enough to win. And Dempsey is not
the man he was at Toledo.
Dominick Tortorich, promoter think
Dempsey will win, though the fight may
go ten rounds. Carpenter has been
moderated, but still think Dempsey
is the better man.
Jack Reddy, manager of Billy Miske
Il am convinced that Dempsey will
win within six rounds. Carpenter is
clever and one of the fastest men
have seen, but Jack also is fast and
carries wallop that will wear the
Frenchman down.
Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter Of
Dempsey Miske fght-Dempsey will
win the first time Carpenter misses
him. 1t may possibly go four rounds.
Tex O'Rourke, Of the I. S. C.--There
is little difference between the two
men. The man in the better condition
will win.
Jack Curley, wrestling promoter
Carpenter will be the next champion.
Georges has as much punch as Demp-
sey and he viii overcome the cham
pion's advantage Of weight and
strength by his speed and skill. The
Carpenter.
Dempsey ought to win in about four
rounds. The Frenchman is not strong
enough to keep Jack away from him.
George Washington Grant, owner of
the Boston Braves--It ought to be a
short bout, with Dempsey all the way.
Carpenter hasn't done much to prove
himself in class with the champion.
All his opponents were easy marks.
Babe Ruth, home run king-The old
wallop will turn the trick. Dempsey
will win because the big wallop wins
in every sport. They tell me that the
Frenchman is fast and will run away,
but Jack is somewhat fast himself.
Babe Adams, pitcher OF Pittsburgh
Pirates-Dempsey to win in q hurry
if they go in to punch, otherwise Demp-
sey in about five rounds. The French
man cannot withstand the champions
punches.
Steve O'NeilI, catcher, Cleveland In
dians-The fight will end just IS soon
as Dempsey can catch Carpenter,
which should be less than six rounds.
The Frenchman has never whipped any
body worth while, anyhow.
Bill kiIIefer, catcher, Chicago Cubs
iCculpScY is IOO oIIOllS anu lOO ndIo a
puncher for the Frenchman. Carpen-
tier hasn't got chance.
Jim OLeary, Chicago sportsman
Carpenter will make a running fight
of it, so the bout may go the limit.
Nevertheless, it looks like Dempsey.
Georges telegraphs his punches and
don't like that.
0ctavus Roy Cohen, novelist and
short story writer-Carpenti hasn't
chance in my opinion, and Dempsey
ought to win as quickly as it is pos
sible for one man to win from another.
Jack Abbott, motion picture di-
rector-I favor Dempsey to win inside
of six rounds. Carpenter cannot with
stand the champions rushes and will
be worn down quickly by the dashlng
attack of the American.
r. II. Street, New York Telephone
Company am good American and
would dislike to see the championship
title go out of the United States, but
at the same time I feel very friendly
to Carpenter, because he was over
there and Dempsey WAS not. Yes, be-
lieve in pugilistic contests, properly
conducted.
Harold Stern, bandmaster, orchestra
leader and composer believe Carpen-
tier will be able to stand off Dempsey
and gain the popular decision. The
Frenchman has great mental advan-
tage, and his plan probably will be to
stay away from the Dempsey onrushes
and outpoint his man.
]. Reeves, saIesmanI think the
fight will be short. There will be no
delay OH the part of Dempsey. He will
end it in short order. I will take 10 to
that Carpenter does not answer the
bell at the start of the second round.
Victor Herbert, musician and
composer-All | can say is that want
to see the best man win. Pm like the
fellow who said ''I don't like Beetho-
ven" when he should have said "'I don't
understand him." don't know any
thing about prizefghting, but, being
an American I would like to see an
American win.
George M. Cohan, playwright and
actor-I have never seen Carpenter,
but have seen Dempsey, and for that
reason I think Jack is going to win in
side of three rounds. This time I am
going to be there to see them both.
Eltinge F. Warner, magazine pub
lisher-I favor Carpenter to win. The
Frenchman's secret training shows he
is more serious toward the fight than
the champion is, and firmly believe
that this method ia somewhat of q
