It is possible that the Frenchman
is not showing the critics everything
that he has. The next few days
should give these critics a chance to
see a change in his work, for Georges
will now have to get down to hard
training, and will, no doubt, show to
better advantage than he has during
the past month.
| do not think that he has, to date,
had the sparring partners that he
should have to train for a man of
Dempsey's style, but a couple of vic
ious, aggressive fighters of the
champions type could still do him
lots of good.
If Carpenter works with such men
before the fight, think he has a fair
ly good chance of winning from
Dempsey, mainly because of his su-
perioE boxing ability, which he has
gained through his years of expert
ence. Dempsey has had only three
or four years of actual ring expert
ence and has never really travelled

DEMPSEY WORKS
DESPITE ORDERS

ATLANTIC CITY, June 28.-The
word had been passed out at Jack
Dempsey's training camp Monday
! that the champion would take a day
off to rest twentyzfour hours before
plunging into the final two-days' of
training.
KeaTns, Dempseys manager, left
for New York early in the day, leav-
ing explicit instructions to have
Dempsey do nothing but rest. This
program was carried out until Demp-
sey awakened from a refreshing nap
late in the afternoon. Then, to the
surprise and disgust of his sparring
partners, he ordered them to the
stuffy hangar a quarter of a mile
back of his own camp and staged a
secret workout that developed the
hardest of his training campaign.
Dempsey toiled for fifty-five minutes
at terrific speed, the workout being
equivalent to thirteen rounds of box
ing.
Dempsey whaled away at the light
punching bags for three rounds and
then drove vicious rights and lefts
into the heavy felt stuffed bag for
two rounds.
After two rounds of shadoW-box-
ing, he boxed two rounds each with
Eddie O'Hare and Larry Williams
that were more in the nature of
fights than training romps. Dempsey
tore into O'Haire with such speed
that the New York middleweight was
dead tired and putting badly after
two rounds.
Williams, the trial horse of the
camp, was badly punished around the
body during the two rounds he was
in the ring.
Dempsey then did some calisthen
les. Judge E. C. Bonniwell, of Phila
delphia, former Olympic champion
was highly impressed with Dempsey's
workout. He is a keen observer Of
condition and that Dempsey display
ed no indications of being overtrain-
ed.

two occasions. Long-distance con-
tests are what give a man the ring
generalship that is needed.
Besides being a clever boxer and
undoubtedly very game fighter, as
his past proves, Carpenter is a Won
derful puncher. With these quail
ficati0ns | believe he is very good
bet on the short end at odds of 3 to
/.
Naturally, | hope Dempsey wins
the bout, and the championship re-
mains in America, but l cannot fig
ure Carpenter to be as poor a per-
former as the critics have attempted
to make him out.
| think the Frenehman a good
short-end bet, especially to stay six
rounds.

PORT DEVELOPMENT
BY J. B. MORROW

With properly constructed piers, mu-
nicipally owned, a port can offer to
prospective steamship lines berth space
much more attraetively than a rail-
road-owned pier can possibly offer.
A number of reasons can be adj
vanced for this. There is feeling of
uncertainty by steamship operators re-
garding its berth at a railroad pier.
1t is manifestly true that railroads
do make concessions to certain steam
ship lines, and do. when there is an
abundance of pier space, both for
berthing and storage, lease certain por-
tons Of a railroad pier to private
steamship lines.
But, in general the rules laid down
in the terminal tariff &C. F. o., No.
24-A; l. c. c., No. A-1486S) of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. and
generally also carried by the Gulf
Florida and Alabama railway, insofar
as Pensacola is concerned, applies.
Paragraph No. 2 of this tariff reads
as follows:
Vessels desiring berth at the COM
pany's wharves viii make application
to the agent. No vessel will be allowed
to occupy a berth at any of the
wharves until so assigned. or to move
from one berth to another except as
directed by the agent or wharfmaster
Vessels will be assigned suitable berths
without discrimination, in the order of
application"
Paragraph No. reads as follows:
"No freight will be allowed to be de-
posted on these wharves when for ex-
port, except at time designated by
the agent; when imported, except that
which is intended for shipment out
ward via the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company. Any freight placed
on the wharves contrary to this rule,
Including rejected lumber and timber,
and stanchions. will be disposed Of
without notice"
BY the very nature Of the railroads
operations, in the majority of cases, the
railroad is compelled by law, subject
under that law to fines, etc, to abide
by these rules, and deviation from them
can only be made when the railroads
terminal facilities are of such character
and extent to permit of leasing portions
of it's dockage and storage space, and
which will not interfere with the eco
nomfcal handling of cargoes from the
piers by the railroads, and which will
not create a congestion on the pier, or

