If Carpenter Had His
Own Way He'd Tie Can
to American Reporters

NEW YORK, June 23.-As far as nerves
are concerned neither Jack Dempsey nor
Georges Carpenter seem to be aware that
'it" is only nine days away.
Stories coming from Atlantic City
about the bad huinor the champion IS
getting into are wrong. He is just as
amiable and congeJIial as he ever has
been.
1t is much easier to study Dempsey
than Carpenter because the champion
makes himself more accessible. 1t does
not take d miaute to observe however,
that be is in good spirits and is no;
worried or nervous.
Carpenter, who believes that he is be
ing given a bad deal by the newspapers,
permits reporters around his training
camp only because Tex Richard said he
had to do it-and Richard is paying the
bills.
Whatever may be the shortcomings or
the Frenchman, and he has lots Of them,
he is not nervous or worried over the
outcome OF the fight.
