BIG BOXING.
THE MONEY KINGS.
New York, July 8
Messrs Kearns, Curley, Carpentier, Descamps and Bradj- held a conference with the aim of arranging a contest between Dempsey and Carpentier. The conference did not result in any decision, and it is virtually certain that no bout can be staged before 1921. The , outstanding facts were as follow:—Kearns said Dempsey had to fight in no place but the United States. Brady who represents Mr. Cocnran (British sporting promoter) pointed out that the contract between Cochran and Carpentier until tne ist. January 1921, excludes any meeting between Dempsey and Carpentier until the New Year, unless under Cochran’s promotion. Cochran desires to stage a battle in Europe. Descamps said Carpentier would gladly meet Dempsey in Paris or London in November or December. Curley who arranged a bout between Carpentier and “Battling” Levinsky for October 1920, refused to release both men, although Kearns offesed a handsome bonus. Kearns said he would therefore await the outcome of the Levinsky battle before arranging a bout between Dempsey and Carpentier..
