meet In America for the champion

acceptance last night by Descamps,
manager for Carpentior, of a offer of
a $400,000 purso fcr the bout by
James Coffroth. Dompsey has al
ready accepted Coffroth,'s terms and
all that remains to ensure the meet
ing is the settlement of tho number,
of rounds the men will fight untl di
vision of the purse.
Coffroth's offer was for a bunt go
ing 4 5 rounds but objection to a
fight of this length is expected In the
Carpeptler camp. Carpeniler would
rather have the fight limited to fif
teen rounds or even ten. Descamps
declared last night that if the issue
Is not settled In less than firteen
rounds "neither Ilempsey nor Car
pentier is worthy to bo champion of
the world."
It was indicated Dcscampss would
ask for an even break of tho purse,
holding Carpentier was as great a
drawing card as Dempsey.
