HIS MIND Georges Carpentier May Again Chal- lenge Jack Dempsey for Heavy- weight Title. New York, July 16.—Notwithstand- ing his defeat by Jack Dempsey in Jersey City on July 2 Georges Car- pentier, it is reported in boxing circles here will seek a return match for the championship believing that by adopting an open style of battle he may be able to win. In a statement made at his train- ing camp after the Jersey City.match Carpentier said he would fight any man'in the world excepting Dempsey but his closest friends now say that he has changed his mind. Georges cisobeyed the orders of his advisors and forced the fight with the cham- pion, and therein, it is claimed, he made his biggest mistake. Should Georges again be matched with Dempsey and the bout held in New York state where boxing rules permit 15 rounds to a decision, he might win the championship by outpointing Dempsey. Carpentier's friends believe that he is clever enough to bo:: Dempsey and stay away for 15 rounds.
