WIND-UP WEEK FINDS RIVALS SET FOR SCRAP Dempsey Camp Cocksure, While Carpentier Still Seeks Any Pointers Available. CORBETT RELATES VIEWS SCORCHING HEAT FORECAST. WASHINGTON', Jun* 2*.—Fight fan who journey to Jersey City next Saturday to see Jock Dempsey and Georges Carpentier battle for the heavy weigh l championship of the world, run wear the lightest clothing they possess and still suffer from the heat—but they had better taken an umbrella, along, just to play safe. ' This was the advice handed out today by the 1 nited States Weather Bureau i nan early forecast of probable weather conditions for the battle. The ofifcial orecaster said it would be ‘blistering'’ hot with "possibilities of local thunder showers.’* BY JAMES J. CORBETT, 1 ormer World’s Heavyweight Champion. NEW YORK. June 2f.— This is windup week at Manhasset and Atlantic City. Chtmplon .Tack Dejnpsey and Challenger Georges Carpentier hare but four days to prepare for the big fight at Jersey City July 2. They are practically through training now. I am told that neither will do more than just enough to keep on the edge—and Thursday will be the last day on which either will don a -glove. Roth the champion and his challenger are In good condition. I have seen both men in action recently. Dempsey looks fine. His stomach
Gov. Edwards Speaks
JF.RSEY CITY, June 27.—Clinton Howard, secretary of the International ivetorm Bureau, will eimply waste time by attempting to stop the Dempsey-Carpentier tight, acccording to Governor Edward 1. Edwards of New Jersey. "Os course I don’t know what he may have up his sleeve,” explained the Governor here today. "This exhibition, I can say, will be conducted strictly according to law, I am sure ot that.’’ Howard announced in Atlantic Tty last night that he intended to seek an injunction preventing the bout. looks good, too. 1 think he has trained seriously, i will know more about that —everyone will—after a round or two. Carpentier is in fine shape and his morale is perfect—better, 1 believe—than that of the champion. I’d bet my life on Georges' condition and I think he will enter the ring highly confident. In fact, tue closer, tue uay of the fight approaches, .the lighter hearted Carpentier seems. I've read some talk about Dempsey's wind not being the best. If this is true, I have 'ailed to notice it. Working out under .he hot sun in Atlantic City is no easy thing for a feilow when he works fast, as Dempsey has been doing. Under such conditions he cannot get enougn air breathing through his nose, and ne does quite a bit of breathing through his mouth. I used to do the same. I think nearly every fighter does. Carpentier, for Instance, boxes a lot with his mouth open. This means nothing In particular, except that he cannot get enough fresh air through his nose. And you can be sure in the mlxups neither Jack nor Georges will leave the lower jaw hanging open to receive the shock of a swiftly propelled punch. The atmosphere around the two camps as the day of the fight draws near is as different as day and night. At Airport, the tight is over now. Manager Jack Kearns. Dempsey, Trainer Teddy Hayes—every one, in fact—has settled that question in his mind. The Airport camp is rather cocksure. This is not the best thing in the world, even though the vast majority of critics tlso have settled on Dempsey as the winner. It means that the champion and his handlers may be over-confident, and I'll tell the world that I know from experience what over-confidence sometimes does to a fellow. Carpentier's camp is just the other way around. Every one from Georges down is willing and eager to get all the advice they can. They are not cocksure, hut they are not doing any unnece-sary worrying, either.—Copyright, 1321, by International News Service.
This Dopester Believes Carpentier Is Sure to Make Foot Race of It
$ By HENRY FARRELL, United Pr Sport* Editor. NEW YORK, June 27.—Most of the predictions that Jack Dempsey will win quickly next Saturday are based on the assumption that Georges Carpentier will mix It with the champion. t Descamps talks he warts It to be carried from the start that Carpentier will use his speed to go into the American, Instead of getting away from him. Descamps, in drawing their battls plans several weeks ago, told the writers that they were going to gamble on one punch, that Carpentier will try to finish the champion like he put Joe Beckett away. From later experience, however, it can be considered as a sure thing that when Descamps talks h ewants it to bo carried io Atlantic City. His talk Is a part of t'M tc&iniug schedule. Jack McAuUffe, along with other autorltics, believes that the pride and vanity of the Frenchman will keep him from running, and that he will go In and mix It with the champion. Carpentier has the vanity, of couTte. but it is doubtful if he will let pjide warp his judgment. His greatest ambition, outside of getting that purse, is to keep his face unmarked, and he can never do it unless he runs away. Carpentiers program for the final wee* ts unknown, but It la understood he will work right through until Thursday and will not go to Jersey City until Saturday morning. Dempsey, from reports, will work only three days this week and will move with hit training squad to Jersey City Thursday. McGraw Concedes Cards Good Pennant Chance NEW YORK, June 27.--John J. MePraw, manager and half owner of the New York Giants, told a reporter recently that the Cardinals have a wonderful opportunity to give St, Louis its first pennant. “The Cardinals are a great ball team." he said. “It looks to me as If the race for the flag Is between New York, St. Louis and Pittsburg, Cincinnati, although down the list Just now, probibly will be heard from later in the season. “1 am wonderfully Impressed by the fighting snirlt of the crowds in the stands.

