Georges Carpenters training camp
today. He wore no hat. and his hair,
shorn close to the head. was hardly
discernible. II say" said . youth.
who jumped from a bicycle. 'How's
Georges today"
I'm fine thank you" the young man
at the gate said y am very well, and
how are you?"
The youth realized then that he was
talking to the challenger himself.
'Aw, gee whiz. Georges" he said
mournfully. you amt as good look
ing as you were," and Georges threw
back his shoulders and laughed.
Yesterday the tonsorial artist Of
Manhasset visited the camp with his
clippers and when he went back to
his shop on MAnhasset hill he car
ried the challenger's hair with him.
'-Tis." he said, "is my souvenir"
ALI the members of the camp were
guying the challenger today because
of his almost bald pate and address

1t is in order for the fans to dispel
these worries right now. Dempsey,
when making his fight in the ring,
is lot different from Dempsey pull
ing punches in a practice tilt with a
lighter sparring partner. Any one
who has seen the champion in action
knows that his best defense is his
whirlwind attack. and when he
chooses to fight there is no one go
ing to have much time to wallop him
Cannot Cut Loose.
In sparring bouts the champion
cannot cut loose. 1t is true he for
gets occasionally and lets the
punches fy. but a yell from me or
Teddy Hayes always brings him
back to earth again. On the average.
however. the real Dempsey is not on
exhibition in his training camp box
ing bouts for the reason that his
sparring partners are not able to
stand the Furnishing. That is how it
punch would slide through.
Dempsey, in my opinion. is immune
from a right-hand punch such as
Carpentiers for the reason that he
has his pet hook delivered before a
right handler started at him has time
to get we'll under way, and a Demp-
sey hook to the body will bother the
aim of any right-hand swinger in
the business.

other day about the champions work

worked on that particular day.

The French people are solidly behind
Carpenter. but the sporting papers for
several weeks have been voicing a
warning against what they have con-

better chance to appraise Carpenter.

NEW YORK, June 28.-The Demp-

Jack simply felt he wanted to work

the champion.
perhaps the reason the titleholder
decided to work in secret was to sat-

stale or slowed up in his boxing or
footwork. Some noted trainers and
athletes have been rather strong in
their criticism that they believed
Dempsey was too finely drawn. But
the champion in his workout yes

is really to blame for this condition
but a seaman who secretly consign-

contraband was kept was a visitor

were being watched by a Govern
