EARLY FINISH PREDICTED IF GEORGES ACTS Veiock Compares ’Em and Sees Jack Winning Hurriedly if Frenchie Doesn’t Run. CHAMP HAS THE CLASS By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 29. —Tiger vs. panther. Fast and vivid combat. The tiger wins. This is our Tersion of the fistic drama of the century at Jersey City Sataurday, with Dempsey as the tiger and Carpentier in tl*i panther role. Five rounds at the most should bring this combat to a close in favor of the world's heavyweight champion. Th-ee rounds may suffice to bring about a decision, particularly if Carpentier stands up and fights. Dempsey will be unleashed fury when the bell rings. That we know. Carpen tier will he—and this no one knows. Dempsey may be depended upon to force the battle, Carpentier will very probably attempt to stab at him from long range, endeavoring to keep away and hoping to see the champion fight himself out. Dempsey has been quite a one-round fighter, yet, who can say that he cannot go the distance, and who can say that he will wear himself out chasing Carpentier? JACK’S ATTACK IS CYCLONIC. Physically. Dempsey Is Carpentier’s superior. He hits harder and he can take a wallop better. He mar not be as fast on his feet as the French challenger, but he is the wickedest twohanded puncher in modern heavyweight history, and his cyclonic attack Is a great defense in itself. * They say Carpentier has an annihilating right. Apparently he has. Dempsey also has a crushing right band and his left is full of concentrated TNT Carpentier, they teU us, has mastered the "one-two.'’ Dempsey has perfected the “one-two-three.’^ The champion uses a terrific double hook with his left. It lands like a flash on the body and is immediately switched to the jaw without lost weight or motion. It is followed immediately by a terrific right cross to the Jaw. Stack this triple punch against Carrventier's one-two or his right hand and you have the wallops that will be the real factors in this tight. Carpentier, It is admitted, has speed and science. Dempsey Is no freight train and he has an offense that counterbalances anything in the way of a bulge Georges may have In cleverness. CHAMP ALSO HAS CLEVERNESS. They say Carpentier has uncanny footwork and moves out of the way of punches with the etse and grace of a gazelle. Mebbe. mebbe. Yet Mr. Dempsey's head has an uncanny way of moving aside and letting punches go by and all the while he is driving fiercely for his opponent's Vital spots. Dempsey, they say, has never met a boxer like Carpentier: that he has met mostly s'ow moving target*. How many fast moving targets has Carpentier disposed? Certainly none as fast as Dempsey and never a one who could stand up and exchange wallops with the champion. How did Carpentier get his match with Dempsey? Wasn’t it by knocking out Joe Beckett, a feat accomplished also by Frank Moran and others, and by trimming Bat Leviasky In four rounds? How many American heavies can you name who could best both Beckett and Levinsky to a frazzle? Look ’em over. Gibbons. Brennan, Martin. Fulton, Roper and perhaps several others. Carpentier no doubt, is a flashy lionhearted Fighter who completely outclasses anything they have brught to light on European soil since the days of Charley Mitchell. And no doubt he Is one of the greatest men of bis weight and inches fistlania has ever known. But he's out of his class against Dempsey.

This Reformer Opposes Fight, but He’s Going to Be Present Saturday

NEW YORK. June 29.— The Rev. John Reach Stratton, who campaigned so Vigorously against Broadway cabarets and dime dance halls. Is going to the Dempsev-Carpentier fight. The Rev. Stratton declared today he intended to go to the fight “just to see the thing.’’ •‘lt will aid me in my battle against a rep-etltion o' it. Bull fights and gladiators, combats should have no place in our civilization.’’ he said. "The reform organization has the right idea. The fight should be stopped.” Stratton characterized the champion boat as an example “that civilization is degenerating into the iniquities of ancient Roane,” Seize Jack’s Car for Unpaid Doctor’s Bill PHILADELPHIA, June 29.—An automobile belonging to Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion, and said to be valued at $15,000. was seized in front of a hotel here Tuesday to satisfy a Judgment obtained against the fighter in a Philadelphia court recently by Dr. Herbert E. Goddard for an unpaid balance for a minor operation on Dempsey’s nose. Jam>’s Dougherty, a friend of Dempsev, had driven the car here from Atlantic Oitv on an errand for the champion. Dr. Goddard charged Dempsey SI,OOO for the operation, which was performed "■"y than a year ago. The fighter paid SSOO, declaring the fee sufficient. The doctor sued aud won judgment for the remaining SSOO.

