ALL DANGEROUS
UNTIL ON FLOOR
SAYS TIGER JACK

Great Falls, Mont, July 3.-(By A.
I)-Jack Dempsey. rolled into bed
at his training camp early tonight
Tor his last sleep before he crawls
INTO the Nng to defend his worlds
heavyweight championship against
Iommy Gibbons. Dempsey, while re-
iuslng to make fiat statement that
ne VIII knock out Gibbons, declared
mat he expected the st. Paul chal-
ienger to prove to be on of the
toughest opponents he has ever met.
am not one who regards him
nightly" Dempsey said. II regard
every challenger as dangerous. They
are all dangerous until they are on
the moor. l am not going to take any
chances with Gibbons. I will make
every effort to beat him in the first
round II possible. Anything is liable
to happen to a champion any time he
goes into the rink. So am going to
90 my best, and If my best fails l
shall be the first to welcome Glib
pons as the new champion. ..
1T is my confident feeling that I
never was in better shape. l feel bet
ter than l have in many years on
the day before I fought. My train
ing period has been handled to such
perfection that 1 have greatly bene-
fitted by it.'
Dempsey looks to be everything
that his manager, Jack kcarns, has
declared of him, perfectly trained
and ready for Gibbons. The cham
pion Is tanned to a deep brown as a
result of long exposure to the sun,
his face and body glow with health
and he does not appear to have an
extra pound of weight on his trim
frame.
Tomorrow will be getaway day for
the champion. He has been rendered
the use OF 4 private car to make the
trip to Shelby and which will be
used as his quarters while in the
boom town. He plans to return i'm
mediately after the fight, coming
back to Great Falls to have his per.
sOnal belongings packed and then
starting off for a short visit to Salt
Lake City.
Dempsey was evidently enjoying a
feeling of relief as n result of the
bargain made by Kearns to gamble
at the game for the final 500. 900 due
Dempsey. Dempsey at no stage of
the situation which threatened to
result in the calling off of the match
appeared to be unfavorably affected
by the complications.
The outdoor ring at the camp was
being dismantled today. Preparations
for quick departure were visible
all over the camp site.
