Carpentier gracefully . acknowl- edyeu the wild applause when intro- duced. Another storm of applause of far greater volume broke out when Beckett stepped in the ring and ac- knowledged the plaudits in his honor.

When ecen by an Evening World reporter at the Hotel | Biltmore to-day Mr. Rickard had this to say relative to a bout in the United States between Carpentier and Demp- sey: “I might go into the boxing game again and promote @ fight here be- tween Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, the Frenchman, providing that Carpentier decides to come to this country. I am not eure whether Carpentier would care to come here and box Dempsey, but if he does I will be on the watch and might offer the men @ purse which I think would be suitable to them. “Of course I would first have to hear from Dempsey and his manager in regards to the amount of money they would want for the fight and also get word from Carpentier and manager. “If they would not demand too|lo much of course I would be in the field competing for the contest. I really think that a bout between Car- pentier and Dempsey would make a great fight. Carpentier is one of those shifty, clever fellows who can keep away, and I really believe that any fighter that can stay away from Dempsey for a few rounds will make @ great fight with him. I knew be- fore the fight that Carpentier was going to defeat Beckett, for Jimmy Wilde told me before he went West that Carpentier was a wonderful fighter and that he would surely beat Beckett in a few rounds, as he is a wonderful puncher while Beckett was slow at getting started.” Jack Kearns before leaving this Wilde May Get Fooled When He Meets Sharkey The first real international battle fought in this country since Bom- to-morrow night at Milwaukee, when Jimmy Wilde, the sensational Welsh flyweight, will box Jack Sharkey, the lad who got all his schooling in this city, r lf Wilde thinks he ‘picked a soft one for his American debut he ts almost sure to be fooled as much as Joe Beckett was by Georges Carpen- tier, Sharkey, whose name belies his natidnality, Is an east side Italian who has been fighting about five years, In the days when he first donned gloves at Bill Brown's Gym on 23d Street he was regarded a lad who liked to “retire,” ag they say in dear old England, when the pace got too hot.

Dom- |inick Tortorich, the big fight pro- moter of that city who stages bouts at the Louisiana Auditorium, which is an open air arena which accom- modates over 20,000 persons, is after the match and the chances are that Tortorich will cable Carpentier an offer to come here and fight Dempsey. ee Mrs. Callahan Wants Yale to LAWRENCE, Mass., Dec.
