RICKARD LIKELY TO LAND BOUT Carpentier's Manager States That American Promoter Has Demp sey's Signature for Bout New Tork, Feb. 11. (U. P.) ?I have nothing to say at this time," Tex Rlckard said here today when asked about the announcement of M. Descamps, manager of Georges Carpentier, that he was almost sure of landing the Dempsey-Carpentler fight.

All the persons who are claim ing options on the Frenchman's services are not correct. For Instance. Theodore Vlenne, Paris, and William Fox.

TO MAKE TOUR Carpentier's prosram In the United States calls first for a trip to California, where he mill be engaged In motion pic ture work, and will strive to master the Kngllsh language. On May S we are to start a 10 weeks' exhibition tour In vaux deville. This should allow us to iret acclimated and by the time the exhibi tion tour is completed all details of the championship fight will have been set tled. "We will then deride whether to re turn to France to train for the firht or to remain In the United States. Mean while, I would not be surprised to hear that Dempsey would come to Europe.

He has good reasons for not signing: before the end of February. William A. Brady will make the necessary arrangements in my behalf." "How about Carpentler?" "He's bound to me for the rest of this year and part of 1921. His ("hare of the money is to be 20,000 pounds and an additional 1000 pounds for expenses. Dempsey's share will be $200,000.

Neil Zimmerman, Earl Zimmerman and Pa Zimmerman will be pitted against Harold Jones, Morgan Jones and Pa Jones. This Is the way they will be paired : Nell versus Harold, lightweights; Earl versus Morgan, featherweights, and Pa Zimmerman against Pa Jones,, any old weight. Pa Zimmerman and Pa Jones will not wear boxing gloves. They will be chief seconds in the respective corners of their battling families and glare at each other and wonder how some men can have such boobs for sons. In meeting Harold Jones, Neil Zim merman, Portland's most promising lightweight, will be biting off the big gest fiatic chunk he has ever attempted to digest. Harold Jones, not long ago. aa under the watchful eye of Chet Mo- lntyre and was being groomed for Coast championship honors. Then Harold ran into Peter Mltchie at the Heilig theatre here and lost his championship aspira tions. The Zimmerman boys will be In bet ter shape for this battle than for any of their previous fights. Both have been trained by Dick Dusenberry, the man who pilots McCormlck to victory. At that the sky. pilot's young hopefuls tiive difficult tasks ahead of them this this week. The two boys are fighting at Mllwaukie tonight, and will leave to morrow for Seattle to meet the Jones family.
