing to beat a sorry has- been. The Battler was scared stiff and he stayed down when he got a good chance. Carpentier won the fight on his merits but it didn’t prove that he is.good enough to meet the champion. ‘There are at least six good -heavyweights in América who could make him extend himself. “Yes, Garpentier has all the confi- dence in the world but that won’t get him much.
