French Fighter's Heart Is Se
On Winning Championship Of
World Next Saturday.
BY JAMES J. CORBETT
(Former Heavy.v-e'.g-ht Champion of
the 'World.)
("Written Expressly for I. N. Service.)
(Copyright. 1921. by I. N. Service.)
NEW YORK. June 28. I dropped In on Georges Carpentier at Manhaaset
about S o'clock the ether evening;. I
expected to And the challenger sitting on the veranda or the lawn. He was
not In sight.
Presently he came up to the house from the bis barn in which he does his ryrn work. He was flushed and
perspiring .
"Ah. Georges.' T remarked. "You are putting In torn rood licks when to one 19 around? Yooi are working as you expect to work when you pet
Into the rlns with Dernpsey next Sat urday?"
Carpentier laughed, winked and said
Ilea-eantly:
Golnr to flpht tontrht? Go In com
fort. CaJl a Yellow Cab. Phone 154.
Adv.
"You are rlfrht. Mr. Corbett. I have Just been g-oln through some work
that I conslderc-d very important.
didn't gret an opportunity to do It
a.rlier in t.h uiy. Thre were too
ma.ny around. y
"You see, I am so In earnest about this flgrht. I am really training quite ha,rd . To win means everything to
me. more by far than th money
though, of course, that is a great incentive. F.ut to be chajnpion of the
Tvorld! That has been my dream for
ytars and I will leave nothing undone
to bring about its realization."
Believe me, Georges is serious. He riAs reasoned out his chances from
every angle and the result he obtain
d has convinced him that they are
. pood . Going to fight tonight? Go In com.fort. Call a Yellow Cab. l"hone 154. Adv.
While he told me nothing of ins
plans for the Dcmpsey ftht, I imagine.
that when he gets into me ring ft will
"be with the intention of 1- tting Domp-
ry force things and attempting to
box him at long range. Georges be
Kevea he can put avross a winning
punch once the opening comes and he will be content to wa.it for it. He
very probably figures, also, t-hat remp
tey may tire himself out and that this
t3 a point well worth considering. In the Willard fight at j.o;Jo, Pempsey fought himself out in the first round. lie gave Willard everything he had ahd won his fight. No fighter ever expended more energy tn 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 of ihand and rempsey will not find him as easy to hit. Dernpsey has one glaring fault, as I see it. And that is failure to relax. He stands there ready to hit, muscl-s c-t and firm. He did it at Toledo when Willard was weaving around like a drunken man and unable to Itarm him. lie simply doesn't know the m-eaning of relaxation and in his ca.se with thse tremendously heavy arm, failure to relax is bound to resuit In tiring out the muscles. If Carpentier can carry him along therefor. he will conserve his etrength while Dernpsey expends his. lor the Frenchman has discovered the secret of r'Jaxing. He can go the distance the better for it, too.
STEGER NINE IS EASY FOR THE SCATENAS
The Scatena Colts added another ln to thir long string of victories when they defeated the Stener, 111., baseball team by the score of 11 to 4. This is the tenth game the Scatenaa have won and have lost but three games, although the Steger buj came to Hammond with a wonderful record It was all in vain, the Scats were too much for the 5-teger club. The Steger team had such well known men as Sam Hall, who has played a few games with the Pyotts of Chicago and Harry Jfoller, who has been playing with the West Ends of Chiccgo, but v;n with such well known men the Steiirs could not hold the Scatena nine. The batting honor goes to Brennan, ICorth, Sheridan and J. Jones. the quartet of batters helped much toward the victory of the Scats. Sam Creasbaum pitched his usual good game and held the Stegcr hoys to 4 liits. Walter He?s, the Seatena's star back stop, played a wonderful game behind the bat. Four Steger boys tried to steal on this heady catcher hut all in vain, when they steal on this catcher Hess they are sure stepI!nr acme. Next Sunday the Seatena's will cross bats with the fast St. Hedwiks who are the leaders of the Gary City Marue, This heady Gary atn Vias not lost a game this season and the war things look the Scats will have their hands full. Batting- order for Sunday's game
"Choosing up are George MogTidjre, Jr.. and Walter Johnson, Jr. The others, left to right, are: Jim Shaw, Jr., Elizabeth and Eugenia Milan. Eddie Johnson. Katherine and Anita Judge and Eleanor Johnson.

