BAGS RELEASED
Dempsey's Sparring Partners
Not Strong Enough

White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga
Lake. y. Y, July II R-The life of
a sparrlng partner is short and bit
ter in the training camp of Jack
Dempsey for the best a shock alb
sorber can get is the worst Of 1t.
Two new heavyweights coming In
today passed a trio on the way out,
and the looks of relief in the eyes
OF the departing guests could be
matched only by the anxiety of the
boys who had just appeared for
seeking duty with the former cham
pion of them all.
After asking waivers on Jack
Hidebrand. Peter CORR and Bill
Batey, Leo P. Flynn handed them
releases and one way transportation
south simultaneously The useful
ness of Hildebrand, a Syracuse
heavyweight. ceased with two sue
cessive knockouts at Dempsey's
hands In the last two workouts.
Petro CORR, strong man from Aus
tria, had been badly battered and
Batey was found too light for the
rugged going.
Both new Corners Chief Meto-
auah, a 1S5 pound Indian from
Oklahoma, and Marley Gallagher. a
broth Of an Irish lad from Wash
ington, D. c.. were slated to bear
their part of the boxing burden to-
day as Dempsey resumed training
for the match with Jack Sharkey
after a lay-off over Sunday.
Gallagher, in an unannounced ap-
pearance yesterday worked out
alone and surprised the somnolent
camp with a 100 pound display Of
dashing. fighting Drawn equipped
with a very snappy left hook.
A pair Of Dempsey's best boxing
mates also were due to return to the
lists after suffering minor casualties
to secure their firm standing in the
eyes of back handlers. Johnny

from Bridgeport. Conn. who fights
Dempsey as though the former
champion were Just his size and
weight. was obliged to rest set or
battered ribs for few days. and
Eddie McMullen, for whom the at
mosphere was just a cloud OF left
hooks for time, ia again able to
breathe through a disabled nose.
The schedule for Dempsey this
week, his last full seven days before
the comeback battle with Sharkey in
the Yankee Stadium week from
Thursday night, contains about as
many rests az a musical score. Jack
will lay off tomorrow to start the
Lake George forecasts another
break on Thursday and Friday.
Yesterday Jack played Is holes OF
golf with Manager Flynn.
Dempsey entered the final lap of
the conditioning battle weighing we'll
over 200 pounds, according to secret
advices from Jacks bungalow
stronghold deep in the woods mile
from Tom Luther's hotel. The off,
cial announcement set Dempsey's
poundage at 1913, two more than he
expects to weigh on the night Of tho
fight. No one has yet been allowed
to see Dempsey climb on the scales.
