the very near future All members
Of the city council, local builders
and contractors and other authorities

Because he belieyed the measure
to be too stringent and would pre-
vent much building here, Mayor

thorough cleaning up of the building

be made in the budget for the en-
suing fiscal yes
Among other improvements to be
advocated by the mayor is the re-
pairing Of the pavement in certain
blocks on Chickasha avenue. "The
base of some of this pavement will
be damaged if not repaired some
time soon,' Mayor Coffman said
"A stitch in time saves nine and
am in favor Of doing this work as
soon as possible" he added.
Beets Has Method

was stated. This method is described

that way"
Men from Dempsey's camp said aft
er the workout that the only way the
Frenchman suffered by comparison to
Dempsey was in the body. 1t is too
frail. they think, to stand Jacks
blows. Otherwise they regard
Georges as a real contender for the
championship.
Joe Ruddy of the New York Ath-
letic Club, champion water poIofst
and one of the best judges of physi-
cal condition in the country. said
that Georges legs were the best
fighting legs he had ever seen and
that if his body were built in nro-

Carpenter Asserts He Will
Drop Dempsey if Jack Makes
a Single Mistake.

V Georges Carpenter when be
4 i meets Jack Dempsey, July 2,
expects to land the first telling
punch. In a conversation today with
his friend and adviser, Capt. Mallett,
he said that he would drop Dempsey
if the latter made one single lnl,-
take.
"The challenger" Capt Mallett
said, rs not afraid. and thinks that
he has better than an even chance
to win. II willingness, a clear eye
and deadly right hand, coupled
with speed and endurance, can win,
Georges thinks, he will be the world
champion"
He realizes that Dempsey will be
the best man he has ever met. but.
Notwithstanding, he is going in de-
termined to do his best. and If he
loses he will take it like man. Car
pentier always before his big nights
has expressed something of the sort
l have just quoted. and invariably his
prediction has come true, although
in many cases we have disagreed
with him.
How He Beat WelIx.
'In the fight with Bombardier Wells
l personally thought that Georges
would be battered to a pulp. and ad-
vised Descamps not to consent to the
match. But Georges settled the whole
thing in the very words he had
spoken with regard to the Dempsey
fight. In that fight Georges went
down for the count of nine in the
first round .and when he came to his
corner said his chances were still
even. He went down three times for
count of eight in the second round !;
the third was neutral, and he knocked
out Wells in the fourth. When he
came to his corner then he said, L
had an even chance, and took it,.
Today Carpenter will take his duly
prescribed visit to the golf Inks, ana
then will work out some.
Georges intimated he might want
some of this work late in the after
noon.

and not a fighter. and finally that ne

Carpenter isn't thinking about the
small end of any purse.
Georges Absolutely Confident.
This became evident after the fight
er's workout yesterday, when the
writer had a chance to get under the
challenger's skin little. Carpenter
usually doesn't talk fight at all and
tries to dodge those who want to con-
verse on this subject. But in this
case Georges let himself go a bit.
He is as sure that he is going to
beat Dempsey as he is that he is now
living on Long Island. He believes
this not only because of his confidence
