Cltj f nil swept out, cleaned nntl proved, lex uicnari n nuiK iii-kcis
from nn Inexhaustible supply nnd the newspaper men how been banded their
duetts which will allow them to v,ork on July 2, but NOT for $500,000. All
that now remains Is for Jnrqucs nnd uoorges to oumD inrougn uie ropes,
settle their little affair nnd the mob will scatter with enough conversation to
Jnst n lifetime. , , , ..
The spectacle nnd that is the proper name for It will be uell worth
seeing. Perhaps the llfrht will be short nnd one man will outclass the other
hnraefully, but when n crowd like that gets together nnd pay more than n
million dollars for nn entertntnment which cannot possibly Inst more than
forty-eight minutes nnd probnbly forty-eight seconds, it's best to bo In the
nng nnd get nn cyefull. Never before hns so much money been spent, nnd it s
a cinch thnt there, never will be another finnncinl proposition like it.
All records alrendv have been broken In receipts, as it was announced
at Mndlson Square Garden yesterday thnt $900,000 worth f tickets had been
g&'d. This is nlmost twice ns much as the receipts at Toledo. It would not
bo at all surprising if half a million dollars raor wns taken in before the men
tapped Into the eighteen-foot ring.
No matter who wins, the fight will go down in history as the greatest
tct held nnd wltncsi-cd by the lrgen crowd. It also will be the last big
money fight held for some time.
"Never ngnin will boxers get such nn enormous purse," said n mnr. who
Is in n position to Luow. "The $."i00,000 hnnded to Dempsey nnd
Cnrpcntlcr breaks all records nnd c will not live to sec another even one
hnlf as large. This Is the crest of the finnnclal wave in boxing, nnd from now
on the fighters will receive old-time wages. There is too much uncertainty,
too much worry about an affair like this. It is the last big-money battle
that ever will be h-ld."
'
TF THE battle lasts tirelvc roundi, or thtrty-SiT minutes, uempsey
trill receive SS333 ner minute, or $138 per second. For the same

Dempscy-W illard Receipts Were a Record
rIE largest amount of money ever taken in nt an nthlcttc event was at
the Dempsey -Willnrd thing at Toledo, when some $452,000 trickled into
the box offices. Nobody ever expected to see so much coin of the realm ngnin,
but that wns n mistake Now look at the receipts.
Big crouds have attended football gamei at the Yale Honl. but the re
ceipts never were much over $200,000 World Series have been played nnd
stretched out to eight games, but the largest amount ever taken in was
$122,414. when the Cincinnati Red won n questionable decision over the
polled White Sox in 1010. Last year Brooklyn and Cleveland drew $."O4,S0O,
the next highest figure.
Rut it took eight days in each raw to get that much monev The chances
re that Rlckard will get more than n million in less than eight minutes.
And now for the attendance. It wns first announced that the stadium
would seat 50,000 ensh customers, but this was nn error. The t-eatlng capacity
Is said to be 01.613, nnd indications are that every sent will be filled. No
one knows how much the house will hold except Tex Rlckard. and Tex won't
tell. However, it will be plenty, and the promoter will not have to worry
in the future.
In Toledo the fight drew a trifle more than 10.000 paid admissions. This
was a terrible blow and really made the affair n bloomer. Rlcknrd went to
a, lot of expense nnd his profits were smnll. He went into It on a large
scale nnd made provisions to accommodate 04,000 guests. He had 45.000
seats at $10. 21.000 nt $15. 15.000 at $25, 2000 at $30, 3000 at $40, 3000
nt $50 and 5000 nt $00.
Rickard was very optimistic about this fight nnd wns positive he would
play to capacity. However, the railroads refused to send special trains nnd
traffic was tied up so that it was impossible to make the trip. That nlmost
ruined the show nnd socked the profits. There was ns much interest, if not
more, In the fuss than there is now, becnuse there was some doubt as to
the result.
HAD Iiickard packed the arena n Toledo he would have taken in
$1,800,000. He teas playing for high stakes and went flooie.
This time, however, it looks as if he had a winner.
Battle Will Be Fought Rain or Shine
THE stadium nt Jersey City Is almost completed. Carpenters were work
ing on It yesterdav and by tonight everything should be all et. The
bleachers are completed and nil thnt remains is to put In the $"0 chairs.
It is nn enormous place, which seems as large as the Yale Rowl. The
expensive seats extend almost half-way back and nre elevated. A row of $50
box seats ends that section, nntl then come the $40, $30 nnd the others. The
(5.50 section is far. FAR away, but one can see fairly well.
The. battle will be fought on Saturday regardless nf weather conditions.
Rain or shine. Dempsev nnd Carpentler will fight It nut. according to preent
plans. If min comes up, Rlckard will bnve some snwdut thrown in the ring
and it will bo cver man for blmself in the nrenn
Rain insurance has been taken out nnd both men nlso hnve been heavily
insured. If the participants are in shape on Saturday nnd escape injury,
Tex will be willing to RrM It out In a bllnard. Therefore it is best to pre
pare for all kindB of weather
There will be n Ms? mob at the fight. Bpcial trains will be run from
Philadelphia by Eddie Lewis and others, but every man will get his seat.
More than 1000 special policemen will be on the outside and as ninny more
inside. Ticket holders must t-how their pasteboards four blocks from the arena
before they can get through the lines
Rickard knows how to handle crowds. He has had more experience than
any other promoter with the Jeffries -Johnson, Oans-Nclson, Wlllard-Moran
nnd Dempsey -Wlllard fights. He does things on a big scale and the public
will be protected.
He has been promised help from the chief of police in Jersey City, nnd
that means something "Theru will be no roughing or jostling on Saturday,"
said the chief. "The man or woman coming to Jersey City to sec
the fight will be protected. There will be no long, disorderly lines. Traffic
wfll be kept moving. Cnrs will bo parked under competent police supervision.
There will bo no confusion."

