GEORGES VERY CONFIDENT
Docs Not Lack Enthusi- asm for His Battle With Worlds Champion Jack Dempsey.

Manhasset. N. r., June 27.- Georges Carpentier will go into the ring at Jersey City next Saturday with only one thing in mind, an in- vincible determination to wrest the worlds championship from Jack Dempsey. This was the assertion of Gus Wilson, the challenger's chief trainer.
 There will be no snap for Jack Dempsey" Wilson said. He will have to be more than d great fight er to beat Georges. Never before in his fighting career has Carpentier displayed such determination as he does today. When he talks of the fight he grits his teeth and clenches his fists and remarks, He shall not beat me. Something tells me that I can defeat him and I shall do it. His hardest blows will not find me and those that he lands I know can stand.'"
 The challenger attaches a great deal of sentiment to the hundreds of letters he receives daily from war veterans and other Americans in all walks of life. !
 They want me to wfn," he said. They expect me to emerge from the ring champion and I will not disap- point them if every bone in my body is broken"
 Before Georges came to America this last time he had. according to Wilson. naturally, a great desire to beat Dempsey. But this desire has Increased to such an extent that now Carpenter cannot describe just what he feels.
 The Frenchman takes q great deal of interest in the daily mail because he likes to hear the many good things the American public has to say about him." Trainer Wilson said. ''He requires me to read every one of them. and he Is like a big boy in displaying his appreciation. Really, they have helped him, strange as it may seem. to attain the physical per- lection you see in him today"

$500. GOO FOR FIGHTERS.
Rickard Exercises His Contract Privi- Iese by Recalling PercentASe Clause.

New York. June 27.-yack Demp- 900 and Georges Carpenter $200,o0o regardless of the outcome of the championship fight at Jersey City on July ?.
 This became known today when the announcement that Tex Rickard, the promoter, had exercised his con- tract privi i1ege of recalling the pre- vious arrangement where by De empsey was to receive 3o per cent. of the re- ceipts and Carpenter 24 per cent.
 This guaranteed purse of half a million dollars is by far the greatest in ring history. This highest pre- vious record was the S127, 800 guar antea for the Dempsey-Willard match at Toledo in 1919.

IMAGINE BABE BUNTING.
This May Be a Reality Through Hug
 gins Plans.

New York June 27.-The sight of Babe Ruth, the home run king, lay ing down a bUnt along the third base line, is likely to become more familiar to fans around the American league circuit than heretofore.
 Several clubs have adopted a spe- cial defense against the slugger, mov- ing th9 third basemar toward the shortstop sector the sEcrtstop to sec ond base with the second baseman playing in short rightfield. Noting this Manager HugSins and Ruth be- lieve they can "crcss'' their opponents with an occa sional bunt and succeed in drawing them back into positions making longer hits easier to obtain, Ruth on two or three occasions last week tried out the scheme.
