JACK IS 4 NATURAL FIGHTER---GEORGES HAS BEEN TRAINED
Veteran Ringman Says Demp- sey Should Slaughter the Frenchman-HaS Met
 Both Men
By JAMES J. CoRBErT

Jack McAuliffe has amended his earlier news on the coming Dempsey Carpentier match; amended them to an extreme degree.
 Dempsey will beat the Frenchman and will do it in a hurry" is the McAuliffe idea now.
 Some time ago he couldn't see any one or anything but a triumph for the man from France.
 What caused the change of mind on the part of the former lightweight king?
 Nothing more nor less than the re- suit of exhibition rounds which he boxed with both gladiators, and which gave him the chance to get a real line on each man.
 HERE'S THE REASON
 T found out that Dempsey is a na- tural fighter-and that the Erenchman isn't" states McAuliffe. Any time a natural fighter gets into the ring with one who isn't the result is a1- most foregone conclusion.>
 "Carpentier is fast, very clever and he can hit But I don't reckon him any faster naturally than Dempsey, who. in my opinion, is the swlf.est hedNyWelSHL aIOOt In recent years. Carpenter can hit swiftly and rather surely, but, in the art of punching, Dempsey is his master. Every man knows that when Dempsey lands sol jelly to the jaw or the body, the target is going to fall.
 But there's no certainty that the same thing will happen when tho Frenchman lands. He has hit men on the chin and near the heart without dropping them. He doesn't pack with in many, many pounds the power which Dempsey does.
 Dempsey has all the natural. ad- vantages. He is several inches taller, will be perhaps 20 pounds heavier has about six inches edge reach. and is younger by several years
 JACK HAS ADVANTAGE
 Dempsey loves to fight. Nothing gives him greater joy than the clang of the gong which sends him in ac- ton. And when that bell rings. there steps forth the greatest natural war rior in years--and yet more years.
 A natural fighter doesn't need to be taught what to do while the fight is on, nor does he need advice from his corner. Instinct guides him--instinct tells him just what to do every sec- on that the battle is on
 WItn trained fighter 1t Is differ ent. Instinct isn't his guide. His les sons must serve hm. In the excitement of battle. he is very likely to forget what he has learned and become be- wildered. At such times advice from his seconds is supposed to help nim. But he's too badly rattled then to give heed to anything he hears--even if he hears it.
 GEORGES IS GOOD, BUT
 Mind you. l am not trying to belit- tle Carpenter. He is wonderful fighting machine; cool. crafty, clever, fast and with hitting power. Fitted against "a man of his own size, bulk and reach-and against a man who is manufactured. rather than a natural Iighter--the Frenchman is cinch to Win. But when he meets Dempsey ah, what a difference he will find.
 When those men face each other, my mony goes on Our American boy to win. For, in the final analysis, after boxing with both men, I find that Dempsey has the advantage in practically every department, and should drop him with knockout very very soon after he gets home a real smash to the jaw or the chin of the great French warrior.
 I'm not picking the round-yet. But 1t wouldn't surprise me if Demp- sey won in the very first session of lighting. It all depends upon how long 1t takes him to trick the French man into an opening"
