FIGHTERS Lighter Mitts New Jersey Less Danger of Cuttii Knock-Out Chances ) No Dispute Ove . - 4 By ROBERT EDGRE*. THURSDAY. June 10. ? A heavy ralf In New Jersey. starting yesterday and lasting through today, baa worried holders of fight ticket*, but" the weather sharps say the downfall was the best thing that could hare happened to Insure fair weather on Saturday. For the week the air has been supercharged with moMture. and the heat has been terrific. The fighters have had no trouble In getting up the free flow ef perspiration supposed to be essentlal to good condition and everyone else hu lost enough weight to make the huge ?tands at Boyle's forty acres safe for democracy. The builfiers, however are not counting on a light-weight crowd. They have tested the stands by piling up empty hogsheads .on the high points and filling them with water to get a pressure many times the weight of ipy mass of spectators. As for the possible chance of rain on -the bout nothing short of a cloudburst can cause a postponement and that only If it starts In the morning and continues through the day. In case of Impossible weither the bout would be held Monday July 4 instead of Saturday. In case of rain during the bouts the ring will be covered with a high canopy that won't Interfere with the view. This is necessary to provide a dry footing for the boxers. Carpentier's fast footwork would be of little use on a slippery ring* covering and Dempney isn't so low himself that he would get any advantage through having a skiddy floor under him. !? Kick Ove* Ring. The tales about Carpentler Insisting upon a 24-foot ring have been exaggerated by at least four feet. Carpentler did tell Descamps that he would like to have 20 feet to cavort in. but he wasn't very Insistent. and when Descamps looked the ring over and found it satisfactory Carpentler withdrew any objection. As a matter of fact the 24-foot ring is an ana?irnnism It Isn't used any more, and hasn't been used for many years. All of the championship bouts promoted by Tex Rickard have been decided In lS-foot rings, and the New Jersey boxing rules provide for a ring not more-then 20 nor less than 18 feet In size. In the contract both boxers |*reed to abide by local regula Inn. should the bout be held where the Ins: rules conflicted with the orig*r?l agreement. Rickard Is suro**o have a eultable ring In any case. *J-he new ring platform built espeWuly for this bout is 22 feet from^edge to edge, and the ropes can adjusted to a safe distance fron??Ttie posts. 4V,Cee Elght-onnee Cloves.

(Copyright, 1M1, by UatUd Xaws.) with heavy wrists and forearms developed out of proportion to the rest of his anatomy, give Carpentier much of his hitting power. Like Dempsey. Carpentier has never broken or buckled his sturdy hands in a fight. One o{ the most amusing things connected with this bout are tn? rumors circulated everywhere. One of these is that Jimmy DeForest, who trained Dempsey for the fight with Willard, says Jack had "an iron bar" in each glove, thus explaining the terrific effect of his punches when he knocked the gigantic Willard down. De"Fores: may have said that Dempseys hands were like iron?which isn't far from the truth, especially when they are well pickled by rubbing with brine for a month before a bout. Manager Descamps heard the tale of the two iron bars, and hiked over to New York to see Rickard about it. Descamps says that ne doesn't want any "trick*- pulled, md that nothing of a "foxy" nature will be attempted by the Carpenier side of the argument. Rickard assured him that everything would be on the up and up. By this time the "iron bar" 'stdry?is^ probably arousing indignation la France, adding a fill-up to the tale that [Georges is to be forced to figbi in ! a small ring where he won'; ha?-* foot room. Odds Still Favor Jack. As for the "iron bar" stuff, both Dempsey and Willard entered the ring with hands soft-taped, and ' tape and gloves were carefully inspected by the referee, who inspected and supervised tne putting i on of the gloves, assisted in each case by men from the opposite corner. The only thing ll^-Dempney'S gloves was a set of big. hard knuckles. There js very little betting?less than. on any championship bout I have ever seen. Even Bernard Shaw's announcement that everyone knows Carpentier oiifht to be a iO-to-1 favorite, and that all American sporting writers are boosting Dempsey to help the odds when they bet on Carpentier, 'hasn't loosened up the Carpentier kale. The public likes Carpentier, and everyone wants to see him have a perfectly fair chance to take the title home if he's able to. He may surprise the world by knocking Dempsey out. There's a chance of it. But the probabilities favor the American champion. His record in the ring, a long list of one-round knockouts with no reverse, since he was a mere jiovice. is rather imposing when compared to that of Carpentier. "As for the English heavyweight champions Carp?ntier has whipped. they have also been >eaten by Frank Moran. who is so far from being in Dempsey's class that a Dempsey-Moran match would be laughed at in this country. .; Another thing that makes this a match is that Dempsey has not shown the form he displayed 'at Toledo. He is bigger, and he looks better, but he is undeniably slower. When he woa the championship he had gone through hard years, with ring engagements nearly every week, plain food, much hard work, and little luxury. Now he has had two years of soft living, punctuated only by two bouts and a fair amount of training in gymnasiums. Still, Dempsey is a great fighter; antf as for soft living. I haven't seen Georges Carpentier doing much work with a pick and shovel, either. ^ * CLEARANCE OFFERi Beach Suits fc,."d $13.76 air Suits $14.95 ion Suits 85c Flannel Trousers White or Striped $7.50 Its, $1.75 ^TWNG CO. it.

