' pie provision is made for the shift
ing of the contest to another city in

Xfonv m.inaiTria1 and lefral OBSta
" cles had to be overcome before the
- match could! be made, because of the
various contracts which one ot the
ether of the pugilists ha previously
Carpentier was under an ironclad
contract to Charles Cochran ot J-on-
T .Inn nnt tn eian with anv other DTO
noter before January , 1921. , Rick
crd has held Dempsey's signature to
fight for- him-for some months and
. it became apparent that the national
vjieavyweight battle, could not be ar
ranged for months to come, unless
the two promoters joined forces.
This was finally accomplished by
Brady, who had acted in the capacity
of Cochran's American representar
tive until the latter arrived here re
cently to complete the details, per
' ionally.
Ringside1 eats $200. i ,
While it it understood that the
promoters are counting upon a
record gate in order to tarry the
burden of the huge purse involved,
the motion picture receipts are ex
pected to prove the greatest' revenue
' in the long run. It had .been es
flmntrH that if the bout is held in
Madison Square Garden, box seats
around the ringside-'Would' sell for
nearly $uu eatu, wuh umci
and positions ranging downward in
nmnnrttrn '
The total receipts from the motion, !
, rpiptures of the . fight, especially11
, should Carpentier win, will bi worth
' millions abroad, where he is a
European hero. While films could
be taken of the contesLin. the Gar
- Men, the pictures could not be shown
throughout the United States unless
the present laws are changed.
Carpentier will leave for TFrance
. . within the next 10 dayi to . spend
the Christmas holidays wih his
family, but it is part of hisplan to
return to America early in the new
yeaf and begin training for his con
1 , test with Dempsey. Neither .boxer
will be permitted under the contract
to compete in the ring previous to
the coming battle, although exhibi
tions of short duration will not be
prohibited. ' - ,
' The numbfer of rounds, the place
of battle and the exact date are
ci.Kir't tn discussion of the oromo-
ters, who are to inform the princi
pals at least 50 days betore tne con
test. Each fighter receives a 25 per
r.n riffht in th motion nicture orof-
' - its, the other 50 per cent going to
- the promoters.

The bout will be conducted by
Tex Rickard, Charles Cochran of
London and William A. Brady, the