A the chances arc there will be a lot of them on tale nt the nrena on Sat
urday. Thousands of the other tickets are available at box-office prices, and
those going to Jersey Tlty will not be disappointed
It must be rcmemhered thnt It "as reported thnt everv seat had been sold

MOVIE OF A MAN IDENTIFYING A BUNCH OF KEYS
COMPLETES HIS TRAINING
Atlantic City, N. .1., Juno 30. Jack
Dempsey wnnts his contest with
Georges Cnrpcntlcr to end decisively,
with either himself or Cnrpcntlcr
strctrhed ou the floor of the ring, If
possible, before the twelve rounds hnve
been fought out nt Uoylc's thirty ncres
in Jersey City, Saturday afternoon.
The world s heavyweight champion
declared himself in this regard todny
when he mid Mint he did not wnnt n
towel thrown in ns nn ncknowledgment
of defent. A championship contest, he
snlu, should be nlloucri to go to n
knockout without regnrd to the battered
or helpless condition of either contest
ant, Dempsey nlso Is opposed to hav
ing a contest stopped by the referee.
"The best way to stop n fight to suit
everybody is to knock the other mnn
stiff," Dempsey snid. "Then there Is
no chance for argument; I don't wnnt
Cnrnentier's men to throw in a towel.
I know when it comes my turn to 'tnkc
it' they are not going to throw nny
towel in for me. I will keep on fight
ing until I am counted out.
"Nobody is licked until he Is counted
out. If a lighter gets ehlekenhearted
and doesn't put over the winning sock
when his opponent is dazed nnd wob
bling, be might get knocked out himself
by a wild, desperate swing. Such
things have happened."
With ten long weeks of training be
hind hini, Dempsey todny Is through
with hard work until n now pair of
eight-ounce gloves nro tied on his
wrlhts to defend his chnmpionship Sat
urday afternoon.
The champiou completod his training
yesterday, but he loosen up his
muscles on the punching bng this aft
ernoon and again tomorrow before he
is scheduled to leavo for Jersev City.
He expects to take off two pounds bv
tomorrow night, so as to bring his
weight down to 100 pounds, the figure
he plans to bcalo at ringtlme. He
weighed 102 pounds before his finnl
workout esterdny. The hour of Demp
sey's departure Is a guarded secret in
the champion's enmp. Manager Juuk

would leave hero tomorrow afternoon

The champion worked for about fifUen
rounds, first on tho pulleys for three
minutes nnd then a round of shadow

Larry Williams, the onlv sparring part

and permitted Williams to rougn him up
a bit while they were tearing in close.
The champion displayed enough to
convince experts that he had plenty
of re.vrve ir power and plenty of speed.

