Last Day Arrives for Promoters to Produce Final Dempsey Coin

BANKER STANTON ASSURES CROWD MONEY IS THERE Manager Kearns Asserts He Won’t Be Bluffed —Champ in Great Shape. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. GREAT FALLS, Mont.. July 2.—Before the pray stone building which houses the Stanton Savings and Trust Bank, the death watch on the DempseyGibbons fight started early this morning. Some time before midnight the vault of the bank is expected to cough out the SIOO,OOO final payment of the Dempsey $300,000 purse and assure the heavyweight championship battle for Wednesday in Shelby. Outside the two doors of the bank were gathered newspaper men. oil prospectors, a cow puncher and little groups of Elks, attending their State convention here. Champ’s Manager Present Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, appeared and talked with the scribes. He said he hadn't been told when or where the money was to be paid. The contract requires only that it be handed over before midnight. “I have said many times already that If the money Is not turned over Dempsey will not fight,'' Kearns said. “I will not be bluffed by any kind of threats. - ’ George Stanton, president of the bank, who lias been In charge of the latest financial tussle, said the money would be paid, but would say no more. So far as public opinion is concerned. the money is as good as paid The townspeople are talking about the best way to get to Shelby on the Fourth. There seems little doubt that the battle will be staged despite the failure of the promoters to live up to their promises on the previous installment. Jack Convinces Critics Dempsey finished his training Sunday. It was one of his best workouts. He didn’t do much, but the form he showed and the ease with which he went through his stunts with two sparring partners was enough to convince the critics that he is in shape. The champion has improved wonderfuly in the last few days. Where he was listless two weeks ago. he is now full of energy and is showing much of the fire and dash that marked his training in Toledo and Atlantic City. He may not be boxing as well as he used to. although he never has been a flashy scientist, but he seems to be hitting as hard as ever. Following out his own private idea of prepartion. the champion has arrived in top form almost to the hour on the schedule and he seems as fit now as ever.

TRIBE GOES 10 PIECES IN FIRST WITH COLONELS: Errors and Lack of Timely Hitting Prove Disastrous — Four More in Series, By Times Special LOUISVILLE, July 2.—-If a punk start means a good finish, then the | Indians are destined to enjoy a glow ing wind-up to their present road trip. They started their journey here Sunday and seven errors w’ere chalked against them and the Colonels won, 4 to 1. Pug Cavet was on the Tribe mound and he twirled one of his good games.

Cullop was on the mound I for the locals and he w r as effective in the pinches. Cavet was charged with two of the Tribe errors and because of that the burden of his defeat could not he charged entirely against his mates.

SEES-LEFTS AS SLEEP PRODUCERS AT SHELBY

NEA Boxing Expert Believes Big Damage Wednesday Wiil Be Caused Mainly by Southpaw Blows, By WILSON ROSS NEA Fight Expert. SHELBY, Mont., July 2. —This Fourth of July battle between Champion flack Dempsey and Challenger Tommy Gibbons looms beforehand as the meeting of two of the greatest left hands that ever flashed out from the shoulders of two heavyweights in a world title fracas. For*it’s the left mitt that is the chief asset of both Dempsey and Gibbons.

Gibbons himself will tell you that as to his own attack and the world knows that it’s the left hook that won Jack Dempsey his heavyweight crown. Tommy’s Big Ace And the parallel is strong even there —for the hook is the particular left blow in which Tommy Gibbons specialized in achieving the thYrtythree knockouts that are credited to

him in his last thirty-seven fights in j the last three years. Sometimes the left hook wasn’t the actual knockout punch, but if it wasn’t the blow that sent his rivals teppling for the count of ten, the said left hook was the blow that in nearly every case weakened the other man and prepared him for the finishing blow. By this I don’t mean to infer that Jack and Tommy have their right hands chained up. Far fxom it—both can wield a deadly punch with the right mitt. But both of them use the right more for follow-up stuff. Over Opponent’s Guard Gibhons does so more than Dempsey. For I have been watching Dempsey very carefully in his workouts over at Great Falls and I find that time and again he turns loose that right either with a cross over : the other fellow’s guard when a hefty left has made him lower it. And the champion also wields a terrible right blow that’s a cross be tween a jab and an uppercut. It comes in under the opponent’s guard or through it. In fact, it’s a blow that Dempsey seems to vary according to the opening. If he finds the way clear to the body, it’s more of n jab. but If the opening gives him a chance to the chin it becomes more of an uppercut. Either way it's a terriffle punch. When it lands you nearly always hear the victim grunt. Dempsey has been using fourteenounce gloves in his workouts—if he wasn't using that sort of pillow's, his sparring partners would be invalids ! now.

Few Bets —There’s Reason By United Press GREAT FALLS, Mont., July 2.—Very little beUing is being done around here on the Gib-bons-Dempsey bout at Shelby July 4, principally because there Is not enough money to bet. Dempsey, of course, is a strong favorite and it is believed the odds will be bigger than they were a few weeks ago, when the champion wasn’t looking so good. Most of (he bets being offered now are based on how many rounds Gibbons will go.

ANYTHING ME BEET GOES IN SHELBYCONTEST Kidney Punch, Rabbit Punch and Hitting in Clinches Permitted, . By United Press SHELBY, Mont., July 2.—01 d-time man-to-man rules, permitting anything the fists can do above the belt, probably will govern the Dempsey-Gib-bons fight here Wednesday, although the Marquis of Queensbury statutes as interpreted by the local American Legion, will be the official regulations. All Shelby and most of the prospective spectators know little about the finer points of the boxing game, and no referee would dare stop the bout for any such minor infraction of the rules as hitting while holding or the back-hand punch. Eddie Kane, manager of Tommy Gibbons, has been given to understand that the men will fight their way out of the clinches, instead of breaking clean. The kidney punch and the rabbit rap to the base of the skull also will be permitted. Gibbons will be at a disadvantage in most of these emergencies because he Is not nearly so strong as the champion, and strength counts most in rough work at close quarters. The fighters’ hands will be bandaged and the gloves put on in the ring. Only gauze wrappings will be used, without the knots and. there will be only enough adhesive tape to secure the gauze. Spare gloves have been received. Tendler and Friedman Ready Bu Times Bpecial CHICAGO, July 2.—Sailor Friendman and Lew Tendler were to finish up their training today for their Michigan City scrap on July 4. Both fighters were reported to be at the required weight of 138 pounds they are to make at 10 a. m. the day of the fight.
