Carpenter Develops Speed and Big Punch
While Dempsey Performs to Big Crowds Frenchmen Has Only Camp Aides in Inner Circle

There is only one thing in winch the camps of Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter show marked re- senblanCe-a Belgian police dog Is the Frcnchman's pal at Manhasset, and two animals of the same breed are Jacks constant companions at his Atlantic City amphitheater,
 Of course, the fact Georges brought his dog over from France and that it served the tri-color with distinction at Ncrdun and on other strenuous oc- casions when the history Ot the world was being rcvamped gives the import ed Flip a cause not to desire com parison with the Dempsey mascots.
 So far as has been noised abroad, neither of the Dempsey hounds ever was closer to Europe than an oceans breadth. Accordingly in this partlcu- lar item of camp news Carpenter has the call over his American rival about forty ways
 Even Belgian police dog has right to be proud of laurels won under shell-hrc. Nobody would blame the Frenchman' silken haired canine hero if he should fail even to accord the inmates of the Dempsey kennel bark of recognition if they should chance to meet before or aftei the big Jersey City rumpus. On the other hand, American dogdom would be perfectly justified in staging a jubi- lee solely in honor of Flip.
 Camps Are Widely Different.
 Leave the Belgian dogs out of the picture, and nothing except an I8-foot ring with a canvas-covered floor and perhaps punching bag or two can be found at the Manhasset camp that will remind the visitor of Dempsey's train | ing quarters, with bleachers for paid patrons and the mighty Atlantic roar ing necessarily just beyond the in | closure.
 For instance, when Carpenter re- marked yesterday in discussing his quarters: "Oh, it is fine. Plenty fresh air and milk See my cows!" he went long way toward emphasizing the difference between his makeup and that of the heavyweight champion.
 If Dempsey had COWS in his quar- ters he doubtless would have re marked: "Great, my COWS; such won dcrful beefsteak they'll make"
 He probably would not have given the fresh air a thought; and as for fowls, which abound at Manhasset, the American pugilist doubtless would have directed his comments at chick ems of an entirely different variety. l temperament Georges demonstrates every second of the day that he is the exact opposite of Dempsey. I'm agine Dempsey shirking a bunch of newspaper reporters or complaining that to pose would mar his day of rest Not Jacques Dempsey. The more the merrier IS the creed of Dempsey and his manager, Jack kearns, so far as reporters arc con- cerned, because the American heavy weight has been trained to, court pub licity, and he appreciates that the press is powerful ally of bulging pocketbook for the fighter
 Simple Life for Carpenter.
 The simple life that Carpenter is leading down on Long Island would would the fast pace Jack is clipping off at Atlantic City spoil the mental and physical attitude that the French man hopes to carry with him to Boyle's "thirty acres"
 i Carpenters camp site was selected mainly because it was the quietest spot that could be found in the imme- diate vicinity of New York. Demp- scy went to Atlantic City because the crowds just now are hocking there and will keep the old turnstle spin | nlng during the hours Jack IS slam ming sparring partners about the l ring.
 Carpenter has displayed enough in training to convince those who watch ed him that Dempsey is going to be hitting at a mighty shifty target in his next battle Georges is as light as a cat on his feet, as Paul Journce, one of his sparring partners, noted in conversation, and he knows how to handle his arms, body and hands.
 He can hit in almost any direction and he puts a goodly kick to his wal | lops, but he only has I7o pounds to carry his blows through. Moreover, 1 in long battle, the Frenchman is apt to tire.
 There is no doubt, judging by bits of conversation glcancd around the Manhassct farm, that the idea of Des- camps Is to set a terrific pace from l the first gong and have it all over quickly, after the manner in which Carpenter disposed of Beckett, the | English champion. That was a typi- cal one-punCh encounter, and the assertion by DcsCamps that one blow will wind up the Jersey City affair speaks worlds of the French plan of campaign.
