May 7 Steve ONeill O'Neill of the Cleveland Indians one of baseballs baseball's premier catchers and boxer of ability Carpentier will not last six rounds with Dempsey and the fight may be a whole lot shorter than that It all aU depends depends depends de de- on how long he can keep running awa away It will end as soon as Jack can catch up with him I dont don't see where Carpentier has earned the right to fight Dempsey He lIe hasn't whipped anybody worth while He lie could not hold his own with Tommy Gibbons who to my way of thinking is the logical opponent for Dempsey By JESS WILLARD LAWRENCE Kan May 7 Jess Jess Willard Willard Wil- Wil lard former heavyweight champion Of the world I I dont don't know who will win Im busy drilling for oil and haven't paid much attention to the fight I r have never seen Carpentier in action and I without actual knowledge of his ability I could not predict a winner
