NERVES" FAIL TO
BOTHER CHAMPIONS
COrbett Says Dempsey and
Carpenter Both Have
Them Under Control.
BY JAMES j. CORBETT.
By International News Service:

By International News Service
NEW YORK, June 15.-"Tve
been hearing and reading quite bit
Of comment ABOUT occasional dis
plays of nerves" by Georges Car
pentier and Jack Dempsey. Like
many others who are recording the
progress of the rival boxers in train
ing, I have visited both camps, yet
so far I have failed to notice any
thing unusual in this way.
From my own experience and
from what I have observed in years
of following boxing I have never yet
seen a topnotch boxer who did not
show a touch of temperament at
times and 1 fail TO see why any par
ticular importance should be at
tached to such a thing. If Dempsey
were to plod along in his daily rou-
tine, showing no more individuality
than a truck horse, or If Carpenter
drifted along from day to day with
never flash Of imr atience. taking
everything as It came TO him with
! the patience of a mich COW, there
/ would be reason for comment.
Something would be wrong
Both Full of Nerves.
Dempsey and Carpenter are both
( full OF nerves. Certainly they are.
/ If they were not they would not be
where they are today. They are like
/ thoroughbred race horses. dancing
at the barrier and eager to tear into
I the stretch. The nervols energy that
\ is in them. with their wonderfully
muscled bodies TO obey its COM
mand. makes them great fighters
Babe Ruth. for instance, has
nerves. Babes nervous tempera-
ment asserts itself at the moment
/ he crashes into a baseball for a
home run. He is keyed up. eye.
mind and muscle working in perfect
/ coordination as the pitch whizzes
\ up TO the plate and in the instant
that determines whether he will
swing on the pill or not, his nervous
voltage is uppermost.
Nervous energy Will be uppermost

July .. After they receive final

and Il will not surprise me 10 see
Jack give more outward evidence OF
nerves on July than his opponent.
I say this simply because I believe
DENY sey capable OF being keyed u

No great fighter could be a great
fighter without nerves.

Bentley is the big individual star
in the big minor organiza ton.
He is the Babe Ruth gate at
traction around the circuit.
SO far this season he has made
over so hits. Half of them have
been for extra bases.
Last year he used to whale away
at the first ball pitched expecting
to see it sail over the barriers.
Now he is sticking TO team play.
His batting mark thus far is over
$40.
Besides being the most dangerous
hitter in the league he is a star first
baseman and ranks as the best
southpaw in the minors.

Now the Page wearing the silver
star on his hat stepped near to the
throne and the fairies came forward
with their gifts.
Ii was the custom of 1.-The Queen
when she attended a festival To bestow
a favor on the one whose gift pleased
her the most, but this yellow Toes
knew nothing about: she had thought
only OF giving to her Queen gift that
would please her and Of winning her
smile.
And now the moment had come for
her to present her gift; she stood by
the throne before her Queen, and re-
moving the cobweh, yellow Toes knelt
and with outstretched arms offered a
huge bouquet of her choicest golden
field flowers.
Their color almost dazzled the Queen
as she reached for the gift. This is
the sift that pleases me the most the
Queen said, and Yellow Toes raised her
eyes and saw the wonderful smile for
which she had wished.
yellow Toes has brought mS a
bouquet of her choicest flowers, ali she
possessed, and as a reward / shall
weave 1t into a flower of gold TO bloom
in the green fields and grass OF all the
earth.'
And this is the story the fairy folk
tell of the flower we call the dande-
lion. IL was made from the houaue,
that the fairy, Yellow Toes, presented
to the Queen.
