GOOD CONDITION
MANAGER CLAIMS
"Either Georges viii Knock
Out Dempsey or Dempsey
viii Knock Out Georges"
DeScampS Says.

Manhasset, N. Y. July (by the
Associated Press) .-Whistling an
American war song. Georges Car
pentier tripped up the stairs of his
training camp residence at 9
o'clock tonight. called CHEEKY
good night to his comrades and
jumped into bed.
Throughout the day the chal-
lenger was light hearted. There
was always song on his lips and
q smile on his face. Late in the
afternoon he left his chair on the
front porch to play ball with
crowd OF boys in the roadway. He
seemed oblivious of the fact that
his chance at the long desired
worlds heavyweight championship
was less than twenty-four hours
away.
Fight Talk Banned.
Fight talk was under the pan.
The challenger braved heavy
rain at reveille today and was soak
ed to the skin when he returned
from the road three-quarters of an
hour later. Georges was given a
good rundown and was swathed IN
blankets. He stayed indoors uNil
after lunch, then went to the porch
and his camp chair.
There will be no fooling to-
morrow" said Francois Des-
camps, Georges manager, to-
night. Georges is in great
condition, better than he ever
was in his life, and We can Of
fer no excuse. In fact we are
confident, OF course it would
be silly to say fatty that
Georges would win. because
YOU never can tell what might
happen.
"Trainer Wilson said before we
came over that IL he could get
Georges in as good condition as ne
was for the Joe Beckett fight, ne
did not believe Dempsey could de-
feat him. Georges Is even better
than he was for Beckett and there's
our answer.
1.-THE fight will not be stop
ned. Either Georges will
knock out Dempsey or Demp-
sew will knock out Georges
Carpenter, he will fight as he
has never fought before be-
cause he wants that champion
ship, He isn't worrying one BIT
about 1t. He knows how he
feels and he tells me he VIII
go to it,
Then Trainer Wilson spoke:
MANY people think that tnls s
will be a dancing exhibition, | am
not saving that CarpentieR Will dive
In foolishly and slug from the mo
ment the first bell rings but do
mean that he will fight Dempsey
and fight him viciously.
srBewarc Of Georges Right"
"I have been against Carpenter
In many of his bouts. For instance,
conditioned Joe Jeanette Tor MS
fight with Georges in Paris some
wears ago. When Joe went into the
ring / cautioned him to be wary OF
Georges right. Joe said, on TINS
boy can't hurt me, he's Just KID.
But along during the fight Joe
| feinted with his left and started a
fright. Georges lodged it neatly
and hit Joe squarely with an over
hand right, Jeanette went to the
floor like piece of lead ana
STAYED down for a count of nine
Georges is dangerous and |
think the greatest fighter in the
world today. They talk aobut
Dempsey being too strong for him
want to know if any of these
people making such remarks ever
saw Joe Beckett. Beckett could
pick up Georges in one hand ana
Dempsey in the other and knock
their heads together; he is that
strong. Yet, Georges floored him
in one round.
Georges Retired Early.
sTt's all matter of ring
knowledge and Georges knows too
much for the champion"
Georges retired early tonight
after a quiet evening on the porch
with nescamps. Wilson and his
close friends, Captain Thierry NAL
Ilet and Lieutenant Pierre Mallet
CAPTAIN Mallett, because of painful
sunburns, will not be able to leave
the camp tomorrow. He shed Dig
tears tonight when 1t was men,
toned. -,
"For fourteen years" he said, 81
have been Georges friend AND
I have watched him win one cham.
pionship after another. Now
have to miss the greatest fight OF
his life. probably the greatest fight
in ring history"
