' JACK DEMPSEY ALL
WASHED UP; AWAITS
SATURDAY'S BIG GO
"Nothing Doing This Week so Far as Hard Work and the
Champion Are Concerned Appears to Be in
Perfect Physical Condition
By UOnEIlT W. MAXWKLL,
Sports Editor Ettnlnic Public Leilter
Atlantic City, N. J., June 27.
JACK DEMPSEY has finished his strenuous training for the championship
Mtravaganzn at Jersey City next Saturday, which has been otght-shected
throughout these United States for the last two months. Tho tltloholder Is
all washed up so far as hard work Is concerned, and from now on thoro will
bo nothing doing save Delsnrtc exercises. He will pound tho roads every
morning, limber up In the afternoon and between those times nil ho haa to
do Is sleep and worry. . .
The champion Is on edge and Just rarln to go. He has won like that
for three weeks, but tho lnt week alwas Is the hardest. His checks are
sunken, his eyes have an unnatural glare nnd a frown always Is on his face.
Training for six weeks Is enough to niln the disposition of any man, ami
Dempsey Is no exception. He might be worrying nbout the coming battle or
It might be the effects of the monotonous grind, but whatever It is Jack has
reached that Mage which Teddy Hayes calls "mean."
tt,...,. u Ik nlrntnnt to the newnaper men and other visitors at nis
camp
rr.., t, Wcn't i thorn often,
oblige. Yesterday a photographer stopped
asked If he would pne on the front porch tor .1 picture, wunoui a woru
Jack dashed up the steps, sat in a chair and asked. "Will this do?
A couple of pictures were snapped and then the photographer asked him
to smile.
"Smile?" asked Dempsey. "Why should I do that? I can t smile even
if I tried." L .
When it was all oer he dashed into the arenn and. without any prelimi
naries, hopped Into the ring nnd began to work with the pulley machine, tor
three, minutes he did this and then, without any rest, shadow-boxed two
rounds. He tppped around lightly and without effort, and stopped only when
Teddy Hayes tied on his gloves for the first bout of the .afternoon.
Dempsey acted like 11 racehorse nt the post, Impatient to get under way.
He shifted from one foot to the other, glared at his sparring partner nnd,
when time was called, rushed nt him with every intention of annihilating him.
"He's in great shape. ' said Jack Hoot, the old middleweight, who sat
near us. "I never have seen him box before, but he has tho goods. He hits
harder, Btraightcr and more often thnn any boxer I have looked at, nnd I
hare seen raan. The thing that impresses me is the way he hits. There is
power behind every blow, but if ho happens to miss it doesn't seem to worry
him. He just tries again, and when he lands a punch it means something.
ttpiTZSIMMOSS iras a great hitter, but he used to plan nit effective
punches, lie didn't hit hard every time. lie would jab lightly,
feint a couple of times and then, trhen his man teas in position, he
would launch the hard wallop. If he missed he would go through the
same preliminaries again. Dempsey makes every punch a tough one,
and a man like that is dangerous."
Four Men Face Jack in Sunday Workout
JACK boxed first with Eddio O'Hare, and It was a very fast contest. For
two rounds his lighter foe stepped all around him, jabbing and hooking,
with the champion on the defense.
"Dempsey looks terrible today," said one of the cash customers. He
Isn't laying a glove on that boy." ....,,, u,
All of which was true, except the terrible part of It. Jack pulled his
punches and worked for speed. His opponent was as fast, If not faster, than
Carpcnticr, and the workout was important. Several times, however, krick
out wallops swished past the chin of O'Hare, missing by a small fraction
of an inch.
In this workout it was noticeable that Dempsey can be hit. Eddie
Jabbed him continually and also landed some rights to the head. Perhaps it
was because the champion was not trying his usual methods, which consisted
of a rushing attack which keeps his opponent bo busy defending himself that
he hasn't time to do anything on the offense. Dempsey fights like Glenn
"Warner coaches a football team. The Pittsburgh coach says a good offense
Is the best defense, and Jack Is copping that stuff.
After O'Hare left the ring Barry Williams stepped In for two rounds.
This time he lasted the limit, because Dempsey was kind nnd gentle, IIow
ver, It was a slow workout, as Williams was afraid to do anything but
clinch and cover up.
Jack Renault has an act of his own when he boxes with the tltleholdcr.
