8 SPORTS. JACK TAKES ON SMALL, - LIGHT SPARRING MATES| TLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 17.—With Jack Dempsey back in his A training grind today, development of the champion's speed to match that of the crafty Georges Carpentier is the chief aim of his handlers. Dempsey will be called upon to do more boxing with smaller and lighter sparring partners as he advances into the final two weeks of training, and mauling with the heavyweights in camp will be gradually cut down. Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, means to bring some of the fastest middle and light heavyweights in the country into amp. Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh 170- ounder, who assisted Dempsey in raining for the match with Billy Miske in Benton Harbor last Labor day, probably will join the title- holder’s forces here next week. Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul middle- weight, and the Jamaica Kid also are slated as early replacements on the staff of sparring partners. Dempsey Resumes Boxing. Pempsey started in on the pro- gram to increase his speed yester- day, when he resumed boxing for the first time since his left eye was r|'ppe¢ open ten days ago. o in camp, he boxed two rounds each with Babe Herman, a shifty, hard- hitting featherweight, and Irish Patsy Cline. a lightweight. ' Both made Dempsey box with the speed of a lightweight. The cham- pion. who heretofore has boxed with no head protection whatever, wore # headgear yesterday. This was to protect the healing wound over his eye. He also wore a thick padding over the wound.

Dempsey Now Seeks to Develop Speed : Carpentier Has Demonstrated He Can “Take It” RECORD OF HIS CAREER PROVES RING COURAGE N sey, is one of the most unusual boxers who ever competed for the heavyweight championship. In temperament and intelligence there has been none like him among aspirants for heavyweight honors. He will be outweighed by Dempsey when they clash. Other physical measurements may also appear to be to the disadvantage of the French- man, but the essential item oi courage will not be included in these short- comings. Carpentier, born in the coal min- ing district ‘of Lens, France, fought of twelve years und through the va Tious weight classes, meeting the bes boxers of France, England and Amer: ica until he now stands near the pin nacle in pugilistic sport. Has Proved Ring Courage. A survey of the opponents Carpen- tier has met in the ring and sketches of several battles in which he revived from a count of nine to outpoint or knock out his rivals in subsequent rounds convinces one of his ring courage. He has fought among oth- ers, Joe Jeannette, Frank Klaus, Billy Papke, Jeff Smith, Harry Lewis, Bom- bardier Wells, Joe Beckett and Gun- boat Smith. ‘Some of them he met when a youth in his late ‘teens. His fights wtih Frank Klaus and Billy Papke when he.was only eighteen are declared to have been the most grilling in his career. In victory or defeat throughout his ring campalign, Carpentier has been guided by Fran- cois Descamps toward the heavy- welght championship goal, which he will_ endeavor to reach at Boyle's irty Acres, in Jersey City, on July The list of opponents Carpentier has met is more impressive than that of Jack Dempsey's rivals. In ring experience, Carpentier is by far the older. The first battle with Bombardier Weils, at Ghent, is declared to have been one of the most impressivé ex- hibitions of courage by the youn, Frenchman, who was outweighed many pounds. He took the count of nine in the first round, to come back and knock out his oppoment in the fourth: Before they met the second time, he predicted Wells might last one round, but the Englishman was knocked out in less than one minute. Harry Lewis, in tne fourth round of EW YORK, June 17.—Georges Carpentier, challenger of Jack Demp- gash under the eye. Carpentier came back to outpoint Lewis in twenty round: Wien he lost a fifteen-round de- n to Joe Jeannette, Carpentier sent to the mat two or thres times, but refused to stay, and drop- bed the negro twice for a count of nine. Brave Battlefield, Too. But this anomaly of the boming game has done his most important fighting outside the ropes. The cock- pit of an army combat plane has seen his most thrilling engagements and greatest demonstration of cou age. Cited for heroism several times in the world war, Carpentier wears the croix de guerre and the military medal, of all decorations the most prized by the French soldier. Comrades of Carpentier relate how they had watched him thousands of feet in the air attacking an enemy or swooping low over a boche camp or airdrome while German anti-air- craft guns tried to make a sieve of his plane. Often, they say, they mournfully uttered good-byes to the youth, only to see him a few minutes later climbing out of the ship wear- ing the smile that spectators at Jer- sey City undoubtedly will see when he enters the ring to meet Dempsey.
