Dentpsey and Carpentier are bundles of frves today. Y'ou can bet your life on 'at. They would not be two of the vorld’s greatest boxers If they were ierveless creatures. Nervousness is a good indication. It is iecesarv in a fighter. It doesn’t indicate car It is simply anticipation over the online battle. A boxer who isn’t lerroiisly inclined Is generally a lunkhead ir he Isn’t game. The fellow with ambition and lneiiigence is naturally nervous. Damply is that sort. So Is Carpentier.

From Mme. Georges PARIS, June 30. —“Georges Is neither pessimistic nor optimistic,” Mme. Georges Carpentier told the l nlted Press today. “He writes me every dav. He has high respect for hts opponent's skiU and believes that Dempsey is the strongest adversary he ever encountered. “Georges never believes he is victorious until his opponent Is down and out.**
p*t are rery liable to see the fastest ‘ight ever staged by heavyweights. It •ertainly has all the earmarks of such a ight. If the fight should end in a round or m condition will not count for or against either fighter, but if it should be strung out and prove fast and furious, he-physical angle will be a big factor. To be frank \ did not like Dempsey's habit of knocking out his sparring mrtners every day. It looked to me as hough the big fellow figured that was Ihe quickest way to dispose of them and avoid doing so' much boxing. If such was the case he was in dire danger of going stale. I think, however, he is all right now and from reports he will be in fine fettle Saturday. I got an angle on the sort of fight Carpentier will probably will offer in the first round from a friend who saw Ihe Frenchman In private. I am told he spent practically ail of his training period this week in defensive sparring and footwork with both imaginary and real sparring partners working with him. To my notion this is exactly what he should do if he expects Dempsey to make It a rushing affair.—Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.

THE WHOLE WORLD LOOKS ON
The attention of the world is riveted on Jersey City. No sporting event In history ever evoked the interest aroused by the Car-pentler-Dempsey fight. How it has stirred the people everywhere was revealed today in the following cablegrams to the United Press: ITALIANS FAVOR JACK. ROME, June 30.—Jack Dempsey was a 2 to 1 favorite here today to win from Carpentier next Saturday. The betting was unprecedented for a boxing event. Italians like the races and enjoy staking their money, but ordinarily they are “off" the prize ring. But this match might be scheduled for one of the seven hill* of Rome, so keen Is the gossip, so insistent the backers of one or the other fighter. While Dempsey is a favorite, there are targe sections of the betting population faithful to Carpentier. No picture of the ferocious champion with the “siege gun” left and right, c.mill alter the opinion of the French champion held by some. Much of this Carpentier feeling admittedly was stirred by racial pride. Georges is a Latin, the Italians want a Latin to win. FORET THE “NEXT WAR." PARIS, June 29. —The French people nre solidly behind Carpentier in his coming battle with Dempsey, but the sporting papers for several weeks have been voicing a warning against what they have considered over-confidence based on sentimental loyalty. French sportsmen frankly admit that few of them know Dempsey, while Americans have a better chance to appraise Carpentier. The big fight is occupying large space in all the newspapers and crowding international politics and the “next war” out of convesation. The American supporters of Dempsey here, however, cannot get all their money covered even at liberal odds. FAR-OFF CAPETOWN. CAPETOWN, South Africa, June 30. Somewhat disturbed by cables •stating ' that New York odds are 3 to 1 on Dempsey to win his fight with Carpentier next Saturday, Britishers here continued to lav their money on the Frenchman todav. Cables will 'bring fairly complete returns of the fight late in the evening. FROM TOKIO. TOKIO, June 30.—Jack Dempsev will win next Saturday, according to popular ' belief here. A large American contingent I and hundreds of Japanese who have a:- | tended school in the United States have so impressed outers with Dempsey's abtl-

Gotham Is Feeling Rush of Boxing Fans Coming for Big Bout Hotels in ‘Roaring Forties' Crowded and Fistic Excitement Is Pronounced. BY HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sport Editor. NEW YORK, June 30. —Gotham and its across-the-rlver neighbor, Jersey City, today started feeling the excitement over the Dempsey Carpentier fight. With work over in the training camps of Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, the scenes of activity shifted to this city and the battle ground proper. New York could gobble up a million out-of-towners without it causing a ripple on the surface, but the hotels—the pulse of the city, reported a great wave of incoming fans. Hotels in the “roaring forties” were crowded and the outlying districts were getting plenty of overflow. On the streets, in the hotel lobbies, even in the always crowded subways, there was nothing but talk of the fight. Increase in betting activity was reported In the financial district tyhere the champion was still a three-to-one favorite. Work on the stadium in Jersey City was progressing more slowly than expected. The contractors may not be able to turn the big pine bowl over to Promoter Rickard until late Friday. The ring, eighteen feet square inside the ropes, was completed today under the supervising eye of the New Jersey boxing commission.

HARD TRAINING OVER FOR JACK Champ Through With Gloves Till Day of Fight at Jersey City. By SID MERCER. ATLANTIC CITY, June 30.—Jack Dempsey boxed his last three rounds with spectators looking on at Airport Wednesday and today and tomorrow will do only the lightest w-ork in completing his preparation for Georges Carpentier. J; ,:k boxed with Larry Williams and he was glad when it was over, for he lias put in many weeks of hard training. In the last six weeks he has boxed almost dally and he will not draw op boxing gloves again until they tit him with the eight-ounce mittens at Jersey City Saturday. Though the public performances are over, it doesn't follow that Dempsey Is through working. He will loosen up on the punching bags today and again tomorrow before he departs for Jersey City. He expects to take off two pounds before Saturday by regulating his diet. Coming in from a five-mile Jaunt on the road yesterday morning he sealed exactly 192. Dempsey and his household will move Friday to Jersey City. His means of transportation and bis destination at the scene of ’.he battle are being kept secret by Manager Kearns. It is \understood he will spend the eve of the contest in a jirivate home near the stadium and will see no one. The champion looked today to be just how he should look—in the finest condition. His trainers pronounced him in better condition than he was two years ago when he won the title from Jess Willard. He is mentally fit also.