They are as authentic as one of his own right crosses to the Jaw, and there are men of might still living who can tell you how real they fcre. They are the outstandin? things he said to me during hou*s of conversation. Some of them he said when he was bored and I grumpy; some of them Just after | dinner when he was feeling at his | best.

Jack's Smile Shows No Joy Champion Believes Car pentier Will Be Tough Opponent. ny WKSTnROOK PfCGI.KH. ATLANTIC CITY. June 30 ?Jack ; Dempsey seems to have the blue j jimmies from thinking about the I Saturday date of his to flght a i friend in Jersey City. His smile! is an amicable fraud like the paster] cupids and art doodads over the doors of the gimcrack joint# along the Boardwalk. Thia fellow needs jthe action of pitch and catch with Georges Carpentier to get his thoughts off hia mind. The camp is full of spooks now that most of the fleld hands have turned in their time and hit the grit for Jersey City, some with employees' passes to the light and others with nothing but the sublime and illimitable gall of training camp roustabouts. Their late quarters in the big house next door, to the sunblistered. ugly dwelling, where Dempsey sleeps for the last' time tonight, are now deserted. Except for half a dozen really intimate friends of Dempsey, this cleared out jtfie place, making It lonely enough withoul the further gloom of a rain that came up just after noon and soused the vicinage. Dempsey was moping indoors with his friend, Mik? Trant, the Chicago policeman, during the afternoont peering out through the drizzle and just wondering about what is to happen Saturday afternoon, when far down the road there appeared a speck which developed -into a wheelchair pushed by a diminutive negro and containing a #ross quarter ton of Chicago politicians, come out to shake Jack's hands because their excursion ticket explicitly called for a stop-over here to meet the champion. There was talk of chartering the chair for the return trip to Chleago, but the chauffeur dumped his passengers at Dempsey's gate. Dempsey was hauled out onto the porch to shake hands and talk flght and laugh at the funny jokes of fifty strangers?all in a mechanical, got-to-be-polite way that he has mastered as part of his liberal education since becoming champion. There was to'have been a little workout this afternoon, but Jack Kearns made Dempsey pass it up IR'cauee of the rain. All he did was take a short walk with/ Trant in the morning and crank his phonograph to play the camp hymn. "Lead Kindly Light." Dempsey isn't the happy individual that played mush-ball with the show girls* ball team on the sand dunes here three weeka ago. , He's thinking about that flght and It'a plain that whatever the betting odds may be.

