 ATLANTIC CITY, June 29.-A few words with Jack Kearns, managing director of Dempsey & Co.,, may not be amiss at this time. Dempsey himself is not given to discussion of his chances with Mons. Georges Carpeutier, the leaping frog. He will talk about anything else, but only Kearns knows what the cham pion really thinks of the vauuted punches his opponent is supposed to be perfecting.
 kearns knows, but he isn't telling However, he has made study of every angle of this fight. Make no mistake about 1t, Dempsey has a smart, foresighted manager. It is Kearns who will direct the plan of battle for Dempsey after the men enter the ring.
 Though loquacious on many sub jects, Kearns is not given to lengthy public discussions of the fight But once in while when he gets in the mood and is surrounded by a few friends he cuts loose, and then you realize that he has given the matter deeper though than any of the high browed experts.
 Seated in a group of congenial con- panions in one of the cafes here, Dempsey's manager expounded some of his views, and they carry weight The discussion started when Fred l Perry brought Colonel James McAu- life over to the table and introduced him to Kearns. ! Colonel McAuliffe has been a globe trotter for many years. He knows the capitals of Europe as well as the American cities; he is as much at home in Paris as in New York. q am very pleased to meet you 1 MT. Kearns," said the colonel. be- cause 1 feel that I have a greater interest in this weeks affair than the average boxing fans. l have seen | Car-pont-shay in nearly every one of his ring battles-both in France and England-and after looking at Demp- sey today I honestly don't believe the Frenchman stands ghost of a show"
 What must we look out for?' queried Kearns, who is keen for such information.
 Nothing but that leap and a left" replied the Colonel.
 Il saw Car-pont-shay fight Klaus, Smith, Jeannette, Beckett, Wells, Papke and others, and I must say that l never saw him adopt the same opening tactics in any fight. Yet while I admire him as a man, I hon. estly think he has never whipped a real good man. Of course he can hit, but Dempsey is not going to stand still and offer himself as a target, is he?"
 "I should say not" replied Keams, "All we want is for this fellow to come tearing in. If he does I don't think the fight will last round. And yet I kind of hope it will go three or four rounds so that people can see how Dempsey has improved since he toppled Willard. I claim he is the hardest hitting heavyweight of modern times. I don't believe that Fitzsimmons or Jack Johnson could have stood long before him. If we only had Jeffries back where he was twenty years ago! Boy what fight he and Dempsey would make"
 The colonel rambled on.
 "Car-pont-shay is fast" he said, ''and you know he can hit by the way he stopped Beckett. But that fight was over before it began. Beckett, a slow-moving fellow, was outmaneu- vered. He thought the first round would be devoted to sparring, was slow in getting his dukes up, utterly unprepared for a rush and went out on two blows
 "Papke was going down hill rapidly when he met the French champion.
