Betting Gets Started.
The ring is built in sections.

hold as many people as may rush
into 1t after the bout. The flooring
is of 2-inch planks. 1t is covered
with an inch of felt padding and a

along the four edges. The four
pOSIs at the corners are of steel
thick enough to stand any strain
without bracing. They wont give

bent like hairpins when willard was
knocked against the ropes. The
ropes are of soft white Manila and
on the kinsposts in the opposing
corners are ingenious devices, seats

that Carpenter will stop Dempsey.

TUESDAY, June 2s.-Both Car
pentier and Dempsey have been do
ing more work this week than their
published schedules called for and
both will work until Thursday
afternoon. Every movement around
the two camps is closely watched
and rumors are as thick as flies In

a flying trip to New York to close
a moving picture arrangement. I'M

Dempsey breaking UP.
Another rumor had Dempsey re-
belling against Kearns' training d.
rections and jumping into a session
OF hard lighting with his sparring
partners as soon as Kearns was
out of sight As a matter Of facs
Kearns and Dempsey planned the
work together. When. Kearns left
IT, was agreed that Dempsey would
do a lot of heavy bag punching and
take on a couple of his toughest
sparring partners for a final trying.
He will work hard again Thurs
day, which will finish his training.
for on Friday he will start for Jer-
sey City. where arrangements have
been made to keep him secluded In
a private residence not very far
from the arena until II Is time t"

will be kept a secret so that the
champion can have rest from the
annoyance of being questioned and

NJ HARRY NEWMAN.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 2s.-
Jack Dempsey laughed out loudly
when we asked him this morning
about the report that there had
been a break between him and his
manager Jack Kearns. The cham
pion had just stepped away from
an attack on the breakfast table.
and was in jubilant mood when we
queried him about the alleged
rumpus
Not a word of truth In It: not
one word" said Jack, as he dropped
his mighty frame into a comfort
able arm chair on the porch of his
private quarters.
We advised Dempsey tnat the re-
port contained the announcement
that Kearns had left the camp and
was not to return; that Dempsey
was ignorig orderss issued by
Kearns and that the factionaI quar-
rels in the camp had resulted in a
wide breach between the fighter
and his manager.
That's all rot, not a word of
truth in it," said Jack and his face
showed a trace of anger. There
hasn't been any row between Rearns
and me and what is more there is
not likely to be any. Kearns Is my
friend and manager-and he is a
good manager too-Kearns mas
done lot for me and the sugges-
ton that there has been a break
Is all wrong. we are just as friend
iy as ever
They say that Kearns is not go =
ing to return to the camp; why. /
had him on the phone a few minutes
ago and / know that he will be back
here tonight. l wish those croak-
ers would lay on fyr a while and
tell the truth"
The champion explained that his
private workout on Monday was to
please few friends Who came quite
a d:5tance to see him. Jack said
that Kearns' wishes were not be-
ing ignored in the matter and that
he boxed a few rounds rather than
disappoint his friends.
Drifting along in another direc-
tion We asked Jack If he was all set
for his shindig with the French
man.
Yes / am in shape: IL I am no.;
in shape now, i never will he in
shape. l have gone along carefully
for two months preparing myself
for this bout. I'm ready. OF course
do not know anything about Car
penter's style and perhaps il is Just
as well that I do not. Advance in
formation on an opponents style
never helps. Go in there and bang
away when~the old bell rings is the
thing that counts when the scrIm-
mage starts"
For the next few days Demrsey
will do just enough boxing to keep
from getting rusty.
Notwithstanding the denial bv
Dempsey that there had been a row
between him and Kearns, the ru-
more were still popping all over
the place today that there is some
thing cooking between the fighter
and his manager, 1t is in the air.
