CORBETT FINDS GEORGES DOING NIGHT BOXING Jim Says Frenchman Seriously Believes He Has Chance to Cop Title. HIS PLAN OF ATTACK BV JAMES J. CORBETT, farmer U<Tjrl|ht Champion of the tV or Id. NEW YORK, June 28.—1 dropped tn on Georges Carpentier ac Manhasset aoout 8 o'clock the- other evening. I expected to find the challenger sitting on the veranda or the lawn. He was not in sight. Presently he came up to the house from the big barn in which he does bis gymnasium work. He was flushed and perspiring. •‘Ah, Georges.” I remarked. “You £>ra putting in some good licks when no one i* around? You are working as you expect to work when you get into the ring with Dempsey next Saturday':” Carpentier laughed, winked and said pleasantly: “You are right. Mr. Corbett, I have lust been going through sc me Work that I considered very important. I didn’t get an opportunity to do it earlier in the day. There were too many around. AMBITIOCS TO WEAK CROWN. “You see, I am so in earnest about this fight I am rtailv training quite hard. To win means everything to me; more by far than the money, though, of course.

The Haystack Haircut MANHASSET, N. Y.. June 28.—Carpentler made the vanity sacrifice supreme Monday. If Jack Dempsey expected to find hi* oponnent blinded by long locks drooping- over his eyes, he is to be disappointed. After the village barber had operated, giving Georges the Brooklyn idea of a french hair cut, the frenchman’* mane was slightly rerainiseent of a tumbled hay stack. Part of it was pompadourred and part of It was flat, but all of it was safely moored above his eyes. Georges admitted the trimming didn't add to his appearance, but he expected it to aid his fight, reversing the theories of M. Samson of Biblical fame.

that Is a great incentive. But to be champion of the world—that has been my dream for years and I will leave nothing undone to bring about its realization. Believe nr. Georges Is serious. He has reasoned out his chances from every and the result he obtained has convinced him that they are good. While he told me nothing of Ills plans for the Dempsey fight, I imagine t.iat when he gets Into the ring It will le with the intention of letting Dempsey force things and attempting to box him at long range. Georges believes he can put across a winning punch once the opening comes and he will be content to wait for it. He very probably figures-, also that Dempsey may tire himself out and that this is a point well worth considering. GEORGES’ SPEED MAY HELP IU.U. In the Willard tight at Toledo, Dempsey fought himself out in the first round. He gave Willard everything ho had and won his fight. No fighter ever expended more energy In one round than did Jack. But against Carpentier this sort of a campaign may be unsuccessful, for Georges is quick of foot as he is or hand and Dempsey will not find him as easy to hit. Dempsey has one glaring fault, as I see it. And that is failure to relax. He stands there ready to hit, muscles set and firm. He did it at Toledo when Willard was weaving around like a drunken man and unable to barm him. He simply doesn't know the meaning of relaxation and in his case with those tremendously heavy arms, failure to relax is bound to result in tiring out the muscles. If Carpetier can carry him along, therefore, he will conserve his strength while Dempsey expends his, for the Frenchman has discovered the secret of relaxing. He can go the distance the better for it, too.—-Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.

Hypnotic Eye Talk Is All Bunk. Descamps Says NEW YORK, June 2S.—There isn't any such thing as Francois Deseamps' hypnotic eye. a supposed asset for Georges Carpentier that has been much written about and widely discussed. The crafty little French manager has merely “let it Pm at that,” realizing that such publicity was mighty valuable for his man. “Georges and all of us have had many a laugh about this whenever it has been played up in the papers.” Descamps said rhe other night while seated at a local arena watching some fights. "Pve never taken the trouble to deny it or even to discuss it because perhaps I never have been asked to But I'll tell you now •there Is no such thing. “I consider I have a keen eye to discover an opponent's faults and wea.k-