He has studied every move of Carpeutier in the movies and gives a perfect
impersonation of the challenger. Dempsey chased him around tho ring,
jabbing lightly, but making no attempt to put over a serious whack. He
evidently has been doing this for some time, for Renault had all kinds of
confidence and seemed willing to mix it
For two rounds he worked with Renault, and nfter that Bull Montannn,
the movie wrestler, put on his little stunt. Dempsey worked fat with him
for three minutes and that ended tne day's work.
"Dempsey Is In perfect physlral condition." remarked Jack Root. "He
faced four fresh men nnd his speed didn't diminish. This Is the first time I
vcr have seen a boxer work as well. He has a system of scientific training.
" A BOXER doesn't have to knock out sparring partners to show
he is in shape. You can tell more about him when ho goes on
the defensive and lets the other fellotct do the xcork."
Champion Is Kind to Mr. Herman Miller
THERE waj a touch of comedy in jt-t n' workout, which was held in
the presence of n big crowd. An asplung battler named Herman Miller,
who came from some place r-J wore a green shirt and red tights, boxed one
round with the charrrk -. " me rmson or other. He tried his best to win
the title, Inunchinc ".1 , 3"s from all directions, but failed dismally.
Dempsey stood li orf good-naturedly and allowed him to linger. Neither
was hurt after tho stanza.
Bull Montannn got himself Into ome trouble when he insisted that
Dempsey wrestle with him. Jack was ready to leave the ring after finishing
with Renault and was donning his sweater when the Bull stepped In.
"Got enough for today," said Jack shortly and started to leave the ring.
"What's the matter," demanded Montannn in a loud voice, "are you
afraid?"
Dempsey took off his sweater and leaped at the wrestler. They mixed
for a few seconds and Jack grabbed one of Bull's tin ears. Blood sturted to
flow and as he broke loose Jack tapped him playfully on tho chin and knocked
him cookoo. That ended the last tough session, which was pleasing to
Montannn.
There will be little work this week. Dempsey Is satisfied with his condi
tion nnd will take thing- easy. He wants peace and quiet and will deny him
relf from nil iMtors, if that can be done.
Betting Ik almost nt n .tandhtlll The odds nre 3 to 1, but nre likely to
go higher. Eerjbod believes that Dempsey is a clnrh.

SEVEN WINS OUT OF NINE
KrPn If It rlnPRn't. In t nnr Innnor.
I toral fandom can look bark on onct week
v imii u'miiivm ".J a.tiv H4V lllfllr vvrt
when our lowly Athletics, tired of being
trampled In the mire, rose up In their
wrath and won seven out of nine gnme.s
played, the best record made by n
Macklan team in many moons. Not
only that, but the longest winning
streak four In several seasons came
during the week. Starting with Cleve
land on June 18 the Athletics found
themsehes. The Indians were trounced
in the final game of the series. Then
nlong enme Washington nnd dropped '
three out of five scheduled games. Three
straight from Boston makes the spurt
look real.
The double triumph against the men
of Benntown Saturday was nil the more
remarkable when It is considered they
were meeting n fourth-place team that
has been a tho-n In the side of the
league leaders. Two of the bet pitchers
on the Red Sox "tnff succumbed In
Pennock nnd Bush Nine safeties were
registered againt the first former Ath
letic nnd seven against the bullet per
son. ,
The return of Rollle Naylor to the
pitching stnff nnd his auspicious start
gives tho Mackmcn four hitrlers who can
be called on in regular order, namely,
Harris, Hnst, Moore and Nnylor.
When Tinndsome Kddie Rommel gets
back to form, which is expected most
any day, Connie will have n staff of
twirlera second to none in Ban John
son's circuit.
The pitching problem is tho biggest
one Mack has had this season. The team
has been hitting well and fielding bril
liantly except In an odd game here and
there. Dugan's return to tho Infield,
with his batting eye, clear of the cinders
that made him look weak with the stick
for nearly n month, nnd .Iny Wnlkor's
remarkable playing nt first base just
about makes the infield. Jimmy Dykes
is rapidly developing into a star fielder
and hitter, while Galloway, once ho
finds his stride with the stick, will bal
ance the infield better than It has been
bnlanced sinco the Mclnnes, Collins,
Barry, Baker combination of $100,000
fame.
