Jack DemDsey. like his prospective op nonent Georges Carpentier, is well barricaded from the thousands of curious fight fans who have attempted to view the world's heavyweight chanv cion at close range. Barriers are encountered on every side. The camp where Dempsey is in training, is on the outskirts of Atlantic .City about two miles from the famous ; board walk and is reached by only one avenue of travel. The tract of 160 acres in which the r.nmn is located is bounded on all , sides by a fence ten feet high and to - reach the eastern fence, the inlet, a body of water nearly a quarter of a ,mile wide, has to be crossed. Dempsey is on view to the spectators each afternoon at 3 o'clock when : he begins his daily workout. . At all other times the only persons who can see the heavyweight champion are the newspaper men and these must present properly signed passes. Dempsty seldom comes out of his training quarters before it is time for him to begin his daily work in the open. On rare occasions he visits downtown or the board walk, but wjjen "lie does he is followed by a curious crowd. When in town Dempsty is seldom still. He will stop and chat for a few seconds with a friend, and then swing off somewhere, walking at a vapid gait. It is amusing to see his friends try to keep up with him when he is on a stroll. Tennis Association Formed Friday Night Tennis players of Richmond will meet at George Brehm's store on Main street at 7:30 o'clock Friday night. The purpose of the meeting is to keep the committees in touch with the project, of getting the various courts in shape. A tennis association also will be formed at this meeting.

Light Heavy, Middleweight Title Changes Are 7 raced

Br PRANK C, MEXKE PUGILISTIC FACT8 AND RECORDS NUMBER 3y Tracing Title Change Light, Heavy and Middleweight At this moment Georges Carpentier is the light heavyweight champion of the world. This class scales above the middleweight limit and fights under 175. The Frenchman, - who was the light-heavy champion of Europe, won the world's title by defeating Battling Levinsky in four rounds on October 17, 1920. The light heavyweight division is not an outstanding one in pugilism. Not much attention has been paid to the clashes. That's because the membership in that class' changes completely every two years. By the time new men graduate into it . from the middleweight ranks the others have bulked along into" the actual heavy weight division. Bob Fitzsimmons was the first of the famous light heavyweight champions. He never lost the title, merely vacating it when he determined to do all his battling against men heavier than 175. In the years that followed a score of men laid claim to the crown. Some lost the "title" in fights; the majority surrendered their claims to it when they began weighing more than 175. Jack Dillon claimed the title seven or eight years ago and successfully defended it until he lost it to Levinsky who in turn-was beaten by Carpentier. Middleweight Champions. Dooney Harris was probably the first American who 6tyled himself ."middleweight champion". That was in 1865. He named 158 pounds as the maximum limit - Tom Chandler disputed , his kingship, -' challenged - and the battle waa fought in California, on April 13, 1S67. It was a London Prize Ring Rules affair, for a 5,000 side bet. Chandler won in 33 rounds. 1872 George Rooke made claim to the championship, Chandeler refusing to fight him, and Rooke then became recognized as the title-holder after he had beaten the top-notchers.

The men ac companied by Coaclies Mowe and Higgins will leave for South Bend Friday morning, .and are as follows: Ivey, Johnson, Carey, Dalton, Robertson, Carter, Fraffis and Robinson. Mowe has entered Ivey in both hurdles and both jumps and he should be able to annex some points in nearly all of these events. Last year in the state meet he won the high hurdles, running the event in time for a new state record had he not knocked over the last hurdle. He is expecting some stiff competition in the high jump as Siebert of N. A. G. U., who beat him last week in the I. C. A. L. contest and who won last year's state jump, will again be on hand together with several other leapers capable of jumping around the six foot mark. Discus Events Safe Johnson and Carey will compete in the discus and shot events. Both may be able to place in the discus throw as few if any men in the state have equaled their marks made this season. Dalton has been entered in the mile and two mile, Robertson and Carter in the quarter mile. The Quaker mentor has also entered the relay team composed of Robertson, Graffis, Carter and Robinson, in the hope of placing well up in this event. The team last week easily won the I. C. A.

The win put the Bakers ' into first place and Himes into second place. - . The Bakers scored .. two more runs in. the second and Nicodemus tightened up "and did not allow another run. The Himes swatters kept plugging along and came within one run of tying the score. They scored two runs in the first, one in the second and five in the third. Dunham on the bill for the Bakers also tightened up and did not allow another run' Nicodemus was' riot as effective Wednesday night and was touched for 11 hits and the fielding of his team mates saved him several times. Dunham hurled good ball and "was given poor support in the field, the Bakers' fielders" malting many errors that proved costly. "- Hartman Big Hitter - Hartman, backstop of the Bakers, was' the hitting' star of the contest, connecting 'for a double and two singles out of three trips to bat. Patterson connected for a triple. in the first frame that came at an opportune time. , - Thursday afternoon the Press and the Policemen will lock horns for a six inning tilt.

I have dwelt upon the speed of Carpentier, But the public gets "the knockout When it hauls the fiscal sock out For its little whiff of fistic atmosphere. H. T. W.. Tris Speakers Indians made it three straight from Boston when they staged a ninth inning rally and chased O'Niell over the plate with the winning tally. "Babe" Ruth's thirteenth home run was not lucky enough for hls team Wednesday,;: the St; Louis' Browns scoring two runs, after two were out in the ninth inning, which gave them the long end of a -7 to 6 score., . Two men were on bases when the Bambino poled the ball for one of the longest hits ever recorded at the St. Louis park. Street car accidents have decreased tince the advent of short skirts, according to a delver into the statistics, but the statistician neglects to give figures on other accidents, possibly induced by the study of short skirts. The teacher asked - the class to write down eleven Antarctic animals. Jimmy Jones quickly wrote down his answer and took his slate to the teacher's desk. This is what sheread: "Six seals, four polar bears and one walrus." Promoter Tex Rickard now predicts that the gate receipts for the Demp-sey-Carpentier fight will reach $1,500,000. That is the amount that will be taken in if the big arena is filled and already there is every indication that not a seat will be left vacant when the men square off for action One million and a half is more than a million more than any other fistic event has drawn and there have been some big gates during the last 15 years.