DESCAMPS HAS LOTS OF FAITH Little French Manager Can See Only His Georges in July 2 Scrap. By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 27.—We’ve read and heard all sorts of reasons why Jack Dempsey should whip Georges Carpeutier. The champion Is a big favorite and most of the fight talk has been about his line nolnts, etc. But Carpentier deserves careful consideration. Therefore, the reasons of those who favor him to win are interesting. Francois Descamps makes no bones about it. Georges will win, he says. "Brain will triumph over brawn when my Georges meets Dempsey,” says Descamps. *T m so sure of victory that I have asked Mr. Rickard to get Gibbons or Brennan for us on Labor day. "Monsieur Dempsey is a great fighter. But Carpentier, he is the boxer extraordinary. He is also lion-hearted and he is much more experienced than Dempsey. "American boxing fans will be greatly surprised after the big fight is over. They wili have seen the greatest boxer-fighter in history defeat the champion. Carpentier will box rings around Dempsey. He will meet him at any game and he is not afraid to exchange punches with the champion." Willie Lewis, who fought Carpentier and is credited with teaching him much of the ring science he knows, feels that Georges will win within eight rounds. East Side Pushmobile Race Thursday Night; More Entries Wanted Pushmobile speed boys of the east side are tuning up for a big race to be held Thursday evening at 6:30 o’clock at Rural and Eas't Tenth streets. Five chariots have been entered, hut more are wanted and the drivers who competed in the North Indianapolis event last week are urged to enter. Any pushmobile expert caring to enter the Thursday race is requested to call John Howard at Webster 0568 at once or bring his wagon to Rural and East Tenth early Thursday evening. The event calls for about two miles of travel, the course being around the block. George Greenwood, a grocer, ispromoting the affair and he has bung up prizes consisting of a ball bat, ball, glove and a small amount of money. Others helping in the staging of the race an- B. Warren, 11. Crosby, and C. Rawlinson. The East Side kids have been putting in diligent practice for the grind and they are eager to match their prowess with the North Indianapolis pushmobile experts. While speeding | around the course one evening last week ■ one of the boys entered in the race with Ia Cawkins H|>ecial humped Into the re- ! tainlng wall (curbstone! and he was shaken up so much that his dad ordered j hi mout of the list of entries.

WHO’LL WIN?
MEMPHIS. June 27 —John D. Martin, president of the Southern Baseball Association: “It is going to be a good big man whipping a good little man. I think Carpentier is too small for the champion. There are a number of light heavyweights In America who would take his measure. Dempsey will knock him out.”

NOT MUCH BETTING ACTIVITY
By JACK McAULIFFK, Retired Undefeated Lightweight Champion. NEW YORK, June 27.—Most of the little betting that Is being done on the Dempsey-Carpentier battle is of the weak variety. Betting commissioners tell me that many wagers are being made that Dempsey will win on a foul. The Frenchman’s record perhaps leads some to the belief that he will ( take the easiest way out if he finds out in the first round that he hasn't a chance. . Personally. I think Carpentier 1* anything but a foul tighter, but he does run a danger from his corner.