Babe Makes a Call

MAXHASSET. X. Y., June 29.—Babe Ruth, home run king, visited Georges Carpentier's camp Tuesday and wished the challenger a borne ruri on Saturday in. the contest for the world's heavyweight boxing championship with Jack Dempsey. . Rntn was one of a small army of visitors who besieged the camp in a handshaking assault on the challenger, which grew to such proportions later that Carpentier sought refuge from the friendly invasion in a hurried automobile trip. Since early Tuesday morning when Carpentier returned from a hard grind on the road, the visitors came in an apparently endless stream of automobiles. The first of distinction came trailing down the road in a fast roadster and pulled up with a jerk at the entrance. “Who are you?” Inquired the policeman on duty. “Babe Ruth,” was the reply. •’Drive in.” said the cop. “Hello Georgea,” he began Babe. “My name Is George, too; hope you get a home run Saturday. “Same to you,” smilingly rejoined the challenger after Babe's greeting had been translated for him. The home run champion stood alongside the champion heavyweight boxer of France for a comparison, of their size. “I’m bigger this way,” laughed Babe, cupping his hands in front of him. “but you’re the bigger this way,’’ and he measured the challenger's shoulders. Babe | had his picture taken with Georges, and then with a wave of his hand drove away. Next came Vincent Richards, the tennis player, anxl a number of other persons well known in sporting circles. ‘Jerky* Jimmy Bobs Up PHILADELPHIA, June 29.—The Philadelphia National League Club announced Tuesday it had purchased Jimmy Smith, '.nftelder, from the Cincinnati Club. Smith played second base tot the XnCUMffiit Club i*4 l, M&SOO.

IS THE FRENCHMAN CRACKING?

BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Staff Correspondent. MAXHASSET, N. Y., June 29. Francois Descamps tripled the guards around Carpctitier's camp today to Insure the French challenger complete quiet after his attack of "nerves.” During his manager's absence yesterday Georges almost broke down under the strain of too many visitors and had to flee from the camp. Pierre Mallet, his friend and interpreter, rushed him into a car and they whirled away from the farm, heedless of an approaching storm. Mallet, pale and flustered, had only one thought. "Mon dieu, I’ve got to get him

Frenchmen Begin to Realize How Small an 18-Foot Ring Is Gives Very Little Room to Keep Away From Dempsey's Punches. fly JACK McACLIFrE Retired Fndefeated Lightweight Champion NEW YORK. June 29. —Francois Descamps has maintained a strict silence on the Frenchman's battie pians. The Frenchmen have Just awakened to the fnct that Dempsey will be hard to run away from in an 18-fcot ring. They are not registering a protest about it, but thev are saying in a rather diplomatic fashion that the Quecnsberry rules call for a 24-foot ring. Deseamps is too smart a man not to know that the original agreement called for an IS-foot ring. This size ring is not unusual. Many champion battles have been fought within those confines. In a big money fight the size of the ring is important. The larger the ring the fewer seals at $56 per head. It looks to me that the Frenchmen finally have learned that they were misinformed about the speed of the champion. Tt also looks positive to me that carpentier is going to fight a running battle. Deseamps evidently thought when he signed the agreement that Carpentier was good enough to mix It with the champion in a small ring or that Dempsey was so slow that the fleetfooted eGorges could get away from him.

