ORTS. - - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Carpentier Expected to Sign Today to Fight Gibbons. : Potomacs to Row in Baltimor RICKARD WOULD STAGE BOUT ON OCTOBER 12 BY FAIRPLAY] N EW YORK, July 7—By tonight boxing fans will have something! new to talk over and srgue about. manager, Descamps, are going to Madison Square Garden this Georges Carpentier and his afternoon and affix their John Heénrys to a contract calling for a twelve- round bout against Tom Gibbons of St. Paul at the Rickard arena in ersey City on Columbus day, October 12. It is understood that pre-| NEW YORK, July 7.—Charley White, iminary arrangements have been effected, sg far at leagt as the French- men are concerned, and that Georges will fight on a per cent of the gross receipts. What Gibbons will demand s not knewn. It he really wants to make a big name for himself and got in line for a battle with Dempsey he will not be too grasping. There has teen lot of scrambled-egg talk about Gibbors” willingness to meet Carpen- tier, but nothing direct has come glther trom Tommy or his manager, ne. Battle Weuld Attract. That the battle would be an at- tractive one, at least from the stand- point of gate receipts. is not to be doubted. Thousands wlil go to see the Frenchman fight who wouldn't go three feet to see any one else box. Rickard would clean up, and so would the fighters. If this battle 1s held it will be the last before the vast amphitheater is torn down. But fans will not have to wait until October to see bouts with- in the glant -inclosure. Tex plans to use the place for three big bouts be- tween now and October. His first date’ is August 1. For this day he wants to put a couple of little fellows in action, preferably Leonard and some strong contender. or Kilbane, if he can be induced to fight. Anyway" it must be a championship affair. Following this may come a Labor day scrap botween Jack Dempsey and a challenger for his title. Tex Rickard thought a lot of the great fight that Bill Brennan made against Dempsey in the Garden last winter and would be willing to bring the two together If the public steams up on the battle—which it probably will not. Just now a Dempsey-Brennan fight would make about as much of a hit with the dear old public as a scrap be- tween Benny Leonard and Joe Wel- ling. As for Willard, the public would no doubt get mildly excited over a go between Jack and the big cowboy. Tex says he is willing to arrange for the scrap, provided Willard will guar- antee to train hard for three months. Maybe Jess would—if the purse looked worth while. Brennan or Willard. Looks as If it would have to be either Brennan or Willard. Tex won't consider Harry Wills or Jack -John- son. Aside from Willard and Bren- nan, then, who is there to meet Demp- sey? Harry Greb is too small; Tommy Gibbons needs more seasoning and anyway is to be hooked up with Car- pentier. Fred Fulton? Don't make us laugh. Bob Martin? Not a chance. nges Georges. A challenge to Georges Carpentier, light-heavy- welght champion of the world, has been issued by Johnny Wilson, mid- dleweight titleholder. Plans Dempsey-J ;))m:on Bout. LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 7.—Capt. J. M.
