III Scores and Ne1Us, Gossip of the RING
JACK GENTLE WITH DOGS, BUT
NOT SO WITH SPARRING MATES

the maple sugar l made. Here Is a can
full. Get piece of paper and put some
in your pocket. It's like mother used to
make. | make it right here in the
kitchen"
We left well heeled. If Dempsey con-
tinues to work in the future as he has In
the past they'll need 500 sparring part
ners down here. In the afternoon ,Demp-
sey and his sparring mates sprinted down
to the aerodrome, where his indoor ring
Is htted IN, and started light work.
HURRIES THROUGH
TRAINING PAGES.
Dempsey wasn't the same smiling, boy
ish chap we had seen few minutes be-
fore. He was a fighting man, full of
business. He doesn't look to the right or
TO the left, but goes about his work as
though he was being paid by the second
and wanted to earn HIS money.
Stopping the shadow work he strolled
over to the leather sandbag and ham
mered it for twelve minutes. You can
Judge his condition by that alone. Any
bag for that length of time must be IN
fair shape. Without a moments rest, he
took on big Jack Renault and they
started at it. During the three minutes
Renault was in there Dempsey knocked
him all over the ring. Jack Clifford and
Leo Houck followed Renault and both
took 'em as the sandbag had taken 'em.
After some exercise Of the stomach
muscles and some rolling around, the
champion called 1t a day.
The gang at Airport and the news
paper boys here have a ball game every
afternoon when Dempsey finishes his
work Jack plays first base and is
already the Babe Ruth Of this league.

King George Believes
Jack Has Too Many Guns
for French Challenger

PARIS, May 21.-KInE George of
England picks Jack Dempsey to beat
Georges Carpenter. This royal
sporting forecast was revealed here
today by Hugh c. Wallace, the
American Ambassador to France, who
was recently the guest of Lord Derby
In London.
King George would like TO see the
fight, but of course, being "a king,
he cannot run across the Atlantic to
Jersey City.
Ambassador Wallace went to Eng
land to see the Grand National, one
of the classics of the British turf. He
met King George. and as moving pic

for Carpenter, although Carpenter
may survive the American"

REAL ATHLETE
Day With Georges Shows Vet
That Champ Has Job
on Hands.
KILLS NERVE RUMOR
BY JAMES j. CORBETT.

Former Worlds Heavyweight Champion.
MANHASSET, L. l., Nav 21.-Georges
Carpenter is a real athlete. He is In
telligent too, and very scienticflc about
everything tFHt he does
can make ;hese positive statements
after visiting i'm at his training camp
here and l w at to say that whether he
wins from Jack Dempsey or not, he Is a
mighty likely looking chap.
He showed me through his quarters
here, explained everything and seemed
to be very contented. He has ideal quar-
ters. / like them very much, much bet
ter than Demrsey's in fact, because they
are away from the big crowds.
The indoor and outdoor rings are well
set up, though smaller than the one in
which Georges will meet Dempsey at
Jersey City. He explained that he al
ways works in q small ring because when
he gets into a real fight it gives him a
feeling that he has more room.
Some people have gained the impression
that Georges is nervous. l don't think
so. He strikes me as perfectly natural
visit so far as l can see. As for the
nervous part Of it-why should he be
nervous? He has had many a fight in
his time and one more or less should
make no difference to him.
He told me that he weighs IT'S pounds
and expects to go into the ring Weighing
no more than 40. That weight is plenty
for him and | can say that he will be
big enough to face any man. why,
when fought Peter Jackson years ago,
1 weighed only 16S pounds and he
weighed 204, yet we fought sixty one
rounds and were at It four hours
Carpenter planned to spend today, to-
morrow and perhaps Monday resting. He
viii begin light boxing and increase his
road work beginning Tuesday, accord
ing to plans. Like Dempsey he is going
to start with light work and whoop it
up as the time grows shorter.
