DEMPSEY'S PARTNERS TO WEAR HEADGEARS; WOUND IS HEALING
(B Aasociated Press) ATLANTIC CITY, June 9. Sparring partners in Jack Dempsey's training camp will be compelled to wear headgears wnen boxing is resumed to lessen the danger of re-opening the wound over the champion's left eye, which was split open last Sunday when Larry Williams butted him trying to evade a punch. Since then Dempsey has done no work with the gloves. Jack Kearns, manager of the title holder, said today that Dempsey .would resume boxing on Saturday 1-rovided the wound continues to heal rapidly. New skin has formed over the gash and the stitches taken in it have been removed. Dempsey wear3 no dressing over the injury. He spends a great deal of time exposing it to the sun to hasten its healing. "I could resume boxing now" Dempsey said today, "as the wound is not causing me any pain, but there's no use taking any chances until it is thoroughly healed. It would be a good mark for Carpentier to shoot at if I am forced to go into the fight with ray eye in. a tender condition. I don't want that to happen. I might be blinded by the flow of blood." Is Old Wound The wound was first opened when Dempsey was training in Toledo for his championship match with Jess Willard two years ago. The Jamaica Kid, a 13S pound negro sparring mate butted Dempsey at that time, ripping a gash about an inch long just at the edge of his eyebrow on the left side. It always has caused him trouble. Jack Renault, a heavyweight in the champion's camp, re-opened the cut about two weeks ago and it was on the mend nicely until Williams' head collided with it. Dempsey with boxing off the program, is concentrating on the development of his famous shift. He stands before a heavy punching bag, first shifting for a right hook and then landing a left. The champion is timing his blows accurately and is hitting sharply and with great force. DEBONAIR GEORGES SEEMS TO CONGEAL STUFF BEFORE PUBLIC fBy Associated Presst MAN H ASSET. June 9. Folks here about who would like to view Georges Carpentier going through his paces during his secret train sessions, but can't, have expressed the opiniou that the chalUnger Is fooling the public They believe he has more up his sleeve than be is willing to let the world in general know about and that! his somewhat listless attitude when boxing for newspapermen is but a ruse to conceal his real powers. While the French champion Is not always listless before the critics, he has thus far refused to effectly demonstrate just how he is going to conduct his offensive campaign when he enters the ring with Dempsey. Apparently that is only half story for from all indications Carpentier will continue to let the public wonder just how many tricks he brought in his little bag from Paris. Lots of Speed. There is no doubt that the debonair prizefighter has a race track full of speed for he occasionally seems to forget himself when the newspapei men are watching him and displays a few of the traits that have made him famous. During his secret sessions, however, it is known that Carpentier takes his work more seriously. Just what he does, however. Manager Descamps said, is Georges' own business. Descamps has declared that the public will know the result of these private! sessions in the ring when they see or' read of Georges' in action on July 2. INEFFECTIVE PITCHING BLAMED FOR BINGLES i By Associated r,rcss XKW YORK, June 9 Ineffective pitching, due to the elimination of freak deliveries, is responsible for the rattle of extra base hits off the fences of Major League baseball parks, according to Manager Tris Speaker, of the World's champion Cleveland club, which nifcts the Yankees today in the third game of their series here. ' The emery ball, the shine ball and the other extremes to wlik-h pitchers resorted for many years kept down the bat tins," Speaker said. "Nov. they are illegal and .-l'it ball pitching has been virtually done away with. The heavy batting of this season is only a natural consequence." "It is uncertain whether steps will 1p taken by baseball officials to increase the effectiveness of the pitchers. The public thus far seems to like heavy hitting, judging from the interest shown in the game this season. Certainly the restrictions on freak pitching deliveries can f not be lifted with safety to the game." The rise of Riggs Stephenson, young Cleveland infielder who went direct from the Alabama university nine to the Indians after the beginning of this season, is characterized by Speaker as the most sensational he has seen in years of professional baseball, and significant of the growing influence of college men in the national game. CONTEST FIRST PLACE. (By Associated Press NEW YORK, June 9. First place in the American league pennant race depended upon the outcome of the Cleveland-New York ganie here today. The world's champions lead the Yankees by half a game. The local team took the first two contests of the series from the Indians who have lost five straight games. The probable pitchers today are Mays for New York and Bagby for Cleveland. COUNCIL HONORS AUTHOR OF "OLD KENTUCKY HOME" PITTSBURGH. Pa., June 9.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND
DEMPSEY IS SHOWING MARKED IMPROVEMENT WITH HIS LEFT HAND ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 9. Overshadowing the cut over Jack Dempsey's left eye and the possibilities attesding It when he faces Georges Carpentier at Jersey City on July 2, is the growing comment on the wonderful improvement Jhe has shown with his left hand in tfie training bouts with his heavyweight sparring partners. Always a good righthand hitter. J5SE.b"S Sr; " r;:j -- 1 have marveled. Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, claims credit for the development of the lefthand. Kearns tied his protege's right arm to his side and forced him to box and punch the bag daily with his left. Dempsey is constantly hooking and swinging with his left hand while shadow boxing and running on the road. Dempsey's double hook with his left made even Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, one of the craftiest of all boxers in his day, gasp with astonishment "He biis twice with one punch," O Bnen said after a workout. In the early fighting days Dempsey used a nice left, but always to the head. Now he hooks first to the stomach, throwing all his force behind it, and even before his opponent ha1 time to step back he sends the same left to the jaw. It is a tremendous blow, or a pair of punches, experts agree, and they predict that if the champion can send his glove into the stomach and bring it to the jaw so masterfully on Car-j pentier as he does on his sparring partners the French heavyweight champion' soon will be in distress. Chips and Slips Connie Mack was generally given ( the credit of being able to size up any promising college ball player better than any other manager in the big leagues, but from the way that Tris Speaker is showing his hand at picking 'em out. he looks to have Connie beaten by the proverbial mile. Wall street opened up Wednesday and made Jack Dempsey a 1 to 3 favorite over Georges Carpentier. Betting so far on the result of the fight has been rather limited but is expected to pick up from now on. A bet of $9,000 to $5,000 in whole or in part, that Dempsey scores a j knockout was offered without any tak ers. Odds of 1 to 10 were offered that Carpentier does not answer the third round bell. Hed Faber worked 10 innings to register his twelfth victory of the season Wednesday, Chicago finally putting across two runs and winning the game 9 to 7. Cleveland is now half a game In the lead in the American league. The Yankees pulled them back a full notch Wednesday when they won 4 to 3. The latter part of the game was played under protest by Manager Speaker. A merry party was going on in a room at a large hotel, when the festivities were interrupted by a bellboy. who said: "Gentlemen, I have been sent to ask you to make less noise The gentleman in the next room says he can't read." "Can't read!" replied the host. "Go and tell him that he ought to be ashamed. Why, I could read when I was five years old." "North." said Mrs. Dedbeat. from the top of the stairs, "tell that man who is ringing the doorbell that 1 am not receiving today!" The servant girl went to the door and said somethinz to the man: then she stepped into the hall and called j upstairs: "I told him you were not receivin'i today, mam! But he says he ain't deliverin , he s collectin'!" The first woman member of the New Hampshire Medical Society was Dr. Mary Danforth. Manchester, who was admitted to membership in 1878.
