CARPENTIER'S RETIREMENT.

Writing m the Paris edition of the "New York Herald" "Sparrow" says: "Jack Curley well-known American sporting promoter, who has been Jri : Europe :',fpr' the past two .months, Is now in* Paris. Jack spent a short time at Carpentier's training quarters, 'and he reports that the champion i-3 m fine heallh and- that he is putting m some hard work getting into shape for the Siki bout. Carpentier told Curley that the story about his retirement, as published m the ,'New York Herald,' is correct. Carpentier says he has been m boxing game since he was thirteen years of age, and is beginning to tire of it. "When Carpentier was asked if ; he cared to go to America, again, he said, 'Yes, but not as a fighter.' He said he would like to spend a lot of time at Los Angeles,' the moving pictures centre, if he makes another trip across. Carpentier will fight Siki, then -the winner of the Moran-Beckett jjo, after that— although- he says he does not care to. fight— if he goes to America „ again, ttnd if he should decide again to box there, I am under the impression that any contest he may- take part m will be under the auspices of Jack Curley, who will run the light proceedings at the new Stadium of the -Yankees m New York, -a place that wjill .ftaVe-a, .arig capacity of close tq 80,000."