CHAMPION PUTS SELF TO TEST Jaclc Does Equivalent of Thirteen Rounds at Good Speed. By SID MERCER. ATLANTIC CITY, June 28.—Evading successfully even the sleuth hounds of the press, who were thrown off the scent by the announcement that the champion had left camp for a long automobile ride, Jack Dempsey has today torn a page out of Georges Carpentier’s training manual by staging a long, high speed secret work-out In the old airplane shed at Airport. He worked fifty-five minutes In the hot, stuffy garage as the guards repelled all efforts to crash the gate. Besides his sparring partners and handlers, but eight Sersons saw him work. They were udge E. C. Bonniwell, his wife and three sons of Philadelphia; Bat Nelson and two scribes who got into the grounds before Dempsey awoke from an early afternoon nap and suddenly decided to work out, disregarding Jack Kearns instructions before he left for New Y'- k. Somewhat nettled by criticisms of his boxing and condition which he read in the newspaper*. Dempsey no doubt decided to work out in private to satisfy himself that he wasn’t stale or slowed up In his footwork and glove swinging. With this in view, Dempsey did thirteen three-minute rounds. One round of punching the bag got him warded up He socked that target for three rounds He then climbed Into the ring and slugged the heavy bag for two rounds. Tbis was followed by two rounds of shadow boxing. Eddie O'Hare and Larry Williams then were called upon. O’Hare went only two rounds. Dempsey set so fast a pace that Eddie could stand no more, when he quit he was puffed up and had a cut lip, despite the fact that he used a headgear. Larry Williams fared Just as poorly.

France Takes Title Bout Much to Heart and Is All Excited From Alps to Mediterranean Every Frenchman Pulls for Georges. PARIS, June 28.—“ This fight has done more to arouse interest in physical culture than years of propaganda.” Gaston Vidal, French minister of physical education. told the United Press in an exclusive Interview today. “From the Alps to the Pyrenne and from the English channel to the Mediterranean,” he said, "the Carpentier-Demp-sey match is stirring France as no athletic event in history ever did— stirring the nation as few international events can.” Occasional pictures thrown on the screens arouse the French to frenzy. These films usually followed by one portraying the smiling, blonde Carpentier, send the movie audiences home in a torment of hope and fear. Vidal has Just completed a tour of France. “Even In the hamletg of 300. hidden away In the Alps,” he said, ”1 found the peasants talking about the fight. “They eagerly asked me for my opinion on the outcome. I told them what 1 think - that Carpentier will win." A syndicate of French promoters Is preparing to organize a European tour for Jack Dempsey ts he defeats Carpentier, it is said. The tour would begin as soon as possible after the fight, and Dempsey's appearance would be sure to draw enormous crowds. A French sporting newspaper says that Dempsey told lts American correspondent that he plans to visit France next year under any circumstances. There Is practically no betting here Carpentier supporters are asking three and four to one. There I* a large'amount of money lying at American bars to be bet on Dempsey at one to two. Mme. Carpentier, wife of the French pugilist, has arranged for n direct telephone Into her home from the cable office. so that she can receive a description of the fkght, b’ow by blow. The French telegraph administration has announced that “fight messages” will be given preference over all others on July 2.

If Luck Decides It, Then Georges Probably Will Have a Chance NEW YORK, June 28. —Perhaps an element of luck will slip Into this thing next Saturday. If it does, It will be all In favor of tbe Frenchman. In everythli g be has attempted the Frenchman has been lucky. Dempsey has been unlucky before and since be won the title from Willard. Everything the fastidious Frenchman has touched turned into money. Dempsey has made a lot of money, but he has also been forced to put an awful lot of It out. Maybe the Frenchman's luck Is the result of the confidence that he gets from being a real Idol of the people. Dempsey hag always been in lad. Before he started his cvllmb as a boxer he had trouble earning a living. Then he got into domestic trouble and right out of there into the worst ol all—the. war trouble.

LAWYER COULD TAKE EITHER MAN AND MAKE HIM FAVORITE

By TAD. NEW YORK, June 28.—Jira Corbett Is one of those gentlemen who thinks things can happen. Corbett Is quite a knowing person, ns far as things pugilistic are concerned. He has seen many a spread turn into a bust. He has seen rnanv a highly-respected gent one day being a laughing stock the next. “I want to tell you,” he said the other day at Bay Side, his home, “a lawyer can take either side In this fight question and make rou bet your life on it. Give him the dope on both men, I mean, and let him taik to a man who knows nothing of the boxing game. “If he’d take the Dempsey end, he’d say the Frenchman is too small. He’d say also that if Carpentier couldn’t lick such men as Dixie Kid, Frank Klaus and Billy Papke, he never was a master at his game. He could Bbow that Carpentier had ‘renigged’ in some of his bouts. He could also show that the only two men Carpentelr beat that amounted to anything were Wells and Beckett. He could prove that these men were only second raters. He would tell his man that Dempsey Is a giant, a terrific hitter and a bulldog In ‘he ring. NOW TAKE CP CARPENTIER SIDE. "Now let this same lawyer take the Carpentier end. He will tell his man that no fighter that ever lived can take a right hand punch square on the chin and stand up under It. Thnt Is. from a man weighing 170 pounds who has proved he can hit. He will tell his man that Dempsey has been hit and can be hit.

