City Chamber of Commerce yesterday

creed that boxing is legitimate amuse-

standpoint the Chamber Of Commerce
can see no difference between the estab-

capable OF producing more than 81, O00.-
600 revenue for the people OF our city.
Ie the members of the Clergymen's Com

sey City Chamber of Commerce feels
that they should direct their attention

lature and endeavor to have that body

legal I'm this State"
In answer to the clereymen's charge
that the fight would draw "bruiser''

Commerce said that boxes have been
reserved for the Prince of Wales, J.

Champion Will To-day Start
for His Quarters at At

BY CHARLES #. MArHIsoN.

Jack Dempsey completed his preliml-

day lie punched the bag for the last
time. played his final game of tennis
with Freddie Welsh. took last look

the Watching range and then started
for this city. The champion will en-
train to-day for Atlantic City. and at
this seashore resort will finish his
preparation for the battle. with Car
pentier in Jersey City July ?.
Dempsey received word from his man

Instructions
The weather was a handicap to out
door work at the Welsh farm yester-
day. and. barring a road run, u tennis
game that was interrupted BY the rain
and Bit of bag punching and shadow
boxing. the champion did little.
In his work at Summit the champion
has accomplished all that he expected
to. lie Inhaled plenty Of fresh air. took
on considerable flesh. ioosened his
muscles and got into condition that will
enable him at the proper time to do
the hard work required previous to ring
time.
Freddie Welsh. who has watched the
champion closely, said:
Dempsey has laid good foundation
for his future work in preparation for
the fight. He has a lot of excess weight
to work on. and Il he delays hard work
till month before the battle there IS
no danger of him going stale. as he did
previous TO the fight with Brennan.
TO me Dempsey looks to be in rugged
health, and care in his training should
send him into the ring in excellent con-
dition.'
Therefore. the only question at issue
now is as to how the champion con-
ducts himself at Atlantic City, resort
noted for its liveiness.
Stranger Lewis worlds wrestling
champion. and Stanislaus Zbyszko are
ready waiting for call to the ring of the

matched as TO height and weight but
Zbyszko will step on the mat weighing
at least ten pounds less than Lewis.

Lewis is much younger man than
Zbyszko but the latter possesses Won

offset the disparity in age. Ten years
ago Zbyszko was the next best man to
Frank Gotch, and defeated all other
rivals but the late champion. He went
to Europe and returned year ago in

worked himself into superior physical

cussing yesterday the probability OF

Until the cablegram from Mr.. Rudd is
received cannot speak authoritatively,"
said Mr.. Murray, but unofficially II is
no secret that such a meeting Is proba
bic. II might be held on Saturday, July
90. or some approximate date. College
will close about the middle OF June and
we could not hold our athletes In train
ing until the last of July. but II would
be possible 70 permit them n vacation
at home and then recall them for n
short period OF training.
Tho location for the games would be
n matter for careful consideration.
Princeton In midsummer would hardly
be the place TO stage such an important
and interesting event. New York city
would appear at first glance as the
logical scene OF such an international
competition. but these details will hinge
upon the Interpretation Of the cable
from Mr. Rudd."