Manager Diwampu Is quite a Jumper. He shows a tendency to get Into the ring himself when the going gets rough for Ids Georges. If Dempsey should happen to hit Carpentier low, and the chances are that some of lu body punches will be knocked down, Descamps is bound to make a claim for a foul and he is liable to get right in the ring. Jack Kearns told me in Atlantic City that it was this fear that bothered him when they were liaving the controversy over the referee. The champion’s manager said he wanted above all things to have a man In tike ring who ran keep his head. I think they have the right man now In Referee Krtle.

The Sti.te protested that a separate trial be not allowed for these two men. Affidavits were presented to show that Franklin was suffering from rheumatism and that Zork had a bad attack of neurasthenia, which caused him to “turn pale whenever the baseball scandal wa sanuounced.” During the argument the defense protested against the prospective presence of Judge K. M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, declaring it would prejudice the case. It was reported that Fred McMullin. one of the defendants, was in Los Angeles working as a scenic painter. The defendants who appeared were Eddie Cicotte. Claude Williams, Joe Jackson, Chick Gandil, Buck Weaver, Swede Risberg, Hap Felsch, Ben Levi and David Zelser.

TRIBE CLOSES WITH SENATORS Indians Move to Toledo After Wind-up Game at Columbus Today. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 27.—FoUowing the series wind-up game with the Senators here today the Indians will hop over to Toledo for a big round with the Hens. The Hoosiers have met with disappointment here, especially over the week-end, during which time they lost three games and won one. In the double-header Saturday the Senators drew the laurels in both contests, 5 to 4, in eleven innings and 6 to 3. In the Sunday twin bill the Hendricksmen managed to grab the first skirmish, 8 to 1, but the Senators were not easily upset, and in the closing struggle of the afternoon the Rowland ites won, 8 to 2. it took Pug Cavet to put over a win in the first game Sunday. The tall southpaw had the locals puzzled when men were on the sacks and he came within an ace of scoring a shutTOUt. The defeats suffered in the series here have caused deep discouragement in the Trib camp, but Manager Hendricks is hopeful that the players will regain their confidence as the long trip around the A. A circuit progresses. The team simply is not playing like the well-oiled machine of a few weeks back. When the pitchers are in form the hitting falls down and then when the hitting picks up the pitching collapses.

Georges More Secretive Than Ever in Last Before Big Title Battle
MANHASSET. N. Y . June 27—Georges Carpentier began his final week of training by boxing in strict privacy today with three specially selected sparring partners, nameless by request. The secrecy which Manager Francois Descamps at first Insisted upon to save Georges the annoyance of too many and too curious visitors ts now being employed to enable the challenger to work out his plan of battle. The secrecy of this final week is all part of the fight for the championship. Descamps Is a believer In psychology and Is out to seize whatever advantage niny pertain to keeping the Dempsey camp entirely in the dark as to Carpentier s movements. They know at Manhasset that they cannot scare Dempsey, but they figure it will do no harm to try and worry him. The sparring partners with whom Carpentier worked today were selected as much for their tight mouths as for their ability to give the challenger the requisite work out. One who worked with the Frenchman in Saturday’s secret session threw his hands in the air after a round and said; “Georges has shown me more ring tricks In three minutes than I have learned In five years.” Clay Court Meet Opens CHICAGO, June 27.—0n1y six matches were played in the opening round of the men’s national clay court tennis singles championship which were ushered In Sunday at the Chicago Tennis Club.