JERSEY VISITS POPULAR NOW Cabinet Members, Senators and Congressmen to Be at Ringside Saturday. WASHINGTON, June 28—Officla 1 Washington Is going to be heavily rep resented—unofficially—when Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier clamber through the ropes at Jersey City next Saturday, It appeared today. At least one. and probably several members of the Cabinet are going to be at the ringside and the House and I Senate will have almost a quorum scattered throughout Tex Rickard s big | arena. I One Congressman alone has a block of fifty sea.* in A and 1’- sections and wll 1 take a party of forty-nine guests to the battle on a epeclal car, leaving Washington early Saturday morning. Several I other Congressmen have smaller parties i arranged and from indications today It appeared that toe Hill is not going to do much functioning on Raturdny. Many members have engagements out 1 of town over the week-end and will leave Friday night. Saturday afternoon won’t find them far away from Boyle's thirty acres Most of those going are not advertising [ their good fortune. Os course, it’s legal. 1 and all that, and “this s a free country,” ! but you know how it Is—there are con- | stltnents who don't look at It in a “broad minded way, and, well, what's the use | of Inviting trouble?” It Is probable, too. tbt many of the foreign embassies and legations will be ; represented at the ringside Saturday. They’ve got no eonsttt ictus and they don't care who knows they're going President Harding will be In Jersey on Saturday as the guest of Senator Freliiighu.vsen at his home, but will not go near Jersey City, so far as Is known.

He will tell him also that all boxers fight bad fights. He will tell him that Dempsey fought Willie Meehan five times and lost twice, although Meehan was much shorter and lighter. He will tell his man that when Dempsey fails to kill off an opponent In a round or two he tires. He will tell his man that in the last fight with Meehan, Dempsey put his man to the floor In the second round and that Meehan got up and in the fourth had Dempsey on the ropes with his arms at his sides dead to the world at the bell. He will tell his man that Tom Gibbons recently knocked this same Meehan out In one round. Then he will ask his man If he considers Dempsey to be the man killer he Is supposed to be. “He will tell his man that Dempsey also ti~ed In the Willard fight.

Georges Mournfully Talks of That Tax Bill of Uncle Sam Otherwise Frenchie Seems in Good Spirits, Despite Nearness of Hattie. BY FRANK GETTY, Called Ere** Staff Correspondent. MANHASSET, N. Y , June 28 Carpentier is confident. Watching Georges work out in private today, talking with him on the front porch and observing his constant air of cheerful unconcern wit’ In four days of the fight of his life, one can come to no other decision. Georges himself won’t say—for publication —more than that he will do his best. But when the last Interviewer is removed to behind the barbed wire and the challenger is in the midst of his friends, the real Carpentier shows up and that Carpentier believes he is going to win. Occasionally Georges will sit rocking on the front porch for ten or fifteen minutes at a time, his eyes fixed on something Just over our heads, but far. far away. One watching him knows he is vlsualing the coming right. Perhaps he is counting up to 200.000. "And they are going to take $87,000 right away from me in taxes,” said Georges today, mournfully. Georges, speaking of Dempsey, said: “He has never been really hurt. How do wo know that he can take punishment when he has never been put to the test?” Carpentier says he considers much of his prowess lies In the suppleness of Ms shoulders, which enables him to hit hard and quickly without exertion. Carpentier expected his training session to be strictly private Monday, but some Journalistic friends from Paris blew In and he couldn't eject them. There was also some friends of Jack Curley, his American helper, raising tbe total to thirty-eight. Today It was stated there would be no guests. Some of tbe fastest fighting of the training season was on view when Georges tangled with Paul Sampson for two rounds. The men stood toe and toe and slugged. Cc'oentler giving and taking and ducking. He aWo had two rounds with Chris Arnold and Joe Jeannette.

