 CONFIDENT HIS COMEBACK

Lincoln Field. Sept. 21. tPj-tn- biased observers who watched Dem psey in all his fights since he de feated Willard, are of the opinion that Dempsey is on edge. If the present-day- Dempsey isn't the same old Dempsey of Firpo days he is so close to the real article his ad- mirers can hardly distinguish the difference. Some say that his vic tory over Sharkey caused the change and that it dispelled all doubt in his mind as to whether he could come back. and having con vinced himself that he still carried murderous punch and can stand up under punching he is certain he can destroy the popular belief that they never come back"
 Today Dempsey lounged about the training camp and found diffi- culty in keeping still. Dempsey said: "I know that am in the best of condition-I feel it. When I fought Tunney a year ago I did not have q light for three years. It took that fight and the one with Sharkey to put me back. I will re-

In spite of his youth, his superior boxing ab- ility and the fact that he outpoint- ed Dempsey by wide margin last September. Tunney is being backed at odds of only eight to five Some profess to see downward trend and mention odds of six to five but this is simply a variance of opinion. Tunney Is generally pick ed to win especially if the fight goes the limit, but nevertheless Dempsey Is the sentimental choice and the one to land the knockout if one is to occur.
