San Francisco, June 17.—Georges Car- pentier will be given ome week to_de- cide whether he wants to fight Jack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight championship on or before Labor Day, and if he does not meet this demand it “must be taken for granted that he does not want to meet the champion” Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, said here today. ““This putting the match over until he returns from Burope does not satisfy us. “We will give Carpentier one week to say whether he wants to fight Dempsey on or zefore Labor Day. If he doesn’t want to fight then Dempsey will start a campaign among the ther heavy- weights of the world.” WORKOUTS LIGHT FOR YALE CREWS YESTERDAY Gales Ferry, Conn, June 17—The Yale crews were out both morning and afternoon teda despite the rainy weather.
