CARRENTIER CONFIDENT. STADIUM OFFER REFUSED. AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. LONDON, May 6. C’arpentier, interviewed at Paris on the eve of his departure for -America, said he was delighted at the prospect of meeting Dempsey in a few weeks. He was not the least hit afraid of this “killer of men.” “ { am,” he said, “ fully determined to prove I am not always as meek as a lamb. Ido not want to prophesy as to the duration of the fight, but my method is to find a weak point in my opponent as quickly as possible.”, Deschamps said he regretted having to refuse the Sydney Stadium offer of twenty thousand sterling. Carpentier was very anxious to visit Australia ; but firstly, the present time was inopportune, and secondly the financial terms were not interesting. He could get the same amount for one match in Europe as offered from Australia.
