Belgian Police Dogs Alone
Afford Similarity Be-
tween the Two Camps
By c. F. FITZGERALD

There is only one thing in which the
camps of Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter show marked resemblance
a Belgian police dog is the Frenchman's s
pal at Manhasset, and two animals Of
the same breed are sack's constant
companions at his Atlantic City am
phitheater.
Of course, the fact Georges brought
his dog over from France and that it
served the tri-color with distinction at
Verdun and on other strenuous oc-
casions when the history of the world
was being revamped gives the imported
Flip a cause not to desire comparison
with the Dempsey mascots.
So far as has been noised abroad,
neither of the Dempsey "hounds" ever
was closer to Europe than an oceans
breadth. Accordingly, in this particu-
lar item Of camp news Carpenter has
the call over his American rival about
forty ways.
Even a Belgian police dog has right
to be proud Of laurels won under she'll
fire. Nobody would blame the French
mans silkeA haired canine hero if he
should fail even to accord the inmates
of the Dempsey kennel bark of rec
ogniton If they should chance to meet
before or after the big Jersey City
rufhpus. On the other hand American
dogdom would be perfectly justified in
staging q jubilee solely in honor of
Flip.
Camps Are Widely Different
Leave the Belgian dogs out of the
picture, and nothing except an 1S-foot
ring witch canvas-covered floor and
perhaps a punching bag or two can be
found at the Manhasset camp that will
'remind the visitor of Dempsey's train
ing quarters, with bleachers for paid
patrons and the mighty Atlantis roar
ing necessarily just beyond the in
closure.
For instance, when Carpenter re-
marked yesterday in discussing his
Quarters: ooh, it is fine. Plenty fresh
air and milk. See my cows?" he went
q long way toward emphasizing the diff
ference between his makeup and that
of the heavyweight champion.
If Dempsey, had cows in his quar-
marked: Great my cows; such won
derful beefsteaks they'll make"
He probably would not have given
the fresh air a thought, and as for
fowls, which abound at Manhasset, the
American pugilist doubtless would have
directed his comments at chickens of
an entirely different variety.
This is all by way of saying that in
temperament Georges demonstrates
every second in the day that he is the
exact opposite of Dempsey. Imagine
Dempsey Sinking a bunch of news
paper reporters or complaining that to
pose would mar his day of rest. Not
jacques Dempsey.
The more the merrier is the creed of
Dempsey and his manager, Jack Kearns,
SO far as reporters are concerned, be-
cause the American heavyweight has
been trained to court publicity, and he
appreciates that the press is power
full ally of bulging pocketbook for the
fighter.
Simple Life for Carpenter
The simple life that Carpenter is
leading down on Long Island would as
surely wreck Dempsey's nerves as
would the fast pace Jack is clipping off
at Atlantic City spoil the mental and
physical attitude that the Frenchman
hopes to carry with him to Boyle's
thirty acres"
Carpenters camp site was selected
mainly because it was the quietest spot
that could be found in the immediate
vicinity of New York. Dempsey went