A. B. C.s Win Behind Johnson’s Good Pitching The A. B. 6a were to meet Rube Foster’s American Giants In tbe fourth game of the series this afternoon at Washington Park. The five game series stood even today, each club having won a game, while the second game on Sunday was cut short at seven Innings by the 0 o'clock closing law wit bthe score a 1 too 1 tie. Yesterday Johnson was tight in the pinches and though, the Giants nicked the veteran for thirteen blows, the unlucky number was good for only four runs, while Taylor's bunch wag making the blows count for three runs in the fourth and sixth innings, the final count betng 6 to 4. With men on bases the curve tall hurler was at his best. He struck out seven men. The A. B. Cl played good ball behind him ail the way. After trying all year to obtain the services of Powell behind tbe bat Taylor finally signed the backstop and he caught his first games Sunday and yesterday. The locals are much strengthened by the addition of this reliable receiver. Eight Homers in Week BALTIMORE, June 28.—Jack Bentley, first baseman and pitcher on the Baltimore Orioles, has established what is believed to be a baseball record. Bentley has knocked eight homers In the last week. Y'esterilny afternoon he registered three consecutive circuit drives, coming to bat in the first, third and fifth innings against Pitcher Morgan of the Rochester Colts. Bentley Is partial to the right-field fence, but has crashed his wallops to all parts of Orloie park and adjacent territory.

INDIANS OPEN TOLEDO SERIES Tribe Takes on Hens After Grabbing Last From Senators. TOLEDO, June 28.—Jack Hendricks brought his Indians to town today to tend them against Bill Clymer's Hens In a big series. A single game was carded for this afternoon, but tomorrow It is thought that a double-header will be staged In order to get off one of the games postponed on the Hoosiers’ previous visit here. Both Indians and Hens have been hitting the bumps and at the paces they have been setting there is not much to choose between the teams. The Hens were tumped off by the Colonels In tbe series closing here yesterday, and as the Indians didn’t do very well at Columbus, both clubs were rarin’ to do something today in tbe hopes of starting a winning streak. Jack Hendricks said today that he still had hopes of his Tribesmen getting together in the manner they displayed early in the season. He said they showed signs of getting their batting eyes back in the Columbus series. In tbe wind-up game with the Senators at Columbus yesterday the Indians won, 8 to 7, in a contest that proved to be a thriller. The Hoosiers got away to a good lead in the early Innings, but tbe Senators kept plugging away at Bartlett's slants until they knocked him out. Cuvet aud Rogge were then used to save the day for Indianapolis. In the late innings the Senators threatened to overtake the Hendrioksmen and they did manage to get within one run of tieing. The big feature of the contest was a home run with the bases filled by DougBaird. Ralph Shinners and Bob Klnsella each got’ four bits. One of Shinners’ blows went for the circuit. Visit.

EVERYBODY TO GET COIN BUT POOR OLD ‘TEX’ If Receipts Are Not More Than $1,000,000 Promoter Rickard Will Be Loser. TAXES TAKE 20 PER CENT NEW YORK, June 28.—One of the New York papers yesterday printed a table showing some figures om the big Jersey City battle. It spoke of the probable receipts as being §,,600,009, g.n-1 on this basis that Tex Rickard’s prcrflt would be §600.000. From the looks of thingß now the receipts will not run up to that figure, and perhaps not over $3,000,000. and if the bouse is only a bare million tbe promoter will find himself or his backers out a considerable sum, astonishing as that statement may seem. HALF MILLION FOR FIGHTERS. To begin with, the fighters are to ge4 the flat sum of §500,000. That cuts the million exactly in two. Then out of the million comes a Federal tax of 10 per cent and a State tax as well under the boxing law of a like amount that will I>e $200,000 more right “off the top,” and if the promoter gets away with a bill of not more than $250,000 for the construction of the new arena he will bo extremely lucky. Thus out of a possible million there remains but SIOO,OOO or so for real promotion and such hundred and one incidentals that are the bugbear of a promoter's life, to say nothing of the unnamed sums that it naturally takes for a strange promoter to go into another man's State and pull off something big. EXPENSE GROWS WITH RECEIPTS, The strange part of it is that the higher the receipts the more the expense. One odd thing comes up at this time in connection with the purse for fear there might be public sentiment and a huge cry against giving two fighters such a vast sum as $500,000. The statement was sent out some time ago that the conditions had b#aa changed, and that instead of a flat sum of $300,000, Dempsey was to receive merely 36 per cent of the gross and that Carpentier instead of a flat sum of $200,000 was to be given 24 per cent on the same basis. That seemed to quiet public sentiment, if there was such a thing, but the change in the articles never was definitely made, and the men will be paid on the flat basis. And if it is a one-punch fight, as many predict, the dear public which pays the freight no doubt will sit back and have a good laugh on Itself.
