Famous Conditioner, of Bogers. and J Dempsey's Former Trame: (Copyright. 3027 n all countries Ty 3 Kmetican Newspaper Alliance.) HICAGO, September 13.—After looking at Jack Dempsey for some time in his training here, and seeing him play golf and take other recreation in the midst of what ought to be an in- tensive grind for his battle with Gene Tunney, 1 am forced to agree with him that it is not what either he or Tunney does In the training camp. but what they will do in the ring on the night of September 22 that will win or lose the fight. That's the truth. But then, what they do in training will have a direct bearing on what they do in the ring. or_what they fail to do. Dempsey doesn't look so good in training here. He looked better two weeks ago. It's all very well for you to say: “Oh, well. Dempsey never did Jook very showy in training.” I hear @ lot of people saving that. But don't forget, I trained Jack Dempsey for the fight in which he won his title. T know how he looked in those days, and I wasn't looking at him through any rose-colored glasses. either. I Mavbe he didn't look very “showy, but he certainly looked effectiv When he socked sparring partners— men with whom none of his present mates could have lasted a they stayed socked. They went down and out. Then it was news it Dempsev didn’t drop his man. Now its news if he does. Marked by Sparring Partners. One of the things that makes Demp- gey look bad to me is that he is hit so much by his sparrine partners that his face appears swollen. That's not jike Dempsey. He seems to be hard- ening up some. but there still is room for improvement. Dempsey’s legs, the legs that have carried h “ihrough so often when he needed them. look good now. For some time in his early training they @idn’t impress me as being as depend- able as of old, but they seem to be ©. K. now. Dempsey has been taking good care of them. 1 know this fellow like a book, and he's not showing us all he can do, It's tvpical of Jack not to cut loose any more until he gets into the ring for his fight. He's gotterf wisdom with ad- vancing years, and now he saves his fizht for the fight. He is doing workouts in the other ring that was pitched for him out at the track and so is getting in more work than the general public knows about, This is the way he always does. I've told about this so_often in writing about this training routine in other recent fights that it's an dI¢ story to me. T'm taking those workouts Into con- sileration when I give my opinion about the former champion's condi- tion. It isn't how much I see him €o in the ring so much as it is how he does it that counts with me. Fat About the Waist. Dempsey still carries aibit of fat around the sides of his walst.” He's been working to get this off, but it seems slow to leave him. I don't think he need worry particularly about getting this off. It's his legs and arms that must be in shape, also his wind. That little bit of fat that still lingers never will leave him now, no matter how much work he does. It's old nature’s mark put there to show ;:he world Dempsey, no longer is a id. I asked Jack if his nose bothered him now when he was fighting, but he declared that it didn’t. I noticed his snerting & tew times in hia work- outs. “Jimmy, I don't know I've got a nose,” he laughed. “Well, Jack,” I told him, “some of your sparring partners seem to have o trouble finding it,” I grinned. “Yeah?" said Dempsey. “Well, so long as Tunney keeps shooting at it I won't mind a bit. Nobody's going to knock me out with a punch in the nose. And while he's shooting at the beak that'll lesva a few openln‘u for ©ld Ironsides.” And Dempsey looked af!emonamy @t his left mauler. - Dempsey has -Just ‘about a_week left to get into trim for ‘the fight. He can do it, no doubt, byt he needs care- ful work and the right kind. This coming week will give us the answer whether Dempsey tome back far enough to win back his title. DEMPSEY’S MOTHER WILL SEE CONTEST By Ly Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, September 15.— Satisfied that her son Jack Dempsey is “getting along all right” at Chi- cago, Mrs. Celia Dempsey today ap- parently was chiefly concerned about securing a ringside seat from which to watch him fight Gene Tunney. “It will be the first championship fight 1 have seen my boy appear in,” she said on her arrival here last night by automobile from Salt Lake City. - Mrs. Dempsey said she called Jack by long-distance telephone and he told her everything was going all right at Chicago. “He is not one to worry, but I'll feel better when I am there to_see for myself,” she concluded. Mrs. Dempsev was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Stoltz, friends from Salt Lake City. They plan to leave here toda ror St. Louis. TUNNEY PASSES UP RACES. CHICAGO, September 15 ().—A Gene Tunney Handicap will be on the Washington Park race program Satur- day, but the champion notified C. WW.

