Che Caspet Daily Cribune DEMPOEY 10 TRAINING FOR SPEED) Challenger Must Work Off 12 Pounds to Get In Pink for Title Fight; Champion Overcomes Effects of Altitude in Montana SHELBY, Mont., June 19.—(By The Associated Press) .— When Tom Gibbons, St. Paul challenger for the heavyweight championship faces Jack Dempsey in their title contest here July 4, he figures he will go into the ring weighing about 178 pounds, At present he tips the scales a shade above 190. If the challenger’s expectation ig fulfilled he will face a weight handicap of possibly 12 or 15 pounds, and will be about six pounds heavier than Carpentier when the French heavyweight managed to stay on his feet in front of Dempsey two years ago for four rounds. “The welght doesn't come off as fast as it always did before,” Git- bons sald today, “and I am glad of it. I want to keep as much weight as possible and still retain my speed.” Plans for a boxing show of three 1¢round bouts July 8 to initiate the new arena were announced today. Jimmy Delaney, St. Paul light MIDGET SMITH LEAVES FOR PUEBLO 10 MEET DENVER BANTAMWEIGHT Midget Smith, his manager, Harry Neary, and “Wild Jno” Reilly left last night for Pueblo where the Mid- get takes on Buddy Hamilton, Den- ver’s budding batamweight, tomorrow night. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds. Smith’s right hand is still giving him trouble but outside of that he is in goed condition. Hamilton has been coming to the front rapidly this win- tery under the tutelage of Sam Bux baum and is regarded as one of the best boys ever turned out of the Rocky Mountain region. Smith be- eves that he is meeting a much customer in Harailtom than ai@ in Puryear. The party will Frigey morning.

Advertisement Montana, July weight, and Jack Burke of Pitts- burg, one of Dempsey’s sparring Partners, probably will meet in the main event. Gibbons went through his after: noon workout yesterday with four sparring partners minus the head guard he has been wearing. He considers his present sparring mates sufficiently scientific end experienced to render unnecéssary the use of a head harness, and does not fear get- ting an injury that would be a tar- get for the champion’s blows. Delaney was whipping short lefts and body punches into the challeng er’s defense in their two rounds yes- terday, but Gibbons retaliated with a left hook and a flashing right cross. Delaney is fast and provides a shifty moving target. The fact that Gib- bons lands es frequently as he does against the contender for the light heavyweight crown is proof, the ex perts say, of his judgment of dis tance and his speed at this stage of his training. Mike Collins, who brought Demp- Sey and Gibbons together, said today that his connection with the fight has been in the role of matchmaker only, and that he has had no hand in the business management. When he has arranged the card of pre: Uminaries, he said, his work will be ended. DEMPSEY STICKS TO SPEED TRAINING GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 19— (By The Associated Press)—Develop- ing speed by boxing with lighter op- ponents will be the principal work in Jack] Demypsdy'’s training camp for the next few days, it was indi- cated today as a result of the length of time the champion boxed Billy Wells, British welterweight end Her- man Auerbach, Salt Lake City light- weight, yesterday. Auerbach, a son of Dempsey's first manager, knows something of the champion's hitting power as a result of his first clash with the titleholder. Démpsey socked him with a sharp cross yesterday and Auerbach's knees flew from under him as though he had touched a live wire. He jumped to his feet instantly, but the wallop had a discouraging effect and he spent the rest of the time trying to keep out of range. While boxing Wells Dempsey re- mained on the defensive, swaying his body in a crouching weave a» he stopped away from the punches aimed at him. The British welter, fast and elusive, piled into the cham- Pion, swinging his blows from every angle, When Wells became too en- ergetic, however Defnpsey made his head snap back with light left hooks and rights. Harry Drake, British light heavy- welght came in for his uswal pasting, going down and virtually out in the second round, from a smashing right to the chin. Dempsey, assisted by his brother, picked the outstretched Draake off the canvass and attempted to shake him into consciousness but Draake, who twice has been knocked out in a week, was still dazed when Jerry Luvadis, Dempsey’s trainer, mercifully yelled “time.” Although Dempsey did not attempt to uncork his full punching strength, he appeared to be faster yesterday than for several days. He declared the altitude no longer affected his breathing. Jack Kearns, the champion’s man- ‘ger, returned today from Shelby, where he assisted Dan Tracy, the new executive in charge of the July. 4 battle, in getting the working forces reorganized, Kearns was highly pleased with the start made by ‘Tracey, a long time friend.

Old timers who saw the battle said it reminded them of the passing of Battling Nelson, who was so game that he had to be counted out on his feet. Wilde kept pressing forward—on, on, throughout the fight. Wife was beaten when the third round be- gan and he was the loser the rest of the way but he didn’t seem to know it until he woke up.

Tommy | LATONIA DERBY TO BE CLASSIC Best of 3-Year-Olds to Compete in Great Race June 30 CINCINNATI, June 198. — While Latonia opened wite ita gates to the lovers of horse racing, June 5, yet the Latonia Derby, to be run here Saturday, June 30, is the outstanding race of the meeting, and admitted by all to be only second to the Kentucky Derby in point of interest. In fact many horsemen pronounce the La- tonfa classic as the real test of stamina and speed combined, for the race is a quarter of a mile longer than the Kentucky Derby. ‘The race is at a mile and a half, and will draw the very creacn of the three- year-olds of the west and probably a caneiderable number of eastern horses. ‘Those who were familiar with the beautiful Mildale course found many changes upon visiting the track this summer. The stewards’ stand has been moved from the outsi(e of the track to a position in the infield to give these officials an unobstructed view of the entire course. Another in- novation is the construction of a tunnel beneath the track near the paddock entrance, This was thought necessary as the old route from out side the track proper to the infield had @ tendency to wear a hard footpath across the track in the very middle of the stretch and it was known to have caused horses on several ooca- sions to lose their stride on hitting this hari surface. A number of new stables have been added and the track can now accom: moéate 1,200 hors omfortably.
