Camp followers were of the opinion, however, that Dempsey already has ten days. if necessary, for the defense of his title. It also was generally accepted that the tenderness of the wound over his left eye is causing A rest completely, for he may not resume work until Wednesday.

Dempsey, who laia off Saturd: worked for thirty-five minujes yes- terday. only because he did not want to disappoint a big Sunday crowd which turned out. The champion went through the usual bag punching, shadow boxing and other exercises. He worked with astonishing speed and drive to his punches. Lew Tendler. the Philadelphia lightweight, saw Dempsey working for the first time yesterday, and was impressed with the champion's condi- tion. He predicted an early victory third round I'll be the most surprised man in the arena.” said Tendler.

The rest at camp was greeted with smiles by Dempsey's sparring part- ners, particularly Martin Burke, whose ears were injured again in his fight recently with Joe Downey at Columbus, Ohio. Burke plans a trip to New York to have the puffed ears lanced. - Jack McAuliffe, retired undefeated lightweight champion, was another camp visitor yesterday. He is an ardent Dempsey admirer. JEFF PUNISHED CORBETT Twice Dropped Former Champion to Floor Before Winning With Stomach Blow in Tenth. (Thia is the nf y series .n 2 = t previ ixhts for the vyweight champion- ship the world.) Jim Corbett's ambition continued to function long after Bob Fitzsim- mons took the heavyweight cham- pionship away from him. His desire to regain the lost laurels got him Into pecks of trouble, the trouble being furnished by James J. Jeftries. Jef- fries was the champion and Corbett, who had relinquished the honor six and a half years before, bucked up against tne batthing blacksmith with heavy odds akainst him. It was a onc-sided fight, staged in Mechanics’ Pavilion at San Francisco on August 14, 1903. Jeffries with his 225 pounds subdued his 185-pound ad- versary in the tenth round, the chal- lenger's second throwing the sponge into the ring while their hero was being counted out. Tt was not the first time Corbett had bowed before Jeffries. In the fourth round he was toppled to the flcor un- der an onslaught of rights and left: and again in the sixth there was contact between his kneey and the carpet for nine counts. The blow. which finally settled Cor- bett’s aspirations was a fearful one jammed against his stomach with tremendous force. There was much sympathy with Corbett's effort to come back. He haud been a popular champlion in spite of many reversals. In or out of the ring Corbett had an agreeable personality which won for him many friends and the well known title, “Gentleman Jim." K’ HANDS A FACTR Champion Never Has Had Trouble With Them—Toughened by Work in Mines. One of Champion Jack Dempeey's greatest assets in all his ring battles has been the condition of his hands. ‘The heavyweight titleholder never has trouble with them. When he en- ters a ring he knows that his hands will be able to iana crushing blows without breaking. p Dempsey has no particular method for hardening his hands. The hard, rough work he used to do in the mines probably helped toughen them, but they are naturally big, broad and strong. The skin on them is quite the same as a piece of shoe leather. ‘The titleholder takes particular pains to protect his hands even in training. He personally binds them with tire tape, and then wraps them with a felt bandage. one-inch wide. Over this Dempsey pulls on a pair of leather gloves. with the fingers cut off at the base of the hand. Unlike other champions. Dempsey bas never broken his hands in battle. —_— NEW GOLF BAG DEVISED. Can Be Opened to Full Length Like Valise—Pocket Improved. Golfers who in the past have been forced to shove shoes and clothes dqwn Into the narrow mouths of golf bags as they are made at the present time. will find relief in a novelty which has just made its appearance A device on the new bag enables the player to open up the bag to full length, like a long valise. A similar arrangement permits the golfer to open the ball pocket at full length and pick out any brand of ball he desires. ‘The opening and closing device con- sists of long metal strips which are closed by a small device which is pull- ed up or down, effectively closing the seam. The metal seam idea has been used previously on tobacco ounches, but its application to golf ags is @ new idea. BY FAl fight persists.

Kearns declared there was noth- ing'to it at all. “Why." said Kearns, “I saw two of them right here in Atlantic City the other day, and everything was as friendly as could be. There is no row and evervthing will be settled all right in good time." But Kearns has definite views about the sort of man the referee should be. He wants a man of experience and a man who likes to see a good fight without butting in every minute. May Name Dougherty. “It may be that I'll name Jimmy Dougherty as my best bet.” he as- serted. “But, anyway. what is wanted in the ring is a man who has as much at stake in the way of reputation as the fighters. That is. we want a man who has the name for being a square and efficient referee and who doesn't want to lose that name.

MANHASSET, N. Y. June 13.—De- termination is written in bold letters across Georges Carpentier's fighting face. As he prepares for the world championship battle with Jack Demp- sey the challenger's visage is being molded into the stern lines of the war- rior of old. Carpentier’s face is an interesting study. About the corners of his eyes are numerous laugh wrinkles that frown when he steps into the ring for a sparring session. Georges usually is smiling and laughing, but when he goes to work there is a remarkable change in his countenance. The shining teeth dis- appear behind an under-lip that is curled inward, the jaw drops an inch and the usually smooth forehead re- sembles a piece of corduroy. During these moments (eorges grits his teeth and his muscles grow | taut. In this manner he brings to| command all his punching power.
