NEW YORK. June 30.-Before the gong
rings at Jersey City Saturday and while
the big fight between Dempsey and Car
pentler is In progress there will be an
other battle going on--a battle of wits
between Jack Kearns and Francois Des-
camps, managers Of the rival boxers.
Descamps has an unusual reputation
for craftiness. He Is said to have a whole
bag full Of tricks That he is keen a s a
razor ad quick as a cat to take advan-
tage Of every opportunity to disconcert
an opponent OF Carpenter while in the
ring or beat a rival manager to q mental
punch before the bell clangs is well
known.
Kearns is something Of a "Hindoo"
himself at this game. He has handled
fighters a good many years and never yet
has he had anything put across on him
that a fighter could lay on his shoulders
as a gross error.
REHEARsE PLANS
WITH FIGHTERS.
Both managers will have such battle
plans as can be made in advance Of the
actual conflict perfectly rehearsed with
the lighters long before ring time.
Both will take unusual care in exam
lining the bandages that Jack and Georges
will wear beneath their gloves; Descamps
In particular, because he has heard the
charges made by Willard at Toledo re
garding the unnatural hardness of Demp-
sey's bandages.
II will be remembered that Willard
claimed Jimmy DeForest, Dempsey's
trainer, used powdered plaster Of paris
or tin foil between the strips Of ad

BaStidEa Scores Big
Hit in College Net
Tourney OUer East

PHILADELPHIA, June So.-Rain to-
day threatened to force postponement Of
the semi-fnal matches of the intercolle-
giate lawn tennis tournament at Haver-
ford which were scheduled for this after.
noon.
One Of the big upsets of the tourna-
ment came in the fourth round Of the
singles yesterday when Carl Fischer, cap
tain of the University of Pennsylvania
team, was defeated in straight sets by
Fritz Bastian, University of Indiana, 63,
So.
Bastian, champion of the Western Con-
ference, won because of his steadier play
and excellent work at the net. He re-
turned Fischer's drives very deep, gradu-
ally working his way to the net; where
his volleying and cross court shots gave
him the advantage. While Bastian's serv-
ices was not severe, he used good judg-
ment in varying his pace.
In the semi-fnal matches Fritz Bastian
of Indiana University will meet Philip
Neer of Leland Stanford, and J. B. Fenno,
Jr.. of Harvard will play Mcneil Drum
wright, University of Texas.

The attention of the world is rlveted
on Jersey City.
No sporting event in history ever
evoked the interest aroused by the Car
pentier-Dempsey fight. How it has
stirred the people everywhere was re-
ve2led today II the following cablegrams
TO the United Press:
ITALIANS FAVOR JACK.
ROME, June 3O.-Jack Dempsey
was to 1 favorite here today to
win from Carpenter next Saturday.
The betting was unprecedented for
. boxing event. Italians like the
races and enjoy stalking their money,
but ordinarily they are "of" the
prize ring. But this match might
be scheduled for one OF the seven
hills of Rome, so keen Is the gossip,
so insistent the hackers of one or
the other fighter.
While Dempsey is a favorite. there
are large sections OF the betting
population faithful to Carpenter.
No picture of the ferociOus champion
with the "siege gun" left and right,
could alter the opinion OF the French
champion held by some.
Much OF this Carpenter feeling adj
mittedly was stirred by racial pride.
Georges is a Latin. the Italians want
q Latin to win.

Having tipped the scales this morning
at 17215 pounds and laid away the gloves
until Saturday afternoon, Georges de-
clares he will do nothing but rest from
now on.
Georges doctor is enthusiastic over his
condition. Gus Wilson. whose job it is
to massage and rub him down, says he
was never so clean cut and ready for
fight. Manager Descamps who goes
about the farm rubbing his hands and
smiling after the little furry of nerves
which affected the camp on Thursday, Is
on edge with confidence Carpenter
himself is the least worried man as far
as appearances go of any enc at Man
hasset. He avoided visitors today, but
in private joked and played cards and
seemed entirely at his ease.
All OF the difficulties which have
arisen during the last month have been
swept away, Carpenter and Descamps
are satisfied with the size of the ring
which has been completed and are pleased
with other arrangements.

PARIS, June 29.-The French people
are solidly behind Carpenter in his com

voicing q warning against what they
have considered over confidence based on
sentimental loyalty. French sportsmen
frankly admit that few OF them know
Dempsey, while Americans have bet
