It is a fact well known that Miske la an able battler and It is in his idleness for the past year that the Dempsey ramp sees real reason to fear for the safety of pugilism's greatest prize. Five rr.0r.th5 of careful training, during which time he has engaged in one bout, represents the amount of preparation which Miike had gone through before coming here to continue his work. That Dftmpsey will not suffer from over-confidence is certain. Ho has demonstrated that much by the enrerness with which he has followed the structions of Manager Jack Kearns In his training. "With the abls Ben Smith assisting. Jack has just completed about the most strenuous first week's training a champion ever engaged in in preparing to defend his title. Five days of road work has sharpened the champion's w ind and strengthened!! is legs to such a degree that he says he feels fit right now to jam!? into the ring. "I ll reed some boxing to improve my rpeed and judgment of distance," said Dempsey today, ' but I do not anticipate any trouble getting down 1o tho form I was In against "Willard. I have only a few extra pounds to remove now. At Toledo I was In and rut of form dur:r.g that long stage of training several times. I have kept in shape by doing light work for several months, boxing- exhibitions and th like, and the

past w-eek's work here has done me a lot of good." Hundreds cf week-end visitors Journeyed to the rempey camp yesterday.

Friction Over

Weight Forfeit

Developing Fight fans of the region are watch

ing with interest the controversy which

has developed between Charlie V.Tiite

and Pal Mcran over the weight forfeit

which Moran s manager c'.aimod last

Saturday when White weighed in at 137 while Moran tipped the scales at 133.

The trouble has been brewing all week until now it is reported that the two

managers have practically come to

blows over the matter.

The same bitterness is understood to

be felt by the two boxers and when they get together In the rir.g each will be In the mood for a knockout if it is at all possible. This is what the fans are hoping for and figure that the more scrapping the two managers do before the battle in the ring the more Interesting the ring contest Is Liable to be. There have boen two changes in the rest of the card, both cf which are considered as good or better than the original matches. Bud Chrljtlano Is off the card against Bud Perrlil because "White refused to appear cn the same card with Chrlstlano. "White has nothing against Chriitiano but objects to the manager. In tho preliminary bout Sammy Mandel will again substitute for his brother Joe. Joe had previously signed for another bout next Saturday and it was necessary to make a change. Sammy Is the same boy who onsde such a hit on the last card and Is sure to make things Interesting when he steps into the ring next Saturday. Oswego thinks that this is the beyt card that has ever been arranged for East Chicago and is ex rioting a record

crowd. The advance sale for last Sat rday was the largest of any show that has been held and the sale has boen continuing at a fair rate this week.