3H Games from Sixth Place
A glimpse at the standings in the
American League this morning reveals
the fact that the Macklets are just two
games behind Chicago in seventh place
and 2i2 behind St. Louis in sixth.
A continuation of the spurt of last
week will land the Mnckmen out of the
cellar In nnothcr week, nnd once they
get out. if the fans nre to be believed,
they will stay out.
Bill Barrett, the Cambridge, Mass.,
lnd who twirled the last inning of the
fifteen-Innings victory over Washing
ton last week, was presented with a
diamond ring by Mayor Quinn, of the
home town. A proud day for the
youngster.

Wolfe, the big southpaw secured by
Connie from Lebnnon Valley College,
was a much-sought-after oung man
Both tho Browns and the Yankees mad
him tempting offers, but Connie was
there first with nn even better one.
The Macklan scouts nre out in the
bushes again looking after material.
Lee Grcssett. an outfielder on the

who has a batting average of .32. has

U. S. ALL SQUARE NOW WITH
BRITONS IN OPEN GOLF TILT
We've Got Their Croivn and They've Got Ours, Yankees Per
formed Impressively at St. Andrew'' s, Leading All the Way
By SANDY
A LL square. Jock
Hutchison, of
Chieago, Is open champion of Great
Britain nnd Ted Ray, of England, Is
open champion of America.
The gloom that prevailed when Rny
and Vnrdon, between them, managed
to come through one of tb complctcst
fields that ever competed for tho United
States championship is now all for
gotten In the tremulous thrills that ran
through every good American golf fan
when Hutchison took the British crown
from the world's greatest golfers at
St. Andrews last week. In the play
off Wcthorcd, tho British amateur, had
a chance to pull a "Ouimet" but Jock
bent him 150 to 150.
It was the first time in the history of
the British classic that n resident of
the United States had captured tho
British open. Heretoforo no American
had ever finished better than fifth.
Indeed It bad always been rnthcr a sad
story and our failure looked to be
chronic, since the golfers in the blrth
placo of golf were supposed to surpass
ours by an overwhelming margin.
But this year for the first time wo
sent over a real invasion for the open,
feeling that where one or two might
fall, ten or n dozen would surely make
a showing. And they did.
The British open title was one
gonfalon on which the Britons had a
strangle hold, a monopolj. It was safe
in their hands for all time. They wor
ried not. Our efforts to win It had
brought nn indulgent smile underneath
because you can't hate any one for
trying.
I The Long Voyage
Now that that proud cup will shortl
be making the long voynge over tho
ocean, we wonder what they nre
thinking today abroad. No title Is safe
any more on either side of the water,
that's n ench
1 And the iniprebslve part of America's
win is the way It happened. Fiist,
Hutchison led tho qualifying round
after Charlie Hoffner, of Philadelphia,
! made the best score at St. Andrews the
I inst day. Jock broko the Eden course
I record the next with a 09, while
1 Barnes was breaking tho St. Andrews
, record with a 70 tho samo day.
Still were the Britons unperturbed.
I The figured the tide would turn in the
I medal rounds proper for the title, but
I it was America first In every round.
j Uutchifcon tied nt the end with young
j Rcxer Wcthorcd, Oxford captain nnd
Bntish amateur.
There are two traditions lately In tho
British event. One Is that an amateur
inn t w)i the title any more, and an
otl er Is that it can't bo won by an
.rsuler. So thut tie wbb another blow.
I nch hnd 20(1 strokes, nnd right
bark of them, 20, was young Tonimie
Kurigaii, an American homebred
George Duncan, deposed champion, was
tl ree htrokes worse, and the talent f
man lands was grouped next at .'(V.
Two Americans, Hngen and Barnes
were included. Willie Mclhorn, Huii
Paul Hunter, 307; Clarence Ilacknei
309; George McLean, Emmet Fiend,
nnd J. D. Edgar, 300, were all bunclnd
right In there. Charlie Hoffner, SIS,
l'red McLcod and John Burgess, 32o
were the only ones back in tho pack
and they were probably well Inside tl
first half of the eighty who qualified.
An how, we placed first, third nnd
two others in the monev. It was the
gicnteat triumph we have won nt golf
cud the onl thing Mint detracts iron
It the slightest Is that the jovial Jock
is not nn Anierieiin b birth.
