DEMPSEY AND CARPENTIER

LONDON, May 6. Carpentier, interviewed at Paris on the eve of hs departure, said he was delighted at the prospect of meeting Demp^y in a few weeks. He was not the least bit afraid of this killer of men. "I am/" he said, "fully determined to prove I am not- always meek i as a lamb." I do not want to prophecy' as to the duration of the fight, but my i method is to find tv weak point in my opponent as quickly as possible." Deschamps said he regretted having to refuse the Sydney Stadium offer of £20,000. Carpentier wa? very anxvms to visit Australia, but firstly the present time is inopportune, and secondly the financial terms were not interesting. He could get the satne amount for one match'in Europe as was offered from Australia.
