CHAMPION PUTS
SELF TO TEST
Jack Does Equivalent of
Thirteen Rounds at
Good Speed.
Rv SID MERCER

ATLANTIC CITY, June 2S.-Evading
successfully even the sleuth hounds Of
the press, who were thrown of the scent
by the announcement that the champion
had left camp for long automobile ride,
Jack Dempsey has today torn a page
out Of Georges Carpenters training man
ual by staging a long, high speed secret
workout in the old airplane shed at Air
port.
He worked ffty-fve minutes in the
hot, stuffy garage as the guards repelled
all efforts to crash the gate. Besides his
sparring partners and handlers, but eight
persons saw him work. They were
Judge E. c. Bonniwell. his wife and
three sons of Philadelphia; Bat Nelson
and two scribes who got into the grounds
before Dempsey awoke from an early
afternoon nap and suddenly decided to
work out, disregarding Jack Kearns In
structions before ne left for New Y"rR.
Somewhat nettled by criticisms OF his
boxing and condition which he read in
the newspapers, Dempsey no doubt de-
cided to work out in private to satisfy
himself that he wasn't stale or slowed
up in his footwork and glove swinging
With this in view, Dempsey did thirteen
three minute rounds. One round of
punching the bag got him warmed up
He socked that target for three rounds.
He then climbed into the ring and
slugged the heavy bag for two rounds.
This was followed by two rounds Of
shadow boxing. Eddie O'Hare and Larry
Williams then were called upon. OHare
went only two rounds. Dempsey set so
fast a pace that Eddie could stand no
more. When he quit he was pulled up
and had a cut lip, despite the fact that
he used a headgear. Larry Williams
Jared just as poorly.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Jim Corbett is

II want to tell you" he said the other
day at Bay Side, his home, "a lawyer can
take either side In this fight question
and make you bet your life on it. Give
him the cope on both men, I mean, and
let him talk to man who knows moth
Ing of the boxing game.
IF he'd take the Dempsey end, he'd
say the Frenohman is too small. He'd
say also that If Carpenter couldn't lick
such men as Dixie Kid, Frank Klaus and
Billy Papke. he never was a master at
his game He could show that Carpen-
tier had 'renigged' in some of his bouts.
He could also show that the only two
men Carpenter beat that amounted to
ANYTHING were Wells and Beckett. He
could prove that these men were only
second raters. He would tell his man
that Dempsey Is a giant, a terrific hit
ter and a bulldog In he ring.
NOW TAKE UP
CARPENTER SIDE.
Now let this same lawyer take the
Carpenter end. He will tell his man
that no fighter that ever lived can take
a right hand punch square on the chin
and stand up under it. That is, from

he can hit. He will tell his man that

Talks of That Tax

Good Spirits, Despite

BY FRANK GETTY,

MANHASSET, n. Y, June 2S.-Carpen-
tier is confident Watching Georges
work out in private today, talking with
him on the front porch and observing
his constant air of cheerful uncOncern
within four days Of the fight of his life,
one can come TO no other decision.
Georges himself won't say-for publica-
tion-more than that he viii do his best.
But when the last interviewer is re-
moved TO behind the barbed wire and the
challenger is in the midst Of his friends.
the real Carpenter shows up and that
Carpenter believes he is going to win.
Occasionally Georges viii sit rocking on
the front porch for ten or fifteen minutes

Just over our heads, but far, far away.
One watching him knows he is visuaiing
the coming fight Perhaps he is count
ing up to 100000. and they are going
to take $4,000 right away from me In
taxes said Georges today. mournfully.
Georges, speaking Of Dempsey. said:
He has never been really hurt. How
do wo know that he can take punishment
when he has never been put to the test 2"
Carpenter says he considers much OF
his proves lies in the suppleness Of
lis shoulders. which enables him to hit
hard and quickly without exerti0n.
Carpenter expected his training ses-
si"n TO be strictly private Monday. but
some journalistic friends from Paris
blew in and be couldn't eject them. There
was also some friends Of Jack Curley. his
American helper, raising the total To
thirty eight. Today it was stated there
would be no guests.
Some Of the fastest fighting OF the train
Ing season was on view when Georges
tangled with Paul Sampson for two
rounds. The men stood toe and toe
and sluRged, Cc~nentier giving and
taking and ducking. He also had two
rounds with Chris Arnold and Joe Jean

If Luck Decides 1t,
Then Georges Probably
Will Have a Chance

NEW YORK, June 2s.--Perhaps an
element Of luck will slip into this thing
next Saturday. If it does, it will be all
in favor Of the Frenchman. In everythir g
he has attempted the Frenchman has
been lucky.
Dempsey has been unlucky before and
since he won the title from Willard.
Everything the fastidious Frenchman
has touched turned into money. Demp-
sey has made q lot Of money. but he has
also been forced to put an awful lot OF
it out
Maybe the Frenchman's luck is the re.
suit Of the confidence that he gets from
being q real idol of the people
Dempsey has always been in tad. Be
fore he started his cvIimb as a boxer he
had trouble earning a living. Then he
got into domestic trouble and right out of
there into the worst OF all-the war
trouble.

Hypnotic Eye Talk Is
All Bunk, Descamps Says

NEW YORK, June 2S.-There isn't any
such thing as Francois Descamps' hyp-
motto eye, a supposed asset for Georges
Carpenter that has been much written
about and widely discussed. The crafty
little French manager has merely ''let it
g at that" realizing that such publicity
was mighty valuable for his man.
Georges and all of us have had many
a laugh about this whenever IL has been
played up in the papers" Descamps said
rhe other night while seated at a local
arena watching some fights. I've never
taken the trouble TO deny it or even TO
discuss il because perhaps I never have
been asked to. But III tell you now
there is no such thing.
Y consider l have a keen eye to dis
cover an opponents faults and weak
nesses but that is as far as my little eyes
can go. this I assure you so your be-
loved Dempsey is in no particular dan
