STRAND TO SHOW HOW CARP AND DEMP TRAIN.

L. R. Towns, manager of the strand theatre announced Tuesday afternoonsthat he had arranged some. thing special for the benefit of Birn1- ington fight fans. He stated that pictures from the training camps of cha mpion Dempsey and challenger Carpenter, would be shown at tn strand Thursday, Friday and Satur- day of this week.
 These pictures show how Carpen. ter and Dempsey went about actual training for the title tilt" said MT. iowns, and they may be instru- mental in telling Birmingham bugs how they should place their bets. They will give the fans an inside view of how things looked at the two training camps. SO that the local bugs will not have to take hearsay on the conditioning of the two men, but can see for themselves"

hangar was hot and stuffy, and Dempsey perspired profusely after slugging the light inflated bag for three minutes and the heavy stuffed bag for another three minutes. He was dripping whet when he finished the two rounds of boxing.
 The experts regarded Dempsey's boxing more favorably than they did when they last saw him in action on Sunday He boxed with more en- ergy and pep" they thought, and was hitting harder, except when he penned his sparring partners in corner. Then he would content him self by cuffing them around until they could break away and escape to the center of the ring. Dempsey stepped the first round with Eddie O'Hare and the second with the vet eran. Larry Williams. O'Hare was on the defensive from the start. and kept moving briskly in retreat. A few seconds after they started, Dempsey let fly left hook that hung O'Hare on the ropes, but the champion made no attempt to fol- low the advantage.
 Williams face was also puffed and his lips were bleeding at the finish Dempsey seemed to concentrate his attack on the body. however, ripping in with hooks at close range.
 Champ Weights I93
 After returning from a walk this morning, Dempsey jumped on the scales and balanced the beam at 193 pounds. He probably will reduce two more pounds in the final days of training and lose another when he dries out Friday.
 Tom Gibbons, the St. Paul heavy weight, and Harry Greb, a light heavyweight from Pittsburg, who regard themselves as prospective op- ponents for Dempsey, watched the champion go through his paces this afternoon. They said Dempsey appear ed in perfect condition.
 Matt Hinkel, the Cleveland refree, said Dempsey looked slower than when he was training for Jess Will lard at Toledo two years ago, but appeared stronger and more deter mined.
 It's my judgment that he is In great shape" he added. "The fact that he looks slower to me than he did at Toledo probably is because he did not box at top speed this afternoon"
 Rumors were flying around Allan tic City that Dempsey had broken with his manager, Jack Kearns, and that Kearns had packed his bag and departed for New York, and that Dempsey had consistently violated all instructions as regards training. There isn't word of truth in them" Dempsey said tonight. "Kearns is in New York on business and all of his baggage is still here. He'll be back tomorrow to prepare for our get away to Jersey City. All of the stories about a row and everything else are ridiculous"

And all thar~Tex knows about losers is lalapaloosers He is af- flicted with the same disease what MT. and Mrs. Midas was. Everything he touches turns GO gold. He made enough money out of the Jeffries- Johnson mis- take to pay off the national lebt. He cashed in enough chips at Toledo to establish aN radium warehouse. and according to the dope on this here big fight. which comes off Saturday, enough peo- pie has bought ducats so that Tex could retire after this fight and live a life of duck -trousered case without ever hitting an other tap. Dempsey. for that matter, will probably make enough, too. so that he could re- tire without ever hitting another yap, but he will probably con tinue to make goers out of all- corners as long as he can hand each victim a pair of sox One to the tommy and one to the jaw.
 The main question before the house as the eve of the oig bat tie approaches is how long can Carpenter stay with Dempsey. The general impression seems to be that Carp won't be able to stay with Jack as Long as Will liam Jennings Bryan stayed with President Wilson's cabinet, which was not long enough so you could notice it. To that will say: You can't never tell" That Is a nice. catchy, little phrase I've thought up right out of my own head. Men has bet real currency that Carp would be on his feet at the finish. Not if Dempsey gets on his neck at the start l would say. The concen- sus of opinion seems to be that Jack will jolt him loose from his equilibrium somewhere between the first and fifth round, and that Carp will come to some where between dusk and dawn, If he is lucky. A few has pre- dicted that the bout would go 12 rounds. while there is still some others what has forecast that the Frenchman win open up a keg of tricks. and that before Jack knows what's happening it will of done happened. and somebody will be unscrewing the heavyweight crown off his dome so that they can place it on the pompadoured brow of grin ming Georges.
 Some thinks that Carp will be hit harder than the steel market. Others is of the opinion that the veternarian of the World war has got that They shall not pass" attitude in his dome and will