But Kerrigan, with the second best
score, makes up for inost of that.

NEEDS A FRIEND
MrNIHLICK
I water. If an
American bov hnd cone
to England, played his golf thcro and
had applied for citizenship we certainly
wouldn't be particularly tickled If he
won tho British ' title. And so the
British must feel about Hutchison and
ho must have played against their sen
timent, an added strain.
Tho first remembered locally nbout
him wns before the war, when he came
down to Wilmington to compete the first
car in tho qualifying round for the
professional championship. He wns
then pro nt Allegheny and regarded as
a whia and a comer. He wns. He won
the Western last year nnd the profes
sional match play championship, ns well
as minor events, nnd wns within a
stroke of tying Rny nt Toledo. Jock
and Hngen were the last pair In. Every
body wns nt the last green. Hutchison
approached some thirty feet from the
pin and Hngen was on the far side.
Hagen dropped his from forty feet,
curling nil over the place. Jock left
Hagen's ball jn the hole for luck, but
tho best ho could do was lay his ball
alongside the cup in n tie for second
nlncc. He went abroad and made all
kinds of marks around Scotland this
winter, when it was predicted that if
lie came over again with the Americans
he would be the closest to the title.
But Jock came "cold to the trip,"
didn't want to go. He burnt up the
Southern courses nnd beat them all for
tho North and South title. Wns finally
persuaded to go back and help, and now
look what's happened.
The Tip
Which is a tip for Warren nnrdlng
or somebody to hurry up and push
through those citizen pupers, if it hasn't
already been done.
Jack McDermott, Philadelphia, wns
the first American home-bred to win
our open title, but when he went abroad
he got mixed up In steamships, they
say, arriving too late to qualify. The
next tr ho finished fifth. Jim Barnes
nnd Hagen went over la.st year. 'Barnes
was fifth, Hngen fifty-tir-t. That brief
pningruph is nbout nil the past records
hold for our achievement In the British
open up to 1021. Now thnt the thing's
been done, we'll probably mnko nn
ccn bolder bid next ear with an even
stouter team. After Kerrigan's great
showing they'll wnnt to go. Some of
our very best didn't this year, Leo
Digel, Jack Burke nnd such.
But Kerrigan, only twenty-six years
old, held up their honor. He wns raised
aronnd Boston In the enddy ranks. His
first job was assistant to Tom Me
Namnra nt Wollaston, from which he
went to the Dedham Polo nnd Country
flub, nnd thence to Siwnnoy, Mount
Vernon, N, Y., where he's been ever
hitice. He's never won a major title,
hut ho s right up there in the money
I many tlmei nnd they say you can play
him even ngalnst most of them. Hngen,
I Mclhorn, McLean, Hoffner and Fiench
I wi re other American-born contestants
I abroad, and they sure have something
to think about over there
' Though our ninntcurs fulled. Brltnin
I admits we liuvo tho class, and thej'vc
1 seen what our pros could do also. Not
I to mention Alexn Stirling, who lenves
there beaten but not unsung.
At nny rnte, winning u championship
In either country is going to be highly
intricate from now on.

CARPENTER READY
TO IWEETDEW1PSEY
Challenger Is Confident and
Determined on Winning
Heavyweight Title
IS KEPT INDOORS' BY RAIN
Manhasset, N. Y .Tune 27. Georges
Carpcnticr will j-o Into the ring at Jer
sey City next rjattlrday with only one
thing in mind, an Invlnclblo determina
tion to wrcet the world's championship
from Jack Dempsey. This wns tho
assertion todny of Otis Wilson, the
challenger's chief trainer.
"There will bo no snap for Jack
Dempsey," Wilson said. "Ho will have
to be more than a great fighter to beat
Gcorgcsi Never before In his fighting
career has Carpcnticr displayed such
determination ns ho does today. When
he talks of the fight ho grits his teeth
nnd clenches his lists nnd remarks, 'He
shall not beat me. Something tells me
that I can defeat him nnd I shall do It.
Ills hardest blows will not find ine, nnd
those that he lands I know I can
stnnd.' "
The challenger nttnehes n great deal
of sentiment to the hundreds of letters
he receives dolly from war veterans nnd
other Americans In nil walks of life.
"They want me to win." he said.