prevent doclxage Of other vessels seek
ing berth space.
Therefore, it is always the case that
a steamship line seeks it's own home
pier. is more comfortable when it is
assured or leased space which is with
in its own jurisdiction and used wholly
for its own purposes.
The obvious reason for this is that
the steamship line can modify its own
practices to attract traffic, while at a
railroad pier it is bound by the arbi-
trary, generally speaking, terminal
charges and practices as published IN
the railroads tariffs
A concrete example of this can be
shown in the following: A steamship
line at its own leased pier could extend
free storage time to an exporter in an
emergency. At railroad pier when
the free time allowance is exceeded,
storage charges begin.
There is no question that in the case
of Pensacola, where sailings are not so
frequent as at some of the larger ports.
of expense to the shipper and shipping
line, should by chance the shipment
miss the designated sailing date.
AlONGIIEIL Oh IFGISnl 1EgIIl LiAG rail-
road owned pier gives to that railroad
a practical monopoly of the business,
and in securing such monopoly the rail-
road cannot be criticised. 1t is after
business. and all things considered, it
is entitled to such business originating
on its own piers. Naturally this mon
opoly restricts the steamship line to
practically one carrier, whose solicit
ing force are working to secure BUSH
ness for such steamship line in COM
petition with other ports.
On the other hand, at municipal
pier, the steamship line has at its
command air OF the railroads of the
city, all of them working to secure
cargo for the line and, further more,
has available the car supply and the
carrying and yard facilities of all rail-
roads.
Summarizing the advantages Of
which adequate municipal pier offers
to all classes of steamship lines are:
l. Opportunity for steamship lines
to have their owned leased pier and
dockage space.
2. Elimination of arbitrarily fixed
terminal and storage charges.
3. Access to all railroads entering
the port

NO CROOKED ELBOWS AT THE
CONFERENCE


It is reported that all events at the
White house during the Limitation Of
Arms conference viii be dry"
Anyone who knows the innate good
taste Of the American president could
have predicted that If anyone thing
is characteristic Of Mr. Harding, it Is
firm foundations. in all social and bus
mess affairs. and such foundations are
impossible If men in high places by
indirection discredit established law.
What is more gratifying, because
perhaps not so certainly to be expected
is the facts that delegations of foreign
ers to the Limitations of Arms confer
ence and prominent visitors, with adj
mirable courtesy, are showing their re-
spect for the prohibition law. The Bril-
tish delegation it is announced, will
observe the prohibition law in the mat
ter Of liquid refreshments served at
any of its entertainments. The Japa-
nese, on the occasion Of the birthday
of their emperor, have already shown
their respect for the laws Of their hosts.
And Marshal Foch. simple and direct
in all his ways, has announced that
while he is in America he intends to
honor the spirit as well as the letter
of American law, and that the lack
of wine is not such a deprivation to
him after all.
1t Isl said sometimes men in high
places are injuring the prestige Of the
law by consorting with bootleggers and
showing their contempt for prohibition,
But such men are invariably men who
have not been in high places long
enough to acquire breeding or a sense
of responsibility Men who have had
time to acquire the poise and manner
afforded by much responsibility are not
bringing dishonor upon the law. It is
the new rich, the 'muckers," the man
or woman with the yellow streak, the
one who has not been taught the good
sportsmanship OF law observance-it is
that type among the weH-to-do who
are encouraging bootlegging. That
type has its day, but it is always a
short day
