Dick Brown had Paynes number

hardest hitting pitcher in the league
three times in row. You deserve
some credit for that stunt, Brownie,

That boy Gladu is showing the way
to the other fielders in the league most
every afternoon. Its getting so now
that the fans don't think they have
been to a ball game unless Frenchie
takes one off his shoe tops in his nit
hand. Yesterday he robbed Eschman
of a hit when he took his short fly
back of second on the run, one hand

says if it had been hit with an ounce
less muscle behind it he believes it
would have fallen safe.

Atlantic City, June 29.-Today is
the beginning of the end of Jack

arena and the last workouts this af-
ternoon probably will be staged be-

The champion, dreading the last
three days of marking time, is glad
that the long Seige of training is
nearing an end. He does not display
any outward signs of nervousness or
irritability and his handlers agree
that his physical condition could
hardly lie improved

| can get my affairs in shape aftel

to Salt Lake City, then on west for a
vacation.
Dempsey is about three pounds over
the figure he expects to scale when he
climbs into the ring at Boyle's Thirty
Acres Saturday afternoon, but expects
to lose a couple of pounds today and
tomorrow another pound when he
dries out Friday. He will abstain
/ from eating certain foods and will
only drink water the day before the
Eattle. He scaled 1913 pounds yester-
i day and expects to go into the ring at
the 1870 pound notch
The program mapped out for the
champion today calls for some light
exercises and perhaps round or two
of boxing if he feels inclined to pull
en- the. gloves. He will perform be-
hind locked gates, away from the Gu
rious eyes of the public. The signs in
front of the box office have been
yanked down and the ticket boxes
have been turned over to the owners.
Only newspaper men an few
friends will be admitted this after
noon and tomorrow. Attaches of the
camp already have begun the task OF
getting things in shape for the cham
pion's departure. According to pres
ent plans Dempsey and his party will
leave for Jersey City Friday. He will
spend the day in the seclusion of a
private home in Jersey City and will
be kept in seclusion until the time to
80 to the arena. The day before the
battle will be the longest of all and
Dempsey's handlers are preparing to
nurse him with extreme care.
