CEORC RCES STARTS
; ACTUAL TRAINING
FOR TITLE FIGHT
Spends Afternoon in New
Gym; Secrecy Sur
rounds Work.
BY RAY PEARSON.

NEW YORK, May .. = Georges
Carpenter has started training for
his battle with Jack Dempsey at
Jersey City on July 2.
That might sound like rumor
stuff, in view of the announcement
that actual work would not be
started until next Monday, but we
have the information that Georges
trekked out of his training residence
this afternoon at o'clock, his
frame covered by a bathrobe. and
made direct for the gymnasium
which has been rugged UP in a
barn.
That would indicate that the
business of secrecy is going to be
mighty prominent factor in the
preparation OF the European cham
pion for his clash with Dempsey.
Just how long Georges remained in
the gymnasium. and what he did,
are deep mystery, because the
closest one can get to anyone con-
nected with the Manhasset camp
today is the barbed-wire entangle-
ments which adorn the front fence.
Georges AT Home, Dates.
We learned today that the rule
excluding newspaper critics from
the camp except on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays already
is in effect. This means that Car
pentier will have the sort of a Sun
day that he desires. which means
almost perfect seclusion: The sight
seers who insist on making the trip
to Manhasset and carry field glasses
possibly may get a fash at
Georges as he lolls around on the
veranda.
Six days OF gumshoeing around
the Manhasset camp hasn't en-
lightened the fistic critics to any
material extent. Not once except
today in those half dozen days has
Georges stripped. There is a mys-
terious air about the camp in gen.
eral. and its exclusiveness, in so far
as 1t concerns those who are on the
JOB to get the news, prevents any
possibility OF getting even a remote
idea OF the fstic caliber of this gen.
tleman from Paris.
The week at Manhasset has been
passed in conversation. for the most
part and about the only informa-
ton obtainable Is that Carpenter
is confident that after July . he
VIII be worlds heavyweight cham.
pion' and that Jack Dempsey viii,
nave an ex prefix to his name. OF
course, that is merely conversation,
and not until Monday. when Car
pentier permits the critics to watch
him in training. will the fellows
who are accorded the privilege OF
entering the Manhasset camp have
a chance to see what he looks like
in fighting togs.

NEW YORK. May 2I.-Extermins
tor came into his own today as the
handicap king. This great piece of
racing flesh captured the Long
Beach Handicap at the jamaica
course in one of the most sensa-
tional drills eyer witnessed.
For three furiongs he raced Mad
Halter head and head. In the last
sixteenth he stuck his head in front
and that's how he won.
Exterminator also hung up a
track record OF 1850 for the mile and
a furlong. which reduced his figures
of last year second and a fifth.
After the finish Ssnde. the pilot of
Mad Halter, made a claim OF. foul.
which was not allowed.
1t was such an even event that
Exterminator and the Rancocas
Stable (Mad Halter and Cirrus)
ruled at even money.

beautiful start. Mad Halter went on

pin Association. who is chairman of
the ladies' classic, is formulating
plans with Miss Elizabeth Raw
lings, secretary of the ladies' tour

quiries already received, as well as
applications filed. it would be well
for the many ladies affiliated with
the various leagues in the District
to file applications for teams, dou-
bles and singleskwith Miss Rawlings
at once at the Grand Central. Sew
enth and Louisiana avenue.
Many prizes have been donated
for the fair sex and the diamond

Four Evening Star medals have
also been donated, two for the la

prize"
At a recent meeting at the asso-

The ladies also have to be regis
tered with the secretary in order to
enjoy the privileges of the tourna-
ment, a nominal fee of % cents be-
ing charged for a membership card
and button. This fund is used by
Chairman Cox to defray the ex-
penses of the tournament. which
enlarge each year. and from the
great interest manifested, the COM
ing ladies' classic will exceed any
thing in the history of the organi-
zation. From the scores already
made in the various ladies' leagues
very CLASSY" totals are anticipated
President Cox calls the important
fact to the attention of the ladies
that he will schedule the entries for
various requests who are first re-
corded with the secretary.
