 Atlantic City, June 25-Another possibility in the coming Dempsey Carp bout is that it may be won and lost in one punch
 I believe that Dempsey can knock the Frenchman out in a punch if he hits him solidly.
 I also believe that Carpenter has enough stuff behind his right hand to knock Dempsey out in a single punch if it is properly landed.
 In a drawn out siugging match, of course, I imagine Dempsey would have the edge because of his more rugged body, yet Carp has proven that he can take a mighty hard jolt or a series of them and still stay on his feet
 Carpentier may do against Demp- sey as I did with F'itzsimm ons: F'itz hit me on the jaw-yes-but l was going away and he did D<1t hurt me. And as the fact was apparent to him it did not encourage him to any extent. It did cause him to play the waiting game
 Sullivan, who could hit like pile driver, also found me going away and I made him miss a. mile. It was the same with Jeff, Choynsk and others.
 Now, if Champion Jack goes af-

DELANEY-BOGASH
 BOUT TALK GROWS

A lot of buzZing is going the rounds in local boxing circles over the pro- posed bout between Louis Bogash and Jack Delaney, but thus far none of the local promoters are running over themselves in trying to arrange such an attraction.
 Today, it was reported, that a for mer boxing promoter who has been out of the game for some time, is seriously considering taking the mat ter up with the Bogash and Delaney interests. In connection with the report, Pleasure Beach has been men toned as the probable place for the battle.
 The story appearing in Wednes- days Times of the $2,00 demand by Bogash has caused Al Jennings, De- laney's manager, to throw some more smoke on the screen. Jennings let ter received this morning, follows: ItMr. George FirstbrOok,

ter Georges with a rush as he has been in the habit of doing and fails to nail him in the first round Georges may find time to work out a problem of defense and attack that will carry him along despite Demp- seys rushes and it is reasonable to say that the longer be stays the bet ter his chances of winning will be even though he must win by a knockout if he is to annex the title
 Dempsey, of course, is a, very busi- nesslike fighter. Looking him over this week l am satisfied that he is in good condition.
 He did not imprses me as being quite so careful as he was at Toledo and, having seen both men in action so recently, I can say that the cham pion is not as quick as the French man. In fact, Dempsey is not as speedy as most people think He does hit from any angle, which is a big item, and he used both hands ef. fectively, whereas Camps right is his one big bet.

Grant Called 'Boozer', But He Won Battles

The glorious triumph of the Yale crew over Harvard follow ing closely after Guy Nickalls had lodged his famous ''Booze- fighting charges against mem berS of the Blue crew recalls an incident of Civil War days in Washington.
 Gen. Grant, whose strategy was winning victories for the Union armies, never refused a drink of good Ticker; in fact, he went on record once upon time as saying that it was good stuff for fellow in any kind of a fight.
 At the time one of Grants enemies and trouble-makers went to Lincoln with a tattling tongue and informed the Presi- dent that Gen. Grant was drink ing heavily. Lincoln tossed him aside in disgust and exclaimed something like this:
 Tell me the brand of whiskey he drinks and I'll send some to my other generals, and maybe they'll win some battles.'

day was the fruit of long battle of wits, in which brain was matched with brain and strategy pitted against strategy. Behind Harvard's plan of campaign lay the additional factor of superior strength and brawn, while Yale had to depend on pure grit and indomitable courage to carry into effect the designs of Coach James COrderry.
 Long before the race began it was understood that YaIe's plan of pro- cedure would be to jump away fast at the start, carry Harvard along at a rapid clip and force the Crimson to shorten his stroke, raise the beat and begin the slide rushing that has been one of Harvard's weaknesses. And Yale did this very thing, flashing away from the starting line in an open invitation to Harvard to follow at it's peril.

fl. R. Epidemic
 Mystery B0red

Philadelphia, June 25-Lee Meadows, of the Philadelphia National League pitching staff, believes the many home runs this year are not due to superior work of the batSmen, but to the fact that the baSeballS are wound tighter and are more snug and smooth.
 s.I was talking with Babe Adams" Meadows is quoted as saying. Adams said the ball was never so hard to curve as this year. Being tighter wound and tighter covered makes the ball more resilient and the fact that the pitchers handicaps have been increased is, in my opinion. the cause of the home run epidemic. It's the same for all the pitchers. There is nothing unfair about ii"

'Sp porting Editor, Times:
 ''I read a statement in the Times that Louis Bogash wants a guarantee of $2,500 to box Jack Delaney. Well, Louis must think he is worth that kind of money and you can't stop a person from thinking.
 'tI don't want any guarantee for Delaney's services to box that bird Bogash, but I am willing to let De- 1aney work on a fair percentage in order to get Louis in the squared circle, and you or anyone else can make a. bet that BOgash will not be battling a cripple when he enters the ring with Delaney.
 '4I have stated previously that De- fancy will make the midd1eweight limit for Louis, eight hours before entering the ring.
