Dempsey Opens Up 0cca- sionaIIy, Sending Foes To
 Cover Or Ropes

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June 3o.- (By Associated Press.)-Jack Demp- sey reached the final stages of his training today without injury to his left eye, when he boxed four light rounds. stepping two each with heavyweight, and Billy Wells. the British welterweight. Before pulling on the gloves, the champion ham mered the punching bag for round ard then jumped into the ring for round of shadow boxing to get warmed up.
 A, sudden thundershower and hail storm, breaking over the champions camp five minutes before he was ready to start his workout drove him to the shelter of his indoor gymnasium, which was damned to the doors.
 The champion kept his punches in restraint, permitting his sparring partners to do most of the leading, while he weaved in and out of range with a bobbing crouch. Whenever Dempsey thought his sparring mates were landing too frequently he would lule them into the ropes and slow them up with hooks to the body or short right cross to the chin. Use. "Rabbit' Punch.
 While boxing with Burke, Demp- sey used his famous rabbit punch effectively, clubbing the Pittsburger on the back of the head in the clinches. The punches jared Burke's heels. Burke, having discovered that Dempsey had defense for his dan gerous right, made the champions head fly back several times with left 1abs. The Pittsburger passed up his running to cover tactics and mixed more generously with the champion than he has since the time Jacks left crashed against his chin and f'oored him several days ago.
 Wells pranced around Dempsey, scurriec to cover under the cham rions leads, and gave an exhibition of aggressiveness that brought de- light to the crowd in the pavilion.
 The champion, while boxing Wells, gave an indication of what Gibbons nay expect If he attempts to box at long range. That was rushing Wells to the ropes and forcing the Britisher to lean back over the hempen barriers while the hooked short rights and left swings to the body.
 Dempsey will do his final boxing tomorrow, probably going four rounds against Wells and Burke, The champion will not work Monday or Tuesday, with the exception of Il little light gymnasium exercise merely to keep himself on edge.

 At the stretch turn Rialto chal- lenged, and the two Long Island horses, running head and head, turned wide going into the last bend.
 Here Harry Lunsford, Covingtoa, Ky, jockey astrde The Clown, came through in whirlwind style ana Hopeless challenged The Clown. In the final drive, however, Hopeless tired and The Clown won under wraps.
 In Memoriam followed the two western representatives through the gap at the stretch turn and got the show money.
 Martingale stopped to almost a walk, a dead tired horse, and Rialto staggered home in fourth place.
 The time, gag 3-5, was 2-5 second slower than the derby time record and three seconds slower than the track record for mile and half.
 The Clown paid s750 for $2 ticket. The price showed the wonderful con- fidence the stable had in it's colt. The Clown was taken back soon after the start of the race, Lunsford Icing content to let the eastern horses run themselves out. His final Iriot
