GEORGES DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT BIG
 BOUT WITH CHAMP
By Associated Press

ling an American war song, Georges Carpenter tripped up the stairs of his training camp residence at g o'clock tonight, called a cheery good night" to his comrades and jumped into bed.
 Throughout the. day the challen- ger was light-hearted. There was always a song On his lips and a smile on his face. Late in the afternoon he left his chair on the front porch to play ball with a crowd of boys in the roadway. He seemed oblivious of the fact that his chance at the lons-desred worlds heavy weight championship was less than 14 hours away
 Georges Not Worried
 There was apparently no worry in the challensers head over the trial of the morrow. as he tossed the ball around and whooped as loud as any of his youthful admirers. With all of the careless abandon of real boy, he dsrted hither and thither, and .n- dulged in lively repartee with his playmates.
 Fight talk, insofar as Georges was concerned, was under the ban. Stories of the war were told by diff ferent members of the camp and Trainer Wilson, who has shown some talent as buck and wing dancer, entertained with photograph &C., compartment
 Out in the Rain
 heavy rain gretted the challen- ger when he answered reveille this morning but he braved it and started for the woods with Paul Journee and Charles Ledoux. They were out about three quarters of an hour, and returned soaked to the skin. Georges was given a good rub down and was swathed in blankets. He stayed in. doors until after lunch then went to the porch and his camp chair
 Carpenter has made friends with several boys in the neighborhood. and they were the leaders of the party who played baseball with him. One Of them, whom Georges named Marshal Foch," because of his strat- egy in getting into the camp on pri- vate workout days, said to him this afternoon:
 Georges, I think you're aboat the incest fellow I ever met, but Demp seys going to beat you tomorrow"
 Georges patted the youngster on the shoulder:
 that" he returned, you're what call & real good American"
 Manager Descnmps Says
 Manager Descamps was in high gcod humor and talked freely about the fight.
 As translated by Trainer Wilson, he said:
 There will be no fooling tomor- row. Georges is in great condition, better than he ever was in his life, and we can offer no excuse. In fact. we are confident. Of course it would be silly to say flatly that Georges would win, because you never can tell what might happen.
 Trainer Wilson said before we came over that if he could get Georges in as good condition as he was for the Joe Beckett fight he did not believe Dempsey could defeat him. Georges is even better than he WAS TOT beCAett, anu lHere youi answer.
 Somebody May Catch It
 "The fight will not be stopped. Either Georges will knock out Demp- sey or Dempsey will knock out Georges. My Carpentier, he will fight as he has never fought before because he wants that championship. He isn't worrying one bit about it; he knows how he feels and he tells me he will go to it."
 Then Trainer Wilson spoke for himself:
 Many people think that this will be dancin& exhibition, and that Georges will wait out Dempsey and keep away from him for. the entire 12 rounds. I am not saying that Car pentier will dive in foolishly and slug from the moment the first bell rings. but I do mean that he will fight Dempsey and fight him viciously.
 q have been against Carpenter in many of his bouts. For instance. conditioned Joe Jeanette for his fight with Georges in Paris some years ago. When Joe went into the ring I cautioned him to be wary Of Georges right. Joe said, "Oh. this boy can't hurt me, he's just 2 Kid But along during the fight Joe feint- ed with his left and started right. Georges lodged it neatly and hit Joe squarely with an overhanded right. Jeanette went to the floor like piece of lead and stayed down for count of nine.
 Georges Is Dangerous
 Georges is dangerous, and l think the greatest fighter in the world to- day. They talk about Dempsey being too strong for him. I want to know if any of these people making such remarks ever saw Joe Beckett. lie could pick up Georges in one hand, Dempsey in the other and knock their heads together: he is that strong Yet Georges floored him in one round-
 Its all a matter of ring knowi- edge, and Georges knows too much for the champion
 Georges will remain in camp to- morrow morning until 1l:30 o'clock when lunch will be served. Then ne will motor to Port Washington and 20 aboard the 65-foot power yacht Lone Star. When the craft puts out into the sound Georges will lie down for a nap, The boat will dock Tn Jersey City at about 1:4o o'clock ana will be met by q detail Of motorcycie nolicemen. The party will motor Tn a roundabout way to the arena, ana be ready to go into the ring promptiy at 8 o'clock, or earlier 1T caiieo' FAMOUS OLD RESORT
