BOXING WORLD
MATCHING CAEPENTIER. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received July 10, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 9. Kearns, Curley, Carpeniier, Descamps and Brady 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 the Dempsey, fight could not take place in the United States. Brady, who represents Cochran, pointed out that the contract between Cochran and Carpentier held good till January Ist 1921, and precluded any "meeting between Dempsey "and Carpentier until the new year unless under Cochran's promotion. Cochran desires to stage the battle in Europe. Descamps said Carpentier would ' gladly meet Dempsey in Paris or London in November or December. Curley, who arranged the bout between Carpentiov and Battling licvinsky in October, 1920, refused to release both men, although Kearns offered a handsome bonus.- Kearns said he would therefore await the outcome of the Levinsky battle before arranging the Dempsey-Carpcntior bout.