Challenger Will Only Engage in
Gym Work to Keep Him
on Edge I
HIS CONFIDENCE UNSHAKEN
Manhassct. L. I., June 30. Georges
Cnrpcntlcr hns completed his rcnl train
ing for the world's henvyweight title
clnsh ngalnst Chnmpion Jnck Dempsey
In the arena on Uoylc's Thirty-three
Acres, Jersey City, Saturday after
noon. The French henvyweight, for the two
remninlng days of his enmp life, will
engage in only slight gymnasium work
anil cniisttienlc exercises, under n
schedule calculated to keep him on
edge.
On Saturdny Cnrpentlcr will do no
work. He will, nccordlng to present
plans, lounge about the Matthews Farm
until the start is made for Jersey City
nnd what fate has in store for him.
Just how he will make the journey to
the arena is not known.
It has not been definitely decided,
nnd probably will not be until today,
when the camp "family" gathers In n
council arranged for the purpose of de
termining battle plans. What plans
will be followed during the battle are
strictly the property of Manngcr
Francois Dcscnmp nnd Europe's
heavyweight chnmpion.
The ehnllcnger boxed four rounds ns
part of his final training fling. This, of
course, was his most important activity.
He also Jogged, walked nnd sprinted
over the roads of Nassau County for
approximately on hour and a quarter In
the morning. His boxing was done in
the open-nlr ring back of the big barn,
and wns preceded by punching-bng nc
tivity. and followed by shndow boxing,
rope eklpning nnd floor calisthenics. All
told, tie devoted about two Hours nnu n
half to tho day's training events.
Wlien he had concluded his schedule
Carpentler was feeling in excellent
spirits and wns absolutely satisfied with
his condition, ne still has thnt su
preme, smiling, unshaken confidence
which has characterized his later days
In training.
No information was vouchsafed on
the names of Cnrpentiar's partners In
the closing ring workout or the number
of them either, for that matter Tn
fact, in keeping with the sevorc privacy
and secrecy of the camp, attempts to
procure the desired Information were
discouraged with tho simple statement
by Trainer Wilson that "we ennnot

CARPENTER MAY MAKE
FIGHT TRIP BY WATER
Challenger Considering Advisa
bility of Traveling to Jersey
City in Yacht
Now York, June .10. Georges Car
pentler probably will make the trip to
Jersey City Saturday afternoon by
water. It developed today that the
challenger is considering the advisa
bility of Journeying to his trysting place
with Champion Jnck Dempsey In a
yacht. Manager Francois Descnmps di
vulged this probability in a conference
with Promoter Tex Rickard at Madi
son Square Garden.
The challenger is devising ways and
means of getting Georges into the bat
tle center In the quietest possible man
ner. Just two ways arc available for
the French henvyweight. He must
either motor to Uoylc's Thirty Acres or
lournoy to Jersey City by water, land
ing from the yacht at a point where an
nuto will bo waiting.
Just what medium of trnnsportntlon
will be used is not yet determined. The
enmp attendants and Mannger Des
camps ore eager to avoid the crowd
which would follow by auto, and yet
want to eliminnte nny dnngnr of dc'lnv

Carpentler has been cruising about

Wnt0 lor vatahioua E U.
N'cw York, Tune .10. With the ap
proach of the date of the hie bout, bct
tlnff' on tho outcome Is bcglnnlnpj to
plpk up. This Is due chiefly to the fact
that more Carpentler money Is In evi
dence nnd that the backers of the chal
lenger arc showing an Inclination to ac
cept quotations of 3, 3 nnd even 2 to
1 for their coin.
In Wall Street it was reported today
that more actual wagers and fewer
mind bets had been made than for some
time previously. Although Dempsey
money was still greatly In excess of
that offered in support of his opponent,
the supporters of the American were
still inclined to hold off.
Now that Carpentler cash li becoming
more plentiful, the backers of Dempsey
evidently believe that tho odds will be
come still shorter today nnd tomorrow.
It is predicted by some that the pre
vailing quotation on Saturday morning
will be 2 to 1.
For this reason the supporters of the
champion were inclined to try to place
their money on the number of. rounds
It would take Dempsey to scoro a
knockout. It wns reported that, while
some bets were made on one or the
other of the men winning. It wns stipu
lated that If the bout went the full
twelve rounds and both boxers were still
on their feet nt the finish, .the bets
should be declared off. I'ndcr theie
conditions the wagers were mode on the
bout terminating In a knockout, bv a
foul being committed or a disqualifica
tion for Korae cause or other.
Even though betting In the financial
district Is becoming more brisk the
amount thus far at stake Is still far
below earlier estimates and greatly
under the sums that are usually wagered
on sporting events of such magnitude.
According to one of the lending authori
ties on tho subject, a man who Is In a
position to know whereof he spenKs,
the sum total of tho money now In the
hnnds of Wnll Street stakeholders does
not exceed $250,000, In the past U has
been no uncommon thing for stake
holders In the financial district to hold
ns much as half a million or a million
and even more In wagers on a great
sporting event.