Jack Worried By War Record Public Opinion Injures The Champion's Chances. CONTINUED r*OM TAG! OX*. million* more of Americans blame Dempsey bitterly f#r not having fought in the war,"and In consequence are rooting savagely for Carpentler, whose war record w good, to knock him out. Public OptalM Powerful# What of It? you ask. Perhaps nothing Perhaps much. The scoffers say that that will not soften the blow* that will be rained upon Carpentler'* slender frame. Msybe the scoffers are right. Maybe, again, they are all wrong. Absolutely wrong It Is on the cards of record that no man has a* yet successfully prevailed against the weight of public opinion. In other words, no man in public Iffe succeeds for long unless the public is for him. Jack Johnson is an example. Public opinion was unfavorable to Jack Johnson. It did not prevent him kfrom whipping Jeffries in the ring at Reno, but It did make him an exile and bring him finally to book in the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. It is trtie that Johnson was proven guilty of a certain crime. Can It bf believed by any one conversant with the pugilistic woild that other fighters have not been guilty of the same offense without having been prosecuted? Hardly, if public opinion had not decreed thumbs down on Johnson, the chances are that his offense would never have been noted. Rut public opinion was against him. and it crushed him to earth. Jeffrie*' Nerve* Demoralised. Public opinion operated In a uifferent way against Jeffries. The public was for Jeffries. Practically all the white people In the United States were rooting for him to beat the big black. It was too much for the white man. He felt the weight of the trust reposed in him so heavily that his nerves went all to smash, and he entered the ring a helpless shell of a man. strong and rugged enough In appearance, but helpless because the brain that was to direct the great muscles was paralysed from worry and unable to function. Without the direction of that brain, of what avail were the mighty muscles? Dempsey, then. Is not a thickskinned man. His hide is not that of a rhinoceros. He feels keenly the criticism that has been aimed at him. Meeting Dempsey for the first time, the average person, no matter how much prejudiced he may be against him. is aware of a rush of sympathy for the big fellow. lie is ooylsh. modest and likeable^ 'Ae wet of a man wko vulues friends and puts much *:re~? c#* the ^ood opinion of his public. It is known that he deeply regrets not having gone to war when the going was flood. He has told close friends that hf wanted to go; that he wanted to joks the marines; that advisers talker him out of it. and that he has since 'calised that by not getting into ofti'orm he committed a blunder that tfr can never undo. PMnlble Renslt Problematical. *?* has been worried and hurt by the 'ri.icism directed against him. When he goes into the ring In Jersey City he will face a huge crowd of his countrymen, many of whom will be rooting for the Frenchman, j He will be a man fighting in his country for the retention of the heavyweight crown In America and without the undivided support of the spectators. What effect will It have on him? Perhaps none. Perhaps ? great deal. What effect has it already had on him. Again perhaps x none. And again probably a good deal. It has been noted by thos# acquainted with him that Jack is deeply worried about sometning. Some of His intimates believe that the matter preying on his mind is his war record. Whether he was mor- i ally as guiltless of slackerlsm as he j had been demonstrated to be legally I clear in the matter, the fact remains j that public opinion is against him; that public opinion is a thing that matters a great deal to him. and that things that matter, preying on the mind of an athlete, have a direct paralysing effect on the might* muscles that are no more than sodden helples clay when the directing mind is not at ease. Carpentler is ready and calm. H* thinks he can win. There are few Americans who share his hope of victory, and yet there are many who hope that his hope is legitimate. "Big Smoke" to Re-Enter Ring Ex-Champion to Challenge Winner of July 2 Battle. LEAVENWORTH. K?i. June SO.? A challenge to the winner of the Dampsey-Carpentler fight will be offered from the ringside In Jersey City on behalf of .Jack Johnson, negro, former heavyweight champion, who will leave the Federal prison here July 9.

Johnson In Issuing the challenge on the black's behalf, and Johnson has ^ accepted Myers' oter. It was stated. Johnson has been training ever since he began his term here In connection with a Mann act conviction. He had planned to stage a f fight tha night of July 9 here, but local opposition prevented it.
