Of seeing another member of the

when the Gary team meets the
Singer aggregation this afternoon
on the local diamond. The steel city
squad comes here with a long list
Of victories and are out to annex

The local aggregation has been
playing good ball all season and
have given worthy exhibitions OF
themselves against practically the
best semi-pro teams in the middle
west. Such mines as the Briscoe
Motors. the Chicago progressives and
the MassilOn AgathOns are rated as
the best baseball performers outside
of the big leagues. Although the
visiting team carried away the hon
ors in all but one OF these games II
was only after hard fought battles
which proves that the sewing ma
chine men are almost on equal terms
with the best in the west.
However the Gary nine Is not as
strong as the three teams mentioned
above and a corlking good game
should be on the bill for this after
Moons matinee Sidney Benton will
probably do the mound work for the
locals while the Gary aggregates has
two or three good twirlers ready 20

By International News Service:
LOS ANGELES, Cal, June %


LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 25.-I
believe the chances favor Jack
Dempsey in the big scrap on July 2.
But I want to emphasize that I
feel Carpenter will put up a cork
ing good fight. And want 70 eau
ton the public against expecting too
much of Dempsey.
Carpenter is an awfully hard man
for any scrapper to overcome. Ale
has a good head. He is lightning
fast. He is a clever boxer He is
a mighty dangerous man once he is
inside the ropes, and If he gets the
fight beyond two or three rounds he
is going to worry Dempsey whole
lot.
In fairness to both men, want to
say have never seen either Of them
in action, and as much as regret It
I won't be able TO see the big mill

MIA. But having held the champion
ship and having kept in close touch

Dempsey More Powerful
Dempsey will be able 10 beat his
man to a pulp right from the tap
Of a gong, and he is going to have
a decisive victory. If he lets him
string along for a few rounds the
Frenchman will give the champion
lots of trouble. The longer the fight
goes the more confident will the
challenger become. Here is the way
figure the scrap.
know II I were back at the age
that Dempsey is, and even If had
all the experience that 1 obtained
from fighting the best OF 'em in my
day and had by hulk in the bargain,
I would be pretty cautious against
man Ike Carpenter.
Ny sympathies are with the
American, but believe the French
man il going 20 do a great deal bet

Impressed With Champs
Size and Strength.


ATLANTIC CITY. y. J., June rs
After a "a hour Iayofr to celebrate
his goth birthday Jack Dempsey
swung back into his training grind
today. working for As minutes under
q broiHng sun and before the critical
eyes OF a group Of foreign newspa-
permen corresp ondents. About 1900
persons flOcked into the open air
arena % see the champion in action.
Dempsey perspired through ten
rounds OF actual work although he
only boxed six rounds. He opened
up with a three minute round Of
pulling the weights and then follow
co a round Of shadow boxing. Ed
die O'Hare. the New York middle
weight. stepped the first two rounds
with Dempsey. but it was evident
that the champion was pulling his
punches.
The champion frequently tented
the fast moving O'Hare into open
ings. but did not follow up his ad
vcntages BY punching with his full
force OF his blows except two or
three times. In the second round he
drove couple OF heavy rights inJo
OHare's body and crossed him twice
with a "one-two" punch that shook
the New York 158 FOUNDER TO his
heels. He also drove OHare into a
corner Just as the bell rang for the
close OF the second and crossed him
with a vicious right TO the head.
Larry Williams Careful.
Larry williams, who faced Demp-
sey for the third and fourth rounds.
boxed cautiously, almost too eau
tiously 10 make the champion ex-
tend himself. Williams was knocked
out BY the champion early in the
week and apparently tried to keep
out OF danger this afternoon. Demp-
sey cut loose with some OF his body
srnashes. but at such times williams
was not distressed.
The title holder boxed the last
two rounds with Jack Renault Az
ter cutting the big Canadian heavy
weight around the ring Dempsey
wrestIed for a round with Bull Mon
tana He concluded with some cal
isthenics. After the workout Demp-
sey had healthy flush 10 his skin
and IL was evident that his wind was
good.
Before the workout Dempsey
chatted in his home for a half hour
with the foreign experts and boxing
enthusiasts. In the party were Vic
tor Breyer. editor OF Echo des
Sportes OF Paris: Gasson Benac Of
Paris: Maj. Arnold Wilson, a boxing
promoter and sportsman Of London;

They seemed to be greatly I'm
pressed by the champions personal
ity. Bennison said:
Dempsey is a charming fellow.
We talked about everything except
the fight"
The foreign journalists were i'm
pressed with Dempsey's size and
strength. After watching him work
they agreed that he stripped wonder
fully and was well trained but they
were unable 20 pass judgment on his
boxing ability as they realized Demp-
sey did not work at his best this
afternoon.
