(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received December 2, 9.440 a.m LONDON, Nov. 29
Joe Beckett, the English boxer, and Georges Carpcntier will meet next Thursday. The contest is exciting extraordinary interest. The newspapers arc publishing long descriptions of Beckett's training at Southampton, where the public are lionising him, and are confident that he will win.
Little is known regarding Carpenter, who is training secretly at Stanmore. His party is fully satisfied, and is equally confident of success.
There is a great rush for seats, which are practically all sold at prices ranging from £5 to £35. There is now only standing room available at £5 ss.
