The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-05-21
BY FRANK G. MENKE

Some of the folks who are quite
sure that G. Carpenter of Paree. is
going to knock J. Dempsey consider
ably cuckoo on July 2, eXude along
these lines:
Dempsey must be judged on his last
fight. That was against the slow,
awkward Bill Brennan. 1t required II
rounds for Dempsey to put away Bren-
nan. Meanwhile Brennan peppered
the champion at will. If Dempsey
couldn't polish off the clumsy Bren-
nan in less than II rounds, and Bren-
Dempsey, then it follows, as a line OF
reasoning, that Carpenter is a cinch
to win.
why? Well, il Brennan could hit
Dempsey 100 times, the flashy French
man can hit him 800 times in the
same distance. And if Dempsey missed
two out OF every five leads for the
flat footed Brennan, he won't land
one punch in five on Carpenter.
Wherefore, the Frenchman will
he pecks more steam in his smashes
than Brennan ever did So the
Frenchman will land three or four
blows to one-and he packs more
steam in his smashes than Brennan
ever did. So the Frenchman is a sure
thing to win
Blah.
Jack Wasn't Himself.
Those who calculate along these
lines fail to take into consideration
the mightiest factor of all in con-
nection with that Brennan-Dempsev
fracaS. And that is that Dempsey
wasn't himself that night.
Why?
He explained it after the fight in
this way:
II didn't feel right in the early
rounds. Just couldn't get started un.
til along about the 9th or 10th. But
when I once got started I was all
full of the old pep, the wallops began
to find their tarset-and I knew IG
get Brennan sure"
Dempsey was off stride" that night.
through no fault of his own. He suf-
rered slump or a lack of pep" that
every human in every endeayor Of life
occasionally suffers. And there Is no
fixed time for that slump
Happens to Everybody.
Some mornings you hop out of the
feathers. full of zip. enthusiasm and
ambition. You carry it with you all
through the day. No job. is too diff
cult for you to tackle; nothing wear
les YOU. Yet the very next day, for
no reason at all, you feel sluggish
lazy and almost have to drive your
self about your appointed tasks.
Can you explain your form rever-
Sal?"
An athlete goes on to the ball field
today and electrifies the crowd with
his brilliant performance. Nothing
gets past him in the field. He is leap.
ing six feet into the air after this
drive, scooping the next sizzler out of
the dirt and racing into other terri

rival batsman But tomorrow he
fumbles couple and is dead on his
feet.

DEMPSEY POSTPONES
INTENSIVE TRAINING
(By Associated Press)

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 21.-
Intensive training scheduled to be
started by Jack Dempsey today in
preparation for the worlds champion
ship contest with Georges CARPENTER
July ,. has been definitely postponed,
according to announcement by Jack
kearns, manager of the champion.
Instead Of lengthy program OF
training activities, Dempsey will con-
tent himself with short workouts each
afternoon abandoning road work in
the merning for the present. The
champion does not want to risk reach
ing the peak of his fighting condition
TOO early in his training, as was the
case at Toledo when he fought Jess
willard and was obliged to halt train
ing and resume it later.
Manager kearn, in announcing the
change in training plans, said that
Dempsey had reported at camp in
better physical condition than he had
anticipated and three weeks of real
training would be all the champion
would need to whip him into perfect
fighting condition. Until the inten-
sive training program is launched
Dempsey will continue to box three to
five rounds daily, in addition to shad
ow boxing, bag punching and other
routine. He probably will begin work
ing in the new open air arena next
week. Playing baseball is forming
part of the champions training and
recreation. Last night he attended a
banquet at which Mayor Bader and
other city officials were guests.

mered from the boz in his next start,
Why is it that star golfers negotiats
course in per--or undergone da:
and take Is to 20 strokes more the
next?
Dempsey has fought 20 spectacula-
nights in three or four years AMI
two indifferent ones. The first was
against Willie Meehan on the Coast
in 1918. The roly poly beat him to
the 4-round decision-to the astonish-
ment of the Gstic world. Immediately
there was mighty chorus:
Dempsey either was oyerrated or
ne has gone back"
No one offered the real reason
that Dempsey was just "off stride"
that night sluggish and slow for NO
applicable reason.
Against Brennan il was the same.
Champ on Stride.
The champion went into the rinS off
astride. He looked too finely drawn.
And he was. He couldn't get up a
sweat for seven or eight rounds. His
muscles weren't co-ordinating with his
eye and brain. And so he missed
often, looked unlike a mighty cham
pion-and Brennan hit him again and
again.
But Brennan never hurt him-never
drove him back. TIE attack of his
rival wasn't working Dempsey. His
failure TO md" himseif-that was the
worry. Dempsey fought TO hit his
true stride through these early rounds
more than he fought Brennan. Along
IN the 9th or 10th the old Dempsey
| the miraculous Dempsey-came back
And then the knell began to sound
for Bill Brennan
If the Frenchman should happen -
catch Dempsey Off stride on July "a
remote possibility, he has a faint
chance to beat him-just faint and no
more. Brennan caught Dempsey off
stride on December 14-yet Brennan
couldn't beat him. And later day
events probably will prove that Car
pentier isn't as good a warrior as is
Brennan.

pep UP CARPENTER
WITH PSYCHOLOGY

MANHASSET, n. Y, May 21.--
Large colored Autographs adjoining
the walls of the indoor gymnasium in
Georges Carpenters training camp
are among the most interesting of con-
trlvances employed by Manager Des-
camps and Trainer Wilson to aid in
bringing the challenger into condi-
ton and keeping him there
On one wall is large poster show
ing the Frenchma n standing in tri-
umph over Joe Beckett at the knock
out. At the other side of the ring
Carpenter is shown after the victory
being hoisted to the shoulders of ad-
mirers. Around the walls are other
pictures Of the European champion.
Admittedly. he is not to be allowed to
forget the slogan of the camp. which
is that he is the greatest boxer in
the world and sure to be the cham
pion after July .
THE psychology employed by the
shrewd Descamps since Carpenter en-
tered the ring as boy under his di-
rection has been one of the stock
legends of boxing. 1t will be played
to the limit in the preparation for
the coming battle at Jersey City. Car
pentier left France at fighting weight
and in excellent condition, Descamps
declared, and the main function of the
next five weeks will be- to prevent
him from going stale physically and
maintain that state of mind which
will send him against Dempsey conf
dent of victory.
The occasional cigarette, with jelly
and sweets in moderation, which are
being given the boxer during his week
of rest, tend to show the confidence
of his directors in his present physical
fitness

afternoon in six inning game by
the score of S to 6. The score was
close throughout and it was anybodies
game until the last out

hurting duty and both did some fine
throwing. allowing only four hits and
striking out five batsmen. The field
ing of the Meats was not up to stand

hits when hits meant runs.
Elliott was the hitting star of the
game getting two hits out of two
times to bat including a double Craw-
