SUMMIT, May 5-Jack Dempsey,
world heavyweight champion, who
is engaging in light training at
Freddy Welsh's farm near here for
his bout July . with Georges Car
pentier has added two sparring part
ners. They are Alex Trambidas,
Poland, Oregon, middle weight,
and Steve Latzo, Scranton, Pa, well
terweight.
The champion has discouraged
large attendances of his workouts
which for the last several days, has
included rounds Of boxing and the
customary road and gymnasium
work. Dempsey has displayed great
interest in Welch's efforts to come
back to the ring and has refereed
the bouts of the last two nights in
which the former lightweight title
holder was victorious. Revelle
sounds for Dempsey at daybreak.
He has been doing his work with
Joe Benjamin, Pacific coast light
weight. 1t was reported today that
Jack Kearns the champions man.
ager, had arranged details at the
Dempsey camp in Atlantic City and
that Dempsey would probably go
there tomorrow, Tex Richard, when
questioned yesterday regarding the
referee. said there were many good
men available in New Jersey.

BY f.. NJ. Thierry

NEW YORK-The big rush has
begun.
Everybody's trying to see Tex
Richard.
Crowds are falling all over them
selves trying to get to him. Those
who don't want jobs want conces-
sions: and those who want neither
jobs and concessions want tickets
|, It's raining people and gold
around Madison Square Garden. Up
there in the tower is barricaded the
Carpenter million-dOllar fight.
A broad shouldered "office boy"
and five flights Of stairs stand be-
tween the crowd and Richard.
Only the money-laden postman
glides by unchallenged.
"A million-dollar fight?" says
Richard. 1T certainly looks like it
the way the moneys pouring in.
More than 100000 has arrived
already. And the tickets aren't even
printed!
"And the arena isn't built yet!
Looks as if We'll sell the tickets first
and build the arena to measure
Architects plans cover Rick
ards desk. They are plans for
the arena, to be built on Boyle's
Thirty Acres" ove in Jersey City.
Also. there are plans for tempo
rary houses for workmen. These
houses are just beginning to go up;
Ir a few more weeks Thirty Acres"
will look like a war munition town
in its first bloom.
We're figuring on the arena cost
ing 800, 000," said Richard. maybe
if will cost more-if we make it big
enough to hold 5000 people.
my first idea was an arena for
$4,000 people-or at most, 10000.
but We'll make the arena larger II
necessary.
Tickets will run from IS to $50.
On this basis the total receipts can
easily top the million dollar mark.
That will be more than twice the
receipts at the Dempsey-Willard
fight in Toledo. which fell some
thing short of q half million.
We are in a better location here"
says Tex. "A few minutes ride in
the Hudson Tubes will take you
from New York to either Grove
street or Summit avenue station.
Thirty Acres is about half way be-
tween these two tube stations.
zone reason I picked this site,
right in New York's back yard, was
the fact that three railroads run
near. There is track space for 240
Pullman cars. So even if the hotels
are full, people from out of town
can live in the Pullmans."
Are they coming from long dis
tances to see Dempsey and Car
pentier mix?

ACME BASEBALL CLUB
TO BATTLE MORGAN A. G.

"Panny" Terio's Acme baseball club
is scheduled to oppose the Morgan A.
C. nine at South Amboy Sunday af-
ternoon. and the local tossers are
confident of throwing off their los
ing streak in this game. The AGNES
were scheduled to play in Passaic
last Sunday. but the weather con-
ditions were responsible for the call
ing off of this contest, until a later
date.
To date this season the Acmes have
participated in two games, both con-
tests were dropped by close margins,
one to Red Bank and the other to
the Keyport representative team.
Manager Terio feels confident that
when his new lineup takes h field
against Morgan on Sunday after
noon, there will be a different story
to tell.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-05-05
who wins"

A change for the better in the
all-around public attitude toward
the big bout has come since Rick
ard, after severing relations with
Charles e. Cochran and William A.
Brady, announced that the 100000
purse has been eliminated.
SO now both Dempsey and Car
pentier have more at stake. The
gross ioceipts, the loser "a per cent.
II the gate is $1,000, 900 that
means 100000 for the winner and
., 900 for the loser. The arenas
cost of 100000 will boost the to-
tai fight cost to 100000. Besides
that there will be huge amounts to
be paid for upkeep Of the arena,
attendants wages. etc.
One "small'' item in Richards
is $4,000 he has just paid
of a premium on a joint accident
insurance policy of $1,000 600 on
Dempsey and Carpenter.
Rlckard has paid this premium
for two months protection; he can
collect 100000 if either fighter
breaks a finger or a leg, gets sick
or in any way is prcve.t ted from
appearing in the ring July 2: IL
either dies, Richard is out of luck.
for it's strictly an accident insur-
ance policy.
Another item will be a $4,000
purse for a first class preliminary
to the big bout. Richard denies
it will be Benny Leonard and Fred
die Welsh.
The New Jersey boxing law per-
mits IL rounds with no decision.
Which makes 1t a tougher Job for
Carpenter than for Dempsey.
Had you thought of this: That to
win the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship Carpenter must knock
| Dempsey out: but to retain his title
Dempsey will not be compelled to
knock out Carpenter?

Just now money is talking in a very
