ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., June 20
Nature gave speed to Jack Dempsey
and the king of battlers is improving
upon its work
Many who have followed intimately
all the happenings in the pugilistic
world for 40 years, insisted, after the
Jess Willard jamboree:
Dempsey is the fastest heavy
weight in ring history-barring jim
Corbett."
The speed of Dempsey in Toledo is
distanced by the whirlwind action or
arms and legs which he is displaying
here
Two years ago when Dempsey
schooled for battle with a man noun
tain his main training thought was
the punch. The speed he displayed
then was but a natural and undevelop-
ed gait. He paid no great attention to
gathering swiftness for he knew that
even without speed training he had it
on the giant Kansan in a hundred diff
ferent ways
Hears Much OF Frenchman.
But it's different for the fight with
the f1ashy Frenchman. The champion
has heard much of the cyclonic action
of Carpenter. Realizing that to be
outspeeded would place him at dis
advantage, be has put in long and
wearisome, yet fruitful hours bring
ing his legs TO the zenith of action.
AS a result, he is faster afoot to
day than ever in his life. He shifts
twists, turns. ducks and sidesteps in
way that is amazing for a man who
bulks nearly 200 pounds. The skinny
legs are muscled to the hardness Of
steel yet with the resilency of rubber
There is no better indication of the
perfect condition of Dempsey's legs
than the fact that through practically
all of his daily workouts of nearly AZ
minutes he is on his toes. Only wheI

NEW YORK, June 20.-"Boxing's
greatest Snowman" That is the title
which George Lewis c'Tex'0 Richard,
promoter of the coming Dempsey
Carpenter bout, has earned in the
staging of several bouts drawing the
largest gate receipts in the history of
the sport.
Thrown in contact with the boxing
game by accident, Richard. an account
of whose career reads like fiction, &C
complished nearly everything he set
his mind on doing and has kept going
along successfully, despite conditions
that sometimes made the word quit"
seem attractive.
Richard was born in Kansas City,
Mo, Jan. ?, 1871 His father, a mill
wright, moved to the Panhandle Of
Texas when the embryo promoter was
small boy. At the age of Il years,
thrown on his own resources, with a
widowed mother, two brothers and
three sisters to support, Tex
turned to the calling of cow-punching
universal in Texas.
Travels Extensively
Then started the travels that have
made this man a citizen Of the
world" He met success in the cattle
business but in 1894 hit the trail for
| the Klondike. Months of hard labor
brought fair returns but after a year
or two in Dawson, Richard again
moved. This time he drew up in
! Goldfield, New, at the time when the
mining craze engulfed that section.
! But Goldfield was not satisfied with
the local activity which the miners
| brought to that place. The towr
boosters wanted national note anC
! Richard suggested a championship
| boxing match.
The promotion of big enterprises
with the aid of virtually no capita
! has been characteristic of this pros
| pector who has tapped the gold mine:
! of Broadway as we'll as of the klon

/ he secured enough money TO offel

the Eagles had his number from then
