Manhasset Folk Say ListIess
Attitude Is Ruse to Con-
ceal Real Powers
FORGETS HIMSELF AT TIMES

Manhasset. n. Y. June 9.-Folks
hereabout. who would like to view
Georges Carpenter going through his
PAGES during his secret training ses-
sions. but can't, have expressed the
opinion that the challenger is fooling
the public.
They believe he has more up his
sleeve than he is willing to let the
world in general know about and that
his somewhat listless attitude when
boxing for newspaper men is but a
ruse to conceal his real powers.
While the French champion is not
always listless before the critics, he
has thus far refused to effectively
demonstrate just how he is going to
conduct his offensive campaign when
he enters the ring with Dempsey
Apparently that is only half the
story. for from all indications Car
pentier will continue to let the public
wonder just how many tricks he
brought in his little bag from Paris.
There is no doubt that the debonair
prize fighter has race track full of
speed, for he occasionally seems to for
get himself when the newspaper men
are watching him, and displays few Of
the traits that have made him famous.
During his secret sessions. however.
II is known that Carpenter takes his
work more seriously. Just what he
does. however. Manager Descamps said,
is Georges own business. Descamps
has declared that the public will know
the result of these private sessions in
the ring when they see or read of
Georges in action on July 2.

DEMPSEY RESUMES
BOXING SATURDAY
His Sparrlng Partners Will Be
Compelled to Wear Head
gears in Future
NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES

Atlantic City. N. j.. June 0. -
Sparring partners in Jack Dempsey's
training camp will be compelled to wear
headgears when boxing Is remused to
lessen the danger of reopening thr
wound over the champions left eye,
which was split open last Sunday when
Larry Williams butted him trying to
evade punch. Since then Dempsey
has done no work with the gloves.
Jack Kearns, manager of the title
holder, said today that Dempsey would
resume boxing on Saturday. provided
the wound continues TO heal rapidly.
New skin has formed over the cash, and
the stitches taken in II have been re-
moved. Dempsey wears no dressing
over the injury. II, spends great
deal of time exposing 1t to the gun to
hasten its healing.
~ could resume boxing now," Demp-
sey said today, las the wound is not
causing me any pain, but there's no use
taking any chances until it is thor
oughly healed. 1t would be a good
mark for Carpenter to shoot at II I
am forced to go into the fight with my
eve in tender condition. don't want
that to happen. I might be blinded by
the flow of blood"
Overshadowing the cut over Demp-
sey's left eye is the growing comment
on the wonderful improvement he has

ing bouts with his heavyweight spar
ring partners.
Always a good right handed hitter,
Dempsey he's displayed such marked ac-
Curacy and power in delivering his port
side punch that even ld-timers have
narveled.
In the enrly fighting days Dempsey
used n nice left. but always to the
head. Now he hooks first to the stom-
ach. throwing all his force behind It.,
and even before his opponent has time
to step back he sends the same left to
the jaw.
It is a tremendous blow. or a pair
Of punches. experts agree, and they pre-
dict that IL the champion can get his
glove into the stomach and bring 1t up

as he does on his sparring partners the