A BATTLE OF MANAGERS AS WELL AS FIGHTERS JULY 2
By JACK VEIOCK, International New* Service Sports Editor. NEW YORK, June 30 Before the gong rings at Jersey City Saturday and while the big fight between Dempsey and Carpentier is in progress there will be another battle going on -a battle of wits between Jack Kearns and Francois Deseamps. managers of the rival boxers. Descamps has an unusual reputation for craftiness. He Is said to have a whole bag full of tricks. That he is keen as a razor ad quick as a cat -to take advantage of every opportunity to disconcert an opponent of Carpentier while in the ring or beat a rival manager to a mental punch before the bell clangs is well known. Kearns is something of a “Hindoo” himself at this game. He has handled fighters a good many years and never yet Iras he had auything put across on him that a fighter could lay on his shoulders as a gross error. REHEARSE PI.ANB WITH FIGHTERS. Both managers will hare such battle plans as can be made in advance of the actual conflict perfectly rehearsed with the fighters long before ring time. Both will take unusual care in examining the bandages that Jack and Georges will wear beneath their gloves; Descamps, in particular, because he lias hear! the charges made by Willard at Toledo regarding the unnatural hardness of Dempsey's bandages. It will tie remembered that Willard claimed Jlmmv DeForest, Dempsey's trainer, used powdered plaster of paris or tin foil between the strips of ad-

GEORGES’ CAMP IN GOOD MOOD
Challenger’s Handlers Satisfied Everything Possible Has Been Done.
BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Staff oCrrespondent. MANHASSET, N. Y.. June 30.—“ Just waiting for the bell,’’ said Georges Carpentier today. The challenger has completed his training. He is in perfect physical condition and apparently untroubled by the imminence of the championship battle. Having tipped the scales this morning at 17214 pounds and laid away the gloves until Saturday afternoon, Georges declares he will do nothing but rest from now on. Georges’ doctor is enthusiastic over his condition. Gus Wilson, whose job it is to massage and rub him down, says he was never so clean cut and ready for a fight. Manager Des Camps, who goes about the farm rubbing bib hands and smiling after the little flurry of nerves which affected the camp on Thursday, is on eage with confidence. Carpentier hitnsel.’ is the least worried man as far as appearances go of any one at Manbasset. He avoided visitors today, but in private joked and played cards and seemed entirely at his ease. All of the difficulties which have arisen during the last month have been swept away, Carpentier and Deseamps are satisied with the size of the ring which has been completed and are pleased with other arrangements.
l.esive tape that bound Jack’s bandages, and that because of this Dempsey's blows Inflicted the painful bruises that marked Willard's face after the battle. DeForest dented there was anything wrong with Dempsey’s bandages at Toledo, but this will not keep Descamps frona carefully scrutinizing them Saturday. Kearns, likewise, will he sure to look Carpentier's hands over with extreme care. REFEREE ALSO TO EXAMINE ’EM. According to the rules governing New Jersey boxing, Referee Harry Ertle will have the rig'-1 to Inspect the bandages of both boxers, and the writer understands that he has received orders to do so from the New Tersey boxing commission. Jersey law permits th> use of three thicknesses of soft cotton or linen bandages, with cue thickness of surgical tape, to hold them in place. Another little matter that will call for eonu sparring between Kearns and Descamps will be the selection of corners. As usual a coin is flipped for this and in nu open air fight the object is to get the corner facing away from the sun. f’arpentier has already gotten an angle on where the sun hangs at 3 p. ni. He overlooked nothing that could have been to his advantage when he visited the arena. REDS AT FT. WAYNE. FT. WAYNE. Ind.. June 30—The Cincinnaf!

ONE TODAY AND TWO TOMORROW Indians and Hens Resume Series After Splitting Double-Header. TOLEDO, Ohio, June 30.—After dividing a double header yesterday the Indians and Hens were to meet in a single struggle this afternoon. Tomorrow a second twin bill will be staged. In thd struggle yesterday ths Indians grabbed the first game. 5 to L behind the good pitching of Rogge, but they couldn’t repeat in the second, though the Tribe batsmen pounded out fifteen hits. The Hens got to Stryker at the start of the wind-up and the Tribesmen wer unable to overcome the lead, the Clymer* ites winning, 6 to 4. Rogge allowed only five safeties In ths opening battle of the day and he seldom was In danger. It was one of his good games and for that reason there was not much chance for the locals. Doug Baird hurt the Indians’ chances some in the second fray by getting himself kicked out of the pasttming when he argued too vigorously on one of Umpire Johnson’s decisions. In this game the Tribesmen kept climbing, and with a little more luck they probably would have won out. They forced Bedient to retire in the ninth and Doc Ayers finished on the mound. The Hooslers outbit the Hens, fifteen to twelve. Manager Bill Clymer of the Hens Is having trouble here and there are indications that Roger Bresnahan will hav to make a change. The fans are dissatisfied with the showing of the locals and naturally they blame the management. The attendance has started to fall away and the club stockholders are of the opinion that a change in management might lend the team to do better. Fred Luderus stands a good chance of taking over ths reins, it is said.
