 Joe Jeannette-"Carpenti is too smart fighter to lose this bout. He will be away when Dempsey hits and the champion will not be able to see his right hand, it will be that fast"

 Says Carp Is Fast
 Italian Joe Cans, who spared with the challenger during three weeks of the training period-'I believe Car pentier will knock out Dempsey in the fourth or fifth round with a right to the jaw. Carpenter is the fastest man of his weight that have ever seen."
 Chris Arnold, sparring partner "Carpentier has a right hand that never misses and it paralyzes when it strikes.''
 S-Ounce Gloves.
 New York, June 3O.--Eight ounce gloves will be the weapons used by Dempsey and Carpenter in their match for the championship Saturday. This was announced today by Tex Rickard, promoter, who said the eight ounce mitts were more favorable to the New Jersey boxing commission than those of the six ounce variety. Managers of both fighters inspected the gloves and pronounced them satisfactory. Announcement last night that the ring would measure 20 feet on each side, instead of IS as originally an- nounced. gave rise to some comment to the effect that Manager Descamps of the Carpenter camp had objected to the smaller arena. This was denied, however, by Rickard.
 The New Jersey boxing rules require that the ring shall be not less than Is nor more than 9 feet on each side.

Atlantic q Jdne o-Denpsey lid not know i1fyesterday that his big motor car was in the possession of Philadelphia court bailiffs for ashalf hour yesterday. Dempsey's chauffeur drove James F. Dougherty, the Phila- delphia referee and friend of the champion, to the Quaker city, where tA4 ear was seized to, satisfy a $500 Judgment a Philadelphia surgeon had obtained against the champion.
 Dougherty. however, appealed on behalf of Dempsey to the Superior Court for a new trial, which vas set for November. The car was then re- leased.
 Dempsey will fight this thing to finish" Dougherty said, "hc doesn't object to paying the $500. but it is the principle involved. He was charged S1,000 for the removal of a small bone i'll his nose and believes the fee is un- reasonable. He paid $500 shortly after the operation was performed and the specialist demanded an ad- ditional $500. The operation was a very ordinary one and did not require twenty minutes"

 rested in Paris two weeks before railing. By a coincidence we were able to get passage on Le Savoie, the same liner on which we made our first trip to the United States. The officials of the French liner were most o5liging to me. They insisted that they would be glad to provide any fa- cilities for training on the voyage that I might suggest.
 felt in perfect physical condition and knew that would need only some shadow boxing and little deck run- ming to keep in condition on the trip, so we did not accept the proposal to build special gymnasium on board.
 Descamps and I had many interest ing conversations in which we guessed at the nature of our second reception. We figured that. Being no strangers in America we would be able to slip in quietly without much attention being paid to our arrival.
 We also had fun telling Journee and Marcot, members of our training fam fly about the high buildings in New York. They would not believe that the woolworth building was so high the top story was hidden in the clouds. Our exaggeration was carried out to the letter by weather conditions for a sort of fog was hanging over the city when we first sighted the giant build ing and the top stories were hidden in the mist.

 His contra ption has no wire, but, Is ono piece of metal, with the neces- sary apertures- for eyes nose and mouth. The metal is composition of his own, something like aluminium and lighter than the wire mask.
