MANHASSETT, N. Y, July 1.-
Whistling an American war song,
Georges Carpenter tripped up the
stairs of his training camp residence

'Good-night'' to his comrades and
jumped into bed.
Throughout the day the challenger
was light hearted. There was al
ways a song on his lips and smile
on his face. Late in the afternoon
he left his chair on the front porch
to play ball with crowd of boys in
the roadway. He seemed oblivious
of the fact that his chance at the
long desired worlds heavyweight
championship was less than "A hours
away.
Fight talk was under the ban. The
challenger braved a heavy rain at
reyeille today and was soaked to the
skin when he returned from the road
three quarters of an hour later.
Georges was given a good rub down
and was swathed in blankets. He
stayed indoors until after lunch. then
went to the porch and his camp
chair.
"There will be no fooling tomor-
row." said Francois Descamps

. We expect to win over Georges Car

will not be surprised if Dempsey
stops him in the first round This,
of course, depends upon the style
adopted by Carpenter.
The Dempsey who will defend his
title as worlds champion is the fast
est, hardest hitting, gamest heavy
weight who ever stepped inside of a
ring. After the fight is over L think
everyone who saw it will agree with
me.
Dempsey is in better condition than
he has ever been in. He has trained
hard and faithfully and l never felt
more confident of winning a fight. /
am convinced that he will beat Car
pentier and do it decisively: the
champion is bigger and stronger and
even a greater fighter than when he
defeated Willard two years ago.
Dempsey is in great shape and will
do his best and if beaten will have
no excuse to offer.
