DEMPSEY PREPARES.
 HIS TAPERING OFF
Champion to Finish His Active Training on Monday Afternoon

Atlantic City, x. j.. Sept. IS [Pl- With three days of training ahead of him and five days intervening be- i fore he laces on the gloves in de- fense of his title, Jack Dempsey to- day began the tapering off process of his conditioning campaign su- premely confident that he will be on edge by Monday night.
 The worlds heavyweight cham pion will finish his training on Mon day afternoon, with only newspaper corresp pondents In attendance. He will engage in a light workout on Tuesday afternoon. but the cores pondents will be barred from this
 session. Dempsey says there Is no
 particular significance to the strict
 ly private workout Tuesday except that he desires to engage in at least one workout with only his trusted handlers present.
 Dempsey is so sure of his condi-
 ton that he predicts Gene Tunney will be stretched on the canvas floor
 of the ring. a victim of q knockout.
 provided the challenger is willing to
 trade blow for blow and gamble on the result
 Tt is up to Tunney to furnish his share of the battle," Dempsey says, "Tll furnish mine. l always have been a crowd pleaser and when the spectators leave the stadium in Phil adelphia next Thursday night I want them to feel they have had their moneys worth.
 If Tunney elects to fight de fcnsive contest with the intention of sticking to the limit. the bout may be nothing 10 rave about. It takes two to make a fight
 The scoWl on Dempscy's face grows darker and more pronounced as each day the work keeps piling up for his staff of attorneys. Demp- sey has almost as many attorneys as he has sparring partners. The lat est count today revealed that he is represented by ten lawyers in Phil adelphia. New York. Chicago, Colo rado Springs and in Los Angeles. And the champion figures it will cost him S100,000 10 square their bills.
 Dempsey today attempted to laugh off the prediction of Billy McCarney a veteran of the prize fight indus try that Tunney would be returned the winner over the champion. Nc Carney, who was connected with Dempsey's camp at the time he won the title, bases his belief merely eon

FAMOUS BATTLES

Jack Johnson defeated Tommy Burns before the police stopped the bout at Sydney. New South Wales. December 5, 1908. The constabulary invaded the ring in the 14th round. The affair was to have continued to % rounds but as far as it went it wds decisive enough to have the title go to the big negro boxer.
 Burns was badly battered and a cracked lip prevented his smiling when Bill SQuires, champion of Australia, challenged the winner. Bill, in his challenging speech, omit ted any reference to q minute fight he had with Burns the previ- ous year.
 There was somewhat heated and extended argument before the show began over certain elastic bandagos, covering Burns elbows. The referee decided that Burns could not hit with his elbows and was for leaving them on. Burns, on his own motion, removed the elbow covering and was rewarded with big hand from the crowd.
 Cash on the counter was the finan- cial order of the day and the gladi- ators were paid off in tho ring.
 So interested was the populaCe in the aftray that a number of the customers slept in the open, waiting for the day of the fight to dawn.