RINGS OUT SIR
FACTS ABOUT 0
EMPSEY
BY TAD (Written for the International N". S . NEW YORK, June 2S. Jim Corbett is one of those gentlemen who .thinks that things can happen. Corbett is quite a knowing person as far as things pugilistic are concerned. He has seen many a spread turn into a bust. He has seen many a highly respected gent one day being a laughing stock the nfxi. "I want to tell you." he said- the other day at Bayslde. his home, a lawyer culd take either side in this fight question arid make you bet your life on it. Give him the dope on both men, I mean, and let him talk to a man who knows nothing of the boxing game. "If he'd take the Pompscy 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 show
that Carpentier had 'reigned' in euine
of his bouts. He would show that he
had been knocked out in others he
could also show that the only two men
Carpentier beat that amounted to any
thing were Wells and Backett. He
could prove that these men were only
second rate boxers. He would tell his man that Dernpsey Is a giant, terrific
hitter and a bull dog in the ring.
"Now let this same lawyer take the
Carpentier end. He will teil his man
that no fighter that ever lived can take
a right hand punch square on tho
chin and stand up under it. That is.
from a man weighing 170 pounds who
has proved he run hit. He will tell
him also that a.ll boxers fight bad fights. He will tell Mm that Dernpsey fought Willie Meehan five times and H.st twice, although Mee.hafi was much shorter and lighter. He will tell his man that when Dernpsey fails to kill off an opponent in a round or two he tires. He will tell bis man that In the last fight with Meethan D mpsey put his man to the floor, in the second nund and that Meehan f;ot up and in the fourth had Dernpsey on the ropes with his arms at his sides dead to the world at the bell. He will tell his man that Tom Gibbons recent'y knocked this same Meehan out "in one round. Then he wil ask his man if he considers Denips-y to be the. man killer he is supposed to be. "He will tell his man that Dernpsey also tired in the Willard fight. Dernpsey had Willard down seven times in the first round, and liny fought two rounds more and Demps'.y didn't even stagger Willard ones In the two rounds. - He will tell his man that Willard staggered pempsey just before the bell in the third round proving that Dernpsey is a cwie round fighter. "He will tell his man that Dernpsey doesn't know how to relax and that sparring partners have hit Jack on the. chin repeatedly in their workouts at Airport and elsewhere. He will ask his man if he doesn't think Carpentier will land at 1'ast once. "You see you can figure this fight more ways than one. I'm nut betting on it, but if I were a betting man I think I'd ponder a l"ng while before offering three to one."

SOX PLAY TODAY AT SULLIVAN, IND.
Yesterday was a so-.'t day for the White Sox. too soft even for practice on the home lot. It was an open da'e in the schedule, although Detroit has a postponed game here. It could not be played off because of the agreement with the Cubs not to conflict except when scheduled to do so.

PIRATES DEFEAT
HEGEVV SCH MIDGETS
Ml
With Mocks Berg pitching first class
ball the Pirates defeated the Hege-
wiHoh Midguts by a score of 3 to 0.
Berg allowed the Midgets but five hits and had one bad inning, that being the
seventh when two errors by the Infield, and one hit put three men on base. He had the best of control that inning by striking out the next two men up and the third man up hit an
Infield fly which was an easy out.
Berg gets credit for pitching' tlv first shut-out game this season, and also got credit for winning foiy straight games, and in each game n. -t allowing
over five hits. Iled Young also plav-
ed a good game behind the bat by making about six good throws to second base and getting the man each time. The Pirates will always have a pood word for this Hegewisch team, tx cause they play a clean game of ball and also are a good bunch of snorts.
P. S. Kid Gleason. here's a chance
to get a good pitcher.

George Gloria, the only man living who ever knock out Georges Carpentier, accomplished that feat in six rounds In 1909. commenting yesterday on Carpentier's forthcoming championship bout with Jack Dempsey, taid: "Carpentier must win in the first or second round, of else he is doomed to defeat." "Dernpsey will be weighed down by the enormoua responsibility of carrying the honor of America on his broad shoulders." Gloria declared. "His brain will be absolutely paralyzed dunng the first round, as was that of Beckett ( Knglish heavyweight) in his match with Carpentier."

This is considered a big turnout in
view of the fact that it was raining

Lessor who issued the challenge
claimed the game by a forfeit. He said that rain was not a legitimate excuse for calling off a water polo match. Nevertheless it is believed in some quarters that Lesser is taking
advantage of a technicality.

BECAUSE we put the utmost quality info this one brand. Camels are as good as it's possible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a cigarette. Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the best cigarette it's possible to buy. Nothing is done simply for show. Take the Camel package for instance. It's the most perfect packing science can devise to protect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper secure foil wrapping revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight. But there's nothing flashy about it. You'll find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows. Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And remember you must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality. If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest cigarette you can imagine and one entirely free from cigaretty aftertaste, It's Camels for you.
