 New York, June 27-This is wind up" week at Manhasset and Atlantic City. Champion Jack Dempsey and Challenger Georges Carpenter have but four days more to prepare for They are practically through train will do more than light work-just enough to keep on edge-and Thurs day will be the last day on which either will don a glove
 Both the champion and his chaI- lenger are in good condition. I have seen both men in action recently. Dempsey looks fine. His stomach looks good, too. l think he has trained seriously. l will know more about that-everyone wiIl-after a round or two.
 Carpenter is in fine shape and his morale is perfect-better, I believe than that of the cham pion. I'd bet my life on Georges condition and I think that he will enter the ring highly confident. In fact, the closer the day of the fight approaches the more Hghthearted Carpenter seems. To me this is a good sign.
 Dempsey's Wind.
 I've read some talk about Demp- sey's wind not being the best. If this is true I have failed to notice it. Working out under the hot sun in Atlantic City is no easy thing for a fellow when he works fast as Demp- sey has been doing. Under such conditions he cannot get enough air breathing through his nose and he does quite bit of breathing through his mouth. I used to do

he other day.

Dig at Promoters. pentier's training at ManhaSset is not the Frenchman's idea; it is the pro motors who are paying for the police and barb wire entanglementS to keep the public away and from knowing 2 what a, big fake the Frenchman is as championship contender, Brennan de clared.
 Carpenter is a fancy boxer and rope skipper. said Brennan. His so- called one-two punch is a bugaboo- He swings from the hip like a rank amateur, which was proved in his fight with Levinsky.
 Public Fooled on Weight.
 The public, according to Brennan. is being led to believe that Carpenter will weigh 177 pounds when he faces Dempsey, but 'tK. O. Bill" asserts Georges is only 162. He also told of seeing Carpenter nearly knocked out by one of his French sparring part ners. 8 lightweight when the latter hooked Georges in the midStream, the wallop making Georges rock.
 Brennan also told of old Joe Jean nette becoming a wonderful and tal- ented actor, praising the F'renchman to the skies and offering to bet all kinds of money on him after pulling his punches.
 Match Blot on Sport.
 K O. B1ll' also declared the match is a shame on the sport ''I only hope Dempsey will not kill the Frenchman for that would also mean the death of boxing.
 Parker entertainS the same views

Eddie Lemons departure is no sur prise to the fans. Lennon goes to Portsmouth, Virginia League, but the Bridgeport club will have a string on him. Lennon found the Sledding rather rough against the Eastern League clubs, and then some of the breaks were not in his favor. Lennon had many friends here who will wish him the best of luck in his new berth Eddie has the makings of a good pitcher and Gene McCann ex- pressed the belief he will come through.

WIEHE CASE is
NOW ON
DepositioAs on Spring Lake
Matter Were Taken Be-
fore Court Commissioner
Walter S. Cate Friday.

Another chapter of the case of c.
F. Wiehe, the Chicago millionaire,
against the state conservation COM
mission of Wisconsin is being enact
ed before Court Commissioner Cate
at Ashland last Friday. Wiehe is
trying to sew up Spring Lake and
the adjoining streams from fisher
man and maintain it for the use of
himself and his friends. He owns
all of the land around the lake and
also has corralled the entire stream
by purchase of land so he owns the
entire lake and stream. The state
contends that he cannot sew up state
waters and compelled him to take
nets out of the stream last fall. He
thereupon brought action in the
federal court to restrain the state
conservation commission from inter
fering with him and for damages
aggregation about $500 for inter-
ference last fall.
Assistant Attorney General Baker
representing the state and Attorney
Hall, representing Mr.. Wiehe are
here taking the dispositions. They
will examine about ten witnesses in
regard to the lake and stream as it
was originally before the dam was
put in. Mr.. Wiehe claims the lake
is an artificial one while. the state
contends that it is not and that the
control of the waters of the stream
and lake is in the hands of the state.
The final chapter OF the case will
be heard in federal court, probably
before Judge Luse at Superior.
