NEW YORK, June 25.--We
were talking Of big men in the
ring with Georges Carpenter.
l happened to mention, the
enormous forearm Of Jack
Dempsey.
i told Georges Dempsey had
the arms Of Hercules and would
. surprise him when set up.
Carpenter smiled and kicked
his feet in the grass. Then he
looked up and said:
Beckett was strong. Very
strong. Strong as Dempsey and
me together"
Then he smiled again and
waited for the shock his remark
would make.
After giving Beckett the
mental once-over there was no

TOMMY GIBBONS
SAYS CHAMPION
WILL Be VICTOR
Leading American Contender
For Title to Challenge Win

BY JACK vEIocK.

NEW YORK. June 20. - "Jack
Dempsey will beat Georges carpsn-
tier when they get together st Jersey
City week from todayl
IT wouldn't attempt 70 say how
many rounds the night will last, but 7

So says Thomas Joseph (Kayo) Gib-
bons. leading American contender for
the title that adorns William Harri-
son Dempsey's shaggy brow.
Gibbons say so regarding the COM
ing scrap is interesting because he
himself expects to mingie with the
world champion before many months
have passed.
HAS RAPID RISE.
Tommy will be among the ring
celebrities who will be introduced to
the crowd at Jersey City next Satur-
day. and before making his little bow
he will challenge the winner of the
big hight.
Gibbons rise to the position Of
challenger has been rapid. He has
been fighting in heavyweight ranks
less than a year. He has beaten
everybody the promoters have been

and has won his last twelve fights by
knockouts. Willie Meehan, who has
always been hoodoo to Champion
Dempsey. fell before Gibbons in less
than a round
II expect to see Dempsey win" Glib
bons explained, because 1 believe he
has greater natural ability and hit
ting power than Carpenter.
GEORGES HAS CHANCE.
"of course. Georges has chance to
win. He may surprise everybody. He
carries the reputation of being a
clever. hard-hitting fellow. and 1 be-
lieve he Is plenty big enough IL he
can last out. l do not believe Georges
could defeat Dempsey over a short
distance, however and there is doubt
that he can stay there and take IL, so
all signs point to Dempsey as the
winner.
Dempsey and Carpenter have met
once before in the ring. This oc-
Cured at Madison Square Garden
when Tex Rickard frst opened his
fight club. They posed together for
the photographers. and Dempsey
said afterward:
He seems to be a nice fellow.
When we shook hands he told me IL
would be business the next time we
did it. but he said II right"
The champion resumed training
activities today after a brief vaca-
ton. In fact he is entering upon
the final stage of his training for
the big fight. So the workouts this
week will no doubt attract the big
gest crowds that have Travelled to
airport to watch Jack In action.
FOUR MORE DAYS.
Dempsey has only four more days
OF boxing ahead of him. and the main
problem of his handlers is to keep
him on edge and accustom him to
working under hot sun.
There Is a difference of opinion
among the experts as to whether
that is the proper way to prepare
for a daylight night. Some contend
that a boxer who works under a
burning sun day after day will leave
his fight behind him when he climbs
into the ring. Dempsey believes in
training the way he Will night. He Is
no hot-house flower and tofling under
the hot sun is not new to bom. OF
course. he won't ovcrdo II. II the
heat is as intense at Jersey City as
II was here yesterday Jack should
feel at hime. The heat won't bother
him.

I had said nothing of it to Diclky. In
deed, 1 felt a curious, unexplained re-
luctance to speak to Dicky of anything
concerning Robert Gordon. This feel
ing made my reply to Dicky short,
almost curt.
'T haven't the slightest idea" ] said.
ri don't think she knows herself"
Dicky turned and looked at me
quizzically.
whats the big idea?" he asked.
"Tired of hearing about the mysterious
Mr.. Gordon?"
Deadly tired!" I returned
Dicky laid his hand over mine. "She
shan't be bothered with any more ref
erences to elderly admirers" he said
gayly, and there was a note Of relief
in his voice that made me vince.
'You Bully SweetheartI"
For he had totally misunderstood my
meaning, and I was afraid that 1 had
meant him to do so. Tired of hearing
other people speak of Robert Gordon
and speculate about his interest in
me, I certainly was. But tired of the
man himself I felt I could never be.
He exercised the most curious fascina-
| ton for me. I longed to see him again,
fyet in the same instant / dreaded the
| interview. I had a half-guilty feeling
concerning the mans attraction for
me. and yet I knew that if Dicky could
| realize the nature of my real feeling
| toward the man he would have no
cause for jealousy.
p, I had no more time for introspection,
however. Dicky was in high spirits.
and he talked of everything and of
nothing, jumping from one subject to
another with such rapidity that it kept
my brain busy following him. 1t was
only after we had left the train, and
We're seated in the taxi rolling home

Wonder what particular grievance

pered, and then aloud: mo you're

wiped out and the position reversed.
Europe owing us much more py Dill
lions than we ever owed her. Inc an
nual interest charge on the debt to us
now exceeds the total value OF all
| the goods we imported from France,
Italy and England in any year preced-
ing the war. In addition we nave cut
down our payments to England for
shipping, for insurance and Tor bank
| ing services. Suppose we wiped out
the war debt and started in to let Eu-
rope pile up new debt!
Where would that get us? Evil
de1tly, it would get us right back
where we are now. Suppose we took
the balance due us in investments In
the countries to which we sent our
goods? Clearly, it would not be long
until the interest charges again Europe
wouId consume her entire ability to
pay and force us to cut production to
sit reduced markets. Why, then, have
we ever thought of doing these things
Because the economy we have been
taught IS English economy and not
American economy. England is q
converter, a consumer of raw mate
rails produced in other countries and
her ability to import is limited only by
her ability to convert. Hence, our
notion that riches are to be got by
trade.
I'VE are producers and converters,
too, and there is very little that the
rest of the world converts or produces
that we do not convert or produce for
ourselves. Therefore, the world has
nothing to give us that we want and
we cannot get rich through trade.
What we need Is an economic survey
for the plotting out of the things we
can do with profit and the things we
| cannot do with profit. We need a
system of world economy that will give
every nation a place in the sun, and
particularly every European nation
We cannot allow western Europe to
disintegrate; western Europe is the
ultimate barrier between the Asiatic
and ourselves, and our self interest
commands us to preserve that barrier
even though kinship sentiment does
not. We have the time, for the world
is young yet-we have the ability, for
we have dumbfounded the gods with
our accomplishments-a we need is
| the will; If we have that, it Is given
to us to do a thing that no race OF
men has ever done, and that is to pre-
serve civilization.