They expect mo to emerge from the
ring chnmplon, and I will not disappoint
incm lr every bone in my douj
broken."
Before Georiren enme fro America tMs
last time ho hnd, according to Wilson,
naturally a great desire to beat Demp
sey. But this" desire has increased to
such nn extent that now Carpcnticr can
not describe just what he fcclB.
"The Frenchman takeR a great deal
of Interest In the daily mail because he
likes to hear the many good things tho
American public has to sav about Mm,"
Trainer Wilson said. "He requires me
to read every one of them, nnd he Is
like a big boy in dlsplnylng his appre
ciation. Itcally, they have helped him.
strange as It may seem, to nttnin the
physical perfection you see In him to

of Whom Pick Frenchman to Whip Dempsey
By GKANTLA2TO BICE
" Tlfo Sfltiawk of the Veterans
iTartiiififjI, Napoleon, Cottar, Alexander,
Put th.e!r heads together in the mists tchero tKey abide.
Each ono in his era was a slugging double-hander,
Each one in hladay and time knew the highest tide.
"Wo thought we were pretty good double-fisted fighters,"
Oaesar said to Alex as he ashed him for a light.
"Xow too know as wonders we were merely pop-eyed blighters
Lined up with 'the endless space they've slipped the Coming' Fight."
Hannibal, Napoleon, Oaesar, Alexander,
Know at last how far they've slipped in the growing din.
Who is there to blame them if the edge is off their dander
As the endless columns on The Fight come rolling int
European Dodo Anrnt (he Melee
TX EUROPEAN in tho above hwirl
- lino we mr-nn Orrne Ttrttnti. .A
Irnnco. Just what Russia, Scandi
navia, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and
Poland think of the fight wo do not
know. In the main they nre too busy
with carnivals of their own to horn into
any outside pastures.
But for England nnd France wo can
speak with a fair amount of definite
assurance after n seven weeks' jaunt
through those two domains. England
gives Dempsey only a slight edgo, nl
1? .ns porpcntlcr n stout chance. By
isngland ve )ncnti the majority opinion
secured through countless opinions up
and down the line. France, of course,
can see only Cnrpcntler. Tho nvcragc
renr-hinnn knows nothing nbout Demp
sey s ability, but even with his vivid
Latin imagination he can't visualize
nny one good enough to flatten out tho
gallant Georges nnd leave him flutter
ing in the resin.
Cnrpcnfler's Chances Liked Abroad
pARPENTIER'S chances, among the
V lending boxing authorities abroad,
are extremely well liked.
The reasons for this feeling arc prac
tically as follows:
nFiirstJ hey nrc Krnt believers In
skill nnd science, nnd they hnve the Idea
thnt Cnrpcntler is the most skillful
noxer tho gnmo hns known for many
years.
Second. They know very little about
Dempsey. but have the idea thnt he is
merely a rugged slugger who can be hit
often by a fast man and who will have
troublo In hitting n scientific fighter.
Thcro you get the gist of It.
it you think one man is very good
nnd you know nothing of the other mnn.
y" K i trlilo Inclined to fnvor No. 1.
. If Dempsey is beaten It will be a
terrific surprise to most Americans who
have delved many fathoms Into the
situation.
If Carpentier wins it will be no great
surprise to Englnnd nnd France.
By Way of Illustration
TIERE'S the European angle by way
" Of illnstrntlnn. Wn . tnlL.1...
with nn old-time English fight fan who
nu niiiiivnn meet Mitchell.
A s,',van." He snld. "wns not only
n terrific hitter, but fnst nnd clever for
n big man In his prime, as he was then.
Mitchell, however, got nwny with
drnw by being faster and cleverer, nl
though not nenrlv the fighter thnt Sul
livan wur. And Mitchell wns not as fnst
nor ns clever ns Cnrpcntler is. Nor
could he hit nearly ns lmrd Mnt Amer
icans onlv remember Snllivnn ns ho
fought Corhett. But Sullivan then n
for past his prime, slow nnd unwieldy
compared with his finest fighting las.
The most dangerous combination In
boxing is speed and punching power.
The Frenchman has both."
From this ntmosphere upon nrrivlne
bnrk home, we stepped into n fnirly
widespread belief that it wns merely a
question as to whether Carpentier ro'iild
Inst two or four rounds, provided the
