Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpen-
tier are just entering the hardest
part of their training.
Nothing these two have done no
far Will compare to the strain of
the last week or 10 days. Both
have worked too hard. They started
too early and went at it too strong
Dempsey has the better chance to

Dempsey for three days. He GER
tafnly wanted to get into the ring
It's q sign that he's on edge.
Dempsey was helped by being in
q lively play with the board walk
and a lot Of activity to amuse him
Carpenier's country place must be
getting monotonous BY this time.
They treat Georges like a king.
There is a serious. atmosphere
around his camp and that is not
good for boxer.
Before coming down here had
heard that Jack became q surley
bear when he had to stop work but
l haven't seen any symptoms Of bad
humor or nervousness. He is high
strung and always wants to be on
the move. but he is not bothered or
worried by thoughts Of Carpenter
or the fight
Jack is a lot like Charley Mitch
ell, one of the best of the trainers.

REFEREE TO BE
CONSIDERED BY
BOXING BOARD
.ear,1s AlDaits Con
ference With Tex
Rickard.

Atlantic City, N. J., June 49,
With the announcement that the
New Jersey boxing commission is
to meet tomorrow to discuss the ref
cree selection for the heavyweight
championship contest, July 2, Jack
Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey,
today said he had advised the COM
mission that he had communicated
with Tex Richard, promoter of the
contest, in regard to the meeting
and would take no definite step un-
til he had opportunity to discuss the
issue with Richard.
THE original articles OF agree
ment for the fight" said Kearns,
contain the names of five men,
James ]. COrbett, James J. Jeffries,
James Dougherty, Robert Edgren
and Bill Brown, who have been
agreed on by Rickard, Descamps
and myself, as the list of men from
whom the referee should be Sc
lected.
I'm the event that Descamps and
l fail to agree upon a choice, it de-
wolves on Robert Edgren, as sole ar
bitratOr Of all disputes to make the
final selection. l have at no time
been advised by Richard that the
New Jersey boxing commission has
any jurisdiction in the final selec-
ton Of the referee. There is moth
ing in the articles agreed to that
effect.
Personally favor James Dough-
erty Of Philadelphia, though this is
no reflection on the ability and in
tegrity Of the other four available
candidates. The name Of Lieuten-
ant Jack Kennedy, U. s. n, has been
mentioned. Both Dempsey and
myself regard him highly"
Today is the last of Dempsey,s
four days vacation. The champion
is scheduled to resume his training
grind tomorrow. after having been
rested since Sunday. He probably
Will be permitted to do some box
ing. as his damaged left eye has
healed and physicians have assured
him that there is lite danger of re-
opening the wound. Dempsey has
not pulled on the gloves since a
week ago last Sunday when the
wound was split open.

Notes of the Game

Cmps Lauxon had the fans rag
zing him again, not without cause.
He seems to be getting worse all
the time on pitched balls. He missed
a rair Of strikes on Runser in the
eighth, permitting the Plow short
stop to walk. This resulted in two
runs.
umps Hall showed NO desire to
call close ones on the bases for
either side.
Runser showed a hefty pair of
legs in the eighth when he scored
from second on Mack's sacrifice to
Pratt He rounded the far corner
so fast that a play on him at the
plate was impossible.
The Plowboys got half of their
hits In the first two innings. After
that. Smith had them behaving.
Elmer Benson stopped a promis-
ing rally of the Plows in the third
when he caught Gooch's hard liner
and doubled Jones at first. There
were none down and the hit and run
was ON. Gooch did his part all right,
for had Elmer been . step to one
side he could not have reached the
ball. 1t very likely would have car
ried to the fence and scored Jones,
who had already reached second.
Murphy usually makes life mfser-
able for Jake DEUEL. when he gets
on base. The islanders shortstop
stole second twice yesterday. The
day before he pilfered three bags.
Elliott would have had a hit on
his rolled to kneisch in the eighth
had no play been made at the plate
The ball was tantalizing slow one
that made kneisch show some speed
coming in. Elliott could have beaten
a throw to first but It had to 90
down as folders choice because
Benson was touched out at the
plate.
The Plowboys row have four tn
TWO games on the Islanders. Next
series ought to overcome the differ
ence.

LOSES FOR CUBS
No Spirit in Contest Won By Braves
Yesterday by q Score Of 10
to 2

Chicago, Ill, June 15-In a game
as spiritless as q cautious cafe, the
Cubs yesterday eased down entirely
in their final game with the Boston
Braves and we're swamped, 10 to 2.
Young Virgil Cheeves and equally
young Percy Jones were on the
mound and aside from being there
did nothing of importance. Cheeves'
brand of offensive was exemplified
in hitting two batters and Jones
contributed wild pitch and a
couple Of bases on balls to relieve
the monotony of rather steady
smuggling by the Bostonese.
There were three home runs and
three two-base slams in the course
of the trying afternoon, all of
which had nothing at all to do with
the Cubs efforts at the bat The
cubs devoted themselves to singles
exclusively and. although there
were 10 made, they were so served
that they netted but two runs.
