And now, Gunboat Smith. a huge American of 6 great reputation. Should I be able to beat him. It filled me with curious thoughts. Very little sleep I got that night.
 In fact it was not until about an hour before time for us to enter the ring that l again became my normal self. Then became steady. My nerves stopped their jumping. My heart beat at it's normal rate of speed and my brain was as cool as ever. Descamps, nervous as usual. had allowed himself to become greatly wrought over my condition and was entirely too solici- tous regarding my condition before the fight. laughed and poked fun at him for his many questions.
 The crowd that day at the Olympia! It was a sea of surging faces. wonder that I did not bolt from the ring, so thunder-struck was I by what saw. The sight shocked me, for had not suspected so many persons could gather to witness our exhibition. But I turned my head and there, in the opposite corner sat Gunboat Smith IL was my first look at him and my interest in him plotted the crowd from my mind. very happy thing.
 The giant negro. Armstrong. who trained him. was at the side of the American. My opponent was much larger than I expected to see him. He had a tremendous first, was all angles, hugeand awkward. l was giving away my pounds in weight and at the woment things looked rather black for me. I came near panic when sized him up as I ever did in my life, but I quickly gripped myself when Descamps began showing signs of concern and I did steady myself quickly. I confided to Descamps that l did not like the appearance of my antagonist, but he forced a smile.
 Nonsense, Georges. Half a dozen rounds and victory will be yours"
 lost whatever concern I may have felt before the first round was over. for I found that Smith was slow and awkward. I wondered what had taken him so far in America. but recalled

BOXES WITH DEMPSEY
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien Loud in His Praise of Champions Superb Condition Following a Round.

Atlantic City. June 20.-Jack Dempsey will not invade Jersey City for his worlds heavyweight cham pionship battle with Georges Carpen- tier July ?, until perhaps A hours before the contest, according to plans announced today by Jack kearns, manager of the champion. Dempsey will remain here in his training quarters until late in the afternoon of the preceding day.
 Kearns has arranged to have Dempsey and his immediate handlers spend the night before the battle in the quiet of a private home in Jer- sey City instead of going to a hotel. Dempsey will be kept in seclusion from the time he reaches the battle ground until the time for him to go to the arena on ''Boyle's thirty acres" kearns will have charge of his pro- tege'S corner as he has always had in previous championship encounters. Dempsey's seconds probably will be Teddy Hayes, his "par' and trainer; Jack Renault and Larry Williams heavyweight sparring partners; Joe Benjamin and Mike" Trant the Chi cago detective sergent who has been the champions constant companion in the training camp here. Bernard Dempsey. also may assist in handling his brother.

man, easy to defeat, for at the end of the third round Descamps urged me to try in the fourth for a knockout and entered that round fully determined to follow his instructions. Watching my chance I feinted with my left and sent my right crashing to Smiths chin. Down he went on his chin.
 Corri. who. believe. had a person. al interest in this fight, began a slow count. His arm actually rose and fell eleven times before the bell rang. The pictures show it. The time keeper told me afterward that Smith really spent thirteen seconds on the floor. That I should have had the victory by a knockout have no doubt. When the bell rang I danced to my corner, for I thought it was the bell signalizing my victory. I'm agine then my disappointment when I found that I must continue the com bat.
 Smith recovered sufficiently to come back at me in the fifth, fight ing pluckily, but was at all times his master and only played with him.
 Tn the sixth came the end. Miss ing a heavy swing with my right I plunged past Smith and fell to my knees. Smith had been looking for an opportunity to quit the fight, it seemed to me, so I intuitively knew something was about to happen. I turned my head quickly to watch him. What I saw forever condemned him in my eyes as a sportmanlike fighter. His first was raised and he was in the very act of striking me. I attempt ed to go down with the blow, but was too late. His first landed with crushing power on the back of my head. My face was driven to the floor with such force that my nose was smashed.
 Corri immediately disqua lified Smith. Thehouse was in an uproar. Smith and his followers stoutly main tained that if a foul blow had been struck it was unintentional and at any rate very light, but I can assure you that the blow he delivered had very wicked power in it.