JAZZ CARNIVAL CONTINUOUS AT CHAMP’S CAM! Shouts and Laughter Reigtfl ’ Airport—Tom’j-Like Silence at Manhasset. BY PERCY HAMMOND. ATLANTIC CITY, June 27.—Carpentier’s camp is to Dempsey’s as ai cloister is to a carnival. There sweet and mystic silences of a pioujMH treat, here the ribald uproar of a Babylon. Ail excitements are court of Dempsey. Flags palace roof and from the pin: his two arenas. Negro bands anthems between the athletic contrast to the birds which make the music i or the challenger at Manhasset. The populace here adorns itself with the bright regalia of the excursionist, and the cane they ring is the cane they get. More gum is chewed at Airport than at Manhasset. If you tire ol watchiDg Dempsey worst his opponents in the hippodrome, you can see him sid-e----stepping the baliffs with equal agility. BULL MONTANA COURT JESTER. Here there are animated shouts instead of mortuary whisperings. Every now and then the champion makes a feast for his favorites whereat the revels are fast and furious, though not Imprudent. At these festivals many of ths merry quips and japes are uttered by Mister

Bull Montana, who is the king's Jester. After the champ has retired to his chambers for meditation and sleep his follow-el's proceed to the board walk, there to drape the night in crimson curtains. In the debates which occur in the ruddy forums near by the seashore the wiseacres come to baffling disagreements. “He sweated pretty today,” a learned historian will remark to a brother chronicler over their glasses rs well nigh beer. “Nix,” will be the rejoinder. “He was as dry as I am.” We all say ’‘nix” in Atlantic ICty. Thus the discussions continue. The humids versus the arids, with no satisfactory res suits. SURE THING ! FIELIXG WEAKENS, i It is a fact, however, that those whe deiided Carpentier's chances after seeing him work at Manhasset are now inclined • to modify their opinions a trifle after seeing Dempsey operate here. ! They observe the champion’s sparring partners land frequently upon his nose ; and jaw and they say, “What will happen if Carpentier, leading his unkindly i right, punches the defender upon his I vulnerable proboscis?" . o. Dem. oty, thougu otherwlc- looking fit as a battleship stripped forMhGon, does not seem to breath well. much of the time with his mouth wide open and pants as he leaps about the ring. At least so I am told by the more sagacious of the prophets from under whose tables I gather my crumbs of information. More and more they predict ! that the invader stands a chance. American Giants and A. B. C.s Continue Play The third game of the American GiantA. B. C. series was on the card for this afternoon at Washington Park. The same teams play tomorrow and Wednesday. In yesterday’s contests the Giants took the first game by heavy clouting. 9 to 4, but the second affair was a different story, with Jeffries bolding Rube Foster's sluggers to three blows and a 1 to 1 tie tn seven innings before the Sunday closlng_ law put an end to hostilities. Kenyon did not fare very well In the opening contest, Foster’s bunch garnering sixteen hits off of the big fellow. It was largely a matter of good bunting that upset Kenyon, and the Giants surely worked the game to the limit. Mackey featured the last game with a homer for the only run the A.s could get, as both Starks and D. Brown were la excellent form. The veteran Jeffries was also feeling fit and a tight pitchers’ battle was the result. Many fans turned out to see Jimmy Lyons perform. Lyons is an Indianapolis boy playing left field for the Chicago team. Richards Going Strong NEW YORK. June 27.—Vincent Richards of New Y'ork added the Metropolitan tennis championship honors to hi# collection Saturday. In Impressive fashion the yotmg stai defeated A. J.

BOOSTING FOR FREEDMAN. BENTON HARBOR, Mich., June 27. However deep-rooted is the confidence of Sailor Freedman of Chicago regarding his chance to win the lightweight championship crown from Benny Leonard when they meet here on tha afternoon of Monday, July 4, in Floyd FitarJmmons* aeroa here, several things will be in the Chicagoan’s favor which should bolstet up his courage. A study of the physical measurement# of the pair supplies the hasls toi this belief. Freedman, to begin wltl£ has tha advantage in height and reach, and wiU enter the ring at practically the 83m# weight as the champion. He is five year# younger, too, and this item has turned the tide in favor of many a challenger for championship honors. The club-like arms and leg# of Freedman should operate to his advantage, too. Experts liken him in this respect to Georges Carpentier, challenger for th heavyweight honors.
