By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion. (COpyriSht by l. N S.) N

New York, July 1-The 'fbattle of the century'-the biggest international scrap since I met Charley Mitchell years ago-is almost upon us. By tomorrow night we should know whether Jack Dempsey is still the peer of the worlds fighters or whether Georges Carpenter, the challenger from across the ocean, is all that has been claimed for him by his friends on the other side.

 In the same breath I wants to state that I think Carpentier has practically an even chance and that the odds on the champion are wrong. Georges is an even bet and as I always figure there is a shade between two men

Bedfords ake Steps ToHave 

Steps will probably be taken by the family of E. T. Bedford, wealthy res- ident of Greens Farms, to secure a retria1 in the case of Charles Bedford, his grandson, who has been sentenced to jail for the theft of an automobile in Michigan City, Ind The petition for retria1 will be based on the claim that the court had no knowledge of the lads alleged incompetency and Responsibility.
 Young Bedford was arrested Sat urday in South Bend, Ind, for the theft of a Buick roadster from Mich 1gan City. He was speedily arraign- ed for trial, found guilty and sen fenced to three 70 five years in the Indian State Prison.

Gladiators Reach
 Nerve~Racking Stage
BY TAD

New York, July Much has been said and written by men regarding nerves just prior to a big event. We have heard of actors cracking under the strain, baseball teams busting, etc.
 Sam Berger, who helped train Jim Jeffries for the Reno fight, and who was amateur champion heavy of the United States knows nerves.
 Just before the Dempsey-W1llard fight Sam wrote an article for San Francisco paper. The writer has about the nervous strain on cham pions. In part it follows:
 "A man never tries as hard to hold a position as he does to get it. once he has got it the illusion is gone. He has been wined, dined pampered ana petted, pulled and bunked- He has bought gold bricks and circuses- The wear and tear of life is bound to tell Of course he doesn't realize it One never does. If the suggestion that ne is not as good as ever creeps into ms mind he shuts it out like avoiding an unwelcome visitor.
 All Sorts of Excuses.
 'tIf he feels gone at the end Of the run or if he lacks pep in boxing he will call it off and think he has been working too hard. He will prob ably rest up instead of working hard CT. He probably looks as well in train- ing, because a man who fools the pub lie fools himself. He will resort to many tricks in training-unconscio ly, too-to avoid betraying his lack of condition.
 "He will make all sorts of excuses
