n INCOLN FIELDS, Crete. ILL.,.
September LE).--Four days of
hard work with the gloves are
IL ahead of Jack Dempsey. after a
4S-hour layoff from all training.
Only newspaper men will be admitted
to these workouts, starting today,
Manager Flynn has ruled. Some new
sparring partners-light fast men
have been called upon. though their
names have not been announced.
Dempsey said he weighed exactly
200 pounds after his two-day rest and
never felt better. He hopes to shed
about six pounds in the coming fort
night, to enter the ring around 1893 or
1914.
Another departure from tradition
for Dempsey is the daily interview of
half an hour for newspaper men as
signed to his camp. Never before has
| the former champion given training
camp interviews, except as he was
cornered by chance.
| There was a noticeable elation in
| the Dempsey camp over the accident
which laid open a cash in Gene Tun-
ney's eyebrow. Manager Flynn called
| it "a break in our favor" adding that
| fighters should take advantage of all
| the breaks"

VETERANS FACE SEVERE

Pair for Doubles Tomorrow.

Bills faced the severest tests of their
international careers in an attempt to
make ii eight straight for Uncle sam

Tilden. now "a, and Johnston, near
ly 33. have passed the day when they
sat supreme on the tennis heights.
Frances challenge to American su
premacy. successful along every front
within the past year except the Davis
Cup, has become increasingly power
full.
Tilden has been baked particular
ly at every ma ior turn by his lore
most two French rivals since last
wears challenge round. He lost the
final match of that series to Lacoste,
then was put out of the national sin
giles by Cochet the following week
at Forest Hills. Again at st. Cloud
this Summer Lacoste checked Tilden
in the finals of the French hard'court
championship, while Cochet turned
back the American at Wimbledon.
TiIden in Avenging Mood.
In an avenging mood, as a result
of these setbacks. Tilden was declared
by close observers to have reached
the best form he has known in sew
eral years for the test here. John-
ston's famous forehand drives always
have been poison for the French stars.
Only one of them, Jean Borotra, has
ever beaten Little Bill. and the Basque
is relegated this year to a doubles
assignment only, with Jacques Brug
non as his partner.
In a series of long-drawn-out or
closely fought matches, however, the
chances of victory seemed to favor
France Tilden still boasts tremen-
dous stamina, but the day when he
could pull his five-set matches out OF
the fire apparently has passed. La
coste, only %, and Cochet, 25. with
youth in their favor, have greater
staying powers than Tilden. if the re-
suits of their engagements within the

There Is nothing quite so draining
on the nerve supply as shaking

Despite the heat and excessive
humidity, Tunney feels himself today
within a few notches of his best phys
ical condition. At 1872 pounds, the
title holder is carrying scarcely a
pound of excess weight. Since Gene
plans no attempt to make a definite
poundage for the title tilt with Jack

champion would scale we'll over the
1S0 pounds he weighed to win the