Another Effort Friday to Prevent Staging of Fight in Jersey City JERSEY CITY, June 29.—Pierre P. Garvin, prosecutor of Hudson County, New Jersey, “frill lay information before the county grand jury Friday that principals in the Dempsey-Carpentier fight are guilty of conspiracy to violate the Jersey boxing laws, it was stated today. Garvin said that while he held there was no effort made to violate the law, he was compelled to use the Information supplied by Jersey City pastors and representatives of the International Reform Bureau. The charges laid before Garvin by Rev. Harvey L. Wyatt, of the clergymen's club committee, were the same as used yesterday in efforts to obtain an injunction to prevent the fight. The affidavits declared the bout Is to be a prize fight and not an exhibition, to which the Jersey laws limit such contests; that it would corrupt the morals of Jersey City youths, attract undesirables to the city and that the promoters had made it easy to carry out a ticket swindling game. "I believe the fight promoters Intend to comply with the law, but as this complaint has been made to me, it Is my duty to submit the papers to the grand jury and I will do so Friday afternoon,” Garvin said.

BIG TASK FOR JACK’S INDIANS Twin Bill Today and Another Double Card Friday at Toledo. TOLEDO, .Tune 29.—The weather man here seems to have something against the Indians, as every time Hendricks brings his Tribe to town immediately “showers tomorrow” is’ forecast. On the spring appearance of Indianapolis two games were postponed because of rain, and yesterday the weather ran true to form. As a result of the numerous postponements a donble bill is on the card for today and another one Friday. There will be lots of baseball within the next few days. Clymer would like to take his hopefuls over the heads of the Indians In this series, as the fans around “thekb here parts" are not very much satisfied with the way the Mud Hens have been traveling and blame some of it on too many •Bianagers. President Tom Hickey is in town to present to the Toledo club the cup which was won on opening day for the largest attendance in the Association. The presentation was postponed yesterday. It Is very fitting and proper tnat tue trophy should be presented now. as the Boosters opened the season here and so helped their rivals win the prize. It is the irony of fate that the Indians should have helped beat their own Chamber of Commerce, who made a side bet of a stiver cup with the local chamber on the opening (lay attendance. Both of these opening day attendance trophies were to be awarded today. Indianapolis had some loyal rooters today, as the Indimapolis Moose delegation planned to occupy a section of the grand stand and yell for the “home boys.”

Dempsey'i recent fight with Bill Brennan- did much to bolster Georges Carpentier'* confidence in his chances to win the championship. He made this plain to me the othef< day at Manhasset. "I look on the Brennan fight with' much satisfaction,” said Carpentier. 1$ proved several things to me. “Accounts of that fight show that Dempsey can be hit and by a bqxer who is comparatively slow. If Brennan could hit the champion, why not I. And I be* lieve if I can hit him he will go down, We shall see. , “Another thing. That report concern* ing Dempsey's condition. Did It not occur to you, Mr. Corbett, that In order to take quite a beating from Brennan in the first six rounds and then come back in the final rounds and knock Bren* nan out Dempsey had to be In pretty good condition? I'm quite sure he was not as bad off as has been claimed. Carpentier's angle on the Brennan* Dempsey fight is a brand new one. The bout has been picked to pieces by the critics many times, yet I've never heard any one say that Dempsey exhibited unusual slaying qualities for a man out ot shape. Dempsey said after the fight that he was glad he had proved to himself that he could go the distance. The recent bout between Willie Meehen and Tom Gibbons also came in for com* meut by Georges. "I am much interested to see wher® Gibbons knocked out Meehan,” he volunteered. “I have seen Gibbont in one bout which he won very quickly. His victory over Meehan recalls to me the fact that Dempsey has never been able to knock Meehan out and has lost two decisions to him. Now then, is this fellow such a man killer after all?” The result of the Meehan fight is interesting in that it gives us another angle on Gibbons. I understand Gibbons will challenge the winner and stands a good chance of getting a match for Labor day. If he does, he may some day be the world's champion. One never can te!L Gibbons is a serious fellow, who lives right and takes good care of himself— Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.
