getting rid Of their tickets for whatever
they can get. It's a sad world"
All around town there was specula-
ton. not only about the probable WIN
ner-that was the big topic. OF course
but about the probable size OF the crowd
that will surge in and out Of the vast
expanse Of yellow pine arena that
Rickard has built over a Jersey swamp.
The place seats 81 ,613 by sardine meth
DDS, but the general expectation Is for
not more than $1,000. Top price and low
price seats went like mothers muffins.
but the middle price seats hung in the
selling. These are the seats that have
turned upon the speculator and bit him.
Tomorrow. of course, there may be
sort of last hour rush that will absorb
all the tickets in existence, but last
night 1t looked as IL 10000 or so would
remain unsold. This may be due in part
to the public knowledge that counter
feiters have been at work and that
thousands of limitations, sure to cause
trouble If presented, are in existence
knowledge of this sort always scares
away certain type OF customer, fight
promoters say. So far as legitimate
ticket selling went last night 1t may be
described In a phrase. fairly steady with
no rush.
And yet there was fight enthusiasm.
fight talk. fight arguments from one
end Of the city to the other. especially
In the hotels and restaurants that nat
urally became the centres Of discussion.
If it were any other city than New
York one might truthfully write that
the city was fight crazy, but New York
has the reputation. at least, for con-
siderable calmness over such matters.
The fact is. conversation everywhere
naturally trended toward the spectacle
that is scheduled for the middle Of this
afternoon. Hotel Hobbies were almost
impossible, as groups collected to ex-
change gossip and badinage. the ma
jority Of persons being recently ar
rived and hot with interest In the COM
ing show. AS was noted yesterday,
women of the INCEST sort were in these
hotel groups frankly and intelligently
offering their opinions and eagerly
seeking information.
If saloons had been in existence-the
10000 free and open, brightly lighted
saloons Of the before prohibition days
even livelier interest in the coming
battle Of fists would have been appar-
ent, doubtless. but there are so few
places to go nowadays for a really soul
satisfying discussion of great public
affairs. Talk under prohibition goes
on the hop. skip and jump. and so 1t
was last night with the Dempsey-Car-
penter affair.
or betting-real betting-there wasn't
enough to startle. There were rumors
Of big bets at to / and to against

to pursue these rumors to any truth

"Prepared for Supreme Effort" -Carpentier
BY JACK DEMPSEY,

HeavUceight Champion Of the World
II am in the best shape of my ca
reer. ready and anxious to give an
account OF myself in the ring as
champion of the world. 1 expect to
win. and win as quickly as possible.
If one punch will knock out Carpen-
tier I'll be better satisfied.
But regardless of how long the
fight goes, the public can depend
upon me to DO my level best every
second of the way. I am proud TO
represent America against the Euro
pean challenger, and this pride will
cause me to make what 1 feel will be
the greatest fight of my life.
IT never was more anxious to win
a fight than this one. OF course. l

scamper away with the worlds title.
The above yarn did not meet with
much encouragement and IL was fol-
lowed by another to the effect that a
syndicate OF ten ingenious gentlemen
had formed themselves into a syndicate

fight itself Each OF these gentlemen
was to contribute 100000 to a fund
OF s1.0o0.0o0. which was to be handed
TO Dempsey for value received" in the
shape OF lay down" to Carpenter in
the fourth session.
The contributors to the fund were to
be recouped by betting on a knockout
by Carpenter in the fourth round, and
also by selling the moving picture rights
in Europe for s10.000.O00. The argu-
ment as to the value of the pictures In
Europe in the event OF victory by
Carpenter is well based, but the 81 900. :
900 fund feature was a bit strong.
The rumor crop would have been In
complete without one TO the effect that
Carpenter, desiring glory more than
cash. had consented TO give all the
money to Dempsey who in return would
permit the Frnechman to win the title
Thus IN all the rumors. Dempsey was

all the money while the Frenchmar
took the glory.
Had there been truth in any OF these
yarns there would have been no neces-
sity for Dempsey to train, for all h,
would have had to do was to leave ar
opening and take punch on the chin
The fact that Dempsey trained harder
than ever before except at Toledo would
seem 10 indicate that the worlds cham

wickets out of which this morning will
be passed the bleacher seats at $3.50
each. 1t looks like the old world series
picture multiplied by ten.
In Tex Richards office yesterday
there was much quiet apprehension.
There were some who believed that the
crowd would not exceed $4,000. Others
said 1t would reach 10000. But despite
this guessing 1t was true that from
many places came kilograms cancelling
orders for seats. Moreover the sale Of
seats was not sustained in manner
warranted TO cheer the hearts OF the
promoters. Various reasons are as
signed. The bogus ticket scare Is said
to be responsible for some of the failure
of the. public to gobble up the cards.
The misleading interpretations Of the
activities Of the International Reform
Bureau helped too. From score OF
cities yesterday Rickard received tele-
grams asking him how the reformers
had succeeded in stopping the fight and
when 1t would be held and where.
1t appears that the Hudson county

story related by the affidavits submitted
to the Chancery Courts earlier In the
weel-that the fight was conspiracy
to violate the laws prohibiting prize
fights. The two investigators testified
that both Kearns and Descamps told
them that their men had every intention
of winning by knocking out their rival.
Therefore. II was contended, the contest
