There are people who think that
Dempsey has gone back. They viii
certainly take the Carpenter end Of
such a bet And those who feel that
the Frenchman Ia too fast VIII also
bet that way. There are others who
figure Dempsey to win In q punch.
They are the daily followers that ev-

right.
Last night we met q prominent
bookmaker who will make book on
the night. He has made out his card
and offers the following:

Always opt1mistic, carpenters
friends refused to take the set back
handed him by Dixie Kid seriously
and their faith in him was upheld
when he made q chopping block of
Sid Burns, then an English idol. in
his first appearance in q London ring.
Shortly Afterwards he met and de-
feated Young Josephs. This bout WAS
also held in London and the British
critics began to concede that Car
pentier was no fash in the pan.
1t was not until late in 1911 and
in 1912, however. that the French
champion began to assimilate a num-
Der Of hard-earned lessons in the
American style of boxing.
LEWIS TACKLES HIM.
In December. 1911, Harry Lewis. al
ways great boxer and in his days
one Of the sturdiest of middleweights,
! crossed the Atlantic to seek glory.
Eventually Carpenter. who had now
entered middleweight ranks. was
matched with the American fighter.
though not before he had knocked
out Jim Sullivan. British middle
weight champion. in two rounds at
Monte Carlo.
Paris WAS on the qui vive over the
LIE wis-Carpentier match. Georges
friends had come to learn. through
following him on his upward climb,
that they could always expect him to
make a great fight. And they were
not disappointed. At the end of
twenty rounds Carpenter, who had
fought like a master ringman, was
awarded the decision. Lewis admit
ted that his youthful opponent was
some ringster" but thought he
should have had no worse than a
draw.
The victory over Harry Lewis made
something of a national hero of Car
rentier and he now took the pleasant
plunge into the realm of fat purses
for the FIRST time.
Following the Lewis night he toured
France, meeting and beating many
local champions and cashing in on his
fame. In April 1912 he was matc6ed
with George Gunther, an American
colored fighter who had met such nen
as Tony Caponi. Jack Blackburn.
Harry Lewis. Jewey smith. Seaman
Parsons and p. A Curran. Gunther
was fairly clever and a very tough
man and des Camps at first hesitated
to match Carpenter with hi11. II
was Georges insistence, in the end.
that resulted in this match being
made.
Like many Of Carpenters earlier
fights. the Gunther bout went the
limit In twenty rounds Gunther
gave Carpenter one OF the most stub
born fights he had ever had and the
French lad was fortunate to have
kept out of harms way and earned
the decision. Some months later. at
Nice, this pair met a second time and
Georges proved that he had learned
much by giving Gunther a decisive
whipping in fifteen rounds.
The popularity of American boxers
in France at this time lured Willie
Lewis and others to cross the pond
and IL was in the few months follow
ing his last bout with Gunther that
Georges proved to Willie Lewis.
Papke and Klaus, that he had a
lighting heart.

RING RIVALS
ARE At CAMP
TO FACE JACK
Worlds Heavyweight Champion
Entertains Throng With
Real Boxing.
By SID MERCER.
Written for the International News
Service.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May
27.-Replacements for Jack Demp-
sey's army of sparring partners are
coming up rapidly now, and as long
as the weather permits work in the
open-air arena at Airport the cham
pion will go eight or ten rounds
daily for the entertainment of Wis
I itors who are f1ocking in here for
the holiday.
Martin Burke, a lanky heavy
weight from New Orleans, blew in
yesterday afternoon while Dempsey
was in the midst of his boxing pro-
gram. Down South they regard
Burke as a possible contender for
the title some day. He expects to
learn lot by boxing Dempsey here
and should give the champion some
of the real opposition he needs.
Burke reported with a tender ear
and may not start work for several
days.
Capt. Bob Roper arrived from New
York today "to look around" as he
puts 1t. Roper has not been engaged
but IL he cares to join the STAFF of
Dempsey receivers he will be well
come. Jack Kearns says the report
that Harry Greb is coming on is news
to him.
I'VE do not bar anybody. though"
says Kearns. The more the merrier.
They can't come too tough for the
big fellow
The champion gave his first exhibit
tion in the open yesterday afternoon.
The ring in the center Of the big
arena that adjoins his training quar-
tiers was completed even as Dempsey
started his workout with five min
utes Of shadow boxing. More than
1000 cash customers took the trip to
Airport for this show. There were
many women among the spectators
who crowded into the ringside seats.
Dempsey shadowboxed and then
took on Renault for two rather slow
rounds. Larry Williams followed Re-
nault and he took good FASTING.
With Renault Dempsey did consider
able innghting, but he and Larry ex-
changed some vicious swings and
hooks.
Altogether Dempsey boxed eight
rounds and he must have been in the
ring for nearly an hour, ending his
part Of the program with some
calisthenics. He worked in heavy
wooden trunks and looked bit
puffy around the paunch. His wind
was good, however, and at the finish
he was breathing normally.

Not for Jack Dempsey, however.
Yesterday he appeared at the
Mineola court house with faithful
Gus Wilson and asked Judge Lewis

his eye with target practice, a
camp diversion he has always en-
joyed abroad. He was granted the
permit.
