ATLANTIC CITY, June 30.-Jack
Dempsey seems to have the blue
jimmies from thinking about the
Saturday date of his to fight a
friend in Jersey City. His smile
is an amicable fraud like the paster
cupids and art doodads over the
doors of the gimcrack joints alons
the Boardwalk This fellow needs
the action of pitch and catch with
thoughts off his mind.
The camp is full of spooks now
that most of the feld hands have
turned in their time and hit the
grit for Jersey City, some with
employees passes to the fight and
others with nothing but the su-
blime and illimitable gall of train
ing camp roustabouts. Their late
quarters in the big house next door
to the sunblistered, ugly dwelling
where Dempsey sleeps for the last
time tonight, are now deserted.
Except for half a dozen really
intimate friends of Dempsey. this
cleared out the place, making 1t
lonely enough without the further
gloom of a rain that came up just
after noon and soused the vicinage.
Dempsey was moping indoors with
his friend, Mike Trant, the Chicago
policeman, during the afternoon
peering out through the drizzle and
just wondering about what is to
happen Saturday afternoon. when
far down the road there appeared
a speck which developed Into a
wheelchair pushed by a diminutive
negro and containing a gross quar-
ter ton of Chicago politicians. come
out to shake Jacks hands because
their excursion ticket explicitly
called for a stop-over here to meet
the champion. There was talk of
chartering the chair for the return
trip to Chicago. but the chauffeur
dumped his passengers at Demp-
sey's gate.
Dempsey was hauled out onto the
porch to shake hands and talk fight
and laugh at the funny jokes of
fifty strangers-all in a mechanical,
got-to-be- polite way that he has
mastered as part of his liberal edu-
cation since becoming champion.
There was to have teen a little
workout this afternoon, but Jack
Kearns made Dempsey pass IL up
because of the rain. All he did
was take a short walk with, Trant
in the morning and crank his
phonograph to play the camp
hymn, Lead Kindly Light"
Dempsey isn't the happy individ-
ual that played mush-ball with the
show girls ball team on the sand
dunes here three weeks ago. He's
thinking about that fight and it's
plain that whatever the betting
odds may be, Jack Dempsey, to
himself, comedies this European
challenger far more than just an
outside chance to stay the limit.
People have told him the thing Is
a set-up but Dempsey figures he's
in for a fight.
The. getaway will be made on
one of the afternoon trains Friday
for Jersey City. where Dempsey
will spend the night in seclusion.

Carpenter Has Eis Last

BY RAY PEARSON. r.

NEW YORK, June 30.-with one
more day to elapse before Satur-
day. Georges Carpenter is sitting
pretty" in his Manhasset training
camp. The grind. although 1t has
not been a strenuous one, is ended.
1t was finished this afternoon when
the final session was staged indoors
in order that the champion of Eu-
rope might keep out OF aerain which
fell insistently from morning until
night
Tomorrow and Saturday morning
cises.
Manager Francois Deschamps made
good on his word that my Kop-
penteer" wouldn't do any more box
ing. for Georges didn't put on a
glove today and there will be no
more sparrins until Saturday aft
ernoon at Jersey City.
Georges today continued to be the
most cheerful person at the Man
hasset farm. He is on edge. but
hasn't developed that peevishness
which is so often associated with
ring gladiators who are fit for bat
tie. We can't say the same about
Deschamps and the other members
of the camp.
When they talk OF what might
happen on Saturday their express
sions radiate confidence. But those
are mere words. some spoken in
English and others in French, and
1t is hard, brother, for one to gaze
on Deschamp's and Georges helpers
ana see in their faces that they
expect to sec this man from France
nand larruping to the tough Jack
Dempsey. What they have to say
seems to be prompted by hope; 1t
Is not the kind of dope we found
around the world champions camp
at Atlantic City.
Having mentioned that Deschamps
and others at Manhasset are con-
noent Georges will be returned a
winner on Saturday. weIl give a
rev Of the opinions slipped to us
today:
Manager Deschamps - All, INV

A TEANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 80.
n Il grant you that perhaps
"A the only thing that makes the
accompanying sayings OF JACK
Dempsey interesting Is the fact
that he really did say them. They
were not fabricated for him and
then pushed at him for his sigma
ture. They are his and his alone.
They are as authentic as one of his
own right crosses to the Jaw, and
there are men of might still living
who can tell you how real they
Are. They are the outstanding
things he said to me during hours
of conversation. Some of them he
said when he was bored and
grumpy; some Of them just after
dinner when he was feeling at his
best. Sometimes Kearns would be
sitting with us and occasionally
Jacks candor would make him look
up with quick calculation as to
whether Jack were not tipping the
beans. But Jack would grumble
along just the same.
For what they are-wise or dull,
genial or cross-they are Jack all

Like Dempsey. Carpenter has never
broken or buckled his sturdy hands
in a hght.
One OF the most amusing things
connected with this bout are the
rumors circulated everywhere. One
of these is that Jimmy DeForest,
who trained Dempsey for the fight
with willard, says Jack had ''an
iron bar" in each glove, thus ex-
planning the terrific effect of his
punches when he knocked the gi-
gantic willard down. DeFores:
may have said that Dempsey-s
hands were like iron-which isn't
far from the truth, especially when
they are we'll picked by rubbing
with brine for month before n
bout. Manager Descamps heard the
tale Of the two iron bars, and hiked
over to New York to see Rickard
about it. Descamps says that ne
doesn't want any tricks" pulled,
and that nothing of a foxy" nature
will be attempted by the Carpen-
ier side of the argument. Rickard
assured him that everything would
be on the up and up. By this time
the iron bar sstory'o is probably
arousing Indignation II France.
adding a fll-up to the tale that
tGeorges is to be forced 20 fight in,
small ring where he won't ha--
foot room.
Odds Still Favor Jack.
As for the iron bar" stuff, both
Dempsey and willard entered the
ring with hands soft-taped, and
tape and gloves were carefully in
spected by the referee, vino m
spected and supervised the putting
on of the gloves. assisted in each
case by men from the opposite cor
ner. The only thing in Dempsey's
gloves was a set of big. hard
knuckles.
There is very little -oetting-less
than on any championship bout 1
have ever seen. Even Bernard
Shaw's announcement that everyone
knows Carpenter ought to be
i0-to-1 favorite, and that all Ameri-
can sporting writer's are boosting
Dempsey to help the odds when they
bet on Carpenter, hasn't loosened
up the Carpenter kale. The public
likes Carpenter, and everyone
wants to see him have a perfectly
fair chance to take the title home
il he's able to. He may surprise
the world by knocking Dempsey
out. There's a chance of it. But
the probabilities favor the Ameri-
can champion. His record in the
ring. a long list OF one-round
knockouts with no reverse, since he
was a mere novice, is rather impos-
ing when compared to that of Car
pentier. As for the English heavy
weight champions Carpenter has
whipped. they have also been
beaten by Frank Moran, who Is so
far from being In Dempsey's class
that Dempsey Moran match
would be laughed at in this coun-
try.
Another thing that MAKES this a
match is that Dempsey has not
shown the form he displayed at
Toledo He is bigger, ana he looks
better, but he is undeniably slower.
When he won the championship he
had gone through hard years, with
ring engagements nearly every
week. plain food, much hard work,
and little luxury. Now he has had
two years of soft living, punctu-
ated only by two bouts and a fair
amount of training in gymnasiums.
Stfn. Dempsey is great nghter;
and as for soft living. 1 haven't
seen Georges Carpenter doing
much work with a pick and shovel,
either.
