SPORTS Dempsey Gets Cranky : GROUCH SEEN AS SIGN OF HIS GOOD CONDITION ATLAXTIC CITY, N. J,, June 14—The “no training” sign probably will remain hung up at Jack Dempsey’s camp until Thursday or ! Friday, according to indications today, when the world heavy- weight champion will swing back into his conditioning grind with the prospects of resuming boxing along with the other gymnasium routine. Until Dempsey takes up the full training program again che public will be denied admittance to the camp. Dempsey explusined the mystery concerning his lay-off by saying that he was so thoroughly satisfied with his condition that he thought a lay-off of three or four days would do him good. He appeared to be amused at reports that the camp had been closed to the public so he could engage in secret training. “1 don’t know where they get the| idea of this secrecy thing,” the cham- at all this week, much less secret training.

CARP’S SIZE AND SKILL SURPRISE THE EXPERTS ¥ BY FAIRPLAY. MANHASSET, L. I, June 14—Several fight experts who have been sticking close to Jack Dempsey throughout his training period thus far, left Atlantic City yesterday and came down to this rural community to look over Carpentier. They looked with bulging, glassy eyes as Carpentier worked out against Marcel Denis, a French light- weight, new to the camp; Paul Journee and Italian Joe Gans. After the boxing they announced that they had been disappointed. Carpentier is bigger and better and stronger and cleverer than they thought he was.

ANHASSET, N. Y, June 14— Georges Carpentier when he meets Jack Dempsey, July 2, expects to land the first telling punch. In a conversation today with his friend and adviser, Capt. Malleu,. he said that he would drop Dempsey if the latter made one s.ingie nis- take. | “The challenge said, not afraid, and thinks that he has better than an even chance to win. Ii willingness, a clear eye and 2 deadly right hand, coupled } with speed and endurance, can win, Georges thinks, he will be the world champion.” “He real the best ma Capt.
