McTigue vs. Carp

Unless present plans fail, Mike McTigue of Ireland will defend his world's light-heavyweight title against Georges Carpentier, former champion, in the Yankee Stadium, New York, on July 7.

Promoter Tex Rickard is making the plans. McTigue's manager has signed articles, but Carpentier's Franc,ois Descamps is still dickering with the promoter.

Said McTigue in a letter to his manager: "I am sure I will K. O. Carpentier and then for Tunney. I fooled all the wise fellows here [in Dublin] who thought Siki would K. O. me!"
