greatest extravaganza of all time.
This doesn't prove that the boy is

one is interested in Jack Dempsey

recognized that this will be Demp-

Jack sees now that he no longer
can lash himself into real fight
ing condition. He knows that the
fighter has gone and left in his
place a settled, harried and none
too vicious specimen. Dempsey
has SOftened, perhaps not physi-
cally but certainly in q moral
sense.
He has been irritated by these law
suits. His handlers may bleat that
he is just a happy. carefree boy

he may find them. They lie. Jack
Dempsey is a troubled, suspicious,
irritable man who must go through

no particular liking.

JACK DONE
WORRYING
By George Barry

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Sept. %.
Jack Dempsey's training days for
the big fight are ended. The army
Of fistic experts have gone to
Philadelphia, and Dempsey himself
was to leave either today or tomor-
row.
The exact time of the champions
departure was in doubt, as his
movements are to be shrouded to
escape any lurking process servers.
Dempsey said he would go to
Philadelphia this afternoon, but his
manager, Gene Normile, later de-
clared that the champion Will
weigh in here tomorrow and will
arrive In Philadelphia in a special
car late tomorrow afternoon, few
hours before the fight.
The departure is proposed to be
a great secret. A few sets of false
whiskers, perhaps a high-collared
overcoat and the burly forms Of
four detectives. will conceal the
champion along the way.
I'm fit-and I'm ready" said
the champion today, after he fin
ished up a road jaunt before
breakfast. 'If condition can win
a fight, then here's one that I've
"I'm all through worrying about
Kearns and the dozen and one
others who have been throwing
everything but the Brooklyn
bridge at me. My only worry now
is that perhaps Tunney won't come
out fighting; that he'll try to clinch
and stall. If he does, that it'll
make it a bit hard for me to get
him early. But I am supremely
confident that whether he comes
out fighting or whether he holds
and tries to Wrestle, I'll nail him
before the 10 rounds are ended"
Dempsey's exact weight remains
mystery. His camp attaches in.
sist that it's around 1913. The
chances are that he will weigh
about 1877 or 1913 for the fight-and
that at least two or three pounds
of 1t will be just plain fat.
Earlier in his training Dempsey
indicated that he wanted to climb
into The ring about two or three
pounds over hts best fighting
weight.
And here's why, he explained.
"I'm going to make 1t as fasr q
eight as humanity can. Action, of |
the fierce kind, makes a man shed |
a bit of weight. If l go into that |
ring right down to the last ounce
Of fat, then, when the going gets
rough, or l am travelling fast, the |
stuff that 1 will be burning up will |
he vital flesh-real energy.
But II l have q couple Of pounds |
Of fat to work off, then all I'll
lose is just that-and conserving
my real strength all the way.

haps, figures on stalIing for a
few rounds and wearing me out.
He thinks that il he does that I'll
tire and finish slowly. 1 am going
to surprise him. If that fight
goes the full distance I'll be an
awfully mistaken person il am
not stepping faster and fighting
harder in the tenth than in any
other round Of the fight"
Dempsey was reticent concerning
the charges made by his counsel In
court here yesterday that Jack
kearns. his former manager, was
an eX-conv1ct and had misappropri-
ated funds amounting to $500, 900.
'kearns might try laughing off
those charges" the champion said.
IF he can't laugh them off now
he will have ample opportunity to
do 1t In court"

That is Dempsey and Tunney, as
see them. One of them is a
foul tip as a fighter. the other
used to be good. There are no
illusions to be maintained about
this fight. Tunney never has
shown that he belongs in the same
ring with the heavyweight cham.
pion Of the world and the latter
has given rather obvious hints that
he is about forty per cent of the
man who intrigued the general
public with the idea that he was
and is a man-killer.
Dempsey's legs have gone. Any
one with any sense knows that
now. On the surface, he is a man
IN perfect physical condition. His
wind is good, his eye clear, his
actions those of a man who has
reached the pinnacle of physical
training.
But he is a slightly elderly
gent, as we figure things in this
racket, and the first thing to
show tsIis condition is a pair of
legs that refuse TO carry their
master in the style to which is
accustomed.
Dempsey no longer Is up on his
toes, shooting punches from here,
there and what you have. He has
taken TO spreading his legs in order
to get all the leverage possible into
his punches, and, in doing that, he
has cut down his punching speed
by a matter of so per cent. l look
for Dempsey TO miss lot of punches
tomorrow night, and / have spent
much time trying to convince myself
that one can't beat a man unless
one hits him. So much for Dempsey.
AS for Tunney, he is a congenial
counter-hitter, which is a type that
is supposed TO be made to order
for Dempsey. He retreats under
fire and the leopard changes his
spots about as often as the fighter
changes his style under fire in the
ring. They may have told Tunney
what he must do in order to take
the play from Dempsey, but once
the bell rings and the fight is under
way. an actor answering his cue
will be no more instructive than
Tunney.
He will fight tile way he Is
accustomed to fighting, which is
to feint a man, ask him to come
on and hit and then either make
him miss or take the punch
where il might land and answer
it with a counter.

g No Mud Singing
From Me-" Kearns
Answers Jack

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.-
81 could say plenty of things
about Jack Dempsey, but don't
believe in mud-slinging contests
and / have too much respect for
myself to air another mans
past in the newspapers"
This was the reply of Jack
Kearns today to charges made
by Dempsey in Atlantic City
yesterday that Kearns was "a
thoroughgoing scoundrel" and
had been convicted Of a statu-
tory offense on the Pacific
Coast.
81 will go to bat with a state
ment on that at the proper
time," Kearns declared. 81 don't
think two men should engage in
a, controversy of this very per-
sonal nature. Therefore, my
attitude is one of dignified
silence. My character has been
assailed in a most unfair and
unjustified way and, at the
proper time, ! will take steps to
protect myself from future at
tacks of this kind.
Jack Dempsey will have to
answer for his statements and
he'll do it in a court of law
where everybody can hear and
know what l say. When that
time comes I think everybody
will realize that Jack Kearns is
not as black as he is painted"