JACK NOW SORRY HE DELAYED FIGHT Dempsey So Near Top Form Training Is Proceeding at Only Half Speed. I L voted against fighting Gene Tunney September 15, insisting on September 22 as the earliest date he would be ready. For Dempsey today, by his own and Manaegr Leo Flynn's statements, is at top form. Dempsey’s last full workout, against flve sparring part- ners Tuesday night, satisfled his handlers that he is the same scowling, merciless Neanderthaler of old. Jack has been in Chicago a month today, and in training most of that time, with the Sharkey training and fight hardly two months back. He is so near the peak today that his training has been proceeding at only half speed. He did nothing at all yesterday but attend the Washington Park races, to watch the running of the Jack Dempsey Handicap, returning soon afterward to his camp, Two more ring workouts are planned by Man. ager Flynn, but they probably will be in secret, despite the loud complaints of newspaper men to Promoter Tex Rickard. Wife Is His Chaperon. Manager Flynn turned over his duties as choperon of the former champion to Mrs. Estelle Taylor Dempsey for the visit to the race track. There, it developed, Jack had come with but 50 cents in his trous- ers, and so he had to borrow from Godfrey, Associated Press. NCOLN FIELDS. CRETE, I, September 15.—Jack Dempsey is somewhat sorry now that he HEAT AND HUMDITY HIS TOUGHEST FOES: Gene Now Weighs About 190 and Begrudges Poundage He Will Lose. By the Associated Press. AKE VILA, IIL, September 15.— Heat and humidity, the two “toughest” opponents Gene ‘Tunney has had to face in the Midwest, were ready for a real assault on the heavyweight champion today. Tor three straight days Gene has evaded the heat wave by training with society friends at Lake Forest, on Lake Michigan. But the short set of shadow boxing and road werk that Tunney was able to sandwich in between so- cial engagements gave way today to a program which called for six rounds of boxing with three sparring partners and several rounds of bag punching, and the heat continued. Gene had dodged the heavy training grind for the past few days in the be- lief that the loss in weight under the bolling sun and the drain in nervous energy due to the humidity did not off- set whatever good might come of short boxing drills. The champion says he is ready for the fight of his lite—what is more, that he was ready when he left Speculator, N. Y., for the Midwest after five months of careful work in the Adirondack Mountains. Now Weighs About 190. Weighing about 190 pounds, Gene begrudges the three or four pounds that are bound to melt away in the heat. Despite the hot spell. however. Tunney will box again on Friday and Saturday before quitting the training Monday he plans to return to Lake Forest to rest until leaving for Soldier Field and the title test against Jack Dempsey a week from today. Tunney did not intend to don gloves today until after 4 p.m., in an effort to dodge the strongest of the sun's rays. Since taking up quarters at the Ce- dar Crest Country Club here Septem- ber 2, Tunney has boxed only five times. principally because of high tem- perature Undisturbed by a working average of but little over .332, the title holder has spent the remainder of the time visiting with friends, reading with his pal and tutor, Eddie Eagan, or chas- ing golf balls on nearby sun-baked fairways. Rarely in his conversation does Gene touch upon the coming spectacle. GLOVES IN BIG FIGHT his wife to make a wager on the first race. It was reported that he won $423.75 on the victory of Nellie Wood, and put $200 of it back on Chicago, winner of the Jack Dempsey Handi. cap, which paid only 74 cents on the dollar. The name of George Lytton, mil. lionaire State street clothing mer- chant, was mentioned to Dempsey as one being urged for the pesition of referee for the Soldier Field battle. Lytton was once an amateur boxer himself, and has officiated in many amateur bouts, but never at a pro- fessional boxing match.' “I've never seen Mr. Lytton work," Jack said. “But it i{s a cinch he would not be performing for any syndicate of' Eastern gamblers, which makes him O.

NEW YORK, September 15.—Inter- national polo supremacy rests in the United States until 1930, A courage- ous comeback by the British challeng- ing team fell short of its objective yesterday at the Meadowbrook Club, and America’s big four dashed off with its second straight victory, this time by a acore of 8 to 5. With a revamped line-up the in- vaders strove to atone for their 133 defeat in the first match. For the last seven chukkers they matched goal for goal with the veteran Yankees, and it was only because of a first-period salvo of three goals by Tommy Hitcheock, the brilllant Ameri- can forward, that the defenders were able to conclude the serles without {the necessity of a third game. Plays Brilliantly. Hitcheock's whirlwind start was just a bit too much for the British to off- set, but in the face of a powerful American defense they carried the at- tack throughout the last half of the match. Once in the seventh chukker they were within two goals of tying the score. That was the high-water mark of their bid, Capt. John Dening emerging from a scrimmage and sweeping the ball through a cluster of players for a difficult goal. As in the opening match the British were outridden, but the margin was far slighter this time. The foreign drive was slow to get in motion and it was not until the fourth period that it began to materialize. Then Capt. Roark and Maj. Atkinson scored in succession. At the half-way mark the Americans led, 5-2. Hitchcock and Devereux Milburn, invincible in the opening match, miss- ed at times yesterday. Stevenson, after his phenomenal getaway, in which he scored two of his goals in less than a minute of actual play, flashed only occasionally.

Milburn was as impenetrable as ever on defense, but his all-around play lacked just a little of the fire and dash of last Saturday. Malcolm Stevenson played a mighty role in the defense of the home forces yesterday, shifting quickly and breaking up any number of enemy formations with his daring riding and ability to “mix it.” George Plays Strongly. Capt. George, a replacement at No. 1 for the British, gave Milburn a ruz- ged battle and scored two of his team's goals. Atkinson proved to be a big cog in the British defense and his ability to reach the scene of contact helped set their attack in motion quickly, The margin of America’s victory yesterday was the closest it has been held to in international cup play. In the 1924 series the same big four won by scores of 16-5 and 14-5. Yesterday's triumph was the sixth for the United States in the last seven series. In the 41 years of British-American rivalry the United States has won six_ victories to three by Great Britain. Milburn has taken part in the last seven series and never has been replaced in a single game. Hitchcock has played on three win- ning teams in succession from 1921 on. Webb also has been in the last three series. Stevenson yesterday completed his first full series, but took a part in two others, The line-up and summary: America (8). Britain (5).

MUNN’S RING HOPES. JOLTED BY GODFREY NEW YORK, September 15 (A).— The heavyweight ambitions of Monte Munn of Lincoln, Nabr.. who has been a foot ball star and a legislator, had dwindled somewhat today after a tech- nical knockout suffered in the fourth round of his scheduled 12-round bout with George Godfrey last night at Eb- bets Field, Brooklyn. The giant Leiperville, Pa., negro started slowly, but after getting the range he started in to deal out severe body punishment. In the third round Godfrey put Munn to the floor for a count of nine with a series of smash- ing rights to the head and body. Munn was forced to clinch to save himself after getting up. Munn was so battered in the fourth that the referee stopped the bout. The Nebraskan was groggy and on the ropes. He gave away 17 pounds in welght to Godfrey, who scaled 22813, RINGSIDERS NAMED BY PROMOTER TEX By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO.
